Remarkable Quotes

Karol K. Truman

“From the time of conception until we are adults we are strongly influenced by the feelings, thoughts, and attitudes of others. These feelings and attitudes are supplied to us by those who love us, by those who teach us, and by those who interact with us on a daily basis. Those who interact with us include parents, other family members, playmates, school companions, friends, relatives, teachers and other authority figures, as well as what we may ingest from observing the media.


When a thought (in this case, something someone said) is fed to us, and this thought connects with an established feeling that becomes energized by an emotional response, we unconsciously buy into what the person said as though it were an authentic, actual, valid truth. Sometimes the thought fed to us may even be a further validation of our already established, false, or incorrect feelings and beliefs. Or, that particular thought may start a new system of beliefs. These beliefs which we see or think of as truth, may be correct or incorrect.”

“Have you ever known someone who seemed to stand still on their journey through life, regardless of a strong desire to change for the better? Could this person be stuck—and in their ‘stuckness’ believe someone or something is keeping them from achieving the changes they would like? Perhaps this individual blames circumstances or another person for the inability to move forward.

Some of us may believe that the things giving us problems in life are out there—on the outside of us—like an outside enemy. Outside enemy? Is that how we refer to someone or something upon which we place blame? What we don’t understand is that we created this enemy, only this enemy is not on the outside. It’s on the inside. Could this be why blaming someone else seldom solves a problem? Are we pointing our finger at the wrong enemy? Is this also the reason that blaming keeps us from acquiring the wisdom we came here to gain?

“Do you ever ask yourself the question, ‘Why isn’t my life going the way I want it to?’ Are you experiencing desired results? If the answer is ‘no’, it could be due to your earliest programming…If you desire better results on a day-to-day basis, it is necessary to realize that ‘you create your own reality’. Some of you may have heard this before, others may not. So, you might ask, ‘What do you mean by, I create my own reality?’

On a subconscious level you create your own reality with your feelings and thoughts regardless of when, where or how they were established!...your very earliest feelings determine your beliefs. And in turn, your beliefs determine your thoughts. Your thoughts are seeds and you plant them in very fertile soil (feelings) that has been prepared from conception and infancy. When you plant your seeds (thoughts), you nourish (water) them by continually holding onto the thought with deep intensity. When a thought (seed) and a feeling (soil) are harbored, germination takes place and an energy is naturally released into the forces of creation. An emotion is created and the synergy of what has been created grows a crop. It creates your reality—is the cause of your effect—whether that crop is good or bad, desirable or undesirable.”

“Forgiveness of Self is imperative. We usually have a difficult time forgiving ourselves because of feeling unworthy, imperfect, not enough, or not good enough (there is a difference). Consider forgiving your Self first for not being perfect, worthy, enough or good enough. Then forgive your Self for any shame and guilt you might feel for something you did or didn’t do; for the things you feel you’ve done wrong or are holding against your Self. (These feelings about our Self are some of humankind’s greatest blocks.) If you are unable to forgive your Self, it’s impossible to genuinely forgive another.”

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."

Mohandas Gandhi
