Birth

Recently I read an article about dealing with selfishness.  Immediately I recalled to memory something one of my sisters once said to me while I was a young entrepreneur working tirelessly on taking over the world. My time was utterly consumed and I was so engrossed with building my empire that I had not for one moment given thought to one of the finest gifts that life offers. “Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses” was what my sister said. I remember smiling and simply replying, ‘ok.’

It was not until I decided to become a parent and I experienced the sweet smell and the soft touches of my newborn baby that I was able to appreciate my sister’s advise. For the first time in my life I was truly in love. Days before my baby’s arrival I had all the baby’s clothes washed.  The nursery was decorated and everything was in place to welcome my new family member. I prayed to God daily for a healthy child. I had been careful in maintaining a balanced diet, and an active schedule; in fact I was so active that my labor pains started in the boardroom at a real estate closing.

Mastering Anger

Have you ever given thought to the phrase “life is too short to hold grudges?”

 

Maybe you have experienced a certain person and/or situation that tests your patience to the last nerve. You may even find yourself harboring feelings of suspicion and mistrust of some individuals for no apparent reason, or you experience feelings of depression, fatigue, and anxiety.  Studies have proven that these feelings often contribute to the expression of anger and if not managed properly, that anger can transcend an overt hostile emotion. Anger when expressed can range from irritation to intense rage and can continue for years. Its presence is usually a call for help, such that the condition should be addressed.

The Gift of Charity

The Gift of Charity

Charity falls within the category of giving and receiving. As you become more charitable you will realize that the more you share yourself the more friends you will attract.   When children are young they are taught to share. This is the first exposure they are given towards the gift of being charitable.

The Gift of Friends

You are the only person who knows those who you consider to be your friends. Sometimes friends are termed as “good” friend, or “good good” friend. It is either you have a friend or you don’t.

Being Thankful For My Gifts

Sometimes my gift of freedom dictates that I toss my writer spirit aside and compel it to take its leave of absence. At such times I find myself drifting as if in a world that is foreign, stumbling into situations that are quite awkward, yet I try to function as normal as possible—knowing very well that, that which fulfills my soul is hard to find in any other person. It can only be found within me.

Unlocking The Door To Forgiveness

When you have suffered abuse—f orgiveness is one of the hardest steps to take, yet is the only way to acquire inner peace.

“Getting over IT” whatever “IT” may be is much easier said than done. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, memories of the unpleasant incident(s) continues to block you from moving forward. However, holding on to resentment of the abuser can cause you more suffering.  When you are able to forgive others who have wronged you, your life can be much healthier and happier.

Applying the knowledge that making mistakes is a part of being human will help you to forgive much easier.

There are offenders who are ignorant to what is morally correct. They have little or no regard for human dignity and may have caused great harm to humanity. However in order to preserve your greater good and gain supreme contentment in your life you must apply the knowledge that such people deserve your compassion and your forgiveness.

The practice of benevolence can bring about a great transformation in your life. It will help you to uncover the gift of happiness, kindness and the freedom from fear.

Being forgiving is not a sign of weakness. It is one of the virtues to unlocking the door to uncovering your greatness!
