Your Need To Know

I came across this poem by Moises P. Reconalla and wanted to share it with you:

Just for today, I will improve myself. For today is the sure preparation for future success.

Just for today, I will no longer compare myself to others; instead I compare only my past self so I can be able to become the master of myself!

Just for today, I will laugh at myself, at my errors and at my failures in life for these are the secret of refinement and emotional maturity.

Just for today, I will remind myself often with these words: Life is yours to enjoy. Dont waste it. Dont pass up living by thinking yourself into a failure and defeat. For there is always a room for opportunity and success. What you shall need to do, is to create one!

Just for today, I will cultivate myself to give its best to the world and the world will give back its best to me. For the world is a mirror of king and slave.

Just for today, I will be careful, watchful and vigilant. For the world is full of treacherous individuals. Therefore, in order not to fall in their traps, Ill think thrice before I act and do my activities under the sun!

Just for today, I will motivate myself to be self-reliant, honest, hard working, humble, open-minded, have word of honor, respect, and originality. For these are the true secret of power, fame and integrity.

Just for today, no longer I compete myself to others, instead I compete only with my own self for here is a true secret of greatness and success.

Just for today, I will value the reading of good books. Books are gifts where hidden treasures laid given by a Loving God to motivate my intellect to think and grow rich!

Just for today, I will share my knowledge, skills and talents to the world, so I can be able to lift up and give comfort to the wondering broken-soul.

Just for today, I will greet my beloved fellow human being with a sweet smile instead of frown. Encouragement instead of discouragement for whatever a man soweth that shall he also reap.

Just for today, I will not neglect to give praises and thanks to my Loving Creator. For He is the source of my energy, breath, strength, and wisdom. Without Him, I am vanities in all vanities under the sun!

Just for today, I will talk to Him with these words: My Great Creator, Loving and faithful Friend of mine, I am here now in your front to glorify your name. I would like to thank thee for all the trials, pains and sorrows in life you prescribed to me because it help me a lot to refine my character and views in life. I pray that you now help me to remove every single defect of my character, stands in the way of usefulness to you and to my fellow human being. Please help me to follow these precepts in my hands diligently, so I can gradually become a catalyst of change and inspiration to those people around me. Finally, can be able to bring them successfully nearer and closer to you. Thank you, dear Lord for listening and answering my petitions. In Christ name, Ill pray Amen.

Wish you many blessings to come and God bless!

Does the idea of living an inspired life appeal to you? Do you want to have more inspiration in your life? Do you want to know your calling?

Have you ever asked yourself “What is my purpose on this earth?” or “Why am I here?”

I just returned from a wonderful ten-day vacation and some much needed R&R. During this time, I picked up a copy of “Inspiration - Your Ultimate Calling” by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Dr. Dyer is one of my favorite authors and speakers, and I have several of his books and audio recordings.

Dr. Dyer is an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of personal development and I have learned much studying his teachings.

Here are some excerpts from the book:

I believe that being inspired means being in touch with your spiritual self. We are not physical beings living in a spiritual world; we are spiritual beings living in a physical world. Every person on earth has an immortal spirit: That part of a living being that exists before birth, dwells in the physical body during life, and exists after death as a separate being.

You came from Spirit, and to be inspired you must become more like where you came from. You must live so as to become more like God.

All our lives, we have been taught by our family, our community, the schools, and the media that we are what we accomplish in life. We were taught that failure to accomplish the life that ‘they’ saw for us meant that we should feel rejected. Furthermore, we’re taught that we are what others think of us, and if our reputation is stained, we are of even less value.

You have a calling back to this place of inspiration. It is working in your life right now. You should heed this call so you can come to know the joy and bliss that awaits you.
There is a voice in the Universe that calls to us to remember our purpose for being here in this world. It is trying to let us know that our being here has meaning. When we become fully awake to the Spirit within us, wonderful changes take place in our lives. We begin to have more energy, our creative juices flow, we are not judgmental or critical, we are more tolerant of others’ behavior and attitudes, and we are joyful and loving.

The reason I feel inspired isn’t because the world looks perfect. Rather, it’s the other way around: The reason the world looks perfect is because I’m in-Spirit (a person who chooses to live an inspired life). I’m able to stay in a state of gratitude from the moment I awake right up until I close my eyes…I’m reminded that staying in-Spirit is really
about staying in vibrational harmony.

When I’m living my life from this perspective of inspiration, my vibrational energy is more attuned to that of the creative energy of the Universe. Miracle seem to be ordinary
and limitations seem to be non-existant, and where the power of our Creator seem to roll right up and land at my feet.

What might your life begin to look like through a State of Inspiration?

“When you are inspired, dormant forces, faculties, and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed
yourself to be” –Patanjali

How do we become more Inspired?

• Choose to listen to your inner voice - Your Spirit voice. Invite our Spirit to participate in our daily lives, trusting ourselves to something greater than our physical being.
• Begin to think in terms of miracles not only being possible, but actively working in your life.
• Practice laughing at the importance you place on your everyday circumstances. View them from an eternal perspective and find yourself lightening that heavy load.

This book is much more spiritual than his earlier works I have read, and may be a bit of “too much new age spirituality” for some. Nevertheless, there is a lot of good reading and some good, practical lessons for getting “In-Spirit”. This book contains a good deal about his own personal journey to spiritualism and is probably a little repetitious in areas, but if you have previously read or heard Dr. Dyer, I’m sure you will enjoy it.
