Today's Journey

I think most people are looking for something they will never find because the intent of their focus is not powerful enough to bring it into existence.  We all want health, wealth, happiness and love to be content and to discover peace in our souls.  The question is… what are we each truly doing to bring these feelings into our lives enriching our existence? 

Some people believe it is someone else that creates these feelings for them; that is why they must continually seek new relationship after new relationship hopelessly seeking a feeling of contentment.  It is true, long lasting loving relationships is one of the cornerstones of success in life, however to be long lasting, we must understand ourselves first.  Knowing this premise, we begin to ask ourselves some key questions.

Who are you? 
Who are you now?
Who are you becoming?
What would make you satisfied with your life?
Are you living the vision you had hoped for, and if not, why not?
What must you do to live the life of perfection you seek and acknowledge in your dreams?

We are each explorers on this earth, actually wild adventurers, some of us seek greater thrills than others, some of us only live half of a life by playing it safe.  Is playing it safe worth it?  There is so much to you and I, so much incredibly more than we are grasping.  Today, I challenge you to seriously ask yourself these questions and then honestly answer each of them one by one.

You are on the journey of lifetime right now, it just happens that journey is where you currently reside, and is dependent upon the daily allocation of your time.  Are you wasting your life?  Whose lives are you enriching, what great experience is bringing you a sense of fulfillment and inner-peace?  Are you laughing, smiling broadly and exuding happiness, or are you living an empty life in an emotional shell without the strength to push the lid off because your feelings have encased you into your own personal prison?  So what are you going to do about it?  Moping is not the answer, self pity maybe acceptable for awhile, but it does not challenge you to live beyond your doubts and fears.

More questions….
Who will be with you on your great journey?
What will your personality be like?
Will others be drawn to you, or would they rather run away?
Do you find yourself helping and uplifting others or hurting them?
What brings you satisfaction in life?
Will you be loved and how will you love?

If the real key to life is to love God, love yourself and love others, then why do you and I dedicate so much time to the nonsense of spiritually hurting ourselves by our own limiting beliefs and thoughts and petty complaints?  We are not here to belittle others and ourselves, rather our existence is to bring a piece of God to every relationship we have.  When we fail to bring God to each relationship, we fail ourselves and find torment rather than peaceful bliss and happiness.    

I want you to find peace and happiness, I want this for myself.  So, today as you reflect upon these questions, finally ask yourself what attributes of God do you possess and have the capability to give away to others you meet and draw into your life?  Upon your absence, how will you have impacted them, and did you make their lives better?  Did they discover more peace in their life because of your presence?

Peace to you my friend.
