Food for Thought

There are two roadblocks among several that we all face in pursuit of happiness:  wholeness and spiritual maturity. These are roadblocks of what we consider tragedy, loss and a breakdown of personal relationships.

 

There are certain obstacles to spiritual growth. If working out in a gym were easy with or without a personal trainer, everyone would be doing it, wouldn’t they?

 

Be present wherever you are now! Be fully engaged! Don’t watch the clock!

 

The one thing I have learned from my life experience, things may be disguised as something else. At the very foundation of every spiritual journey, the roadblock is usually fear:  fear of being alone, fear of failure, fear of the unknown and fear of rejection. We weren’t born to live in fear.  It keeps us from our purpose.

 

Be still. Quiet your spirit. Getting in touch with yourself and being connected is what is missing.

 

Loving yourself is a choice you make. Take the risk! Victories only come after struggles and countless defeats. With each struggle and each defeat, you will sharpen your skills and strengths and your courage and endurance. Your confidence will grow, and thus your obstacles become a comrade-in-arms forcing you to overcome them, propelling you ever forward on the journey toward peace.

 

Remember to keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving. ©
