The Journey to Becoming Yourself

Posted on by

By Jan Engels Smith

In a world full of stress, deadlines, needs, and scarcity, it is sometimes hard to determine that you have any power. Helping yourself can feel like an overwhelming and unattainable mission. However, we also live in a world full of new information and understandings. Ideas of self-empowerment and the feelings that these truths bring is testimony for a new way of thinking.

The universe is unlimited, and, if you choose to explore it, you will awaken to a whole new way of knowing—a whole new way of being. Spirit is available to all people at equal levels; there is no “better than,” or “more deserving.” The choice to raise your consciousness means to broaden your awareness, open up to new possibilities, step out of your comfort zone, and allow information other than what you already “know.”

Spirit has many names: God, Great Spirit, All That Is, Mother/Father, Great Mystery, Allah, and Lord. All are interchangeable. Your spirit, which is housed in your body, is part of that giant whole. In fact, everything is made up of the same energy. All things—every tree, rock, grain of sand, gust of wind, drop of water, animal, insect, bird, planet, star—are expressions of the divine, and we are all interconnected in a divine and profound way.

You are an incredible spirit of divine perfection, the same composition as Spirit. Creator is an ocean and you are a drop of water in that ocean. You carry within you the exact components and properties of the entire ocean. You are made of Spirit, in the reflection of Spirit, and Spirit is in you. Continue reading →

Benefits of Living Life with Purpose

896613_liquid_backgroundWhy we should lead a purposeful life? What are the benefits of living life with purpose? No one comes here on this earth without any purpose.

If by the God’s grace you are here in the form of human being, nothing better could have happened to you than this. You are one of those fortunate creatures who are blessed with God’s best architecture.

You should be thankful to the Almighty for His creation and blessings.

Human birth is the best of all incarnations: To incarnate in the form of human being has been considered the best birth on this planet.

Because you are the one who can think and act better than any other living beings. You are gifted with a brain, superior than any computer, a pious soul and a heart full of compassion and love.

You have been blessed with all those faculties that could stop the flow of rivers and turn the direction of storms. Still you are yelling and sound miserable? Get up and shed your somber and distress!

You do not deserve to be the way you are today! You are here for some destined purpose. Now it’s your task to identify that purpose. You must find it as you have been bestowed with all that might and knacks to find your life purpose.

You have been designed by the God, the greatest architecture, with the best possible traits within you. How you could be down in fervor and spirit!

Your life purpose is within you: Are you still wondering? Let me help you! Just try to find out what pleases you the most.

What you are passionate about. What enchants you the most! What you find yourself good at? Whatever your answer is that is your first step towards your life purpose.

Don’t blame others for your condition: If you are miserable and frustrated today don’t blame it to destiny or circumstances. It’s rightly said, “A man gets what he actually deserves.”

It’s all your own creations. You need to look back where you lacked in your efforts to reach your goal in life. Where the drawback was? Strengthen it and start again with even more force and enthusiasm.

Pull your socks and give one more try with greater energy, inspiration and audacity! Who knows if your goal is only an attempt away!

There is no power that can restrain you from reaching the purpose of your life if you are armed with adequate enthusiasm and perseverance.

Nirvana the ultimate path to fulfillment and contentment: It’s not sufficient to only find purpose in life. It’s all about leading and fulfilling that purpose as well. Because life with a purpose will bring happiness and a sense of contentment which is rare to find even after being bestowed with whole lot of authority, money and power.

This is the reason people are wondering in search of peace and fulfillment. It is not easy to earn money and fame today but it is more difficult to attain that level of peace and enlightenment which is the ultimate goal of all human being.

In other words “Nirvana” is the last step towards happiness and peace. It is a state of mind where there is tranquility everywhere and the mind is free from cravings and lusts. This state of mind can only be attained when you have a purpose in life.

This is one of the biggest benefits of living life with purpose. And to find purpose, you need to grill your consciousness repeatedly to extract the purpose behind your birth on this earth.

Listen to your consciousness because there is no bigger well wisher than your own inner voice. Because this voice never lies and perhaps never dies as well.

Self Esteem – Celebrating The Most Important Person In Your Life

Posted on by

1204662_teapot_teabags_and_rosesToo often we overlook this person as not being special enough or worthy enough to take notice of and celebrating. The truth is however, there is no more important person in your life. This person is the only one that has always been there in good times and in bad.

This person is responsible for an immense amount of good in your life and the lives of others. The person I am referring to is you. The sound of your conscious mind right now denying what I have just written is deafening. Your conscious mind is speaking from a place of fear. A fear of how truly great you are and can be.

There is another voice however that is not afraid. On the contrary, this voice recognizes the greatness within you, and fully supports you in expressing your true self. This voice speaks from a place of unconditional love. It is very easy to distinguish this voice from that of your conscious mind.

The challenge however is that these voices are on separate channels. For many people they have been listening only to the channel of their conscious mind, not even aware that they had a choice to listen to another channel.

You have a choice. I encourage you to listen to the voice that speaks to you from a place of love. This voice is always ready willing and able to celebrate every step you take on your journey through life.

And you have a lot to celebrate. The only reason you might not think this is so is because your conscious mind tends to focus obsessively on the negative. You may have done a hundred or a thousand great things in your life, and your conscious mind still brings up that thing you did five, ten, maybe fifty years ago as an example of how you are not worthy of celebrating your life


If you were to take a piece of paper and write all the good things you have done for yourself and others on the right side, and all the things you judged as bad on the left, I think you would find that the list on the right would be significantly longer.

Regardless, the fact is that you are an amazing person who through good times and challenging times has always done the best you could in the given circumstances, and if you could have done better you would have, and for that you deserve to CELEBRATE!

Today and everyday instead of looking at what you have judged yourself as doing wrong, look for what you have done right and celebrate it. Look for what other people are doing right and join them in celebrating that.

As a culture we spend way to much time beating ourselves up and judging ourselves as “less than”, not “enough”, “not worthy” The truth is you are a divine being having a human experience in which imperfection (by perfect design)is part of the process and yet from the day you were born you had everything that you needed to create and to experience a life of perfect abundance, peace, joy, and love.

And even if that has yet to be your experience, the truth is right now in this moment, you still have everything you need to live the life you deserve and desire, and that is certainly worthy of celebrating.

By celebrating you encourage and give permission to your true self to step forward from out of the shadows and into the light to share yourself and your gifts with the world.

So come on the time is now to celebrate you, the most important person in your life!

Peace and Joy: The Next Twelve Commandments

Posted on by

1198419_abstractMany people honor the Ten Commandments and try to live by them. The belief is that a long, long time ago, God gifted us with these guidelines. In this more complex world, we can use twelve more to steer us in positive personal and global ways.


The following are my ideas for the next Twelve Commandments. To be consistent with the first ten, I started with “Thou Shalt.” However, if you have a problem with that, just read the rest of the sentence. Your hearts will probably resonate with these positive courses of action that help create peace and joy.

1. Thou Shalt Be Free to Be Thy Unique Self.

When we are being and expressing who we are, we feel happy and fulfilled. This means exploring our interests, desires, skills and talents and deciding what is right for us. Effective parents help us have high self-esteem, inspire us to be who we are and then support us to live our unique lives, just like mother birds encourage their babies to fly from the nest when they can.

2. Thou Shalt Speak Thy Truth In A Loving Way.

It is more important how we say something than what we say. When we begin our communication with “I” we take responsibility for what we are saying. Speaking from our hearts with kind words is very powerful, because people can hear us and feel good about what we are saying.

3. Thou Shalt Focus On Being Kind and Loving.

Positive words and actions are contagious. Be the person you want others to be. If you want your partner, children and others to be kind and loving then act that way with them.

4. Thou Shalt Allow Thyself Abundance and Share.

Prosperity is your birthright and you deserve abundance. There is a belief that the more you give, the more you receive. It also feels so good to give to others unconditionally.

5. Thou Shalt Forgive Thyself and Others.

Revenge and holding grudges will hurt you. Accept that we are all human beings, hopefully learning from our mistakes. It is very healing to forgive others and yourself.

6. Thou Shalt Seek Win-Win Solutions.

If both parties are not okay with the solution, then, it will not be effective. No one likes to lose. It is best if all parties involved feel heard, considered and okay with the decisions.

7. Thou Shalt Respect All People’s Beliefs.

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. When we honor them, we have more peace and harmony. Be open to accept other people’s opinions. You do not have to understand everyone’s beliefs, but it is important to respect them.

8. Thou Shalt Accept Everyone As Global Family.

We are all human and have the same basic emotional and physical needs. When we accept everyone as our brothers and sisters, we will live in a wonderful, peaceful world.

9. Thou Shalt Honor and Take Care of Mother Earth.

Planet Earth is our home. If we devastate it, we will also destroy ourselves. To truly live a healthy life, we need a healthy earth that is kept clean and considered in everything we do.

10. Thou Shalt Balance Thy Life Between Work and Play.

In order to be healthy and happy, we need to balance our lives. We are actually even more effective and efficient when we take the time to play and rejuvenate.

11. Thou Shalt Be Healthy, Happy and Fulfilled.

We are not here to struggle and suffer. It takes healthy, happy people to make a healthy, happy family, neighborhood, city, state, country and world.

12. Thou Shalt Live in Love, Joy, Peace and Harmony.

I believe that our God Beings, whoever and whatever that is for us, wants us to live in love, joy, peace and harmony. We are a microcosm for the macrocosm of the world. If we all choose to live this way, we will create a loving, peaceful world.

Living from the 22 commandments can help us all live better lives and enjoy peace on earth. Each one of us has the power to make a difference. These guidelines can help you create the joyful life and world you desire. Go for it!
