THE DIAMOND STANDARD

Greetings,How are you feeling this week? I mean that, feel free to reply and share with me.I trust February was a month of increase in your life. (increased learning, or pleasure)Whether your experiences brought you pain or pleasure, don’t forget that the outcome is based on whatever you believe. Like I said last month (and thank you for the responses) when we get disappointed it is usually because something didn’t go as we had expected it to go.Sometimes that is because our expectations aren’t in line with the level of value we set for ourselves or show to others. Even if the expectation is discussed beforehand, if people don’t see the value in meeting an expectation then they fail to even try.THE DIAMOND STANDARDThis week I’ve been thinking about the value we place on ourselves and the way people treat us. We complain that people take us for granted but if you are repeatedly being mis-valued, who is responsible?Imagine a loved one saying they saw this item and thought it reminded them of you. You look at it and it is a rough grey stone. How would you feel, what would you think, say and do with it?Imagine them giving you a flawless diamond and ask your self the same questions.All diamonds start their journey as a rough grey stone but in time they become polished and valuable. After everything you have experienced on your journey, if you believe you are a stone, people treat you as if they have received a stone and they act accordingly.Diamond experts look at 4 main things.Cut - Diamonds are cut into different shapes according to the nature of the rough stoneCarat - Diamonds are graded out of a 100 but bigger doesn’t mean better. Diamonds of fine quality can be found in all shapes and sizes.Clarity - Years of pressure form flaws but in a flawless diamond, nothing interferes with the passage of light through itColour - A flawless diamond reflects all light coming in, to a rainbow on the way outYour morals, standards, language, mindset, actions etc.. form facets that reflect your value towards others. Choose nothing less than a diamond standard.Our journeys CUT us in to individuals but a perceived better journey, doesn’t mean a higher CARAT. Let nothing interfere with the CLARITY of the light that God shines through you and resonate a world of COLOUR and value.__________________Check out some of the PPSN member blog posts below, something of value to challenge your mind, feed your body and replenish your soul!With Divine Love & BlessingsS Xxp.s if you like my blogs you will love my seminar - Words Of Wisdom (WOW) The Seminar takes place on the 9th April 09 at the Hlton London Tower Bridge.

It's a gift that all people have but it can be more or less developed depending on the individual's upbringing and soul experiences.Few People Follow IntuitionMany times your intuition will go against all logic and reason, as you know it.Will you dare to challenge/Question the beliefs you have acquired from your family, religion or society?In a world where everyone else claims to know what’s best, how do you get in touch with your own feelings to make positive choices that serve you?THE LESSON IN THE MESSAGEBy Daniel ‘Dante’ BelloCut so deep inside like a blade running through my spine,Twisted,tumbled in expectation of what to expect from you ,Deep in my mind,I kept asking myself to shred from this notions.Sometimes the humaness in us wants to feed from the ordinary feelings or approval from others and that's blinds our judgements into doing what's essential and right.READ MOREDante has posted some really beautiful pieces of writing, to see more click here
