Lessons
Topic: Spirituality
As we walk our life path, lessons are presented to us to help us become aware of Self. The lessons come in many forms, from opportunity knocking on our doors, to conflicts with others, to barriers to personal goals, to hiring or firing, to connections "out of the blue", and so on and so on.
When we ignore the lessons, when we avoid, when we fear, when we blame, the lessons come back in a new form either repeating the same situation or by becoming louder, stronger, more dramatic and/or traumatic.
Growth comes from listening to the lessons to digging deeper into Self and to living life without fears and blame.

Choices
Topic: Spirituality
Everything we do, we do by choice.
Our choices are influenced by "self" and by past experiences. Awareness of who we are and why we do things gives us personal power - helping us make choices that are "right", that are "true", and that are beneficial to us, either on a human level or on a spiritual level, as we walk our life paths.
When we look at our lives and analyze reocurring issues we need to look at the choices that we make and what is motivating us to make these choices - we are repeating the cycle for a reason. Why are we choosing to stay in the situation and why are we choosing not to leave it?
Sometimes this thought is so scarey that we choose not to even consider the question. Who wants to discover that there is some dark side of their self, some hidden agenda, some deep secret that has been buried for a long time? Who wants to create an emotional pain for themselves? Who? Someone who wants awareness, enlightenment, personal power, and to heal from the past in order to live a healthy life, making choices that are effective, healthy, and empowering.
Today is the day of opportunity - to challenge our thinking, our choices, our inner turmoils - a huge step to inner peace.

Dreams
Topic: Spirituality
One typically thinks of dreams as career levels or acquiring specific items - perhaps a dream is to own your own business or to buy a boat one day. These are great human dreams and we probably think that we will be content when we achieve these dreams - and perhaps we will.

True inner peace comes from following a path of "Self". Life's journey is a never-ending exploration of who one is as well as fulfilling the purposes of Self, and sharing the gifts that have been given with the rest of the world. As we struggle through life trying to achieve our human dreams we often battle with our true Self and who we are, struggling to walk our path with one foot on and one foot off.

"Be true to yourself" is about inner peace. It is about dreaming of self-awareness and self-fulfillness and about taking steps along the path to achieve these dreams.

Who are you? Are you walking a path to be "you"? Are your dreams conflicting with "Self"? Is it time to rethink your human dreams, to reassess who you are and why you are here, to make changes in your life and head towards your inner peace??

Dream on.

Real life; real dreams; real you.

Morning Reflection
Morning reflection provides an opportunity to focus on "self", on goals, on one's life path, beginning the day with direction and purpose. Morning, whether that is at 5 AM or 10, or even 3:00 in the afternoon, is the beginning of the new day. It is the tomorrow to which you put things off; it is the new beginning of the rest of your life; it is the summary of yesterdays and the opening of your tomorrows. Morning reflection is a time to bring your positive thoughts to the forefront and to know how you will make a difference in the day. Debbie, www.lifeunfolding.ca
