When you overcome a trial or tribulation you feel exhilaration. You get the same feeling when you receive a wonderful gift. Those situations are one and the same to your soul, as they give it the gift of vitality.

When you fail at something, a gift has fallen through your hands. So when great trouble or suffering faces you, realize you are being offered a present from the Almighty. You will have more spiritual energy to surmount it, and your prize is less likely to slip away.

Most animate life has an instinct to protect it’s young. Yet we can find grandparents loving and caring for their grandchildren, and grandchildren honoring their grandparents. This is a sign of our special spirituality. Only humanity has the capability to respect our history, unlike the rest of the animal kingdom.

Honor your lineage and you will find honor in yourself.

Thank you. Say it often because you should be grateful for the things in your life.

Be thankful when you have money. You can delight in the material things the world has to offer.

Be thankful when you don’t have much money. You can feel satisfaction knowing you can make it, if only barely, to enjoy what life can offer.

Be thankful when you are in good health. Your body and mind can live near an optimal state.

Be thankful when you are not in good health. You are not among the many others who are suffering in a far worse way than you.

So say thank you frequently. You should be grateful for the wisdom you garner from whatever comes into your life.

You both emit and receive positive energy when you do a good deed. Yet how much more we admire you when you inspire others to do good deeds.

Even as your spirituality grows stronger, you are still likely to experience a fall. But each time you do, you will rise up again. And with each ascent you will reach a higher plane of awareness.

Everything around you has a spark of the Divine Essence, whether it is the ground which supports you or the wind which caresses you. All of reality is divine in nature. If you continue to be spiritual in nature, nature will continually encompassed you and give you blessings; like the air you breathe in.

If you believe you have a soul, improving it is done by trying to attain spiritual harmony. When your body ceases, your soul will soar upwards on the path to The World To Come. There are many paths, but if you practice spirituality your soul will retain that information and know which paths not to take.

If a person was heartless, immoral and iniquitous during his life, his soul will not be aware of which roads to stay away from and it will move in the wrong direction. That soul will wander downwards and take paths which will bring about adversity akin to that which the person created during his lifetime.

It is not too late to take the high road. You CAN change and make things better for you and for others. If you are already on this road, don’t let anyone or anything make you deviate from it. You are not only a better person for it, your soul will be grateful after it passes on.

There is a commercial where “the most interesting person in the world” says, “Stay thirsty my friends.”

When you are enlightened by a smattering of wisdom, you will obtain a thirst for more and greater knowledge. In this manner, stay thirsty my friends.

An extremely powerful energy is produced through nuclear fission, where atoms are broken up into smaller components. When we break up our ego, we release our own very powerful energy, one which emits something fission does not: A Divine essence.

By mastering your own energy source, you don’t ever have to feel insignificant. You can use your power to make changes in this world, possibly great ones, and that makes you an energy source as powerful as any other on this planet.

If you think up a great idea on your own, only to find out later that someone thought of that before you, don’t feel disappointed. Feel good about yourself, for you are extremely privileged to be in the same company as another deep thinker.
