The Benefits Of Stillness

Spending time in isolation gives us much more free time to reflect, slow down, and return to ourselves and our loved ones. At times when production and wealth becomes the primary focus, the universe has a way of bringing us back to what matters most. What matters most is our relationship with ourselves, God, and our loved ones. 

We get lost in achieving more, accumulation, and at times this can be destructive to our behavior and our relationships with our loved ones. We don’t spend as much time unwinding, we’re constantly living under stress, and our work affects our family life. 

What happens when the world shuts down? We’re forced to spend time with ourselves, we begin to contemplate, and reflect. We have so much free time in our hands to fulfill our purpose. 

Some people will use this time unwisely and make poor choices, and they’ll end up worse than before. Some people will let fear consume them. Others will be bored and not know what to do with themselves, so they’ll end up partying, abusing drugs and alcohol. There will be those people who use this time constructively, and stretch their boundaries. They’ll use this time to grow as a person, to grow spiritually, and let go of negative habits or addictions. 

What else happens when the word shuts down? We learn to be by ourselves, and this can be very difficult and daunting to some people. It’s difficult for them because they never learned to be by themselves. Perhaps because when they are alone, memories come back to haunt them. Perhaps when they are alone, fear of the future comes back that scares them, or they know they don’t take anything seriously, and they’re just bumbling through life with no expectations. 

Maybe life is calling them to change. My question to you is what change do you want to have, and what impact do you want to make? Find balance even when this is all over. Find balance by cutting distractions, and not letting others steer you off course. 

There’s a fine line between listening to advice and listening to your inner guidance. Both are positive, but find what resonates with you. 

Don’t Assume

We categorize based on first impressions and assumptions made from appearance. Nobody knows what’s happening internally except the individual himself. We form all types of conclusions based on what we see, and what we perceive. How do we know what’s happening inside the mind and soul? Sometimes the strongest ones are the ones we overlook, and sometimes the most confident ones are the ones trying to hide something. Nobody is wrong, and everyone has their own barriers and journey. The only wrong approach is assuming we know. Danny G. 

Fear Not In A Fearful World

How to not let the fear of others become your own

I want to first emphasize that I’m not against the government and health officials and the health and safety practices to avoid the spread of disease. However, looking around me I see fear everywhere and I wanted to share my insights and philosophies on what brings me peace of mind and security during these difficult times. How do we not become fearful in a fearful world and most importantly when it affects the entire planet and our loved ones? 

I believe in following health and safety regulations and avoiding contamination by all means. The problem is our anxiety is skyrocketing from the chaos and diseases on this planet. I do believe there must be a strong focus on eliminating the spread, however, there’s a fine line between focusing on the solution or obsessing over the disease. 

We’ve heard the many spiritual masters of our time say what you focus on, you perpetuate, so the more people focus on this matter with fear and dread rather than the solution, they’re perpetuating the problem. 

It sounds easier said than done and for most it’s very difficult to do so, however practice and repetition is key. If someone can practice their skills and abilities enough to be a professional ball player or professional stock broker, one can practice not being fearful in a fearful or chaotic world.

If someone is mentally and spiritually strong, no matter what the adversity is, he should have the will and strength to overcome it. If someone is constantly stressed and he or she gets sick, is there much energy left to fight off the disease? 

Take someone who is optimistic, and he has faith that he will overcome, the journey may not be easy but at least he’s investing his energy towards wellness. Whatever you focus on you perpetuate, so perpetuate the right things. 

We only have so much energy during the day and if we focus all our energy on complaining, or our fears, then a little flu can appear much more painful than it really is. I don’t want to make light of the situation, I just want to empathize having inner peace in a fearful world is possible. Having peace despite the chaos is possible, and when you do have peace, you’re a much stronger influence to help others remain well or recover. 

So my question to you is, what influence do you want to be, and what thoughts do you want to entertain?

The Shield

I create my own shield by having unwavering faith, and courage. I create my own shield by not doubting or giving in to fear. I create my own shield by knowing the source within me, is always guiding me, protecting me, and conspiring on my behalf. Danny G. 

Having Courage and Faith

What is fear but a long perpetuating set of beliefs and expectations? What is fear but a sensation in your body? What is fear other than acting on doubt and uncertainty? Next time fear comes knocking at your door, have the courage and faith to declare your strength and resilience. Have the faith to stand as the palm tree that bends but never falls. It’s sturdy enough to withstand the strong winds and thrive. Danny G. 

The Gift Of Wisdom

Wisdom quiets the mind, reflects and contemplates. Wisdom doesn’t act on anger and it doesn’t give in to opposition. Wisdom knows everything will be provided at the ideal time to thrive, and it knows the universe conspires on its behalf for its unique purpose. Danny G. 

Seeking Inward Before Anything Else

Healing means focusing primarily on healthy thoughts and emotions

I believe conventional medicine is important and beneficial, however, the problem lies when we put all our faith on an outside system, we lose our power. We have no control over external matters, and when we rely solely on the system, we neglect the most important healing practice, which is seeking inward. 

Seeking inward means focusing on our inner guidance and wisdom. It’s seeking our spiritual journey above everything else, for when we are spiritually strong, we can tackle whatever comes our way. 

Spiritual strength means we know we have the insight, inspiration, and wisdom we need to overcome. It’s knowing the universal force that resides inside all of us created the universe, and is the universe, so there’s no task too difficult to overcome with this source. 

It’s also knowing whatever strength we need is through declaring it into being, and knowing our power. Acknowledging we are spiritual beings is the first part, the second part is knowing how to use our power to our advantage. 

It’s being aware of our source and knowing how to apply its laws. Think about what you want, speak about it, and then when the inspiration calls you, take the step. Create your own inspiration for what you desire. Create your own strength when you’re lacking. Focus on it so much that it becomes your reality and it resonates with the core of your being. Declare what’s rightfully yours. You can talk your way into a sour mood or anxiety, so you can talk your way into feeling strong, healthy, and vibrant. 

When the step presents itself as a baby step or a leap, if you feel peace about it, move forward. I believe God speaks to us through a feeling of ease or uneasiness. If you feel that uneasiness in your gut that will not leave, it usually means it’s not the ideal path or you’re simply not ready. 

Find that feeling of peace, that is essentially who we are through the divine source we are, then move forward knowing the ultimate provider is always within you, guiding you, and conspiring on your behalf.

Love and Joy in Your Heart

Living life truly fulfilled is knowing you’re being your best where you are, with what you have. You’re a unique soul bound to discover your authenticity and uniqueness. No path is wrong, as long as you pursue it whole heartedly with love and joy in your heart. Danny G. 

Experience As the Greatest Teacher

Experience combined with wisdom and an open mind is the greatest teacher, for that epiphany couldn’t have happened without the experience that brought you there. You had to have a spiritual awakening to know who you truly are, your depth and your reason for being. You had to have an epiphany to know your origin and the source that created you and is in you. The experience is never an accident, and if you listen to the experience and what it taught you, you would realize everything is orchestrated in divine order and timing. 

Get beyond the experience by seeking inward to know its purpose for being. For when you seek within and back away, you can see the experience with a new perspective. New perspectives create a new reality. 

Experience can either pull us back or move us forward. It all depends on our reaction to the experience, and if we choose to seek inward. Seeking inward means seeing the experience as the God or Goddess within you would see it. It’s realizing our higher self is always seeking growth, and when we embrace that, growth is inevitable. 

There is a God or Goddess inside you at all time wanting you to seek it, for it knows the ideal pathway for your life. This God or Goddess knows how to react to new experiences and challenges. It knows how to overcome and conquer, and it knows how to reach the mountain top. This God or Goddess can do anything you want, you just have to be in alignment with it. 

Being in alignment with it means you think like it, you speak like it, and you follow its inspired action steps. The only control you have is through thought, word, and action, and when you allow the divine to guide your every thought, word, and action, anything is possible. 

You probably heard the scripture “with God, all things are possible.” Realize this God lives inside you at all times providing you with the insight, inspiration, and wisdom you need for your unique journey, and experience. 

Recognize your depth, your strength, your wisdom through the God or Goddess you are, and don’t ever shrink back. Realize nothing is too difficult for the GREAT I AM!

The State Of Receivership

Allowing and receiving is being in a state of receivership. It’s knowing the desire is already yours, as you hold the vision in your mind and don’t waver. The only control we’ll ever have is through thought, word, and action. When these 3 things are in alignment with your desire, you are a match to whatever it is you’re attracting. 

Manifestation means you feel the emotions you will feel, when you hold it in the palm of your hands. It means you know if one person did it, so can you, or you can be the first one to achieve what was once deemed impossible. The ones who achieve the impossible say I don’t need proof, I can be the living example of breaking the limitations and thriving. I can serve as a testimony for anyone who needs that boost of faith and confirmation. 

We all come from the same spirit that creates worlds, so don’t underestimate yourself and what you’re capable of doing from the divine. We are all created from the divine, and there is a God or Goddess within everyone. When we realize this, we unleash our inner gifts for ourselves and the world.

Recognizing the God or Goddess within us is saying we have the spirit to conquer anything, to achieve anything, and to be anything we desire. Recognizing this spirit is the ultimate state of receivership. It’s knowing when you do the mental work, you’re in the process of creation. It’s knowing when you feel the emotions of joy, gratitude, and love, you’re manifesting the essence of your thoughts and emotions. It’s knowing when you’re imagining, you’re in the process of creation and transformation. 

You can be in the process of a negative creation or positive creation, so invest time being productive with your thoughts, your inner dialogue, and the words you speak. Follow the inspiration, and take the action steps. 

The pen is in your hands, know your power, and know with unwavering faith, you can reshape your destiny. Remember, the source remains with your every thought, word and action, so do your part and allow the universe to unleash its magic.
