Keep Dreaming - Keep Believing

We all have times when we feel like life has just gotten the best of us. And perhaps at times it has.  When we want to give up, give in or just plain quit.  Whether we battle depression, lost, grief, weight, carrying the burdens of others, being a care giver, a single parent, going through relationship problems, divorce, lost of jobs, finances, health problems, heartache, heart break, quilt, each can give  us anxiety, lack of sleep, a lost of desire.  We could go on and on with the problems that rob us daily of our joy, sense of peace, our commitment to self.  Keeping us stuck, and forgetting to believe that no problem is bigger or wiser than spirit is. That if God is for us, who or what could be against us.

Where are you right now in your thinking, right this moment in time, what is it that you truly believe in, what do you believe about yourself,or believe to be the truth of your circumstance? Are you a survivor? Has life tested you at any point in your life, and have you risen above the circumstances?  If not, why?  If so how?

Think deeply and carefully about that time, that one time when you thought life took your hope away.  When you thought you would never make it or be the same ever again.  Examine that image, see it, and own it.  Now step away from the vision in your mind, take a very long deep breath, exhale slowly and remember, this,  that time has passed away, and only the memory of how you survived it, how you rose to the challenge of it and how you conqueor it remains.  It remains as a vital part of your celluar memory to call upon it once again to remind you of your character, your strength, your will to survive, allowing you to become creative once again  in your thinking.

Tough times, challenging times equal creativity, productivity, and will power.  How strong is your will power?  How much muscle is there to lift yourself up above the chatter of your own inner voice that says you are beaten down?  Is it really still in anybody’s mind in this day and age that we can no longer rise up to any given circumstance and not win?  Not become, better from it, stronger, smarter, wiser in spirit?   That any trial cannot be won with a little or a lot of faith, hope, love, and sheer determination?  You tell me, what is that one thing, that very one thing that always will beat you, beat you up, and rob you of your faith, your love, and your very will to carry on with your dreams?  Where is it written that we are only entitled to one dream, one chance, and one love?  Certainly it is not in any book of life from spirit.  With spirit we are ever learning, ever co-creating, ever surviving, and ever believing in our dreams and seeing them to reality.   Any thought pattern other than this is not from spirit, but from our own lack of will.  Spirit is eternal always believing the best in us, about us, reminding us of our hope and our true identity in love.   We are not alone on this journey of life.  We truly, truly are one with God.  Co- creating, co- existing.

I really do not know anyone who has lived a life free from sorrow, pain, uncertainty.  But I do know many souls who have lived with the hope and belief that God does have a plan for us, a plan to help us, not to harm us, a plan to give us hope and a future.  It is this absolute truth that fuels our soul and gives the soul its reason to carry on.

I do not remember being promised an easy, carefree life at all times, I   remember reading that in this life you will have tribulation, but I also remember being promised that God would never leave me alone.

 With God all things are possible to those who believe they are. Where do you stand, what are your beliefs when life takes a wrong turn?  What gets you through the tough times? 
 Our desire to succeed to get up and keep going is real; it is still burning within our soul, asking us to continue to find solutions, to find love.
So here and now, get up – get going – believe in yourself – make your life count.

Because Your Life Does Count, your life matters, your place on earth does have a heavenly meaning. 

So reach up and find your star, you know, the one with your name on it and breathe new life into your dreams once again.

Sincerely yours,
