Gratitude

We ought to be grateful. We are such a small part of the whole universe, but each of one of us is as necessary and vital as any other because God says it is so. We must be grateful for the opportunity to live by the highest truth, the very truth at the core of our existence which is love.  I don't believe in fear, I feel like believing in such is limiting our potential. Not that I am saying I am completely without fear, it's just that if love is pure, if it is whole and all- encompassing than it can have no opposites, love is everywhere, and so no one can be left out of the equation.

We must be grateful because our time is limited, our bodies finite, our beauty temporary, our knowledge and worldly wisdom is subject to change, our possessions cannot be carried to heaven but the love we have for God is eternal and the love he has for us is beyond eternity. Rest assured that whatever the situation, circumstances, predicament or challenges that face you at this very moment, you have earned the divine right to be where you are. It has been made  perfectly clear that you can handle the hard stuff. As you navigate and swerve through the challenging  places, right now is where you have the opportunity to demonstrate how much you have grown in spirit.

When God laid out the plan for your life, He put greatness in you. He put creativity, strength, determination, everything you need to fulfil your destiny. All you need is already with you! Don't focus on adversity; focus on God. You were created to thrive and to live an abundant life. Take the leap and know that God is positioning you for greatness. How to make your dreams happen? Wake up and show up. Surrender your life to God, let go of all your attachments to the end result because love is all that's needed. If we were to simply begin a practice of gratitude in our everyday lives, we begin to notice all the abundance God has placed within us already, and so instead of manipulating  the world to meet our desires, the world raises up to meet ours. Begin with a grateful heart and abundance will follow.

The love you give is the love you live! Sometimes when we get too attached to the world and we rely too heavily on their opinions of us, we get lost, we start to loose faith in our power and potential. One thing to note is that if God himself created you- and he did, how can there not be greatness within you? How can you refuse to let the light God put in you, shine? How can you deny the world of your magnificence? How can you willingly  participate in your own slow suicide? The most good a man can do in his lifetime, is to seek God, choose to embody and express love always, to live by the truth he knows God approves of and to always stay grateful.

The root of suffering is attachment

Can you control your own mind? Your attachments ? If you can't succeed in doing so now, what makes you think you can do so when your time is over? Learn to go beyond your mind, and in doing so you will soon realise that all there is and ever was is love, all else is temporary.When you begin to move away from the empty, grasping, manipulative condition, you must first learn to let go. You must relax, stop struggling, stop trying so hard, stop trying to manipulate things and people to get what you desire. Stop trying to do things and just simply breathe and have the experience of just being for a while. You will begin to notice how amazing you were made to be, without the aid of outside factors.  When you allow yourself to be present in the present you make room for an abundance of creative energy to flow through you. You will begin to realise that you can rest assured in the fact that God is always on your side, he will always provide for you, no need to try too hard. When you trust that you will always be carried, that your goals will always be heard and made to flourish once you are aligned with him then you will begin to place your focus on goals that make you thrive and come alive, goals which are directly in line with your core purpose. 

Most people have been cut off from their awareness of who they are, lost their connection with the divine and so all their power and will for life has diminished. They have become helpless to the pleas of their own heart. This inner helplessness causing them to overcompensate by striving and struggling very hard to maintain some control in their lives. Thus they become very goal oriented, they become attached to things outside themselves to create the illusion they need to feel happier about themselves. They feel there is something missing inside of themselves, they become tense, anxious and stressed, continuously trying to fill the emptiness in their soul, trying to manipulate the outside world in order to get what they crave deep within. Make a conscious decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved and the need to judge, you won't regret it!

Honestly, I have been there, I know what it's like and what I can say is that the bravest thing you can do is to completely remove that thing that is sucking the life out of you. No need to explain yourself, it's your God given right to eliminate anything bad for you from your life. It's natural that initially there may be some resistance but eventually this new and better way will make you into the person you were meant to be. True self power kicks in when you realise you  are beneath no man, and you are immune to criticism and are fearless. Are you willing to step out of the unknown? Are you willing to sacrifice who you are for the magnanimous person you were meant to be? The worst curse to befall anyone is a dreary stagnation, a banal existence, the quiet desperation that comes out of a need for conformity to man's ways.
