"There is no shame in not knowing. The shame lies in not asking. For to aim to know is a mindful experience that makes you grow . Learn a little each day to understand more each day. When you thought you really understand what life is all about and gained knowledge to help you grasp its meaning, you realize there is so much more to learn and so much more to understand. You realize you are simply an ordinary man seeking more knowledge, seeking more understanding. Grow in knowledge of God – He is at the heart of true understanding. And until you grow in and with Him, you will remain ignorant of many things."

"Whatever you think about, you bring about. By choosing your thoughts, you determine the quality of your Light. Let not junk thoughts dwell in your mind. Fall in love with your thoughts to find beauty and pleasantness and goodness all around you . Let them carry you down the same path your soul is directing you. Have a great mind – think only that which can be written legibly in your heart. Think in harmony with God. For as waves relentlessly seek the shore, good thoughts continually return to God like one perfect prayer."

"Heartbreak and sorrow are schools unto themselves. How you endure them teaches lessons of stretching or shrinking; lessons of faith and obedience, or lack of them. God does not allow you to suffer out of antipathy or indifference. He lets you suffer because He loves you. How long and how much – only He knows. Yield. For if you yield, He will not permit you to suffer one minute too long. If you rebel, He may have to reset the clock. Learn. Trust. It is when you accept life unquestioningly that He takes you out of the furnace and transforms your heartbreak into a source of good and joy and beauty and light. Perfect order strikes on time – His clock is never early nor late.” 

Have a blessed Sunday, everyone!

"It's tough to enjoy life when you don't like yourself. Tougher still, when you waste your time comparing yourself to others. Learn to accept yourself so you'll be at ease accepting and getting along with others. Excel at doing what your passion is and focus on perfecting it. Love your own progress and praise others on theirs. Be your own loyal friend. For if you are not, how are you to look for loyalty from others? When you walk with your heart towards your authentic self, you are walking away from ego and into God. And to be into Him is doing something nice for the one you love – YOU."

"Always find new beginnings. Start over every morning with every new sunrise. It's your chance to be different, a chance to become the better version of how you were yesterday. Walk forward with a positive outlook and trust that God has a plan that is far greater than what was left behind. Look out to the sun and be reminded how He loves you and how He wants you to fulfill your dreams by giving you a new day. Celebrate your heaven on earth – live life looking for Him that is all around you and make every moment a prayer."

"Losses be damned – you are here volunteering to grow. You cannot expect to grow if you are too afraid or unwilling to face challenges and take misses and losses. Make sense of them and decide to move ahead. It's not easy but you cannot stay long playing the role of a loser. Convince the universe that you are a winner and the universe will deliver. You are a winner because you have God. You don’t have to see or feel Him to know that He loves you enough to do what is good for you. He has a way of taking you through your losses; He turns things upside down."

Today's Food for Thought (June 28, 2017)

"There will be days when life breaks you down. Days when you feel your heart cleaving in, ripping you open. Nothing and no one can completely protect you from this reality. Hold on and put up – your heart is stronger than you realize. It is ripped open to shake you awake so you can see that you are worth so much more than you are settling for. For it is when everything is painful and your faith uncomfortably strained that God's presence in your life is strongest. Tell Him your pain and feel His purpose for you. The pain that breaks your heart opens a passage for you to grow and contain more love than before, more understanding than before, more peace than before."

"Be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Be willing to confront new and unfamiliar challenges. Be willing to wrestle with your calling blockers like pain and discouragement and childhood wounds. Let not fear hinder you from doing more and being more. For the more you focus on your fears, the less you focus on God. And the less focused you are on Him, the more you get stuck and resist to follow through your own calling. The more you ignore He leads, the farther you pull yourself away from experiencing the life He intends for you."

Today's Food for Thought (June 24, 2017)

Go into the world and spread your light. Go into the world not just for yourself but for others. When you link your journey to helping people, you will learn to value yourself. For every gesture of genuine compassion opens your heart and nourishes your soul – you do well and you do more. When you help another who is struggling and in need, you become the well-wishing instrument of God's love and the living expression of His kindness. He watches over you and notices you, and it is usually through another that He meets your needs. And the more you take the needs of another in your heart, the more you take your own heart to Him.

Today's Food for Thought (June 23, 2017)

Take constant, diligent ownership and stewardship over your soul. Set healthy boundaries that tell those around you what is and is not permissible. It is not a sin to say NO when saying NO is protecting yourself from those who are crossing your personal boundaries in harmful ways. Reflect God in your boundaries. He has given you clear property lines – lines of ownership and responsibility in managing your soul. He uses these lines to teach you to take responsibility for your own life and to accept others as being different yet still valuable. Stepping over the lines brings consequences; living inside them brings you to His blessings.

Lightning strikes the earth and thunder heralds the doom but the earth bears it all in silence, teaching you that life may be harsh to you but you shouldn't be so to life. Adversities and difficulties are not sufficient reasons for you to suffer defeat. Know that God's will is behind every event. At times, what you consider to be a disaster is simply His hand rearranging your life. Keep the faith and conquer. For to conquer an adversity is to push back a boundary line in order for you to push ahead and overcome.

Today's Food for Thought (June 21, 2017)

"Learn some and think some and play and work every day some. Move and sit; sit and move. Balance to keep yourself from falling. While there is always plenty to be worried and sad about, there is equally plenty to be happy and be at peace with. Look not at the world through your head, but throughyour heart and know God. His creative style ensures that something wonderful will offset something less than wonderful. And He wants you to leave some of the problems of the universe for Him to worry about."
