I came across this excerpt from a new book "The Answer Is Simple... Love Yourself Live Your Spirit!", by Sonia Choquette which resonated strongly with me today... and it could be meaningful to you as well.
Having observed thousands and thousands of people from virtually every walk of life, with every advantage or disadvantage, I can confidently say that the only ones who genuinely succeed, who find peace and joy in their hearts and take great pleasure in their life experiences, have a different way of going about things. Rather than relying solely on their egos - their defended, insecure personalities and intellectual minds, suffering the assaults life renders them, they turn to a higher aspect of their nature, the Spirit within, and let this direct their lives.
Those who remember that we're Divine Spirit, and love and live in harmony with their Spirit, are the most successful individuals. People who love themselves and live their Spirit aren't necessarily subjected to any fewer challenges in life than those who rely solely on their egos and intellect to guide them. Life is life.
For all of us, just when we're comfortable, an entirely new set of challenges or circumstances arises to which we must adapt and often quickly.
No, loving and living the Spirit within doesn't prevent you from facing life's storms. It does, however, greatly assist you in navigating the treacherous waters as painlessly and creatively as possible. And it allows you to enjoy the journey while doing so.
The only problem is, so many of us are disconnected from our Spirit that we don't even know we have one to love, let alone live. If we're not aware of this part of us, we can't nurture it and trust it as the most essential component of our authentic self our guiding light so we remain stuck in a vicious cycle of fear and pain and miss out on the joy and creative wonder of living a Divine existence. This isn't what our Creator intended for us. The One Who made us meant for us to live creative lives filled with joy and inner peace, as Divine and holy beings.Excerpt from "The Answer Is Simple... Love Yourself Live Your Spirit!", Sonia Choquette... published by Hay House
Lately, I have not so much been disconnected from my Spirit... but distracted from aligning myself with my Spirit and allowing physical demands and challenges to consume my energy and thoughts.
As a consequence, I have focused more on challenges in my life rather than harmony and balance.
Coming across this excerpt today was exceedingly timely... reminding to me to reconnect with my Spirit... to trust it more than I have been lately and be guided by it.
Let me know what you think about the excerpt... click on the comment link below and share your thoughts. It's always good to hear from you!

It is a shame more people aren't aware of their spiritual self as it holds the key to so much in ones life. The simple technique of connecting with nature & being totally aware of the now is something I practice every day, that alone has changed my life dramatically. Most folk will say they just don't have the time & that is exactly why they need to take the time, there all caught up in the egoic world chasing the illusion of success & happiness which will never come without knowing yourself & the spirit.

Hi...
Thanks for your comment! It was good to hear your thoughts and reflections.
I agree, connecting with nature and living in the now has profound positive effects on our well-being. Sometimes people aren't ready to develop their spiritual awareness... it's a very personal journey and one I'm so grateful I embarked on many years ago!
Warmly
Jeanne

When you are in uncomfortable position and have got no money to go out from that point, you will need to take the personal loans. Just because that should aid you emphatically. I get small business loan every year and feel myself great just because of this.

If I were a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends, and indeed towards strangers as well.
