Be Authentically YOU!!

What do you wish for?

Is there a dream you have for yourself?

There is no greater joy than the joy of living. The joy of being fully alive and present in your reality, for remember, this present moment is all that there is. The future is a dream, the past is a memory. So why are so many people unhappy with their current situation?

The road to awakening is different for everyone of us. But I can tell you that the moment I learned about present moment awareness and how to remain present was when the light bulb went on over my head. It's so simple and yet, so elusive.

It doesn't matter what you are doing at this moment. Just GET INTO IT! Try to stop thinking and analyzing and start FEELING. Use your physical senses: smell, sight, touch, taste, hearing to connect with whatever it is you are doing and feel how your body reacts.

When you learn to appreciate the present moment, you can begin to understand more about what you like and dislike. When you pay attention to yourself and your feelings, your actual physical feelings, you will know what you want.

I'll give you an example. When I was working in the business world, I had to dress appropriately in a suit, or skirt, heels and look the part of an executive. When I wore those clothes, my reaction was discomfort, a feeling of alienation and a sense that I was simply putting on an act. So for a large portion of my day, I was pretending to be interested in something that did not interest me and I was pretending to be someone I am not.

My dream, my feeling of joy comes from helping others. My passion is spiritual pursuits, art and writing. When I paid enough attention to myself in the present moment, I became aware of this disconnect between my authentic self and my facade. As I learn to trust that all I ask for is given to me, I become more in tune with what Spirit wants from me and I become happier and happier. My dreams are becoming real. You will receive whatever you wish for in divine timing and with surrender to the will of God. When you let Spirit guide you, following the cues from your body, your heart will soar and your dreams will become reality!

Ask your angels for help every day, for big issues and for small ones. That's what they are here to do, to help us learn to find ourselves and thereby find peace and joy.
