Let the Sun Shine!

There's a saying, "As above, so below".  In addition, you've heard that behind every dark cloud is a silver lining.  Not that we like to be amongst the dark clouds, but I do like the fact that the silver lining is very present.  What I want to talk about today is you.  What your thoughts are about self and even more important how does one get their thoughts in line with that which is above and recognizing those silver linings.

I know I have been on a particular tangent as of late, but that is because we have begun a huge shift in thinking, and it is my desire that you hold on tight during this shift and that you come out of it more prepared than ever to take your rightful place in the universe.  The most important aspect of this approaching shift is that each of us come to a full and complete understanding of our place, our reason for being here, and just who and what we are.  I know I have gone on and on with this particular subject as of late, but that is because it is the foundation of what you will be creating in the upcoming months and years, and a foundation that is not solid will eventually crumble.

I have been reading a book by Dr. Wayne Dyer, and when I say reading, I mean reading it and reading it.  No sooner do I finish it and I am directed to begin it again.  The book is about the power of intention, and I can only surmise that there is something very specific that I am supposed to gain from it, that has eluded me thus far.  What I have taken away from reading this book almost ten times is that I am not a product of my upbringing.  I  have been influenced by my upbringing, I am however a product of that which created me.  I have said it before that you will never be able to separate yourself from that which created you.   Certainly you may walk away, you may ignore, you might even resist with everything inside of you, but separate yourself, no not so much.  I have also come to realize that most of what has taken place in my life, although not always pleasant, has gotten me to the point I am right now.  I have learned from most of it, and those things that I haven't learned from I can assure you they will be visited upon me again in the future.

My desire is linked to my destiny.  Your desires are the keys that are being provided to you to unlock, understand, and ultimately walk in your true destiny.  If I had a penny each time I thought about destiny over the last five or so years I would not need to win the lottery.  Destiny is such a part of my life that there is nothing that could ever separate me from it, nor would I want to be separated from it.  When I sit down to write, whether it be this blog, or a book, I am in my happy place.  I live with peace, joy, and happiness.  There is virtually nothing I would rather be doing then writing and talking about destiny.  The happiness this brings to me is the same happiness that will come to you if you will take the time to discover and walk in that one thing that was the reason for your being here right now.

There are too many people walking about these days who have turned their back on their destiny.  This may have come about because of things that have happened in the past.  Failures, hurts, lost opportunities, you name it and these are the things that have sidetracked many a person.  Whether one is faced with a loss, a failure, or anything contrary to their destiny, does not mean they will never be able to get there.  These dark clouds of loss, failure and the like are nothing but learning opportunities and with each one you edge one step closer to your destiny.

We were created by love, because of love, and it is this love that will shape, mold, and otherwise bring you to a place of understanding.  We may never fully understand the reasons we go through the things we go through.  We may never fully comprehend the depths of love that the Creator of the Universe displays to us each and every day of our lives.  What we need to understand is that we have within us the same ability as our source to create, manifest, and live in harmony with the rest of creation.  Man has so lost track with the true nature of God, and this is because most of mankind is more worried about controlling others and has lost touch with the true meaning of self.  Self is not what is in it for me, but rather what can I do for the rest of humanity.

I encourage you to reflect on those things that are locked deep within, but as of now you have not dared to hold them.  I encourage you to reflect on those things that are locked deep within you, but as of this moment you have not dared to acknowledge them simply because others would think you mad.  You must not let what others think dictate, or otherwise stop you from holding on to those things that were placed in you, and placed in you for a very specific reason.  I do not care what others think of what I do.  I do not care if my desire to help others is contrary to the idea of always look out for number one.  I simply do not care.  What I care about is walking in my destiny.  What I care about is helping others discover the greatness that was placed in them and why this greatness was placed there in the first place.

You have within you the ability to reach for the stars.  Your purpose is as bright as the morning sun, and once you can hold on to this, then you will shine for others to see.  It is time to shine bright.  It is time to step out from behind those clouds that have tried to define you, and let the rest of the world know that "as above, so below".  There is joy, peace, and happiness to experience.  It is your joy, peace, and happiness, and no one has the right to take that away from you.  Step out into your destiny and see if all the clouds of the past do not go away and all you will experience is the sun shinning down on you.
