We are bombarded with messages telling us we aren’t good, attractive, busy, spiritual, successful enough. The list goes on and on. These even come from spiritual, religious, positive thinking or self-improvement sources.
We listen to the point of feeling guilty for not being “good enough” and forget who we are. We are each a unique expression of God sent to this earth to reflect the light.
To stay on the path we need to turn down the noise and follow our spiritual compass. Having beliefs and values we live by can help us stay on track. Are your beliefs and values reflected in your life or are you wandering off course?

Reblogged this on A Journey of Faith and commented:
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.”
― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

It has taken me a long time to find my way too Wendy. But looking back I can see where every step along the way brought me to where I am now. I am so glad the path I thought I would follow in my twenties didn’t work out. I was such an arrogant academic snob — not to mention totally clueless. Now the 20 years after that I spent wandering around lost I could have done without, but now, finally, life is good. 🙂

I agree with you. We need to stop blaming ourselves all the time for things which are not our fault. 😀

Turning inwards and taking time to pause and connect with the Divine keeps me on course.

Remember the saying “To thine own self be true”. It’s so difficult with the assault of mass media. But we need be true to ourselves
