Welcome the problems of life

Life is about learning, growing, exploring and loving. In this process, there are moments where you encounter problems, hardships, difficulties, pain and suffering. You are not alone! Everybody has faced these. This is as much a necessary part of life as the good times where you are happy, joyous and blissful. 

It is when we have these so-called 'negative' experiences that we are able to put our own life in perspective. Mostly people reflect only after something 'bad' happens to them. This is a normal thing. God has His ways of reminding us about the Big Picture. We are here to grow, learn, explore and love. On the way, we all enter into attachments of some kind or the other. Be it to material things, people, ideas, habits, etc. But attachment, though a very normal thing, can be limiting to our own growth and happiness. 

God reminds us that true happiness lies in accepting that all Earthly things are temporary and are to be enjoyed as such. While we are here, we must love and respect one another as fellow Children of God, who are all a permanent resident of the Spiritual Realm as we are, but here on Earth they are as temporary as us. Someday when we all return to our True Home we will sit back and laugh at all the things that we took so seriously while on Earth. We will sit together and see how we faced challenges, grew from hardships, explored the various things that the material plane offers, learned from the experiences that we had on Earth and also how we loved one another. 

Many people who have had near-death experiences have stated that after the transition is made back to our True Home, the being of light at the end of the tunnel is only interested in two things - what did you learn about love? and How did you use the gifts I gave you to help the World? So, reflect on this for a while and do not worry about the problems you are facing. While we are on Earth everybody faces problems. These are meant to learn valuable spiritual lessons from. Every living thing on Earth (without exception) will someday eventually 'die' or make the transition back into the True Home, so do not worry! It is a natural part of life. It is only the uncertainty that we are afraid of. But believe me, you have experienced the transition many time before in previous incarnations. There is just a veil of amnesia that is surrounding you. 

When we return Home, we will look at our Earth lives like a movie that we starred in and use the lessons learnt to further our spiritual evolution.

Brick by Brick, My Citizens

The Roman Emperor Hadrian once said while building the Roman Empire, "Brick by brick my citizens, brick by brick."

What does that mean?

With the monumental task of building the Roman Empire, one can be sure that Hadrian offered those words to the roman citizens as a way of telling them not to focus too much on the big picture but rather look at it in a way that it can be accomplished and that would be simply brick by brick. One can imagine that the size of the task would be large enough to make most say, "No way, it cannot be done!"
