Religion?
from Beautiful Movements added 7 June, 2009 at 08:50 AM
You call yourself a spiritual/religious person yet the choices you make are pure evil. You dwell in breaking others spirits because misery loves company. But I won’t let you get the best of me. My role in life was chosen for me, it is my bigger purpose and I have much responsibility that goes along with it. I have a gift. My truth and honesty moves people and the bigger picture means I can move mountains. I know my purpose in life is huge. I know my role is a stepping-stone for what’s to come and in the big scheme of things is a true blessing. I’m not hungry for fame, connection yes but fame no.
I’ve learned many lessons through self-perseverance. I know that the work on ourselves is one of the most important jobs we have. We owe it to ourselves. Whatever we leave not fixed becomes poison in our lives and then becomes the person that we are. Our choices create our character. Who do you want to be?
Flaws become our differences. The way we embrace them is what confidence becomes. When we live from a rotten core, too blind to see the light of day, we isolate ourselves from everything real, normal, and beautiful life has to offer. Not one person in this world is “perfect”. I may feel broken from time to time but I always do my best. When others feel broken I do my best to have compassion and when it calls for it, empathy.
Nobody’s actions in life are personal. Everything is based from our own perceptions. We create our own realities. We hold on to situations and judge them from what it makes us feel. There are sad people in this world. You can’t save them, only they can save themselves. But we can use the situations and feelings they stir in us to propel us to a better future.
I came to the conclusion that love and compassion is my religion a couple of years ago. As I see strong believers in a faith around me make less then what I perceive as moral choices, I grow further and further away from what truth I once tried to understand in them. The only control we have in life is control over ourselves and the only way to change people is to lead by example. To be the example of happiness you must stand your ground and always act on your truth and honesty.
The people around us are the key to knowledge. By being the observers in our own lives we can take lessons home with us every night. Some people lead by a good example others lead by negative choice driven by manipulation, greed and ego. By being aware of all that goes on in our own worlds we have the choice to create our own life. We create our own set of beliefs through our own religion. Does it make a difference what religion we follow? Isn’t the basic idea of religion a guideline to leading a happy life? Then why do people of faith look down upon people that ask questions? I understand believing in something much bigger then we are but in what way does a person of lesser understanding for the bible become unworthy?

Kim... you amaze me. You constantly make me think, and challenge myself.
I think it's wonderful you ask questions. There is no set way on what religion is 'right', no set way on how to be happy. It's different for all of us.. what is right for me might not be the same for someone else and I completely accept that. We need more people in life not judging - that's not our role. Instead we need to move forward as one, and stop fighting each other.
I know many people who call themselves people of faith yet can't act from love. I witness it through the lives of people very close to me and it's unbelievable. The very essence of faith is love. To move forward in life you need to be able to love. Whoever you're talking about in the start of this blog, just remember you live from love and compassion and that's the most important thing.
We each have a strong purpose. All of us were created equal and all of us have a journey and a path to follow. We all deserve to be happy, does it really matter how we get there?
There is alot of prejudice and negativity, heartbreak and unhappiness in the world, but people like you really do break the mould and start to shine a light in the dark. And when we all band together, there's no room for darkness, just more light.
Thank you for teaching me so much about myself. And kim, you are so worthy of everything life has to offer.
I hope you're okay. I love you so much.

In the past I realized that it wasn't my body to hold me but the will, a voice from inside that continued to yell: You failed !!! And I thought about the life, I thought how many times world shout you the you will faild, that your dreams are too ambitious, that the dreamers will be relegate in their own dreams ... and I thought even as I surrender, a number of days I spent nell'inerte awaiting positive signs, and how many times I raised myself to try, with the stubbornness that characterized me but with the same fear.
We are human, too human to have faith in the inconsistent
Everyone lives in their concrete present, aware of the "here and now." Sometime God acting, facilitates the way , and does so secretly, without ecclesiastical lies, maybe because our lives like him so much, and sometimes He feel tired to fell eternal and to assist at the suffering of those who are deeply in love with him ... for this I thank him every day, because in this inconsistency I discovered the reasons for my existence, and because I love to touch this intangible emotion.
Joy is made up of many small things, and it is all these things that makes us cry out: Long live to the life.
Often we are not able to grasp the little things and often convince us that our well being depends on others: it would be useful to change your mind and attitude, for our own benefit, and give us permission to stay healthy, regardless of everything, with the only justification for our being body and soul.
This ability is given only to those who can make every day of his life a unique and passionate experience: loving and receiving love, fighting for their ideas and their beliefs, engaging in achieving the noble goals for himself or for others, running away to the continuous inaccuracy of the soul, the bigotry in the ideas, the opening in a comparison
Let us permission to stay healthy when we deserve it...
