Be Brave

Soul searching is not an easy task. If it was we'd all be walking around as enlightened beings manifesting what we want from life. Finding one's soul requires a willingness to let go of the ego. The ego likes to be in control. The ego likes to think its in control. 

The first and foremost thing that you must be able to do is have faith in something much bigger than yourself. It matters little to me what you call it, just have faith in it. Having faith in the unknown takes bravery. 

Trust that your higher power knows best. This is that letting go of control thing that we find very hard to do. Truthfully, in life, you can only control one thing, and that is how you react to what is happening in the now. Now is all there ever is. Accepting that takes bravery. It's a huge first step toward understanding that you are worthy of having so much more in your now.

Loving yourself takes bravery. Forget everything anyone ever told you about your exterior self. It's not true. Forcing you to focus on your exterior has taken you away from focusing on finding your soul. Loving yourself is the gateway to having the love that is needed on earth today.

Sharing that love with others takes bravery. It is impossible once you love yourself to not want to share that love with others. Loving your higher power first, yourself second, and all other beings third is our purpose. 

Fulfilling your purpose takes bravery. We are to find our soul and then help others to find theirs. That is ultimately why we are here together. Not to live in fear of one another, but to live in peace with one another. 

What we see happening in our world today is not how it was supposed to go. We were given free will by our higher power. This free will allows us to have good or bad in our life. Either or of those choices is going to accumulate into reward or mayhem (karma). The state of our world is indicative of how poorly we have been using our free will. We are doing this to ourselves. 

I call my higher power God / Universe / Creator. Whatever name you use for your higher power, I want you to realize that it has had enough of our feeble attempts at humanity. Your higher power is letting us know that the time is upon us to do some soul searching. 

Be brave. Trust your higher power. Do the work to find your soul. Help others to find their soul. Be a part of the solution to turning this thing we call humanity around. All things are possible when we believe in ourselves. Be brave. <3
