People who let themself go, by either overeating, drugs or alcohol
and ignoring their grooming and basic health needs are voicing
anger toward themselves in a negative way. By repeating
this positive affirmation, a person begins to acknowledge the truth
that his or her life has a meaning and is beautiful.
Psychologists often say people who are
controlling were not given
enough choices as children. People who need to take
control
experience unnecessary stress. By letting go of control, a person
releases
the stress and weighty responsibilities. When a person unclenches
their hands
to let go of control, they are essentially opening up
their hands in a gesture
of trust to receive peace.
When a person lives in the past, they
are typically thinking about all the mistakes they made. Someone who lives in
the future is simply worrying about what may or may not happen. By living in
the moment, a human being can truly live in the truth that is now.
People think it's a sign of weakness to
ask for help. Some think they
have to be completely independent and self-sufficient
as part of living.
In the spiritual world, no one lives a life that is
independent from others.
The tapestry of life involves hundreds and thousands
of connections
between people. One person may smile at a stranger, who then
feels
inspired to donate money to a charity. The circle of giving and
sharing
continues on.
Instead of worrying about running out
of a time, an evolved soul knows that there is a time for everything. Each soul
has been given an allotted amount of time on earth. Each person has enough time
to fulfill his or her purpose in this life. By repeating this positive
affirmation, a stressed-out person will learn to relax and let his or her life
flow more easily.
Being wise is not the same thing as
being intelligent or witty. Some men and women are often called "wise old
souls," but anyone can become wise. Wise people aren't impetuous. They use
reason and rationality as well as their intuition to make choices each day.
People who use sound judgment often avoid heartache and pain that isn't
constructive as they walk on their paths.
Enlightened souls know that wise people
forgive themselves and others as well as give thanks for the blessings of this
life. People who get in the habit of being grateful for all that they have and
will have in the future are more likely to receive greater blessings in the
future. People who think they are unfortunate can start by being thankful for
the small things.
