                                                ARE WE GUILTY OF LOSING OUR SOULS?

As we climb the ladder of “success” I am reminded of Mark 8:36 King James Version (KJV): “For what shall it profit a man (woman), if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his/her own soul?” Were we motivated to help humanity for the greater good?  How well did we honor our spirit/soul while making unreasonable demands from others? How well have we, spiritually, been served with our past motives and actions to get ahead?  Did we experience joy, love and magic while accomplishing our goals?  Were we excited that we helped our brothers and sisters while we were reaching for the stars? These are just a few thought-provoking ideas that ought to be examined from time to time so we can align and/or re-align ourselves in our creation of love, healing and compassion.

Yes, this planet is full of all the things we need to live a full, prosperous and abundant life. There is no need to eliminate anyone who we perceive is blocking our way to “success.”  We all can share in God’s abundance – He laid the foundation for us before we were created.  All that is required of us is to give gratitude, thankfulness, and have faith. Trust and believe there’s no lack whatsoever of whatever we need.  There is so much abundance for everyone.

We can take a moment from our busy schedule to open our eyes to see and enjoy the majesty of the Creator’s handiwork.  We can watch the rising sun and appreciate its warmth that helps the crops to grow to bring food to our tables. We can watch the moon and stars as they illuminate the sky and are reminded of the olden days when our fore parents use these as tools to guide them on their journey. We can be still and align ourselves with Mother Earth and thank her for nourishing and nurturing us. We can watch the gentle flow of the river as it meanders over the rocks and stones in its pathway. We can be thankful and grateful for all the beauty and magic that are the Creator’s gift to us. We can acknowledge and be grateful for all the amazing blessings in our lives, our families, our friends, our neighbors and our community. We, as creators, can manifest beauty and magic in our lives.

When we are filled with that inner peace we allow ourselves and each other to “BE” and we let love and grace shine from our inner self to our outer self. We can affirm we have gain the whole world and have not lost our soul. Life can be beautiful when we allow ourselves to believe and work the magic.
