Spirit Ritual: How To Discover The True Nature Of Giving

I envision giving as a multifaceted activity.
First, understand that your innate universal spirit offers a catalyst for personal change and transformation.
This initial step is vital for moving forward with awareness and informs your ability to guide others.
(Note, reciprocity is a cornerstone of this experience; as we help ourselves we serve others.)
Next, helping others starts with providing the tools for transformation.
A divided spirit is porous, unhinged by the vicissitudes of mortality, and lacking the requisite faith to weather life’s inevitable storms.
There is no escaping human nature, only deep self-investigation and unflinching truth can inspire profound change.
It is during moments of intense reflection that we hear the universal voice calling us.
When shrouded in this truth we do not resist because we know, gaining sight beyond sight and wisdom beyond knowledge.
As our awareness blossoms, it reveals divine truth; the universal spirit is inside all of us, we are one.
Buttressed by this understanding, we now live with integrity.
It fuses the disparate pieces of our soul, we “get it.” The cosmic switch is thrown, and we know the one and only reality of spiritual love.
We manifest this truth by thought and deed and are compelled to spread our fortune. We walk with the spirit.
Once inspired by the cosmic force, we must help others.
This connection is strengthened by those we inspire, who then influence others to recognize their purpose.
Devotion epitomizes this process by creating a solid foundation for individual growth and the reaching of others, who are then encouraged to pass on the “good word,” so to speak.
Ultimately, a union of like-minded believers is created.
Take care,
Gary

Commitment and truth are your guides. Abide by them.
Let the video below be your starting point. 
 

Age Is No Excuse, Live Your Dreams Now!

Far too often, as time passes, and the hard knocks of real life take effect, our youthful enthusiasm fades.
Gone are the big dreams and life defining goals that charged our imagination.
We’ve become jaded, embittered, trapped in a life of security-based complacency.
The gravitational pull of social inertia has firmly taken hold, rendering us “average.”
It doesn’t have to be this way.
You have a choice.
But change isn’t easy.
One of the hardest things you will ever do is recapture the passion that set your spirit on fire.
Don’t be surprised if few share the thrill of your midlife second wind. You threaten their beliefs about aging and potential.
That’s okay. You’re older, wiser and way beyond needing approval.
It’s now time to focus on self-development and transforming your life.
These tips will put your efforts in context:
  • Enhance your emotional and physical well-being through mindfulness and regular exercise.
  • Write down your goals; know exactly what you want in life.
  • Create a blueprint for making your dreams a reality.
  • Eliminate self-destructive habits and negative people from your life.
  • Remain steadfast in your desire to realize your potential.
  • Relax and enjoy the process of creating a new life.
Age is your ally. You’re literally as young as you feel. So use your energy and wealth of experience to become the best you can be.
Banish from your mind popular notions that trumpet youthful success. These are big business marketing ploys, echoed by lazy underachievers.
Start today creating the life you want and deserve.
You’ve earned it!
Take care,
Gary

Feelin’ is your passport to unlimited potential.
Give it a listen, get inspired.

What Is The Best Solution For Personal Transformation?

(Work is dedicated to you, for being a true believer in the reality of personal transformation.)
Awake in the sunless morning.
Bare brown feet touch the cold
wood floor.
Hand-me-downs sit idle waiting
for heat and odor to give them form.
Once at work the frigid ground is
unforgiving.
Hands numbed beyond
life give a relentless effort.
Slowly the soil turns seasons to
centuries in a day too long.
Take Care,
Gary
