Greetings Dear Readers,
.
Here's hoping you are well and enjoying fine weather.
What a Principle we have here....
'Once you have no illusions about self, you are better off.'
This seems a principle for some contemplation about whether we do have illusions, fantasies, or misconceptions with regard to self that keep us from living life realistically or in real time.
This is not to say we should not have goals, aspirations, ambitions, etc.
Let's give this timeless truth a think....shall we.
.
.
Wishing you all the best....God best!
.
'For by Grace are you saved through faith and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.' Ephesians 2.8 & 9
.
It is faith alone in Christ alone for salvation.

Thank you for dropping by. ^__^

You are too kind....thank you....
Hmm, this is deep. Illusion is just a thief that may confuse one's. It is not real anyway, so one just have to be very careful and face their fear head-on. You really capture it, and the pictures are amazing.
Greetings @toluwanispecial ,
Thank you for dropping by with your kind comment. ^__^
It is a harsh truth as well and really one can only answer it for themselves and hopefully give it a think.
It is ever so easy to become distracted from what is reality, what is doable versus the carrots offered and on display in artificial simulation be it film, media, online etc.
Kind Regards, Bleujay

Thank you @geneeverett for the Pizza!
I came for the painting, was charmed by the waterside, and I affirm the principle -- the hardest thing is to look into that glass darkly and see all that there is to see for now, but also the most necessary.
What a lovely reply...thank you @deeanndmathews .
So true....getting the rug pulled out from under you...is no fun...yet necessary sometimes.
Kindest Regards,
Bleujay

Thank you @geneeverett . ^__^
You should have realistic goals... I can't have the illusion to be Einstein and change the world, but I can do something good still with my capacities !
Great photos, I really like that beach
Greetings @davideownzall ,
So true...Excellent application of the principle.
Happy to hear your thoughts and kind compliment.
Kind Regards, Bleujay

Greetings friend, we cannot live on illusions like assumptions. We have to face reality to be totally happy.
Greetings @zuliquijada22 ,
Thank you for your kind reply...so true.

Principles over rules, this makes us self regulate.
Greetings @ctrpch ,
Thank you for dropping by with your wise words.
Great men in histroy lived by Principle and we can as well.
Kind Regards, Bleujay
In life, as they say, we must keep our feet on the ground and know very well our strengths as well as our weaknesses so as not to fill ourselves with illusions and face reality in order to find the path to achieve all the successes we seek. And awesome photos friend
Greetings @hjrrodriguez ,
Your reply sounds quite like how Mr.ChatGPT would respond...excellent summary....I hope I am incorrect in my assessment.
Cheers, Bleujay
Nice to read from you again, @bleujay!
What kinds of flowers did you paint this time? They look wonderful, like a whole colorful field of flowers.
The water in your photos looks crystal clear, and the stones are very beautiful!
I agree that your principle of today doesn't mean not to have goals, aspirations, ambitions but it maybe helps you to better estimate your own skills and possibilities to be able to target realistic aims.
Greetings @gen-quimba ,
Lovely to hear from you....hope you are well.
The painting above is representing a bouquet of tulips, carnations, delphiniums and some other flowers and buds....a loose representation. ^__^
So true in your assessment of the Principle.
Thank you for your kind compliments.
Kindest Regards,
Bleujay
beautiful pictures
Thank you @monsterbuster !
Beautiful shot by the seaside... We have a few beaches and seaside in Nigeria, but I don't know anyone with the red pebbles and the yellow stones.
I think over-aspiraation or ambition is what I call the self-illusion, although I may be wrong... Although I like to have plans for tomorrow, 6 months time or in one year time, but I try not to exceed that, and try as much as possible to allow God do that for me.
Thanks for the beautiful verse of the Bible, it's one of my best, and reminds me that we're saved only through the Grace of God

What a lovely comment....thank you for dropping by.
Well said....it fits...'self-illusion'.
Thank you for your kind compliment with regard to the photographs and for your generous tip.
My pleasure...yes....what a verse to remind us that there is no work we do for salvation....it is God's Grace provision all the way.
Kind Regards, Bleujay

Thank you @lee1938 ...very kind of you!
Aspirations and over-inflated self-esteem are often things that move in parallel paths, but sometimes, lol, they can intersect :)
Have a blessed day @bleujay!
The watercolor is gorgeous!

When I first read this principle, I thought what about dreams and goals, etc. and then I read this
I agree though, that sometimes we vary from the way we percieve ourselves. It is beneficial to revisit our perceptions from time to time, a reset if you will.
Good things to think about. As always, I am charmed by your painting!
Do enjoy your summer!
Greetings Tammy,
Thank you for your thought-full comment....so true...yes..a 'reset'.
Appreciate your kind words regarding the artwork. ^__^

People who cannot make rules in their lives see life slipping away from them and do not even achieve success.
I think enlightenment and wisdom are the result of a life-long pursuit to eliminate these personal illusions. We create these illusions to shield ourselves from something, whether it is trauma, work we don't want to do, or doubts that keep us safe from something.
To me, it is like the horizon. We never really get there but steps taken along the way are the reward.
Greetings @zekepickleman ,
How very kind of you to drop by with your thoughtful reply...so true...well said.
Perhaps so and just as you mentioned there can be a number of reasons for it.
To be sure...'like a horizon'...and since we are not perfect....'we never really get there'....perfection/or our idea of the ultimate success....'but steps taken along the way are the reward'...Well said!
Kind Regards,
Bleujay
