Truth Thursday
Lessons from my experience
With this blog, I share the truth I have learnt in my life in the hopes that it will motivate others to find their truth.
I have learnt that the deepest truth is within my soul.
I have learnt that there are no obligations in life, only free will.
I have learnt that I reap what I sow.
These three truths helped me to realise that I had never taken responsibility for my own life. I blamed God, indirectly, for a lot of things I felt were wrong about the way my career was heading. When I finally realised that my life is my own for me to do as I see fit, I came to know that there is a level of freedom that eludes most of us because we are constantly aiming to please other people outside ourselves.
It's very easy to talk about doing what you want to do or being who you want to be. However, for those that are used to receiving the accolades and approval of others or those that delight in being and doing the 'right' thing, it is not as easy. It means that you have to let go of every parameter against which you measured yourself and begin to see that your own approval is enough.
You most likely like the idea of being your own boss. However, this requires your being responsible for yourself and able to ignore others when they tell you how foolish or delusional or mad you are, just because you have decided to be directed by your internal compass.
Aside from other people telling you how crazy you are, you have to deal with your mind telling you how crazy you are. You have to learn to train your mind not to take cues from others but to take cues from within. You have to get your mind to move from seeking another person's approval, to begin seeking your approval- you being your soul, your true self.
This blog is all about the journey on that path. I hope that it will help you discover your own voice and your own path for your own self.
Please feel free to email me with any questions or comments or even just to say hello. I am on this journey as much as you are, and it will be great to know I have some friends on this path with me. I can also make time to chat if you need a listening ear.
So get in touch. I am always available to respond.
Love,

Hamster Wheels & Gratitude
So, move forward and be one with your soul in a heart of gratitude for all that is around you - the great and the not so great.
Control Over You
There is a difference between delayed gratification and needless suffering. That difference comes in the form of the control you perceive to have over your life.
Checking In
It is important to prioritise getting to know ourselves. It helps give us direction.
A Reminder On Patience
What does patience mean to you and for what are you being patient? The need for patience is an indication that the thing for which you are waiting, you are not yet prepared for.
Focus on ME
when we stop worrying or feeling as though there is something missing from our lives, we will see that we have all that we need to be in bliss at this very moment.
Don’t Blame it on …
Blame is blinding. It blinds you from seeing yourself as you really are. It blinds you from seeing the truth.
Build on Small Dreams
Don’t allow yourself to get tangled in ideas. Begin working on the first idea; leaving no room for excuses of what you have or do not have.
Doing the Right Thing
Wondering about doing the right thing and how we can figure out what the right thing is.
By Whose Power
moving forward, you must be constantly connected with and plugged into God. That is, never see anything as impossible, rather focus on how to bring it into being. When you do that, the Universe shall respond to you a thousand-fold, taking you on a journey far beyond your wildest dreams.
Adun’s Birthday
I'd like to ask if you have an idea to do or create something or start a movement or bring about a form of change? Does it seem like it would be amazing, but also impossible? Here are some key reminders to set you on your journey.
An Ounce of Honesty
I want to present a complete picture because apart from reminding myself that I don't have to have done a certain thing or applied a piece of wisdom to be worthy of the Greatest Love, I want to remind you too.
Freedom
Free yourself from fear, from lies and deceit. Today you take responsibility for your own life and in doing so you are free.
The Soul’s School
Learning from the experiences of multiple lifetimes requires you to go within.
Ending on a Good Note
Reflecting on 2017 and appreciating all the growth with which it presented me
Working In The Moment
The future is now. Do you understand this? It means that what you do now creates the future. Thus, the future is now.
Aspiring To Be Myself
Take inspiration from people, not to be like them, but to be your best.
How Do I Discover My Voice?
Not letting the fear of mistakes or being wrong hold you back from discovering who you are.
A Daily Exercise
How am I going to express myself today?
In Gratitude For All
Starting from a place of gratitude, even when things do not look good.
I’ve Got The Magic In Me
The miracles in life is not about bursts of magic , but doing what you need to do to get to where you want to be, and knowing that you will arrive at your destination
