About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The mission is to share the good news! The good news on who we all are, and how we can axcess the fullest life possible by recognzing where we want to go and finding that core being- Your Spirit! Traveling is Purposed!! Connection, connection, connection

ABOUT ME

I strongly believe that everything is an opportunity, that there is a purpose and plan for my life. This is one of my many forms of connecting with my dreams that I aspire. I have faith and determination to conquer all the visions and ideas I have. This world needs greater people with the ability to let go of the bad, people with the drive and understanding to obey their spirit-the inner voice, and people with the commitment to where they want to go in life- I believe those qualities are a necessary way of living and I have made the choice to live this way and only progress. I share this because it has given me my greatest accomplishments thus far and is creating a pathway towards the success to come! I have a passion for life, I know where I want to go, and I am reaching out to you. I will prosper, I will grow, I will learn. Lets really enjoy life and take each day in :)

Also;
I am a loving person, I care about you, I will always listen to you because i believe if you want respect you give it, I do not fear because fear roots from evil, I fill my life with all things that will prosper, I plant seeds of life with the words i speak and the actions i make because what i sow is the harvest i reap! I respect the earth because we are spirits- having a human experience and i feel the earth was given to us and we need to respect what is surrounding us and keeping our physical bodies alive! I will always bless people because I am blessed to be a blessing!I know where I am going and I want to take as many people with me as I possibly can!

PHILOSOPHY

Believe in yourself, my brothers and sisters. You are a child of God. You do have something of divinity within you. Believe in your capacity to do great and good things.When we understand our relationship to God, we also understand our relationship to one another. All men and women on this earth are the offspring of God, spirit brothers and sisters. What a powerful idea! We need to love one another, as we are spiritual brothers and sisters. What a different world it would be if brotherly and sisterly love and unselfish assistance could transcend all boundaries of nation, creed, and color. Such love would not erase all differences of opinion and action, but it would encourage each of us to focus our opposition on actions rather than actors.With all my capacity I encourage you to discover who you really are. I invite you to look beyond the daily routine of life. I urge you to discern through the Spirit your divinely given capacities. I exhort you to prayerfully make worthy choices that will lead you to realize your full potential. My brothers and sisters, tremendous is our responsibility and great and marvelous is our opportunity as sons and daughters of God. Every one of us is a child of God. We know that. Let us never forget that we are children of God at all times and in all circumstances and in all conditions and in all environments in which we might find ourselves and that there is never a time or a season or a circumstance when we can let down on our standards.You are a child of God. He is the father of your spirit. Spiritually you are of noble birth, the offspring of the King of Heaven. Fix that truth in your mind and hold to it. However many generations in your mortal ancestry, no matter what race or people you represent, the pedigree of your spirit can be written on a single line. You are a child of God!I want to tell you, each and every one of you, that you are well acquainted with God our Heavenly Father.....You are well acquainted with him, for there is not a soul of you but what has lived in his house and dwelt with him year after year; and yet you are seeking to become acquainted with him, when the fact is, you have merely forgotten what you did know."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting at the top of an open green mountain in Coramendal town New Zealand that had a 360 view of the small town, the rolling green hills, and beautiful ocean surrounding it with splashes of floating islands- That is God!

Teach, Learn, Share

1) Religion is man made, but we are all entitled to our own beliefs to what connects us to a place of fulfillment, happiness. And most of all love

2)Really, really take the time to get this! so important!!!-The Power of forgiveness! (forgiving yourself and others) - For those who have wronged us may or may not give us what we want to hear like an appology, so must have the ability and willingness to recognize that forgiving them with an open heart will not only benefit you in all ways but allows you to move on and be free from what once held you bound. Push the resistance that is stopping you to forgive aside! Matter a fact, get rid of it, that resistance also has power- it is all about what your putting your authority into, you have the power to make the right choice and prosper but it also works the other way. When it comes to forgiving you must make the decision to fight off that resisiting spirit , even when it will make the situation look like you did nothing wrong so you may think 'well why should I forgive, or 'they haven't appologized to me', it will try to battle you, but the beauty of it all is that you have the authority and power! you will always win if you make the choice you no in your heart is right, it is your instinct, your gut feeling, your spirit telling you to love on that person instead of drinking the poison expecting them to drop dead! Its only you hurting youself. Many times people will seek justice, as they perceive justice to be. If justice is not rendered in their circumstances, they become hateful and bitter. You must follow your inner being,I say this because you will prosper in all ways by forgiving. In fact many physical symptoms stem from unforgiveness, causing illness's like cancer. They develop a root of bitterness that gives off poisons into their systems and suffer both mental and physical anguish. Because once chosing to hold onto that pain, grudge or chosing not to let go will build and grow- from the spiritual choice to the physical being (your flesh). The key to getting spiritual and material prosperity is linked to our soul (mind) prospering through forgiveness. What is needed is greater people- willing to forgive, sacrifice, obey, and commit! Now you have to make a choice, forgive yourself and others and prosper because then you are walking in love, or walk down the path of unforgiveness that plants a seed, and like seeds of the earth it grows, harvesting what seed you planted. Chose love over closing yourself off. Love is invincible! You have known this all along.

3)I find this to be one of thee most important, most mislead or dismissed fulfillments we can obtain and carry out every day for the rest of our lives and eternity! That is Happiness- Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.We search for happiness everywhere, but we are like Tolstoy's fabled beggar who spent his life sitting on a pot of gold, under him the whole time. Your treasure--your perfection--is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the buy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter into the silence of the heart- I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises. We can achieve Happiness in our day to day life, God is happiness and love!
There is a reason they call God a presence - because God is right here, right now. In the present is the only place to find Him, and now is the only time.Look for God. Look for God like a man with his head on fire looks for water, There’s a crack or cracks in everyone…that’s how the light of God gets in! Let us open our eyes and hearts for understanding so we can live in this Happiness :)

4) Have dreams, because dreams where put into your mind for a reason

5) Speak life, not death

6) Walk in love

7) Follow your heart-instinct-spirit-God!

8) WE dictate our own universe, whatever we allow and put into the universe is exactly what is present in our lives. Strong holds need to be broken, because know one deserves a bad day, bad days only exist if you let it.

9)The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak .You can kill the body but not the spirit.

10)Only dead fish swim with the stream

11)None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free

12)Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don't practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us - and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along

13)Human beings, for all their pretensions, have a remarkable propensity for lending themselves to classification somewhere within neatly labeled categories. Even the outrageous exceptions may be classified as outrageous exceptions!

14)God and nature made us individuals, as both did the flowers and the pebbles; but we are afraid to be peculiar, and so our society resembles a bag of marbles, or a string of mold candles. Why should we all dress after the same fashion? The frost never paints my windows twice alike

15)Dont question what is destined for you!

16) Love is invincible!

17)To be free is to put justice, truth and service to others over and above our personal gain or our need for recognition, power, honor and success. When we cling to personal power and success, when we are afraid of loosing social status, then we are in some way denying our humanity; we become slaves to our own needs, we are not free.

18)You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control. We need to open our mind to whats around us and realize what we are, and now is the time!

19)“I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.”

20) Dont hold back- Love on yourself, love on those around you- you will never lose!!

21)Without Effort and Knowledge,the Heart isn’t Strong Enough to Carry the Dream

22) Be what you be, and all that you are

23)Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.

24) Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings.

25)Spend time with nature- mother earth, and importantly our spiritual father- God

26) I think I deserve something beautiful. You do to

27) In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place.

28)There’s a crack (or cracks) in everyone…that’s how the light of God gets in.

29)Look for God. Look for God like a man with his head on fire looks for water.

30)There are only two questions that human beings have ever fought over, all through history. How much do you love me? And Who's in charge?”

31)I crossed the street to walk in the sunshine.

32) We search for happiness everywhere, but we are like Tolstoy's fabled beggar who spent his life sitting on a pot of gold, under him the whole time. Your treasure--your perfection--is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the buy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter into the silence of the heart.

33) I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises

34)There is a reason they call God a presence - because God is right here, right now. In the present is the only place to find Him, and now is the only time

35)But is it such a bad thing to live like this for just a little while? Just for a few months of one's life, is it so awful to travel through time with no greater ambition than to find the next lovely meal? Or to learn how to speak a language for no higher purpose than that it pleases your ear to hear it? Or to nap in a garden, in a patch of sunlight, in the middle of the day, right next to your favourite fountain? And then to do it again the next day?

36)We don't realize that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace

37)At some point, you gotta let go, and sit still, and allow contentment to come to you

38)Om Namah Shivaya, meaning, I honor the divinity that resides within me

39) People universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you're fortunate enough. But that's not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don't you will eat away your innate contentment. It's easy enough to pray when you're in distress but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments.

40)The resting place of the mind is the heart. The only thing the mind hears all day is clanging bells and noise and argument, and all it wants is quietude. The only place the mind will ever find peace is inside the silence of the heart. That's where you need to go.

41) and when you sense a faint potentiality for happiness after such dark times you must grab onto the ankles of that happiness and not let go until it drags you face-first out of the dirt-this is not selfishness, but obligation. You were given life; it is your duty to find something beautiful within life no matter how slight.

42) “Instructions for freedom":
1. Life's metaphors are God's instructions.
2. You have just climbed up and above the roof, there is nothing between you and the Infinite; now, let go.
3. The day is ending, it's time for something that was beautiful to turn into something else that is beautiful. Now, let go.
4. Your wish for resolution was a prayer. You are being here is God's response, let go and watch the stars came out, in the inside and in the outside.
5. With all your heart ask for Grace and let go.
6. With all your heart forgive him, forgive yourself and let him go.
7. Let your intention be freedom from useless suffering then, let go.
8. Watch the heat of day pass into the cold night, let go.
9. When the Karma of a relationship is done, only Love remains. It's safe, let go.
10. When the past has past from you at last, let go.. then, climb down and begin the rest of your life with great joy.”

43)The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”

44) Learning how to discipline your speech is a way of preventing your energies from spilling out of you through the rupture of your mouth, exhausting you and filling the world with words, words, words instead of serenity, peace and bliss

45)The earth and our physical bodies have a strong relation. Like the Earth-our physical bodies consume seeds. Like Seeds in the Earth we can produce flowers. But we most recognize that weeds also grow, for the dirt of the earth does not defferinciate good seed and bad seed, it just grows the seed. We must start recognizing the seeds we plant in our lives and in our bodies. What are you allowing to grow in your life? Its time to remove the bad seeds out of our lives and let the good prosper and grow

46)A camera can be looked at as shadows in light and shade seeing all things common or obscure- Both cameras and eyes have lenses that can focus and will project an image ( upside down ) of what they are looking at, and the Pupil from an human eye can expand or contract to adjust the amount of light that enters, this is the same as the shutter of a camera. Exactly like the camera we have the ability to capture what we see physically (or within the mind), which is then projected on the inside of us. But what we must notice is what we are allowing to be projected and developed in ourselves. Acknowledging what your allowing your mind to think and what your physically keeping around you may reflect in the image that is developing within you. Is it harvesting good or bad? Are our eyes Open? Well , when we enter a room that is dark, our eyes may be open but cannot see what is in the room. Once we enforce POWER and turn on the light, all objects are revealed and the darkness instantly leaves. By being able to fully SEE with our eyes open, we are then able to see things in the room that where once not seen, just like the darkness in a room, our eyes can be open but we may not see what is really there , as soon as we open our eyes- power and light comes through, and we then can overcome!
