Life is a miracle

Life  is a mystery but also a miracle. Sometimes success appears so far away. It seems as far away as a mountain top, it seems impossible to climb a steep rocky mountain, when you're in a valley below looking up. But what would life be if there were not any challenges?  In reality, we have everything that we need within us. We have been given an innate knowledge and marvelous physical abilities which were automatically born within us - all ready to emerge when needed. That formidable mountain is there for us to climb throughout our lives, because it is life's challenges that allow our true potential to be uncovered and put to use. 

So next time that life springs you with unexpected surprises, realize that they are needed for us to become who we were meant to be. The full potential within us has to be tapped in someway, and it is by the wonderful surprises and challenges that life brings that we get to encounter and discover our true selves. 

Take time everyday to appreciate the challenges, and know that we are given just enough to let us stretch so that we can reach our own true greatness. Let's remember that life is a miracle that needs to be treasured moment by moment. Let's take a conscious effort to see the miracles of the big mountains that appear in our path.  Achieving those climbs and overcoming the challenges, no matter how difficult, is what really makes life a success. 

Life is like a roller coaster

Life has its ups and downs, it is just like a roller coaster, some twists and turns are predictable, but they can still catch you by surprise and take your breath away. Just go with it, laugh and scream, then  catch your breath, but most importantly enjoy the ride. 

Make sure you're buckled in nice and tight. Hold on and don't lose your grip on the fast twisty curves and tight turns that surprise you along the way.  Keep that smile on your face and focus on the finish. When this ride is over you can look back and realize it was not as bad as seemed. Actually, there are many parts that you enjoyed. 

Life is all about living in the moment. Live greatly with no regrets, love deeply with all your heart, and laugh often during the ride. This way when you reminisce about your life, and all the different roller coasters that you rode, you can realize that as scary as some of these rides were, they really turned out to be great exciting accomplishments. 

Live Consciously!

Living consciously requires some work. Luckily, it's good and rewarding work. It mainly takes dedication, focus, and perseverance to stay on track. Dedicate yourself to seeking the light of God by taking quiet moments to affirm the good in your life, pray, read motivational books or meditate. It requires perservearance because it is a habit that we must do daily, and it is easy to get distracted by the craziness of everyday life. Focus on finding that time for yourself, no matter what, to find 10 to 15 minutes to fill yourself with the positive of your surroundings. It will be well worth your investment of time. 

Everyday choose to see the positive in life. Oh yes, there is effort required for us to remain positive. To be optimistic about life takes practice, and there will be times that it will be a challenge to not let life's circumstances get you down. But it is a choice that we all have to make, and a habit that we have to work on. Begin every day with compassion, see life with compassion. Compassion for yourself as well as others, after all, we are all human. 

Close your eyes and see yourself being surrounded by light, a light that comes from the universe, and it is filled with joy. This joy turns everything in this world to pure everlasting, non-judgemental love. This joy now permeates every cell of your body and begins to shine through your heart, it now illuminates not only your being but everyone around you. Now smile, and be proud of your efforts, know that you are living a conscious life. 

Spring has finally sprung!

It has been a cold winter. Frosty gray days with icy winds had me staying in most of this winter. I had a lot of time to recollect about life and think. I felt as if I was in a cocoon. Gathering my thoughts and reaching out to my true self. We all need moments to look inward, pause, and make sure that we're going in the right direction in life. 

The icy roads, low temperatures, and chilly days forced me to take a break, and view the course of my life. At times, the gray skies seemed infinite. But it made me appreciate the warmth of the sun. It made me realize that behind those seemingly thick, gray, and gloomy clouds there was a beautiful blue sky and a shiny sun waiting to begin shining on me again. 

Now the skies are shifting, the wind is blowing, the clouds are thinning, and the sun is coming through. Yes! The birds are chirping loudly again outside my window, letting me know that Spring is here. I am ready to come out of my cocoon. Ready to take deep breath, spread my wings and start anew. The future holds endless possibilities. I know that I am capable of anything and everything, the future is mine!
