Open the Curtain to your Eyes!

Have you ever wondered why life presents so many doors to walk through?  Just as one door closes, the next door opens.   The door you walk through and the room you enter is by personal choice.  It's your personal growth journey, your life experience and spirituality that will keep you moving through life's revolving doorway.

I describe a personal doorway as an opportunistic life experience, a place to learn something new and different!  A doorway is an entry path to the room you need to be in to experience your personal growth, personal challenges, challenges to enhance your life and keep you moving to the next doorway. The places we occupy can sometimes be painful and sometimes joyful! 

People choose the room they occupy.  Some people stay in one place longer than others and some not long enough in the place they need to be.  Most people occupy space by their emotional needs.   When our needs are great we tend to overstay our welcome and fail to move forward to grow emotionally healthy.  When a person feels captivated by fear or helplessness with no sense of belonging, a natural tendency to lose focus of your life purpose takes over. 

To make the best of the room or space you occupy observe what's going on around you and decide if it fits with your passion and purpose to fulfill your happiness.  Embrace the emotional experience, take what you need and accept what you get.  If you are in an unpleasant place it's your choice to own or discard the feeling of despair.  Everyone feels captive inside a room that's dark and gloomy.  It's usually temporary and if you stay calm, trust your inner spirit, listen to your conscience, you will find your way out and leave the darkness when you choose to open the "Curtain to Your Eyes"

Life is ever changing!  As you spiritually grow, doors will open all around you.  Keep the curtain to your eyes open and embrace life's journey!

Renewed Hope Calms My Storm Inside

When you think of the word HOPE, you get the feeling all is good! I describe the word HOPE as a sense of renewal after a long treacherous down pour of rain drenched in sadness.  

HOPE of sunshine renews faith and brings back, the person we strive to be under GOD'S one umbrella. 

Have you ever left home without your umbrella? It's not often, rain drowns us in sadness, but when it does we lose all sense of calmness! We all become an isolated rain storm, desperately seeking the sun.
My life is described as upbeat and positive.  I work daily to find positive in all that I seek by avoiding the rain storms. I always carry my favorite umbrella to open and be under "Gods" influence of protection and positive energy.  

When I occasionally leave home without my protective shield or God's umbrella, I expose myself to small drops of sadness and quickly seek a sun ray to shine upon my face and bring a smile to my sadness.  

Unnoticed, I creep away into a private place of hopelessness and wait with tears until the beam of light overcomes my temporary dark sadness.  

This rare occasion is a time to be left alone to battle our storm within, No one can say or do anything to comfort the pain.  The storm passes through an emotional radar and through faith and God's presence, we begin to turn loose and the storm begins to lift.   Without God's umbrella, we cry inside with rain.  We saturate and drown our bodies in wet pain.

In the down pour of rain, go deep within the pain and search for the sun ray the soul needs to shine faith back into our heart.  Pray with faith the storm will pass.  Suddenly, the first small beam of light appears inside the broken cloud, the feeling of renewal begins to warm and comfort our pain. 

Once again, we awaken ourselves with a strength of renewed faith and accept that pain is short lived and this too shall pass!    

Does Luck Define What's Real?

What people want and need are two totally different things. We all want more at some point in our life, but accepting what we need is the true pursuit of happiness.

Many people seem to think that the word "LUCK" is real.  People think if someone has more fortune, it’s out of pure luck and they should have the same because they deserve it and have worked equally as hard!  

LUCK is not real! People are not born lucky, we do not create luck, in fact the word luck should be taken out of the dictionary. The word luck is linked with the feeling of being cheated or robbed from what we think we deserve and not necessarily what we need.  Feeling cheated by luck will cause a life of misery, victimization and eventually internal sickness.
 

Seeking material possessions for personal gain and recognition is nothing more than false ego. False Ego is fear and Edging God Out!  We bankrupt our life with false ego and fear through obsessing on material possessions we think we want, and probably do not need.  If we learn to forget the material world that consumes so much of our time, we can learn to live our life free from others.  Many people in the world take on unnecessary financial debt to impress people they don't know. 

My father once told me, that a financial high-roller is a person who with a false ego spends money they don't have to impress the people they don't like!  

“Life’s Passion Play”

Life is a whirlwind of hobbies, projects, challenges, learning opportunities, joyful events, pain, sadness, Love; everything one could imagine that frames who we are today, the framework for our own life "Passion Play" veiled with purpose.

The people we encounter along the way in life will help shape the props we use to build the stage to our story. What we experience in life will become our manifesto, a beginning with no end, a piece of history that will be carried on for generations to understand and know.


Our passion is what keeps us driven to seek the true meaning of purpose which empowers our life.  The best way to discover one's inner spirit is to let go of the things that complicate life and cause fear.

When we accomplish letting go of negative behavior, the negativity of one’s past, we begin to accept our self and love others through the love we hold for our own life.

Forgiveness is letting go of pain.  Loving one’s self and embracing change through acceptance will open our life to the true meaning of passion with purpose.

Choices NOT Coincidence

There is a purpose and a solution to life’s circumstances. Life is not powered by coincidence instead it is powered by circumstances of choice. The friends you keep; the places you go, the things you get involved in are all an outcome of choice! Listen to your higher power and challenge yourself daily to find positive purpose to your life and help others to do the same.   

Where does the wave break?

Our life is defined by riding a wave to shore! It's a discovery of fulfilling our purpose and opening our soul, believing in ourselves and learning to stay on top of the board.

In other words-"staying on the straight and narrow without getting pulled down". 

Life is like a giant wave! Every good surfer falls off the wave! It takes practice, persistence and overcoming the fear of the unknown before we can ride our wave all the way to shore before the wave breaks!

For many of us, myself included, life is one wave after another, the crazy rush of falling off the board, consuming large amounts of water, feeling like you're drowning while you fall flat on your face, never seeing the danger ahead. The fall is a cold awakening, it's brutal! It's a big splash of salty sting that hits us right in the face sometimes making it hard to get up!

FEAR is what keeps us from reaching the shore or in this case our goal to succeed. Once we realize that fear doesn't exist in the reality of our conscience, we reprogram the subconscious and begin to trust ourselves. This is the first step in unveiling the challenge to fulfill our destiny and acknowledge our purpose in life. If we embrace confidence with a spiritual revelation and listen to our inner voice, we can ride any BIG wave regardless of the size or magnitude of the energy that tries to hold us back.

The normal struggles people experience throughout life is a feeling of negative energy at different big waves in our life. This negative energy is what holds us back from who we truly aspire to be. If we could figure out how to avoid the initial set back from negative energy, we can avoid falling off the big wave! Inevitably, a fall always happens in life, it's when we least expect it and are not prepared to act accordingly is when we drown. When the unexpected fall happens, we go into an awful plight of desperation to survive being drowned. The negative energy of adrenaline rushes through our body, pushes us forward, tosses us around and sucks us back out alone without our board to ride. In the desperate deep we paddle around trying to find our board trying vigorously to avoid being sucked further out into the drowning undertow of self-control.

It's this example of negativity that repeats itself repeatedly, while we resist making changes to the way we seek to paddle the ocean.   At this moment, our body begins to break down and die off before we have a chance to discover our true purpose of survival.

Today, some of you are floating around trying to keep your head above water, trying to stay alive! That's o.k., if that's where you are in this large body of water. It takes some people longer to figure out how to tread water to keep from drowning. You may need to tread the water and wait patiently for your big wave.  When the big wave arrives, take the opportunity to control and change your course in a better direction that gets you to shore safely.

You have arrived! The awakening has happened! It’s while you were treading water trying to stay afloat that you realized you never needed the board to surf the wave back to shore. Your god talent within, the energy of your life and your positive power to survive kept you from drowning.

YOU'RE ready to conquer your fears, accomplish your goals, find true happiness, trust in others, seek within your own personal insights, boost your relationship with your higher power, listen to your divine self, grow your spirit, gain personal power over your life, build confidence through positive daily affirmations and finally release the FEAR or doubt that has kept you floating around in the deepest waters of nothingness!

You have the personal tools or your own survival kit to stay alive against the size, strength, magnitude of the waves that try to damage your life. It's all within your soul surfing journey to stay alive and ride the wave. If you let life suck you down because you lack the willingness to change your path of destruction, go out and challenge your ability to succeed and eventually you will overcome the feeling of weakness, and the feeling of helplessness.

We all fall from time to time. It's when you do not acknowledge the consequences of yourself by controlling mind over matter; you never learn to ride the wave like a pro!
