There is a wonderful story about a king who went into a downtrodden village, a village with no schools, no libraries and no joy. He told the people of the village that he had just replaced one of their newborn babies with a royal child. He said that he was going to come back at some point to see how they were raising this royal child, and warned them that they had better do a good job. Since no one knew who the royal child was, each parent said to themselves, “Maybe it’s my child. I’d better be very loving with this child so the king will be happy.” Continue reading Learning to Love Your Sacred Being        Comments are closed  Self Improvement & Personal Growth  core Self, created in the image of God, essence, God, Inner Bonding, inner child, love, loving adult, loving yourself, Margaret Paul, Mother Earth, self-love, spirit, spirituality, true self In your daily life, are you guided by fear or by love?

Research indicates that the happiest people in the world are those who live in communities where they feel connected with each other. Of course we long for connection when we don’t have it in our lives. But sometimes it seems elusive – even in committed relationships.

Peter experiences life as a burden – a sentence to get through that is filled with suffering. Peter trudges through his life, experiencing little joy. He works hard, makes enough money to feel financially secure enough to take care of his family, and spends little time in connection with others. To Peter, life has no real purpose other than to make money and do the best he can to feel safe. Peter has no connection with anything greater than himself. He does not believe in God, Spirit or a Higher Power. He believes that when he dies, he disappears forever. He has no perspective of anything beyond this life. Life, therefore, has little meaning to Peter. Continue reading Do You Experience Life As A Burden Or As A Sacred Privilege? |
