The Blessed Life

Sometimes in life, I need to stop for a moment.  And, I must stop for that moment.  I should not keep going without taking the time, the moment to ponder for what is next to come.  I must not chase after my shadow without spending time to appreciate what is there in my hands. There must be a reason when I stop for that moment.  What is important is for me to be grateful.  I have to be thankful to what life has given me, to where it has brought me.  At that moment, I need to realize what I have done, what I have traded on all my options. In this world that is full of pleasure so frail, I need to sit back to smell the roses.  Wisely, I must be grateful and acknowledge the source of goodness in my life.  I need to pause to recognize the daily moments that bring me joy and be thankful. Day by day, everything about my life shall unfold.  Should I not take the time to stop for that moment, I may not know who I am.  I may continue to wander, mi...

When I love the light in me, I learn not to hurt myself.  Hurt is an energy that dwindles camaraderie.  It destroys and divides the good things.  I need to stop hurting myself and start living by looking inward.  At the same time, I have to create beautiful meanings moving forward.

Self love is the foun...

To pursue happiness, I need to know when to surrender.  To be at peace, it is good that I can walk away from events that no longer serve me.  To regain strength and to improve on the quality of life, it is better to let my guard down and leave the past to focus on the future. When I surrender, I turn away from my ego.  I submit to my higher self to let go any painful experiences.  I let go the intense demands on my actions to accept what is in my hand.  This moment of acceptance is the one that matters. When I walk away from events, I am not walking away from love but I am choosing to move out of negativity.  I walk away to let go of control.  Walking away takes more strength than retaliation.  To let go the need to control is bending my mind from overacting, when left unchecked can be more destructive than staying around. To strike harmony in life, in any social interactions, I must learn to let the past go.  When things are no longer workin...
