PEACE IN THE MIDST OF WAR AND EVIL - Remembering 911

By
In Honor of 9/11, Light Beams at Manhattan

In a world of shared history, the echoes of 9/11 resonate as a poignant reminder of modern-day tragedies, the fragility of life and the enduring spirit of peace. As we revisit the solemn assault of September 9, 2001, when New York City (and the world) was forever changed, let us not merely dwell on the darkness of the hijacked twin towers, but actively cultivate the light within ourselves—the unwavering beacon of peace.

In a society tainted by the shadows of evil, we hold the power to safeguard our hearts and minds. The key is to deliberately and unapologetically invite peace within. With that, I encourage you to consider these transformative steps:

  1. Meditate on the Breath of Life:

    Dedicate five minutes each morning to appreciate your breath and breathe intentionally. Inhale the essence of existence, exhale the burdens. Let this be your daily meditation be a ritual of self-discovery and grounding. Before you speak, breathe.


  2. Prayer and Reflection:

    Engage in heartfelt prayers, reflecting on the goodness that persists in your life and resonates across the globe. With gratitude, find solace and strength in the divine.


  3. Embrace Forgiveness:

    Grant mercy and clemency generously, both to yourself and others. Release the shackles of resentment and the harrowing of the spirit. It will allow you to soar freely.


  4. Attitude of Gratitude:

    Cultivate an attitude of thankfulness. Acknowledge and appreciate every facet of your life. Everything contribute to the colourful and varied pattern of your journey.


  5. Radiate Joy Through Smiles:

    Smile unabashedly—without fear or embarrassment—and do it frequently. Whether a natural inclination or a practiced art, let your smiles radiate positivity, uplifting yourself and those around you. Smile.


  6. Elevate Your Soul Through Song:

    Sing with abandon—a complete lack of inhibition or restraint— whenever the opportunity arises. Inhibition is that feeling that causes us to become acutely self-conscious. It freezes us up and make us act unnatural, tense and fearful. The melody of your voice has the power to evoke joy and stir the feel-good endorphins within.


  7. Extend a Helping Hand:

    Give generously to those in need and less fortunate. Every small act of kindness, produces profound joy in the giver and receiver and perpetuate selflessness. Always give what you can, whenever you can, wherever you are.


  8. Embrace Humility:

    Keep a low profile and minimize bragging. True strength lies in humility, and your actions will speak louder than words.


  9. Transform Pain into Power:

    Most importantly, harness the lessons from pain, heartaches, regrets, disappointments, and failures. Instead of succumbing to bitterness, let these experiences fortify you—emerge wiser, bolder, and stronger. In other words, use your experiences to get stronger, rather than allowing them to make you bitter

In honoring the those touched by the tragedy of 9/11, living and departed, may peace find its dwelling within. May the peace within, extend without to our shared existence, fostering harmony on earth.

Until our paths converge again, be blessed, be bold, be strong—above all, be authentically YOU! Your thoughts and reflections are not only welcome but encouraged. Share the light, and let it resonate in the hearts of others.

Journey of Self: Who Are You?

By
How do you begin to answer this question? Do you begin with your name, relations, occupation, achievements, life status or family lineage? How about sexual, spiritual or solar orientation? No? Then you must be your race, creed, nationality, or background? Right?... So, if none of those define you, tell me... do you really, truly and honestly know who you are? How might you begin to find out? As individuals we have so many intricacies and facets to our lives that if we have not consciously taken the time to find out who we are, we could be living a lie or someone else idea of who we are. I know, I know...I can hear the protest loud and clear: "I know who I am." But really, do you? I have news for you. What you do and where you came from are NOT you!  That's right, it is an extension of who you are, but it certainly isn't you in its entirety. You were who you are, long before you learned how to walk, talk, read, or write. Long before your passed or cu...

How To Feel Better Instantly and Vibrate at a Higher Frequency In 2018

By
Title image  Improving your life requires you to change something about yourself—be it your mind, perspectives, attitude, bad habits, or circle. That said, a person unwilling to change won't grow or move forward in life or career. So let me begin by urging you, starting right now to stay open and flexible to change. A meaningful life is not just about your money, status, education, popularity, and beauty. Although all these have their place in life and society, they are not the full package. A life worth living is more about integrity, gratitude, compassion, and kindness. At the end of the day, these are the qualities that really matter—how we relate and connect with The Creator and His creations. So, let's look at how we can all vibrate at a higher frequency starting right now and every day hereafter. SPIRITUALLY "Every day, live in a way that honours who you are." —A.D.

The Keys to Better Interpersonal Relationships

By
The keys to better interpersonal relationship: a group of young people harmoniously working on a laptop, aggiestrong logo I think it is safe to say that we all want to experience great relationships—that's a given, right?... Be it at work, at school, at home, in the bedroom, or in the social arenas of life. This is something we all crave—better relationships on any level to a greater or lesser degree. Understanding of Humanity Having great relationships is the essence of our happiness and humanity. Why? Because we were not created to be alone. From the beginning of time, God saw and said that it was not good for man to be alone so He made a helpmate for him. Why then do we have so much trouble getting along with each other?  Why do we toy with each other’s feelings and emotions? Is it because we lack the understanding that, despite the fact, we are all humans, we are vastly different? That we don't think the same way.  That we act and react to different ...
