Reconnecting With You

The best approach to reconnect with our soul and have inner peace in the chaos of today is to cut out distractions. When we are focused merely on the physical world, we have all types of distractions that steer us away from our inner guidance, and inner peace.

We must learn to be of the world but not let people conform us to their beliefs and expectations. The world can be a noisy place if we’re paying attention to everything and everyone but ourselves. The problem begins when we get too focused on this external reality and forget our true purpose which is our spiritual evolution.

When we focus too much on the external, we get distracted from our beliefs and expectations which ultimately defines who we are. Then we allow the world to conform us to their ideal of normalcy or reality.

Without realizing our change of perception, we allow people to change our beliefs and expectations to thoughts of pessimism, bitterness, and vulnerability, and then we call these thoughts reality. We also allow people to tell us what we can or cannot do, and we focus so much on their perspective that we forget our own power.

Words are powerful and we’re consistently hearing words every day, and the more we hear them, the more we contemplate them, and the more we contemplate them, we create that reality.

We get accustomed to other beliefs and expectations which steers us away from our inner guidance, and in some cases it steers us away from healing. The universe is a creation by God and humanity and your life is a creation by your past thoughts, words and actions. What we see in our individual life is a reality created by ourselves and our environment, and whomever were a part of our lives.

The problem begins when we get sidetracked with information that doesn’t agree with our inner self and we allow this information to take root. We get distracted from our soul’s purpose and we allow this distraction to change us into someone we’re not.

We need to accept everyone’s beliefs and expectations while not allowing them to steer us off course and away from our destiny. We should eliminate all beliefs and expectations that don’t agree with our higher self, and acknowledge the beliefs and expectations which are aligned with our source and creator God.

The best approach to reconnecting with you is to spend time every day without any distractions and focus on you and God. Five, ten or fifteen minutes may be enough to give you inner peace and focus while not allowing the world to change you into someone you’re not.

It’s Only an Opinion

Everyone you meet has a different opinion of you, so don’t pay too much attention to their negative remarks. It’s only an opinion, and opinion varies with individuals. It’s the wise ones who choose to see the best in you. Danny G.

Our Concept of God

What are your beliefs about God, the universe and the universal laws that govern humanity? Do you believe God is a vengeful God who punishes for his will to be done? A loving father who considers himself a spirit of love, compassion, and union wouldn’t call himself vengeful. Nor would he want us to create enormous pressure on ourselves with an unending demand to be perfect.

Some of us believe God is never satisfied with our current progress or life. We create a reality in our mind about the concept of God, which contradicts everything he is. What kind of situations or people would you attract considering beliefs ultimately create our reality?

God loves you as you are, because he created you as you are and he knew every mistake you would make in this lifetime. You don’t have to achieve perfection in order to have his blessings and approval, as we are all struggling with something.

Most of our beliefs stem from our earliest ancestors, and great teachers thousands of years ago. They’re great teachers, and they always will be, however, is the reality they faced over two thousand years ago our reality today?

I’m not denying the fact that the teachings are still insightful today and they can still be used to gain wisdom and improve our everyday living. The problem begins when we base everything on yesterday, and we don’t consider the fact that we have as many great teachers today as our earliest ancestors. Let’s accept the world is always changing and improving and that the great teachers of today are just as good as our earliest ancestors.

We also tell ourselves God must be feared, and we need this fear to coerce us into right doing. How about doing right because we want to improve our lives and improve humanity? We can do right because we know actions have consequences and we care about our well-being and the well-being of others. We can do right because we love God, and we know he has our best interest at heart, not because we fear God or the devil. We tell ourselves, if we die in sin, we must endure hell. God wouldn’t create you as you are and expect nothing but perfection.

If you choose to see God as he truly is, you will be motivated by love and not fear. You will be motivated because it’s the best choice, and not because of your fear of punishment or disapproval.

Contemplation is Key

Let’s not walk aimlessly down a path, for in 20 years from now, we will say I’ve accomplished nothing and my life feels meaningless. Let’s contemplate our actions and follow our intuition, so that in 20 years from now we can say I’ve completed my mission, and now let’s work on another one! Danny G.

Acceptance

Why do we prejudge an individual based on outward appearance? We observe someone who is socially awkward or unique in one way or a homeless man, and immediately we prejudge them without even recognizing we do so. We think we know who they are with a quick observation or conversation. Can we truly know someone based on first impressions?

Can you determine the history of an individual based on first impressions? Can you determine an individual’s problems and insecurities based on first impressions? Can you determine arrogance by simply observing, or can you read between the lines and figure out shyness?

Some of us are intuitive and better at reading people or situations, however, we cannot know someone from a simple observation or conversation. If you knew the story behind the demeanour, or attitude, would you still judge?

In other words, would you mock or insult an individual’s awkwardness, if you knew he had traumatic brain damage or a serious brain disease? Would you mock or insult an individual because of his shuffling walk if you knew he suffered from a serious debilitating condition?

Most people wouldn’t be so cruel if they understood the origin of the problem and the traumatic condition. That is called compassion. The reason you understand and feel compassion towards your loved ones, is because you know their story. Everyone else has a story, you’re simply looking at the surface and not at the root of the identity.

Let’s say you had a loved one who had become bitter and resentful towards others, however, you understood him and witnessed his caring personality. You knew his demeanour was the result of being severely mistreated and you knew he had all types of tribulations in his life. Would you still see him as a good-hearted individual, because you understand the reason for his demeanour? Think of a bystander who doesn’t know him personally, but recognizes his bitter personality. Can we agree that most bystanders under these circumstances would prejudge?

Every person you meet has a reason for who they are today. We may not understand them, but if we can understand our loved ones, we can make an effort to understand every other person as well. Using our past or challenges to be bitter or cruel shouldn’t be an excuse, however, we should acknowledge the fact that some people aren’t as fortunate as us.

We look at others and contemplate in our minds whether we should give them any of our time. If our favourite musician or favourite actor was in front of us, we’d give them our undivided attention. What if a homeless man was standing before us? Who needs acceptance and appreciation more than the other, the well-known musician or the homeless man?

We tell ourselves, the homeless man probably made some poor choices, so that gives us a reason to ignore them or be arrogant with them. Is there a wealthy man in the world who is perfect with no flaws?

Everyone is struggling with something, for some people it’s paying their bills on times, for others, it’s greed and deception. Is one weakness greater than the other? We’re all in the game of life trying to figure things out. Some of us are on the streets trying to find a job while others have the most prestigious jobs, but got there through deceiving people.

Let’s not prejudge others by putting ourselves on a pedestal of better or worse. Is life a competition? As long as life is a competition, there will always be a loser, hence there will always be someone left behind.

We are all one and we all come from the same source, which created the universe. Whatever you do for one person, you just helped everyone who is connected to that individual, as we are all interconnected in one way or another.

Let’s remove the labels and remember the most recognized scripture, “Love your brothers and sisters as you love yourself.” A person shouldn’t receive special treatment because of his or her appearance or wealth. If they get special treatment, it should be because they are good-hearted people. Anything else is not recognizing what truly matters in life.

Rather than reacting to our preconceived notions, let’s create a world where acceptance is determined by a person’s values, kind nature and needs, not physical attributes that are irrelevant to who we are.

Impress Them the Right Way

Why do we so desperately want to impress others through money, recognition, or power? Why not impress others by being a good-hearted and happy person? Because happiness, and compassion is much more important than money, recognition or power. Danny G.

Life Requires Experience

Life requires experience and challenges to help us to grow as individuals and for the expansion of the universe. All individual growth is ultimately for everyone on this planet as we are all interconnected in one way or another. So many people fight against this simple notion asking themselves why they must face challenges and adversities.

When events and circumstances don’t unfold in our favour, we begin to hate or even despise our challenges rather than understand them for what they are. These obstacles may be uncomfortable, but if we simply pull through, they become building blocks and opportunities for growth and expansion.

We should acknowledge the very process that allows us to delve deeper into our spiritual evolution and the evolution of humanity. We cannot grow if we’re already standing in a state of completion or perfection. Why do we try so hard to achieve perfection rather than enjoy the journey?

The world is an experience and a creation by every individual on this planet. Life requires contrast and experience and even the uncomfortable events and circumstances create desire, uniqueness and ultimately a journey.

Choices and evolution cannot exist without contrast and challenges. In this time space reality nothing remains static and everything points us towards our evolution and the evolution of humanity.

Completion and perfection doesn’t require experience, learning or remembering. This may be why every single time we have life figured out, something happens to help us to delve deeper into our evolution.

Every time we achieve a goal or dream, we have a new endeavour to pursue. Because life requires experience, learning and remembering and it’s never completed as we are always on a march to a greater self and humanity.

The goal shouldn’t be to avoid challenges and adversities, it should be to avoid complacency and to focus on expansion for ourselves and the universe. Let’s stop dreading our adversities and challenges and see them for what they are, a stepping stone to a greater life and universe.

Creating Positive Change

Writing for entertainment is great, but writing for entertainment while imparting a message that people can take in their own life, for growth and joy, is even better. That’s how we change the world one step at a time and it is done through any means of communications! Danny G.

True Compassion and Solution

What is true compassion? Compassion isn’t merely sympathizing with someone. It’s not saying I feel really awful because of everything you’re going through, and I can’t imagine going through something such as this. No solution can occur with such statements.

Most people sincerely want to help and when they can’t conjure a solution, this ends up being their response. Having someone give sound advice can be therapeutic, and letting out our frustrations can be therapeutic as well. However, can you think of a solution when you’re focused only on the problem? Can you even think of a solution if you focus on all the reasons a dream cannot be achieved?

Sometimes we relate a crying shoulder to being more compassionate, and I believe it can be beneficial at times. Being sympathetic by listening and giving sound advice is beneficial. However, being a constant crying shoulder and nodding in agreement to thoughts of pessimism will not bring about a solution. Saying there’s nothing we can do about the dilemma, and saying it’s just reality, isn’t accurate considering the progress and evolution of our species.

Besides, what is reality? Reality is always changing-our reality is different today then it was 5 or 10 years ago, and it’s always changing according to our beliefs, expectations, and predominant thoughts.

We focus so much on the current reality that we forget our own power. We negate the most powerful energy “God” that lives inside us. Why don’t we believe this source can solve our everyday adversities and challenges?

Let’s take Morris Goodman’s story for an example. He was told by medical professionals after a plane crash that he was completely paralyzed from head to toe. All he was able to do was blink his eyes. The doctors told him he would remain paralyzed for the rest of his life. Through the power of faith, visualization and prayer he walked out of that hospital 8 months later on his own two feet. I believe he walked out because of one predominant belief, he believed all things are possible.

Whether you’re dealing with a health issue, debt, or any other kind of trouble, just know If Morris prospered despite the seemingly little odds, so can you in whatever endeavour you embark. Overall, the world is always improving and expanding and we have the ultimate say in whatever comes next.

We thought electricity was impossible, yet today our lives revolve around it. We thought a vehicle powered by gasoline was impossible, and we’ve been driving them for over a century. We thought a plane was science fiction, and today we have planes that carry over 850 passengers. The experts also said the body was incapable of living 90 years. How many people live 90 years or more today?

Whatever dream you have, whether it’s to be healthy, wealthy, or making a difference in people’s lives, just know, what people say is impossible, is their perspective and reality, and not yours.

Reality changes when we redirect our thoughts to a new and improved outcome. Creating a new reality begins by focusing on creating our own story and happy ending. It’s focusing on the solution and the end product. No solution can occur when we complain or vent. Let’s take ownership and create our success and happiness!
