Faith

Happy Sunday,

How is everyone doing this fine Sunday afternoon? I do hope you are all doing well and staying safe. All is well here. I have been so immersed in watching Gaia TV that I haven’t taken any time to write. I mean, I have been taking tons of notes, I just haven’t taken time to blog, so I thought I better sit down and write and make this my priority for the day. I hate letting too many days escape me without being able to write. Oh, I did finish one of my diamond art paintings this week while watching some very uplifting Gaia and I started on a new cross-stitch project. It’s a stocking for my son Kevin. I’m super excited to get it done. I think at the rate I’m going, I should be able to finish it within a month. I am falling behind on my chores around the house though, but with Covid still in full swing, I’m not going anywhere. Home is where I’ll be staying for the time being, so the chores will eventually get completed. How about you guys? What have you been up to? How is everyone feeling? Keep those messages coming. You know I love hearing from you.

I wanted to share some of the amazing things I’ve learned, not only from watching spiritual films, but from some of the comments I’ve received. As I share my journey in life with you all, I’ve come to realize that the one thing that seems to be an underlying theme is faith. My faith. I have come to realize that, while it’s not an easy task, I must learn to have faith in myself and that it’s okay to believe I am capable of living my best life possible while at the same time, having faith in a higher power/being. I’ve had to readjust a belief system that was a huge part of my life, for most of my life. It’s only been over the last 6 years that I’ve woken up to being able to have an open mind and not having such a judgmental attitude that my belief was the only “true” way. You see, I was of the mind set that the only way to true happiness was being a robot for a religion. Funny though, I wasn’t aware of being under the complete control of this religion. I was born into it and through my life, I had to accept it without challenging it. While I was a girl at home, if I did challenge anything, I was beat by my step dad. My mother would slap me across the face if I dare questioned anything. Fear mongering at it’s finest. Believe it or you’ll be beat or slapped. Believe it or you will die at Armageddon by the hands of God and if he kills you, you have no chance of being in his memory. You are dead forever. I had to think a certain way, even if I didn’t fully understand it, I had to surrender my free thought process for what I was being told to think, feel and do.

In my journey over the last few years, I am slowly finding a new way of thinking. I suppose my thinking has always been this way, it was just suppressed. I’m now allowing my thoughts to be openly expressed. I am giving myself permission to have a voice, to have my own thoughts and I’m giving myself permission to feel and believe in my creator the way I find comfort in him. I am learning that it’s okay to have faith in myself and that actually, this is the way the Universe intended for us to live our lives. We were put here on this planet to learn, to feel and to find our way. We do have guidance by the Universe. We do have the means placed right in front of us, I just think sometimes we get off course and fall into fear of man, rather than having that complete and utter faith in our own abilities to be able to follow the path that we were meant to be on. Thus, we have free will. I know for me, I surrendered it to religion, rather than to my creator who has my best interest at heart.

Our challenges, or failures that we sometimes refer to them as, are simply the Universe putting us back on the path to where we need to go. The challenges in our life, I do believe are there to not make us doubt our faith, whatever that may look like, but to help us make us stronger. It’s us who allows the doubts to set in. Challenges are happening for us and not to us. Once we realize that and are able to completely wrap our minds around it, those challenges no longer will control us. Oh, they’ll still be there. They’ll still affect us, but I believe we’ll be able to embrace them and conquer them. We’ll be able to take away strength from those challenges. We’ll be able to move forward and realize our dreams and aspirations. All of our challenges are making way for us to have a more beautiful life. Remember, we were given this life because we are strong enough to live it. “Sometimes when you’re in a dark place you think you’ve been buried, but actually, you’ve been planted.”-Christine Caine.

During my binge watching of Gaia, there was one comment that stood out to me. “You will never attract something into your life that is not in harmony with you.”-Bob Proctor. This statement made me think to myself, “what faith do I have in me and in my ability to add value to this life?” I deserve to be happy. We all deserve to be happy. What are we going to do to get in harmony with attracting happiness? “Nobody can dance our dance. Nobody can sing our song and nobody can write our story.”-Gaia TV. Is our faith, is my faith so strong that it’s unshakable? Do we have faith in ourselves, do I have faith in myself? Do I trust in myself and in my dreams and especially in the things bigger then what I even think are possible? I don’t need to question the Universe, I just need to put it out there and fall in line with the path, with the signs that are there. We attract what we give to the Universe. If we give it failure, we attract failure. If we give it positive, then we will begin to attract that into our lives. Once we tell the Universe we are committed to creating our dream lives, doors will begin opening around us, we simply need to walk through them.

Life loves us. It’s time to start loving it back. Instead of focusing on the things I don’t have, I will be grateful for the things I do have. I will focus on success. I will put into practice seeing my life the way I want it to be, therefore, I will learn to have faith in myself. I will put faith in my dreams and I will have faith that I can turn every bad situation into something good. Success is having 95% clarity in who we are, in what we want and the things that make us happy. I need to focus and have faith in clear goals and write these goals down and be in harmony with them. One thing at a time. Clarity in what I want. Focus on what I want and concentration on completing the tasks I lay out for myself. The true secret to success is not only starting, but completing the tasks we put out for ourselves.

Everything comes from nothing. We need to create it. Whatever it is, we need to create it. We are the creator of our destiny. We just need to have faith that we can and we will accomplish whatever it is we are putting out to the Universe. The Law of Attraction. “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson. We are more than our mistakes. We are the laughter we bring into this world. We are goodness and acts of kindness. We are the work we put into our lives. We are beautiful, imperfect and ever evolving souls. There will be dark days that cloud our minds, and this will make it so easy to ruminate on our mistakes and imperfections, but, we need to turn those clouds into sunshine. We need to have faith that we are so much more than our past. We are better than our mistakes. How much wiser we are for making them and falling down, because we’ve learned that by having faith in ourselves, we were able to get up, brush the dust off and keep going. It’s always a good day when we learn something new. How much greater a day it is when we tap into our own inner magnificence and we are able to shine. “Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. Feed it faith. Feed it truth. Feed it with love.”-Buddha quotes.

Faith is a wonderful gift. It’s one of the keys to our success. I have been given this gift and now I must decide how I will use it. I know that I have one heck of a cheering squad out there and I have people that believe in me, sometimes more than I believe in myself. I thank you for that. I am beyond indebted to you for keeping me going and for cheering me on in reaching my goals. I love the reminders I receive, I might not like what I am hearing at the time, but I do mull over the things you say and I do take them to heart and make the changes in my life, or try to make the changes in my life for the positive. I have told the Universe what I need and what I want and now I will follow the signs that come my way. I have faith in myself, at least a little bit of faith. I’ll get there. How about you all? I know you have faith in me, so please continue sharing the faith you have in yourselves. I love hearing from you. Until next time, don’t forget, it’s a beautiful, magnificent life, so, we simply need to love it. Until next time, please, Love Life++
