Smooth Sailing!

Mornin'

I have had smooth sailing in my life lately. With a combination of spiritual energy and a lull in some activities, I have managed to put together a string of awesome days. I realize the tough ones will come again so I am enjoying what I have in the moment. I work hard to have peace and harmony in my life. I'll be damned if I allow someone or something to get in my head long enough to steal what I work so hard for.

Getting to this juncture in my life was not an easy task(s). I was a slow learner but the important thing now is that I did finally learn from all the events that unfolded in my life. I believe that is all we are supposed to do in our lives. I believe the rate at which we learn from the events in our lives is wholly up to us. We do have control of our own destiny. People have different amounts of baggage that they have to work with. Some is more confounding than others. Again, the important thing I had to learn was to put down the shovel and stop digging a deeper hole. When that occurred, I was then able to change direction in my life and move on to things that empowered me.

It is important to remember that, although nice to have, things and popularity are not essential to a walk along a spiritual path. The important thing on our journey called life is to treat ourselves and others with respect and utilize the gifts from the Great Spirit. In utilizing our gifts, all the bases to living live correctly will be touched. Helping others and being honest and less selfish are good attributes as well. There are a slew of things we need to do to live a happy, productive, and fulfilled life. I found out that when I follow the voice within (which is my higher power working with me) then I cannot help but live appropriately and successfully.

I challenge all of you today to flash your beautiful smiles at someone who seems down today. Offer a helping hand to someone in need. You can also do something for someone without letting them know who performed the gesture. The important thing to remember is that helping others is a way to get out of ourselves so we can manage our tendency towards selfishness. It is easy to get caught up in self and lose sight of some of the most rewarding experiences in our lives. When you experience the joy helping someone brings, you will see the addictive nature of your actions. The natural high the Great Spirit provides you is better than any other you will experience in you life. Try it, I think you will like it.

Peace
