SPIRITUAL BELIEFS IN TODAYS WORLD
I encourage everyone to develop some sort of SPIRITUAL BELIEFS-some ask me 'how' or in 'what'? THAT is YOUR CHOICE! I suggest people search out their OWN beliefs. One excellent website is beliefnet.com. You'll find ALL types of 'spiritual beliefs' listed there AND quality info on each one. Without something to 'believe in'-we ALL can panic when we hear the "Dow is DOWN", "Banks facing major problems", "homes foreclosing", and the list goes on and onnnn!
I think at age 20 we are wrapped in our love life, career and family. At 30 we tend to 'mellow out'-start to get serious about who we ARE and what we want to DO with our lives! Around age 40--we somehow seem to 'reflect' on life-and what it means, some lose family or go through a major crisis-maybe divorce after 20 years. At age 50? Well I do know this--you definitely 'mellow out' and get more serious about life, your job and your WORLD. If you are single (OR Married*)you begin to review your entire LIFE and what you've accomplished worthwhile. You also begin to reflect on the past-and become more aware of your shortcomings and tend to have a need or desire to change something in your life. You become 'aware' of the need to connect to 'something greater' and begin to dig into your spiritual beliefs or lack thereof-seeking spiritual insight. You begin to realize the true meaning of 'wisdom'-and seek to find it.
BUT it also can make you look back-reflect just on what ARE your priorities in LIFE? Why the heck are you HERE and what purpose does life hold for you now? Is there more to LIFE than just work and our everyday routine????
It doesn't matter what AGE you are-one day you WILL reflect on ONE THING--you have a PURPOSE in LIFE! It's not all about paying bills, working and family. Do you really have peace about yourself? What gives you JOY-fills you with peace in a crisis?
What wisdom have you gained from your life experiences-and just what the heck have you DONE with it? Do you have as much time to invest in your spiritual life as you do in watching television or listening to everyones negative talk about how 'bad things are'!???
Spiritual wisdom can come to the young yes; but USUALLY Spiritual wisdom comes with 'age'-living, learning through our mistakes, through the times we hurt and learning we all must 'live and learn' from life and whatever it brings.
The key is realizing that we ALL need something of substance to carry us through ANY problem in life. People call Readers every day about divorce, broken marriages and broken hearts, bad relationships, disappointment from losses of some sort-be it emotional, physical or financial isn't as important as how DO we "DEAL" with such things? Is Life always 'fair'? We all know this one and the answer. Things can change in our lives we never expect.
There are two kinds of people in this world--QUITTERS and SURVIVORS. Quitters give up easily-they get frustrated by every thing and it's almost as if they go 'looking' for bad luck-its' usually all they 'see'. Their viewpoint is distorted sometimes by pain or loss and they give up. On the other hand, there are SURVIVORS! Survivors go through some of the SAME EXACT THINGS as do "quitters'-but they fight back, don't give up, don't give in, they'll go another 'route', deal with things one day at a time-and realize there comes a time to leave worry at the doorstep and seek solace and peace! USUALLY they have some spiritual connection they turn to when they want to throw up their hands and scream "I QUIT!"
It's in that 'quiet moment' of meditation and/or 'prayers' we surrender our problems and admit we can't 'do it all', 'don't have any answers', 'think things look hopeless'-we need HELP! Be it GOD, or the ANGELS--someone out there DOES hear us ONLY when we ASK!
Usually in turmoil, we 'FORGET to ASK'-and try to do things 'our way'. Most of the time 'our way' doesn't work at all.
As the saying goes, "We're SPIRITUAL BEINGS having a HUMAN experience!" (*or something along those lines*) *S*!
Life can be so much easier when we just 'surrender' and let GO! It is NEVER easy to let go of 'pains, problems'--but 99% of what we 'worry about' NEVER HAPPENS! A great psychologist shared this and I find it is USUALLY true! Worry and fear BREEDS more fear.
Are you happy today in YOUR Life? Are you 'complete' in knowing what your TRUE purpose is and do you realize how SPECIAL you really are? Did you ever stop to think EVERYTHING happens to us in life for a REASON--and I DO mean everything!
Yes even job losses, career changes, physical sickness, relationship changes or a broken heart-they ALL serve a purpose or life lesson.
Sometimes it's simply to teach us not to depend on 'ourselves' alone.
If you have any issues that seem too painful to bear--stop for a moment and in the stillness of the night-ask Spirit to help you learn to trust more--of what...?
YOURSELF--and whatever Spirit wishes to share with you if you would just take the time to hear that 'still small voice' that teaches us all things and provides everything you will ever need in life.
It WILL come through everytime in ways
that will never fail to amaze you.
I will be on later tonight around 11:30 EST-

You ARE the reason I AM at KEEN!
