Understanding Your True Self!

Understanding your true self is a topic that many are unaware of. Most feel that they know themselves, yet this is not true. To prove this point just look around you today and you'll see that most people in our society today follow "The hottest/latest trends" in fashion, music, health, etc.

When we follow a trend we are giving that trend a piece of our soul, because we follow something, someone, or someplace that makes us feel good.

I'm not saying that trends are not any good for us, what I am saying is that we must utilize our inner, God inspired wisdom to know the difference of what it is we are doing and how may this affect us in our lives.

An example would be a new gadget that hits the market and it's an updated gadget to what we currently have, but with a few more whistles and glitzles.

The gadget we currently have does the job just fine and some, but we feel enticed to "upgrade" so we think.....We try to justify, just to keep up with the latest trend, so we convince (lie to) ourselves and others as to why we feel we need this upgrade, and how it will improve whatever it is we are wanting it to improve.

Marketing experts are geniuses when it comes to this. They use words that strike a cord within us like (Free, Upgrade, Sale, Limited Time Only, Proven, Guaranteed, Etc.) to make us feel like we've got the upper hand and we're in total control.

The fact is that we're duped into thinking this and we wind up not listening to our true selves. Our true selves would say something like, do I really need a new gadget, do I really need a new house, or the latest car, or boat.

If you desire the above mentioned items, or more, then by all means enjoy them, they will all come to you, but do not sell your soul (True Self) to acquire them, and only get them when you do not have to justify its purchase to anyone, not even your true self.

NEVER Give Up!!!

Today happens to be one of those days that seem painful, with the ones closest to you saying hurtful things, and trying to bring you down because of their own deep seeded issues, yet I tell you all, to hold on to your beliefs and say out loud.... I WILL NOT GIVE UP TRYING!

You see, you'll know when you're on the right path because a sense of peace is realized within your decisions and naturally you'll be tested to see if you'll stay the course of wherever you're heading.

There's an old saying which says...."To Whom Much Is Given...Much Is Also Required". that's so true, especially when you look at life! I take that quote above and apply it to every area of my life, not just business, yet family life and personal life as well.

If you're guiding your family in the right direction, expect opposition, if you're trying to guide your business or finances in the right direction expect opposition, if you're guiding yourself in the right path to physical fitness expect opposition, if you're guiding yourself in the path to spiritual enlightenment, or assurance, expect opposition.

The fact is that if you're on the path of growth in every aspect of your life, then forces that go against what you're doing, will try and bring you down, but you must NEVER give up!

When The Going Gets Rough!

Life is such an experience of good and not nearly as good days, yet as the awesome specimens that we are it's such a thrill to know that whatever solution we seek is literally within our soul and reach.

This is why it's vital never to give in to circumstances regardless of what they appear to be....I know some of you may be thinking, "Yeah But, This and That is happening to me", well I'm here to tell you that you're not alone in this challenge.

Try to look at these challenges as stepping stones to a place of consciousness you've never experienced, and see them as your benefit for growth even if the challenge is death!

You see, fear has a way of generating a life of its own that's diabolical in nature, since most fear is only designed to do one thing....Keep you off track (vision,goals,perspective) from attaining what life has in stored for you which is the right for you to be FREE, HAPPY, PEACEFUL, WEALTHY, HEALTHY, and HARMONIOUS in every situation.

When we allow fear to creep in along with doubt it becomes a recipe for DISASTER!

This is when you need to see beyond the circumstance and not give it the merit it's looking for. Ready for this....You're In Charge!!!

So buckle up and go with the flow of life, and I guarantee you'll become a much better individual all around...Spiritually, Physically, Financially, and Emotionally.

What Purpose Does Your Life Have?

Hmmmm.....Now this may be a complex question for some.

When you ask the question of what purpose does your life have, there are many answers that can range from the very simple to the extremely complex.

Life to me is liken to a moment by moment quest for peace, wisdom, knowledge, harmony, and love, along with anger, anguish, misunderstanding, and the many more woes life has to offer up in our journey.

To me this is what keeps life interesting and challenging even though at times of being tested I can honestly say that fun is a word that's very far from my thoughts as I endure these experiences. What I do know is this....Life is worth living, and sorting out instead of throwing away and giving up on.

I suppose my life's purpose is to seek the mystery that life is.

Remember, whatever your purpose is in your life, DO NOT give up on it, because if you do then you've lived your life in vain.

Your Future Are As Far As Your Thoughts!

Why is it that some people seem to have all of their future thought out dreams come to past, when others have a hard time even envisioning their future?

Is it that some people are lucky, and others are luckless?

I doubt it!

When you study the lives of great achievers through out history, you'll notice that each of these individuals had an unrelenting, unwavering desire to accept success into their lives.

Notice I use the word "accept" when describing the way the great achievers, achieve their respected desires and dreams. The difference between an individual who accepts his/her success and ones that sabotages their success is thought, and intention!

An individual that accepts his/her future success has come to grips with the fact that everything they need in order to succeed, is already a given, embedded within them from day one, so they know that chasing after something, whether it may be money, relationships, health, etc; is not a part of their game plan.

These people know that without a shadow of a doubt, what they believe to be theirs is just moments away from manifesting itself into their matter of reality just by their intentional thought patterns.

From the very beginning of their vision they could already see, taste, feel, touch, and hear their future right in their very core, and now all they do is put forth their intention towards the manifestation of that matter into their lives on a daily basis.

The opposite can be said of the non-achiever, who's always complaining about how they did not get a fair shot, or how someone else is wrong while they're always right.

The non-achiever find ways to disguise their lack of success with excuses and false objectives, that they make up in their own twisted thought patterns. All that leads to is more disappointment and despair.

The non-achiever relies upon luck, rather than rights, the non-achiever relies upon, wishful thinking, rather than direct intention.

The achiever on the other hand knows that the principles of the universe are his/her birthright to exercise, and expect, as long as they stand in harmonious alignment with the infinite laws of the universal structure.

The achiever has no clue as to what failure is, while the non-achiever grabs failure by the hand and squeezes it tightly without wanting to let go out of FEAR!

Become a person that is continually seeking to increase knowledge while at the same you're romanticizing wisdom, and ignoring completely fear, and failure.

Is Bad News Your News?

One of the first things we must do in order to change our thoughts, is to change our habits.

Each day we're bombarded with negative news from every media outlet in our communities, and to no surprise, each day it seems like the stakes are getting higher in the amount of trash and negativity these media outlets report.

If you wake up each day, and retire at the end of each day, either watching or listening to local, national, or world news, you'll undoubtedly feel the disharmonious vibrations resonating through out your being, and if you don't, then your vibrational energy is definitely on empty!

It is imperative that you start, maintain, and end each day with harmonious alignment that will edify your triune being.

Take the example of an elite athlete. Do you think that an elite athlete disregards the importance of staying in top notch physical, and mental state?

Absolutely not!

If an elite athlete did not feed his/her physical and mental being, then they would not be an elite athlete, they would be a wannabe athlete, that would wish to be in the elite!

The same principles are true for everyone who's seeking positive change in their life; they too must exercise, and properly feed their spiritual and mental muscle in order to succeed in the game of life.

We become our own worst enemy!

Whenever we allow negativity to visit with us and make itself at home, we then disrespect and make little of wisdom and knowledge that are within us to guide us and help us succeed.

Vibrational harmony is not a state of consciousness we can be in, if we input within us the negative news that will do nothing but deflate our spirit and fill us up with fear, depression, sadness, anger, and unfruitfulness.

Guide your thoughts, and they will guide you into a world that few experience and many more do not even know exist.

Think, seek, and speak edifying matter that will build you up into becoming an elite athlete and not just one who's a wannabe!

Real Men Don't Cry!

Stop crying......Be A MAN!!!

The words above are heard by boys around the world everyday, without the intender knowing the deep implications they are creating within the receivers of this twisted plot.

Crying, is looked upon, as a sign of weakness for many ages, especially if a man's crying in public. Even women in most cultures, view a man crying as weak, and insecure.

These beliefs are false and have no foothold to stand on!

If you ask most people, male, and female, especially in western culture, whom they thought was the most powerful man to ever live, their answer would most likely be, Jesus!

Did you know that Jesus cried...In public?

According to the Bible in John chapter 11: 33-36 it says:

"33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

34
"Where have you laid him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied.


35Jesus wept.

36Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"

What so astonishing about this is that Jesus was already an established individual with powers few refuted, yet when he saw the people in despair, he was able to empathize with them in their moment of pain and suffering.

Jesus, did not say, hey STOP crying, keep the fuss down, I can bring Lazarus back from the dead! Instead he partook in their moment of pain and did it in public view even in front of some hardliners, who said, "See how he loved him!"

I believe that crying is healthy, it helps relieve pressure from everyday life, and it can also happen when someone's happy and joyous, although that's a completely different topic.

If you're a man reading this, and have heard those words: "Stop crying......Be A MAN!!!" Do not adhere to such nonsense, and shed those tears wherever you're comfortable in shedding them ...In public or private view, because when it is all said and done, nobody can challenge your manhood, especially knowing the fact that Jesus himself shed his tears out in public view for all to witness!
