THIS WEEK SPECIAL TOPIC: "THE EGO"

This week, we shall focus on the 'EGO'.

It is the source of many people's insecurities, miseries and downfall. Sure, some celebrities might make it look 'cool' or 'hip' to have a big ego, but truth be told, nobody likes egotistic maniacs. NOBODY.

To kick it off, here's a short clip about ego.

A SIMPLE EQUATION TO LIVING A HAPPIER LIFE (Blog)


Want to live a Happier Life? Who doesn't ?! (Okay, maybe a few miserable people don't but it's their loss!)

Here's a simple equation that might help:


- Substract all the negative people who weigh you down, completely out of your life;

+ Spend additional time with the people who love & care for you (they are the ones that boost your confidence, support you in your ambitions, motivate you in your career path, keep you grounded & focused, give you sound realistic advice);

* Multiply your happiness by creating happiness for others through random acts of genoristy and good deeds (it does good to your soul, heart & mind);

/ Divide your time (as much equally proportional as possible) between your duties/responsibilities, your hobbies/passions and your 'Alone' time (for the sake of Meditation/Prayer/Reading).


= Less Stress, More Happiness, More Balance, Less Drama.


It's an overly simplified formula, of course. However, if applied & followed accordingly, you'll be able to do the things you love, while still doing the things that you need to do in order to survive, without neglecting the people who matter most in your life, and getting rid of the people who drag you down.


Thus, I firmly believe, is the Simple yet Straightforward Equation to Living a more Balanced & Happier Life.

BE TRUE, BE YOU




A common mistake many people do is compare themselves to others, that creates envy and jealousy, dark force energies which only suck up your light. It's entrenched in many cultures around the world, to get 'one up' on each other. In the end, people get caught up trying to out-do one another that they forget to do the most important thing: BE HAPPY BY BEING TRUE TO YOUR OWN SELF.

Never mind what so-and-so is wearing, who they're going out with, what they drive, where they live, etc.... it's all superficial, beneath the surface, without you knowing, that other person can seem happy but it's all just to mask their insecurities and lack of fulfillment in life.

Live YOUR Life, not somebody else's. Stop trying to be them, just be True.... BE YOU!


Much Love & Blessings.

THE COMFORT ZONE: A PIT STOP, NOT A DESTINATION.



I'd like to take a moment to discuss a trap for most people who are on the path towards their goals and dreams. I call it 'The Comfort Zone'.


To use imagery, picture the Comfort Zone like a Pit Stop on the Raceway of Life.  Like the F1 race cars, they just go in to change tires, re-fuel, get the engines/breaks checked and then they're back off on the race track.  Similarly, you shouldn't stay in the pit stop (i.e. the comfort zone) too long, doing so will only lead to the paralysis of your perseverance, i.e. a state of complacency, not going forward, just staying at the exact same spot you are.  Nobody who's ambitious and in their right mind, would and/or should be satisfied by doing nothing and going nowhere.  It goes against the purpose of their plans: Achieving them!

To reiterate and emphasize this even more, complacency (i.e. being idle too long) kills drive and creativity. Drive helps you Thrive... Creativity breeds Ingenuity - Together they enrich your Life. However, getting too comfortable in the comfort zone undermine creativity and drive, and will eventually jeopardize your chances of attaining your goals.

Here are a few tricks I've picked up and taught myself:
- Constantly remind myself of my plans, goals and dreams.
- Write them down, even post them up on a wall so I can seem them daily
- Force myself to do something outside of my own regular nature (of course, without it causing any harm to anybody else).

There are other tricks but the beauty of life is for you to LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST and Experience It YOUR Way.  Learning is part of Living, Learning helps you Grow and nurtures Spiritual Enlightenment as well as Intellectual Evolution. 

All that to say, take time to enjoy life, but don't take too much time sitting in the comfort zone doing nothing while others pass you by on the speedway of Life.  Re-fuel up, recharge your batteries, don't over analyze yourself or your actions and get back in the racetrack and keep going after your goals and dreams. 

From my soul to yours,
LOVE & BLESSINGS.

THE HEALING POWER OF MEDITATION




Meditation is key to providing balance and equilibrium in your life. Especially in our stressful days, running around, doing ten millions things, taking 15-30 mins (that's how long I usually take, but it's totally up to you) out of your day/week, to realign your mind with your soul with your heart with your spirit with the universe within and throughout you, you will feel more energized, revitalized and spiritualized.

It does boost your energy levels because you're actually taking time to replenish them.  Hence, the Healing Power of Meditation. If you want to practice Meditation, I can always teach. I've taught myself and I've taught some of my closest friends. I can only teach if you have patience, without it, you cannot attain the state of inner peace and silence needed.

From my soul to yours,
LOVE AND BLESSINGS.

LET THE HEALING BEGIN!

Today, I finally answer my higher calling: Healing Humanity with Faith and Spirituality, through Love and Intellectuality. ARE YOU READY?

Well, whether you are, or not, Let the Healing BEGIN.
Here We GO!!!

After so many years of Soul-Searching, dabbling in music, business, photography, blogging, and so many other things, it finally dawned on me what I'm really good at, a blessing I've always been grateful for: Helping People. And not just that, but Helping them Heal themselves, by putting things in perspective for them, making them see beyond the Pain of their wounds, and right into the Healing of their Hearts. It is definitely a God-given ability, which I want to fine-tune and put to good work, for the greater good of humanity.

So, I pray you will join me, as I embark on this new divinely-inspired mission, I do it out of Love, I do it because Humanity needs it, and I do it because God has guided me (and is still doing so) so that I may reach all of my brothers & sisters, and help them cope with all of life's agony.

One day at a time, but certainly, I will continue to Shine, and reach deep to people's hearts and bring forth light into their mind, uplift as many as I can by doing it one soul at a time... Reflect God's nature through mine, and just a caution I'm neither a new age messenger or nor another prophet, I'm just a man amongst men, equal to all, so please do not make false assumptions about me. All I hope to do, is Inspire and Uplift.

Are you with me? Well, even if you're not, I'm still Rolling and Soul-Shining, LET'S DO THISSSS!!! :)

For those of you who want to get involved, please help me help humanity by spreading the word, re-port my notes, blogs, forward them my website (http://www.GetYourSoulshineOn.com), my twitter (twitter.com/SoulshineInc). Any and all help will be infinitely appreciated, may God reward all of you and shower you with all His Blessings!
