(Blog-Off II Entry) Grow in Spirit by Accepting Yourself and Accepting Responsibility for Yourself

Grow in Spirit by Accepting Yourself and Accepting Responsibility for Yourself

Too many personalities

Most of us are good by nature, but to become a better person is to grow, and grow in the right directions. We are all so human and make mistakes all the time. We have to many parts of us divided into personalities: one for work, home, husband, family, mother, and boss. We need to integrate those into one person; to be who we are and not to split ourselves into many different people.

We also need to LOVE deeper, and committedly. The few people that are enlightened are gifted and are always aware. That is the secret of being a better spirit. Being AWARE! When you are aware you can then exercise your free use of will.

Step 1 Automatic Pilot

Months, weeks, and maybe years go by and we say, "What have I been doing"?  That is called, automatic pilot, or sleep-walking–and it is time to wake up. Our days become full and busy:  work, children, family, dinner, sleep, older relatives, and we are so distracted that we are dizzy when we finally fall into bed at night. We have all heard "live in the present moment,"–many have said to us over the years. We need to move away from Auto-pilot.

 Earth’s Beauty

To become aware of our life is not that simple; I go in and out of it. It is a hard thing to practice. If you can master this you will grow more and more each day. You will look at life differently, people are all so different, but the one thing we all share is being Earthbound. It has torturous paths, and dark alleys, with twist and turns at every corner. The secret is to keep in the light. Open all darkness to light. Never stray down a dark and steep path, in our hearts we really know it will not have a good outcome.

Timeless

Now, the final step, not really the final, but for this article I would be typing forever. This is really important; it is taking full responsibility. Wow, when I got that, I have to look back and say, "Why did it take me so long to get that, now that I am old and coming to the end of life?" Not fair, but when you look in the mirror and you answer to something higher than yourself, when you don’t blame anyone but yourself for where you are . . . then perhaps, you finally "got it". Depending on how you live your life, this could be a bitter pill to swallow. Karma is the law of the universe and that is a fact, it is Gods rule and anything you might believe in, it is the RULE, maybe this is the "Cosmic Joke."  Be free, love deeply, realize that every choice you make affects many people directly and indirectly and when you know that you will choose more carefully. However, it is never to late to say yes, it’s something I wanted to do, did it, and it is now time to move forward with the rest of my life.

You are so funny, karma can come back fast or wait for years, it's not in a hurry. LOL I feel we should all work on ourselves to become the best we can become. And, to remember we are all connected in so many ways. I only hope it touches a few hearts. Thank you for your awesome comment.

Darlene,

Another great post, how many did you post in one day ;). I love reading your content. I love that you talk about Karma...I had a cigarette the other day with a buddy of mine, my wife found out she was upset, but said its my life...Today I am home sick because my throat is sore. She came to me this morning and said, I know you believe in Karma and that's exactly wha happened lol. Damn the Karma lol. At least I get to stay home and read blogs all day and post comments.

Look forward to more reads.
