The front step seems insurmountable, as I’m marching patiently and steadfastly in the face of the storm. The wind is cold in blizzard fog, and I cannot see the mountain top. I pause and declare my victory while waiting in appreciation for what lies ahead. I wait until the path appears as the next logical step. As the wind comes surging through, I allow it to guide me to my destination, while I steadily gaze at the forefront, with no fear, only steadfast unwavering faith. Danny G.
Releasing and Letting Go
Letting go is releasing everything that is hindering us from personal growth and fulfillment. It’s releasing what’s no longer serving us, so we may walk steadfastly and unwaveringly to our dreams. When we let go, we allow ourselves to be in alignment with the divinity that we are, while allowing our lives to flourish and prosper to our divine mission. Danny G.
If You Let It
You’ve mastered this stage in your life. You’ve been steadfast, faithful, and happily content with what you currently have. It’s ok to move forward now, and to want it. For there is much more on the other side, if you allow the life force to surge through your veins. Inevitably, if you let it, God will lead you to your every desire. Danny G.
A Building Block
For every challenge we face, there’s a greater reward on the other side if we’re steadfast despite the storm. The reward appears when we persevere despite the adversity, and we smile at its intensity. Then our challenge becomes a building block for a brighter tomorrow. Danny G.
Breaking Free From the Spider’s Web (Poem)
Stuck in a spider’s web,
Surrounded by the sticky silk.
Though I push and strain away,
The sticky silk forcibly remains.
The world is in my forefront view.
Behind remains the sticky silk,
My arms and legs stuck on it.
Another pull, another strain,
I know the creator will come through,
Like always.
As I seek myself through his loving eyes,
There’s nothing I cannot do,
From this dwelling place of divine.
There’s always the forefront view,
And the next step will land me there,
Next to him,
To another world free from silk,
The enemies and monsters
Remain in the rear view web.
As I break free of the sticky web,
And pull through to the front again,
What was once a fear,
Is now a gift,
As I dwell,
With the monsters in my bed.
Fearless and laughing,
At the horror I gave them.
Today the price seems fair,
To discover myself
Through the despicable web.
Sometimes you lose yourself,
To find yourself once again.
An unending journey,
To fine tune our gifts.
Until our mission is complete,
And our destiny fulfilled.
Patience Where Wisdom lies (Poem)
Patience.
As it remains and escapes,
Through the process of trial and error,
Where wisdom lies.
An underestimating emotion,
We cannot stand.
Though uneasy at first,
Inner peace lies.
Patience.
Being steadfast and firm,
Though contradictions spies,
In a world of its own,
Of wisdom and lies.
Patience.
Though uneasy and flat,
Indecisive and black,
Contemplating time and elation,
Like a fiery trial.
Patience.
Though treacherous at first,
If we simply pull through,
Wisdom lies.
True Meaning of Unwavering Faith
What is unwavering faith? Is it never doubting? Is it never feeling fear? Is it always being steadfast in the face of adversity or opposition? We know that’s not the case, as there are many faithful individuals who achieved great things, yet they still felt fearful when they faced adversities or opposition.
Some of the greatest masters that lived on this planet felt doubt and fear, and they weren’t always steadfast, but they prospered in the end. They prospered because they persevered despite their doubts or fears and they didn’t let the doubts or fears consume them. They kept their vision in front of them and they kept on declaring their victory despite their uncertainties.
Courage or bravery is not the absence of doubts or fears, it’s persevering despite doubts, or fears. It’s affirming and speaking about the desired outcome despite everything pointing us in the opposite direction. It’s taking bold action steps regardless of the discomfort we feel.
We’re human beings and it’s completely normal to feel doubt and fear, the only time it becomes a problem is when we give in. If you feel doubtful, fearful, or insecure, and you give in by constantly speaking about your doubts, fears or insecurities, you lost the battle and you move towards whatever you’re thinking about or speaking about.
When you’re tempted to give in, affirm and speak the opposite of your negative thoughts and declare what you want to attract in your life. Speak the opposite of your negative feelings even if you don’t feel it at first, sooner or later you will begin to receive it in your being, hence, you will attract it in your life.
The law works to our advantage because if we continue to think and speak negatively, we will become depressed and we will feel inadequate. The law works as a reminder to get us back on course so we don’t live in fear or pessimism.
Can you imagine a world where people would get what they want despite them never believing in themselves and despite them being pessimistic and fearful about everything? Even if they get what they want, they wouldn’t be happy, and there would be no point in achieving anything. What good is there in achieving our goals and dreams, if we feel inadequate and ungrateful about our achievements, and life.
Every great teacher that ever lived will say the same, “the true definition of unwavering faith is not the absence of fears and doubts, it’s persevering and it’s focusing on the solution rather than the adversity or opposition.”
If you’re feeling fearful and you can’t shake it off, just know you haven’t lost the battle yet. Start focusing on your desired result, and keep on declaring your end result despite fears or doubts.
When you’re steadfast and you persevere despite fears or opposition, you’re one step closer to see your dream or goal come to fruition.
Being Steadfast
What happens when we walk into an exam room completely oblivious and not prepared with what will be on the exam? We feel anxious, we doubt ourselves, and we worry about not passing the exam, which is normal because we haven’t studied. Same goes with life, and the challenges we face on a daily basis along with the goals we set for ourselves. If we’re not prepared and ready to withstand the challenges of life, we risk failing, and giving up all together.
We’ve heard the saying, mindset changes everything, so if we’re completely oblivious on how to handle the obstacles on our path, how do we not waver? How can we believe in our well being or prosperity, if we’re not confident, and we have no reason to believe in ourselves? We all need wisdom in life, to make good choices and to become the greater version of ourselves. Without wisdom, we have no guidance or direction and it’s the circumstances and experiences in life that will decide for us.
Having the right mindset means focusing on our source and the solution. It can be health challenges, relationship challenges, career challenges or any future endeavours. If we don’t spend time refocusing our thoughts, or reflecting, we will be clueless when we face the trials of life. Then we end up failing, when a little bit of contemplation and refocusing would have changed the course.
Only when we focus on the solution and we prepare ourselves mentally by changing our thoughts, we are able to handle whatever comes our way. We can have all the knowledge in the world, but if we lack wisdom and we don’t know how to handle adversities and challenges, the knowledge won’t do any good.
We’ve heard the parable of the two men who built their houses, one of them built his house on a rock while the other one built his house on the sand. When the storm came in, the house on the rock was still standing while the house on the sand fell. The parable says we are to build our house on a rock to withstand the storm. This simply means being prepared and solid to withstand times of adversity, by immersing ourselves in the truths that govern humanity.
All we need is a few minutes every day devoted to our spiritual relationship with ourselves. Five, ten or fifteen minutes of meditation or refocusing allows us to face challenges in life with greater ease and wisdom, and the adversity isn’t as overwhelming.
When we are prepared for the exam, we’re confident, and successful. Same applies in life, and the everyday day challenges and the opportunities for growth. If we devote time for our wellness and growth, we will be confident and successful in life. The adversity will teach us valuable insight that will be beneficial for the next challenge or endeavour.
