Learn Your Lesson!

Have you heard the quote: ”Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.”? From the best I can tell, this quote most likely comes from the writer and philosopher George Santayana, and in it’s original form he said: ”Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Santayana attended Boston Latin School and Harvard College, where he studied under the philosophers William James and Josiah Royce. He later became a professor in philosophy at Harvard.

Santayana’s philosophy, in a nutshell teaches that ”History repeats itself!” Ancient philosophy teaches that life is a spiral that presents us with lessons and when we fail to learn the lesson life presents, then life has a way of bringing the lesson back around again and again, until we do get it. It may be in the same form or in a totally different form, but its purpose is always the same, it is to instruct, grow and develop us into all we are created for.

”What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” -Ecclesiates 1:9

When things in life are not working, then there is something for us to learn. Failure to learn has consequences and will cost us something. When something is not working in our life, then we need to take this as an indication that there are parts of our mind, body and spirit that need integration.

This requires that we take on our ego, because we are so much more than what we have, what we do or who people think we are. If we are paying attention then this life is trying to teach us something. When we get what it’s teaching us, then we are heading to an amazing place.

What is this life trying to teach you? How are you going to learn from your mistakes? When will you start making decisions to integrate your life? Where are you heading with your decision or indecision? Why are you waiting? Seize the now, learn your lesson and grow your life! You will be glad you did…

Everything You’re Looking For Outside Can Be Found Inside!

All You Need Is Inside! Sometimes I like to be in a group of people and at other times I like to be by myself. There have been times when I was all by myself and I wished that I was in a group of people. One of the things I am learning is that even when it seems as if I am all alone, I am really not. God has promised that He will never leave me or forsake me, but that He will always be right here within me.

Sometimes It’s Tough! Life can be hard, difficult and a challenge, but that does not mean God is absent. Just because we cannot feel His loving embrace does not mean that we are not wrapped up in it. This is why God has given us the amazing gift of faith – ”the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.”

The Sun Always Shines! There are times during the day and night when we cannot see the sun, yet we know it is there and will shine again tomorrow. God would never turn his look of love away from us, but He would allow us the option of making the choice about what we choose to focus on, which is an incredible indication of just how much God really does love us. There is never a prayer that we will pray that God does not answer. We may not get the response we are looking for, but at the proper time, we will for sure get a yes, no or wait.

”Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” -Deuteronomy 31:6

God is everywhere, but most especially in our heart, mind and soul. When our thoughts are not His thoughts, He speaks to us in a multitude of different ways to try to get our attention and redirect our thoughts, so that they might travel to the place of peace We were created for. His comfort is always one prayer of understanding away, if we will just pray and believe.

There is nowhere we can go to escape His wisdom and no place we can hide to get away form His power. He teaches us from the inside out how to live from the outside in. He Who is Love created us in love to receive love, share love and be love. When We live in the flow of His unconditional love, We are delivered from our fears, pains and any negativity that would attempt to rob us of our created purpose. We can’t do this thing called life by ourself and the good news is that we don’t have to, because God is within…

Your Problem Is The Problem!

In my conversations with people, one of the reoccurring themes seems to be a continual battle with problems, but when we actually start to try and break it down, most of the time the problem falls apart. This is because usually our problem is our problem.

Whenever a difficulty, challenge, frustration or disappointment comes our way, we tend to inflate it, empower it and enlarge it, so that we miss what it’s real purpose is.

A problem is like a warning light on the dash of your vehicle. It’s a warning that something needs to be paid attention to. If your check engine light comes on in your car, then it usually means you need to check the oil, fluids or air in the tires. Something somewhere is not working as it should and requires your attention to be fixed back to normal.

This is true in our life. When we have a problem, it is usually a warning light that we have drifted away from Spirit and are relying too much on the physical or the mental. Remember life is made up of physical, mental and spiritual. I find that most of the time, my ego has written a check that my life can’t cash and I am way out of balance.

Romans 5:3-5 says that we are to “Glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”

So, the big question: How Do We Fix This? And I am going to give you what I think is the easiest and quickest fix. Are your ready for it? Whatever problem you are facing, the easiest and quickest fix is to refocus on love. We were created by love and for love and when we are out of balance, we need to return to love.

The answers you are searching for, that you may not even be aware you are searching for??? The answers can be found in receiving and sharing love. I like to call this “the flow”. When we receive and share love, it creates a flow so the supernatural can flow into and through our life and this is what we were created for. Reconnection with out created purpose realigns our life and problems disappear.

The flow of love helps me to be honest with myself. It helps me to look within myself for the answers . The answers are found wherever there is a lack of love, forgiveness or acceptance. When love reveals these answers and I accept them, then I am lifted above my problem to a higher place and the wisdom and truth of our Creator guides and directs me to the perfect place of love where I find healing and wholeness.

Stop playing the blame game, look within yourself and discover the power of love and it’s amazing ability to set you free from problems. Accept the supernatural healing that comes from the flow of love into and through our lives. And enjoy the blessings that manifests, when you live at that perfect place of alignment where spirit, mind and body work to fulfill their created purpose.
