Truth Searching

While it is the time of year where the majority of people are exchanging gifts let us not forget about the people that are less well to do as we might be.Holidays bring together families that might come together as often on a regular basis.However,it is important to understand the deeper meaming of these holidays that we choose to celebrate.Many times we engage in rituals and traditions ,but arent aware of the origins and history associated with them.It is important to get in the habit of questioning things and searching for the truth to understand things on a deeper level.Everything has a point of origin and a source.When you have true knowledge of a thing or a holiday,then you will no longer be lead blidly by the actions of others who are ignorant and you will know what you are truly celebrating.Free your mind,search for truth and everything will fall into place.

The Art of Thinking

It is important and essential that reshape the way we think on a day to day basis.Our thoughts define our reality and determine the outcome before we even translates our thoughts into actions.We live in a society thatoperates off of fearfulness.Having enough money,worry about aging,,getting a job,finishing school,looking too heavy ,looking to thin etc are all examples and there are countless more.However ,we often equate genuine happiness with that which is outside of ourselves when in fact,the true essence of our inner peace resides in us.Thats right! We are often in constant pursuit of pleasure as we search endlessly for material wealth,high status and many other things.In this lifestyle,you will never be content because you will always be looking for the next thing to satisfy ourelves for a temporary amount of time.We become slaves to our emotions and feelings.We must be happy with ourselves first .We must love ourselves first.We must excercise control over ourselves and master our wordly weak pleasures and desires.We all have a beastly nature and a Godly nature,but success is given to those who tame there inner beast for the good of themself and others.We must be happy with who we naturally are and not be scared to think for ourselves.Many of our thoughts and impressions are generated by the tell-lie-vision,media and negative people.As a result, we have a distorted perception of reality.It is a process and each of us are not perfect,but we must make it a top priority to to know who we are so that we wont be strangers on our own flesh.

Your Natural Purpose

As we live our lives day to day,it is very pivotal that we do not forget that we have a natural God-given purpose here on earth.Everything in nature has a purpose.It was Socrates who said,"A Life Not Examining is a Life Not Worth Living."In other words ,whats the point in going about living your daily life if you dont know your purpose.You purpose is what will guide you and what you are accountable for when you transition to the next lifetime.When being on your purpose,it is only fitting that you will recieve nature's greatest reward.As you continuously discover yourself on more of a spiritual level,being on your purpose will bring you closer to God.Knowledge of self through knowing your purpose is like life's instructions as to what you are supposed to be doing.Many of us get caught up chasing the all un-mighty dollar bill that we forego our purpose.It is due to lack of our knowledge of purpose that numerous people arent happy and at peace from within.Instead,they find themselves stressed out and being a slave to money.As a society,we have not been taught not to look inside ourselves for our answers .Instead we have been given a more exoteric approach which means to look for an outside entity to come and do for us.I am not calling you lazy,however,if you have a question,all we have to do is to speak it out into the universe and the answers will find a way to us.When you are on your purpose like you are supposed to be you will be at peice with your calling in relation to the rest of the world .Your purpose can be many things such as ,singing,dancing ,serving others,emceeing,being an educator,cooking etc.It is your passion.Many people dont believe that they can financially sustain themselves on their passion alone.However,we must exercise faith and steadfastness,All we have to do is plan and then diligently follow the blueprint that we have laid for ourselfs and we will forever be protected by the almighty and our ancestors.Till next time,Im out!!!!.
