Our Spiritual Journey: Finding Our True Selves

Stop trying to be more than you are. Let yourself sink into who you are, complete with all your past pain and deep inner joys. Let go of the idea that there is a better you out there, existing somewhere in the future, who will be more worthy of love and happiness than you are today. There is nothing wrong with you. Focus, instead, on letting go of all the messages that you have received throughout your lifetime that have told you that there was. People can be quick to impose their pain onto others and to project their own inner dissatisfactions onto people who have nothing to do with why they are unhappy.   We are each beautiful, divine creations. There is magic and power in each of us when we stop trying to be more than who we are. We don’t need to climb mountains to discover our true potential. We need to sit quiet and still on the grass, watching the butterflies, knowing we are one with all creation.     ~ Karin M. Keyes

         Be gentle with yourself. We are all souls in growth. What we know today, we didn’t know yesterday. What we will know in a year, we don’t yet know. We need to show ourselves love… always. There is never any need for self-criticism. Instead, go within and get to know yourself better. What positive purpose are your “short-comings” attempting to serve? How are they an attempt at self-love? How can you address those attempts in a more self-loving way? We don’t engage in negative actions because we want to hurt ourselves. We engage in them because we are already hurting. We are trying to regain a sense of control to alleviate the pain and feeling of powerlessness.  The most powerful thing we can do for ourselves is to surrender. The past is the past. It’s over. Nothing we do today can change the events of yesterday. But we can acknowledge how much pain certain events caused us. We can soften to ourselves and know that, no matter what, we survived. W...

Let go of any thoughts of who you were yesterday. You are a new person today. Don’t waste your time reflecting on your old thoughts. They were the thoughts of yesterday, not today. Be present to the energy all around you at this given moment. Let go of everything that does not serve you. Don’t reflect on people’s views that are of a lower vibration than your own or what you strive for. There is nothing you need to take from this. Life is not about survival. It is about thriving and growing and transcending. Let lower beliefs become all but invisible to you. You are aware that they are there. That’s all you need to know. Move within yourself as if you are the only person on this earth. Acknowledge what you know and strive to become more aware of the magnitude and magic of life that is all around you and of which you are a part.   ~ Karin M. Keyes I am joining in the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop!

Be responsible in your actions. Maintain constant awareness of the choices you are making moment your moment. Bring love into every choice you make. Act with integrity. Take into account the needs of others as equal to your own, not by sacrificing your own needs but by being considerate of others. Be honest. Act with integrity. Imagine a garden in which every seed you plant grows immediately and is there to sustain you or to teach you the consequences of negative action. There is nothing that you plant that is not of consequence. You may be planting the seeds of weeds that will overtake your garden or seeds that will grow into that which will provide all that you will need in life to thrive. Allow yourself to pause before every choice and to ask yourself what you want in your garden. Imagine your most beautiful life always. ~ Karin M. Keyes  

Imagine a magnificent puzzle, of which we are each a part. There are no identical pieces and yet every piece fits together perfectly into the whole. It does no good looking to what the “piece” next to you looks like or is doing because he or she is their own unique expression of the Divine. Each contains the DNA of the whole but serve their own unique purpose. In our imaginings, we have awareness of that whole, even if we do not have complete awareness of what the “other” is doing, as they don’t have conceptualization of what we are doing. We don’t contain the DNA of the other parts, only of the whole. It is not for anyone else to understand us, as it is not for us to understand anyone else. Only the creator of the puzzle knows the whole in it’s entirety. We don’t need to. We don’t even need to know a lot about who we really are individually at this moment. We simply need to act within it, from a place of love, without seeing the bigger picture of who we are.  ~ Karin M. Keyes...

       We are entering into a new era in our lives, a new era in humanity. It is time to let go of our old way of thinking and our limited beliefs about who we are, both individually and collectively. It doesn’t serve us to look at the whole of humanity and measure who we are according to what other people are doing on our planet. This is a time for us to go within and to ask ourselves who we want to be, what inspires us, what our gifts are, and what makes us happy. It is the time to ask ourselves what we can do to make the world a better place.       We have become so afraid that we are not enough and that we may fail in our efforts. We have become blind to the needs of others at times. We don’t need to be perfect. We will learn as we go. Our intentions matter. We are far more prepared than we think. If we enter into even the smallest endeavor with love, we are already contributing a great deal to the whole. This is how we beg...
