HELLO READERS
A journey into the unknown territory of the mind and soul can sometimes be fraught with confusion anxiety and complete fear. You cannot afford delaying embarking on a quintessential mission to discover a reason to endure the heartache and tragedy that inevitably comes with living an all too soulful, deprived or isolated existence.
We determine who we are during all our acts of survival. Self-identity is an ongoing process of somehow managing to navigate our way through the challenges and obstacles which are strewn across our paths in our search for peace, love and happiness. Some will find it, many won’t. There always those people who like it when others fail and suffer because it assures them that they are not alone in the same predicament, or perhaps it just makes them feel better.
All too often, people tend to carry around too much pain in their hearts to the point where they surround themselves with impenetrable walls of steel like protection. Material wealth and possessions can offer temporary, fleeting pleasure, but they can never provide a deeper joy and understanding of life in quite the same way that love and true friendship can. Fear, jealousy, suspicion and anger are all emotional manifestations of a loveless and lonely existence. Being in love is only possible only when you first learn to love yourself. Self-care and respect is an inborn quality that has slowly been corroded and destroyed as a result of years of neglect and negative social conditioning. It’s so easy to forget that all the love we need is already within is, or rather, we just don’t know how to access it. It’s the lack of love and feeling unlovable that hearts die of.
In the late afternoon of their life, a precautious person gradually outgrows the fulsome myths that fuelled their impressionable youth. Perceived truths of a fawning youth no longer appear appealing, or even important. We need different things as we get older. Our outlook changes as do our priorities and values. Lavish adornments count for nothing because they are all superficial and meaningless objects. As with everything, one day they will all decay, perish and turn into dust. As we discover truths and appreciate those things which matter the most, we begin to develop greater clarity and better judgment. As you approach a critical juncture, you must try to make peace with your past, embrace the present and welcome the future as your soul journey continues along its twisted path towards eternity.
The world is in a continuous and ceaseless state of motion and transformation. The only constant is that the universe we occupy today will undergo many changes because of our thoughts and actions. The random volitions of the world’s flux are impervious to our meagre intentions. We are more reactors than we are enactors, often fearful of failure or a negative outcome. There will always be times when life crushes us. There is nothing absurd about wanting an uninterrupted existence away from all the daily grind and its associated stresses. We are nearly all searching for an escape route to safety away from all in insanity and madness. Our personal dreams are sometimes the only facet of life that we exclusively own that help to sustain us in times of uncertainty and distress. They cannot hang us for our thoughts. Every society produces its own outcasts, and it is never too late to uncover a redemptive epiphany.
The most important journey you will ever make is the one of self-transformation. Often, this is the scariest because it requires making the greatest changes and sacrifices. We underestimate the power of choice, to suddenly wake up one morning and decide to do things differently. The issues we often avoid by refusing to address are the very things that once nearly destroyed us. Once you become aware of all the tactics your mind is using to sabotage your peace and happiness, you can use your conscious mind to reframe your thoughts and create more positive beliefs. It is the celestial contract between your spiritual essence and the cosmic energies governing your life that will determine your destiny. It is commitment that transforms a dream into a reality. As you change your circle of influence, ultimately your world takes on a different complexion.
When you are too busy trying to outshine others, you miss out on your own inner magnificence. Stagnation is based on regret, drains your energy and is a reminder of what once could have been, but never was. When you declutter your mental space, just like clearing out your physical space, you begin to heal and connect with the higher forces. The soul breathes in the pauses between your thoughts.
Positivity is your weed killer.
‘Without you, I don’t think what my life would be,
in a corner, without you, to hide, I would flee.
when you’re gone, the world is always just grey,
to see dawn without you, I never would pray’
love and light,
