“Countless wishes come across our radar, if we do not respond to them who will? We have the greatest impact on those around us, we should seek out these opportunities
eagerly. If we deny the request of a friend, neighbor, co-worker or family member and subsequently send a check to another cause outside of our network, then what good is our association within our own sphere? Where is the integrity of our mission to give and nurture within our own relationships?” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“There is no substitution for the care and love that goes into a gesture…You can’t expect a result that is greater than the effort. This is true in all of life. To think that our gesture or gift will mean something more than the effort we put into it, is to truly deceive ourselves, and yet this is what many of us do in life. We put forth very little effort expecting something more in return. We cannot feign gratitude and thoughtfulness, it is either a genuine feeling or it is a hollow gesture.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Each experience in the abyss contains the great lessons in life. These can only be appreciated by looking back with gratitude on what we have learned from the experience. We must value these lessons as they renew and deepen our faith, strengthen our relationships and allow us to look upon life and the world with a new perspective. When we reflect on the person we are now we must realize we are the result of our trials and tribulations in life. Our character is not
strengthened because of all the experiences when things were normal and uneventful. We will find our character and who we are as a person came about as a result of our lessons in life. We are forged in our moments of challenge and difficulties. If we feel that our life has been nothing but trials and tribulations then we should rejoice in the bounty of lessons learned so far. However, if we continue to experience the same problems over and over again it means that we have not yet learned and appreciated a particular lesson.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“If one cannot be thankful for what they have, they will never appreciate more. One of the most fundamental lessons we learn in life is how to be happy. If we think happiness comes from expecting and fulfilling every
material wish, we are not likely to be happy at all. The more we come to expect from people, the less likely we are to receive from them, as entitlement is a negative, self-absorbed, selfish state of mind. Only when we stop expecting things from people, are they able to surprise us with their generosity.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

We begin to see the magic and wonder in our life, the small blessings along with the large. We cannot fake these types of feelings or attitudes; it would be foolish to think we could fool ourselves. If we affirm to ourselves we are a loving person and then ignore opportunities to express that belief in our lives than the affirmation or belief is hollow.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth. ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

“Gratitude produces a content state through the acknowledgement of all good things in our life. It also has the beneficial effect of combating negative emotions as it is difficult to be grateful and angry or depressed at the same time. When we fill ourselves up with the acknowledgement and recognition of all that is good, we allow the feeling of abundance to overflow into our lives. This becomes the conduit for all good things to affect the world around us. By sharing our joy and happiness, instead of anger and resentment common with a scarcity state of mind, we attract to ourselves more positive things in life. This self-reinforcing cycle allows us to focus on what makes us happy and that which we focus on, we
get more of.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“At times we may find it difficult to rid ourselves of pessimism. By feeling this way our beliefs create the conditions to receive more of the same. The best technique for shifting doubt and pessimism to optimism is through gratitude, it washes away negativity by displacing it. This is best illustrated by the water the flowers not the weeds philosophy. To water those aspects of life we are thankful for assist their growth going forward. Withholding the water of thought and recognition from the undesirable aspects of life allows them to wither away and die. Searching life for all that is good effectively dispels the dark emotions. We should always be thankful for many things such as family, friends, shelter, food, etc.. When all else fails we can always be thankful for the wonderful gift of life and the many experiences it provides.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Growth can be achieved by recognizing and overcoming our fears, eventually becoming fearless. It requires work and dedication at first, then a faith you can cross the abyss through this we gain confidence. If we are lucky, we acquire the understanding the abyss is our own creation. It is very easy during life to get caught up in the typical aspirations involving success and material goods. During our quest of this objective we rarely if at all take the time to reflect on what is truly important. Sometimes it takes a fall into the abyss to reflect on our life. I would argue it is only our encounters with the abyss that make us reflect at all.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Life is similar to running a business, if one is only interested in surviving they make no attempt to grow or risk for the sake of growth or a vision. If a person’s vision is to survive, won't that person make choices far different than one who's mission is to grow, to leave behind a legacy, teach, help, or to make this world a better place for having been alive? By having a vision for our life that stands for something greater than ourselves and greater than our current condition, we are motivated to cross the abyss. All of life is hardwired in this way, yet through our own evolution and the creation of the ego we remain too focused on survival thereby creating a conflict that hinders our growth. In business there are only two states of being; growing/improving or declining/decaying. Moving through life we find the same thing.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

"Many would call the desire for predictability as a comfort zone. Staying within that zone eliminates surprises and minimizes fear, but unfortunately also limits our experience in life. To experience expanded levels of consciousness, we must be
willing to go outside of our comfort zone. Real growth or accelerated growth comes from pushing ourselves beyond our known limitations. Growth can be likened to a plant that seeks to reach the light of the sky, it can only produce more growth above soil consciousness) when it has pushed its roots deeper into the ground of knowledge and self-awareness. This analogy is fitting because the roots of a plant cannot see where it is pushing. It does not know when it may come upon an obstacle or an area of fertile ground. Faith is similar to this because one cannot always know the outcome of a particular action, at least not at this stage of our evolution." ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

"We expand our knowledge by the acquisition of new information which either supplants or adds to previous knowledge. Personal growth or the expansion of consciousness however is oftentimes the result of an experience with
hardship, significant emotional events, or paradigm shifts. These experiences force us to look within ourselves examining why we have perceived things a certain way, thus we begin to see what we are made of. The keystone to growth and expanded consciousness events, is a change in perspective or perception. This fact alone should tell us it is our own current beliefs and convictions that prevent us from monumental leaps in growth and consciousness. By holding on to false beliefs we prevent ourselves from awareness outside of those beliefs. We alone hold the key to an enlightened state, yet we search for it outside ourselves. It is growth and learning that become the catalyst for these sudden changes in thinking patterns and perceptions." ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“As we examine our life we find there are many activities which do not provide any nourishment to our growth. All growth requires the shedding of the old to experience the new. We too must discard old ideas and thought patterns in order to experience new ways of interpreting our world. In this process we clear the way for new experiences and beliefs. All throughout nature there are various examples of this from the skin cells we shed every minute to the molting of a snake’s outer skin to the complete transformation of caterpillar into a butterfly. What if our entire physical life experience was this same type of molting process, whereby we come into this realm of physical existence to grow and eventually shed our body? To experience a lifetime of growth requires that we continually shed old ideas, old beliefs, old habits and old thought processes in order to experience the new.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“It is surely easier and safer to never take risk in life and therefore avoid the abyss. The irony is in doing so we create the ultimate abyss in which we spend our lives. Any species which does not experiment, take risk, adapt and grow, ultimately grows stagnant or extinct. All of nature seeks expression of this life force. It is evident in life all around us as it has taken up domain in every place on earth; it has exploited every possible niche it can find. This is the spirit of life. Life is driven to exploit every conceivable strength. In the human species, it is the mind and our consciousness which allows us to connect to the greater consciousness that exist.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss
