Practicing Benevolent Actions Takes Us to a Higher Place

Practicing Benevolent Actions Takes Us all To a Higher Place



Over the years, with all of life’s ups and downs. it’s been amazing to get back to realizing the importance of benevolent prayer. And, in getting back to that space where you know you are connected to a spiritual source.  It’s so easly to simply forget that connection when we need it the most.

I remember a time when my strongest belief was in my personal connection of my spirit to the universe.  It’s funny, how when really bad things happened, how I immediately wanted to be in that space that says “I am fine” but the true experience is doubt and frustration.  Afterall, I didn’t ask for the pain.  I didn’t ask for the disappointments. So why did they happen when all along I believed deeply in my connection to all things good.

Pretty soon, I stopped believing in my connection. 

There is nothing about me that shouts vunerability.  Or naiveté.  Yes, I do believe that when you ask you shall receive when the time is right.  I trust that you can ask for the best in the most outrageous outcomes and that all things are possible.  But the difficult reality is when things happen out of the blue.  Things you don’t expect done by people you trusted with your whole heart.  And those things impact you deeply.  How do you pick yourself up again?  Where do you start to reinvigorate that sense of spirit and of peace and belief.

Since I have gone from the heavens, down the rabbit whole, and back to a stable place, I believe I have a better strategy:

Forget the worry.
Forget the regret.
Embrace your spirit.
Ask for benevelant outcomes in all things.
Rely on your connection to the Universe.
And stop worrying.
Meditate. Pray.
Now, and forever.
Believe in the best for yourself.
And that is exactly what the world will provide to you.

Peace everyone,
