Three areas in our lives which are most vulnerable to problems are our body; our group,community, or society; our family. These are also three areas which bring us much joy and purpose. These areas require continual effort to remain healthy and productive, and family should override the others.

There is a huge responsibility in raising, guiding and/or caring for family members. This obligation is yours, and should not be solely relegated to schools, institutions or other people. To do so might signal personal problems so common in our society. Yet to not do so might hurt a family member instead of helping him/her.

Do the best you can, and put all your effort into that family member. He/she needs you. If that is not enough, then look to outside help. It is the end result which is most important.

There is a time to pray, as it is a high form of connection to your spirituality. But when action is necessary, prayer should not be your primary path to success. Believe you can change the situation, and don’t think about personal issues. You can make it happen, so move forward knowing the source of your spirituality is at your back.

We all come into this world for a specific and unique purpose. This is the reason why you see the world a little differently from everyone else.

One of the greatest pleasures we have is paying our last installment, whether it be on your car, your house, or your life here on Earth.

Many people realize there is a dark force determined to destroy our moral fiber, yet they don’t recognize it when it subconsciously tells them to act in an immoral way. They see evil in obvious situations, but ignore it on subtle levels. So when they hear a voice saying to do something dishonorable, they assume it is their voice and carry it out to satisfy what they believe to be their own desire.

More spiritually attuned people can sense that something is wrong with carrying out such a demand. People of high moral values know they are doing something wrong, even if they can’t help themselves at that moment. In such a case, they earnestly compensate for that later in acts of redemption. If you are spiritually aware, the same should hold true for you.
