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!

MIND OVER MATTER


Once you understand how the Universe operates, you will begin to understand how you operate according to laws of the Universe. If you become aware and conscious of those laws, you gradually master your mind, and through your mind, you master your being. Hence, Mind Over Matter.

Simple concept, yes, but to apply it, that's a different issue altogether. Patience is indeed a Virtue, and through Virtue we can unlock all of our hidden 'higher' potentials.
Let your Soul Grow and your Spirit Glow.
Love & Blessings.

THE COURAGE

You've got to follow your passion. You've got to figure out what it is you love - who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.

YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

DON'T WASTE A MINUTE, GO FOR IT!

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late.

By : Marie Beynon Ray

In other words, what are you waiting for? Got a dream, got a goal? Take the first step towards it now, not in 1 hour or in 1 day or in 1 week, START NOW.

Life flies by super fast, don't let this moment escape you, get going this very instant and start building your dreams!

YOU GOT THISSSSS!!!

OWN YOUR HAPPINESS

This is a very simple notion but many people don't realize how important it is:

HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN AND YOU PROJECT IT OUTWARDS

If you cannot make yourself happy, than others won't be able to. Do not transfer that power unto somebody else, you OWN your Happiness. Others can ADD to your Happiness, that's okay, but the basis of your own happiness is something you hold within yourself.

Many people tend to think that their friends or families or partners have to make them happy. Nope, that's not their job, and do not give them that responsibility, otherwise it might push them away if you constantly rely on them to cheer you up. Find ways to cheer yourself up. Be grateful for all the wonderful little things in life, the simple things matter most.

You cannot be happy 100% of the time, it's normal to have bad days, but do not let them cloud over you too long or it could lead to self-sabotage... NOT A GOOD TRACK TO TAKE.

Message is: OWN YOUR HAPPINESS. You Have that Power, Do Not Give It Away.

As always,
YOU GOT THISSSS!!!

Love & Blessingz unto all.

DEFY YOUR DIFFICULTIES

"The more difficulties one has to encounter , within and without, the more
significant and the higher in inspiration his (or her) life will be."

- Horace Bushnell

In other words, don't take difficulties as a bad thing. Hardships do occur, they are a part of life, it is how you react to them, what you learn from them and how you apply what you've learned from those tough moments, that makes the difference between a pessimistic or an optimistic person.

I know it's easier said than done, however, know that the difficulty is in itself an opportunity to become more than what you currently are. Find the gem (i.e. lesson, wisdom, strength, will-power) hidden in the dirt (difficulty, obstacle, challenge, hardship).

And if you've gone through many a difficulties and STILL standing, and STILL patiently persevering towards your goals, than my friend, YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION to not only others, but to YOURSELF as well.

DEFY YOUR DIFFICULTIES, because ultimately, their outcome is what Defines You.

Whatever happens, always remember:

YOU GOT THISSSS!!!!

HARMONIOUS HAPPINESS

"The happiness of one's own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul; one must try to include, as necessary to one's own happiness, the happiness of others. "

- Paramahansa Yogananda

In other words, dont just tend to the happiness of your own heart, whenever possible, tend to the happiness of other people's hearts. The key though is to strike a balance between always teinding to others' happiness and your own.... or as i call it, striking Harmonious Happiness. Not neglecting yourself or others but finding the middle ground. You cant only always just make yourself happy and you can't please everybody either.

In short, make sure you're making your heart happy and, whenever possible, make other people hearts happy too.

YOU GOT THISSS!

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES


Mentally train yourself to be a bulldozer that breaks down barriers. Thrive on Challenges, see them as not as dream-killers, but rather Opportunities for Personal Development & Growth.

The key to success is not in never failing, but in learning from each time you did. Without consciously realizing it, you're paving the road to achieving your goals, gradually, one step at a time. All you must do is keep applying the knowledge you learned from past errors, turning mistakes into lessons, and perfecting your technique/approach/skill till finally, one day, you'll get it right, and on that day, you'll have hopefully attained your goal(s).

Don't put yourself down, Face the Barrier trying to break you down, and turn the tables around on it and BUST THOSE OBSTACLES DOWN!

YOU GOT THISSS!!!

EXCELLENCE


"We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."

- Aristotle

That being said, aim for excellence, don't put obstancles in your own way, the world already does that. Lacking confidence and/or self-esteem are obstacles most people confront. Stop the cycle, break out of it. Look at yourself in the mirror, tell yourself what your goal(s) is(are), and tell yourself that you won't let ANYBODY, not yourself either, get in the way. Tell yourself you CAN and WILL achieve your objectives, dreams and goals in life. Tell yourself you're NOT gonna let negativity or pessimism (whether from yourself or from anybody around you) stop you from pursuing your dreams. Breath LIGHT into your Soul and Ignite your Passion, your Drive and your Determination to succeed.

YOU GOT THIS!!!
