The Blessed Life

Imagine the beautiful voices of angels that speak, that I can hear them.  How a blessed life is when I can feel God's love in all moments of my life.  It will be a wonderful life, indeed. Angels speak all the time.  They exist to guide humans and teach important life lessons.  They come in dreams though I may not recognize them or remember the dreams upon waking.   They nudge me when I am awake though I may be too skeptical to understand it.  They communicate inside my head and I may dismiss it thinking it is just an imagination. They are all around at all time.  They might even try to appear before me.  Or, they choose to speak through someone so that I can get the important messages.  Angels are always trying to make contact, always wanting to reach out. Their presence is God's gift to humanity.  It is God's way to touch humans, of comforting us.  The Divine wants humans to understand the universal abundance.  Only when ...

I have sins of my own to count.  I argue and I have anger.  I criticise and I judge.  I have lied.  My ego makes me think that I am better than many.  My intellect tells me that I know a lot more.  I make promises and break them. There are people that are hurt by me, mentally and emotionally.  I make them to be upset.  I make them to be angry.  I make them to feel uncomfortable.  Surely, there are people who dislike and hate me. Without me realizing, my bad behaviour has to do with my insecurity.  It has to do with my ego that wants to control.  It has to do with the lack of empathy and understanding.  I am loving myself too much that I am over protecting myself but in a nasty way.  I become inconsiderate, selfish and self centered. I must address my bloated self esteem, my arrogant self important.  I have to learn to be humble.  I need to be aware that I will never be the Mr-know-all.  I cannot be the ...

I have to be a reflection of my words.  Communication has the power to be my best friend or a worst enemy.  Whatever that I say, I need to act accordingly.  I need to mean it.  I should not be saying something camouflaged in superfluous and irrelevant words.  Importantly, I need to be truthful with my chosen words. To speak from my heart, it is good that I avoid not to talk foolishly.  I have to speak from what is real.  My words are the reflection of my soul.  I should not speak for the sake of speaking.  My voice has to reflect my sincerity.  It is good that I can be specific in what I want to say. I must learn to speak so that I can be understood.  To do that, I have to believe in what I am trying to say.  There has to be value in my thoughts.  My words have to be authentic and they stay true to my heart. The more that I mean what I say, I am empowering my life.  I am adding value to it.  The more that I do wh...

I have to assure myself that I am never in poverty.  In good faith, everyone has too much of something, whether it is time, talent or treasure.  For its authenticity and to be grateful in life, I should not have a poverty mentality. With that state of mind, I will be able to open my heart and be able to give back.  I have to find the joy in giving something back.  It is said that "your greatness is not what you have, it is what you give". The act to give is to live lives to be a blessing and be useful.  It shall enrich my soul as well to the receiver.  It makes me to acknowledge that life is bigger than me.  That life is not all about me.  I have to think beyond me. I have to consider other people in this world.  Should I want to live fully as possible, I have to make space for them, their troubles and their joy in my heart.  What would I do for my beloved, the people to whom I care and love?  Would I not give them to share my life,...

It matters greatly to take time to care on my well being.  When I take good care of my mind and body, it produces positive feelings so that I can transmit these good feelings to others.  These positive emotions compliment for my social, medical and psychological state. Taking good care of myself is paramount to the success for my personal growth.  It helps to support my emotional, mental, physical and spiritual state of being.  Taking care of all these aspects will increase the likelihood that I will be joyful, happier and more at peace. I have to live healthy.  I have to practice good hygiene.  I have to do something I enjoy every day and do things that matter to me.  And, I have to find ways to relax.  When I take good care of myself, I boost the ability to deal with stress and keeping myself healthy.   The only way to be at peace with myself is by embracing the sense of responsibility and self care. Taking care of my body emotionally,...

Who's Job Is it? This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.  Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.  Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job.  Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.  It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.

To surround myself with a bird of the same feather will allow me to be happier.  By engaging with like-minded individuals makes me to learn life lessons at a faster rate.  This is a group of souls that will judge me less but creates better experiences.   They will allow me to learn different viewpoints, identify blind spots without throwing me under the bus. I have to identify these souls should I want a quality lifestyle.  I have to prioritize my happiness and peace.  My mind does not have to work harder with such group of like minded individuals.  There is no pretension for there is common understanding with one common language and purpose. As a human, I need a little validation, encouragement or advice.  While many can offer their wisdom, it is hard for them to relate to me should our minds are not alike.  Sharing common struggles together is a great way to brainstorm solutions, amicably and lovingly. Learning and growing are keys in life....

Every day is a new day.  Every day is a new beginning.  When the sun rises every morning, so shall be my will to live.  Let the new light shines on hope and let faith be with new opportunities.   Should yesterday did not end up the way I wanted it, today is godsent day to start anew.  Today, I have to give another shot at the best.  Nothing is pre-destined.  Everything, in life, happen for a reason and let that reason be good.  Life happens when I react to it.  What I visualize, it shall materialize. Should yesterday had been wonderful, today will be much better.  All about life is interlinked and interconnected.  Every day brings better chances.  Every day has lessons to be learned. I have to live in the now and be a Nowist.  This is the only place I will be better off.  Now is all I have and I have to treasure it.  I cannot change what has happened but I can change what is happening in my present, the now....

When I pass judgement is like I am holding a gun and start shooting at others.  My words to judge others are the bullets.  They will definitely injure another or could even kill.  Nothing in life causes more pain and suffering than the judgements that I hold about and against others. I need to learn to hold my judgement and, at best, to keep my judgement to myself.  I should not be a loose cannon.  Being judgemental blocks my spiritual growth.  Every time I choose to judge others, I am forgetting about their true stories, about their frustrations and their pains. In reality, all humans are struggling.  What good am I trying to achieve should I judge them without knowing their stories?  Am I better than them?  If yes, how much better? Most judgement is destructive.  When I judge others from my negative perspective, I am doing it to  make myself better.  What I do not realize is that I lack empathy.  That, my ego is bigger t...

Should I fail today, it does not mean that I will fail tomorrow.  When I am feeling low today, it will be another emotion the next day.  Hopefully, a joyful one.  I must not let life throw me off track.  There is always something much more to life than what it is.  Life is always about changing.  Nothing ever stays the same. Whatever I am experiencing today is to make me a better person.  It is important that I encourage myself to let go.  When I let go, I can move on.  It shall unload all burdens, forgive them and look at the brighter side.  Only to let go the past, and embraced it with love, that the weight of the world is lifted off the shoulders. Moving on transforms for the better when I am accepting my errors, my mistakes and my wrong doings.  I have to take ownership to forgive the experiences.  It is very important to forgive.   Moving on will allow me to refocus, gain clarity and to make me prepared for the n...
