Three simple, yet powerful words – Health, Wealth and Happiness.
 
We all, knowingly or not, strive to be happy. It stands to reason that one cannot be fully happy without health and some degree of comfortable living. With health being the most precious of all, we must realize that our physical health reflects our mental state of mind. The visible body reflects our invisible mental health.
 
In our society health is seen as the proper functioning of the organs, as well as an overall feeling of well-being. Mental wellness, however, is generally viewed as a positive attitude, a balanced and sound mind. This definition of mental health highlights emotional well-being. It includes the capacity to live a full and creative life, and foremost the flexibility to deal with life's inevitable challenges.
 
Wealth has many meanings. We all see wealth with different eyes and have a different sense of what it means to be wealthy. Of course, seeing it from a material stand point it means money to most people. But there is more to that.
 
Wealth means an abundance of goodness flowing into our lives because we have given and contributed to the goodness of all. It means a sense of immense love for ourselves and every living being, which in turn will bring back all the love we’ll ever need. A feeling of wealth will engulf us when we realize that we are part of the Allness of Good, God, which leads to Happiness.
 
True happiness doesn’t come from things or riches, it comes from an inner knowing of self. A fulfilled sense of being. A sense of gratitude and a sense of bliss.

​We say we love our friends and family, but then we are quick to judge. “She should have known better”, “He’s such a slow mover”, “Why can’t they pick up the pace at work? I always have to help”. I can go on and on with examples of judgmental thoughts, might they be small or large.

People have their own pace, their own way of working things out.
They might appear to be less talented, less quick to act or understand, less tolerant, or less gifted, but by judging others we are taking away from our own good. Why?

Because judging them robs us from the good we could be thinking instead. We must remember that they are not less—they are as perfect as you are. They are just on a different level of unfoldment, or frequency, working on their own issues and challenges. It’s all in the perception. We expect from them a certain level of understanding or capability. But we should not fall into this trap. It’s not our place to demean them or think of them as lesser.

So be compassionate and focus on yourself. Live your life as an example so they can see your progress and blessings. Only that will inspire them (if they desire so) or they can do what they think is right for them. After all, it is their life!

​Take, for one moment, your physical sense of health away and think: “What is really healthy in the mental realm?”

Not medicine, home remedies, quick fixes, organic juices, lean food, diets, and all the other advertised cures. Real health comes from healthy, wholesome thoughts; a shift in attitude and mental stamina. Real health is our ability to discern between right and wrong, always choosing high quality thoughts and feelings, the virtuous, wholesome and good for all concerned.

Our physical and emotional aches and pains are the reflection of our painful thoughts from past thinking. Let us make sure that our thoughts ‘now’ are full of love and appreciation, and free of fear, so we don’t have to experience the same agony and discomforts tomorrow.

Let us make sure that we, not only, live a healthy physical life but also a healthy mental life. Naturally, a shift of Consciousness to a higher and healthier dimension is inevitable, because progress is a law of life. So, allow yourself to be open to this natural flow of progress. Even though the spiritual transformation might be subtle, it is also certain. It’s all part of the Universal Plan.

​You are Health!

The Soul, our Consciousness, loves to think quietly. It cherishes solace, relief from emotional distress. The hustle and bustle of this world belong to the ego. The beauty and silence of nature belongs to the Soul.

Yet we fall into the trap of daily commotion and entangle our fragile self with negativity and disturbing noise.

It seems difficult to awaken from this power of illusion, or cosmic hypnosis, that our mortal life presents to us. We still crave earthly pleasures, and that’s OK in moderation. It’s part of our journey. Where we fall short is in keeping the balance between desires of the flesh and desires of the spirit.

We should, and area able to, build our heaven on earth, here and now. The natural direction of our Consciousness is upward, our true self intentionally seeking a better understanding of Truth.

Those who coast and are mentally lazy will reap the unpleasant rewards of staying in the same daily rut. The only way out is to clear our minds of this mental clutter and lift our thoughts to where they belong.
​
Planting new seeds of lovely and good thoughts in our minds will bring us the blossoms and blessings we are yearning for, because every day is a new opportunity to correct yesterday’s thoughts.

Here some morning thoughts-

These days we talk a lot about Truth. Is he or she telling the truth about this or that? Can we trust them? Is it the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Universal Truth is more than being honest with your friends or family, it is more than what we see on TV or politicians utter in public, it contains more than our earthly sense of what seems real to us.
Universal Truth it is unchangeable, unmovable, and everlasting. It is God itself.

When looking for Truth, it doesn’t matter who wrote it, said it, or taught it. Truth is Truth. The person shouting it is not the creator of Truth. He is only the messenger, a vessel of sorts – or in many cases the shouter of untruths.

Embrace Truth when you find it.

How do you know it’s the Truth? Does it feel right? Is it loving, uplifting, spiritual, pure, honest, and good for all concerned? Ask yourself these questions and observe your mental and bodily response to your feelings. Are you experiencing a sense of joy, a loving sensation throughout your being when thinking about Truth?

Therefore, let us stop obsessing about our ego-selves and focus on what is really important, which is our spiritual unfoldment and our all-inclusive attitude. We are vessels of this God-Consciousness, Truth, here to fulfill a purpose. We are pieces of the cosmic puzzle. Our true purpose of upward progress, when achieved, will free us from this self-inflicted, karmic bondage. It will free us from being limited by falsehoods, deceptions and self-inflicted denigrations. It will allow us to see Truth as intended by the Almighty Power, our higher self. It will show Truth in its true Light.

​We are all on this path of self-unfoldment, a natural progression of spiritual awakening. Challenges approach us every day, some subtle some bold, but always reminding us that the work has to be done.

In this journey of self-unfoldment we must seek self-improvement. Self-improvement requires self-control and self-esteem, which are utterly important to achieve a healthy balance. Self-control and self-esteem are two of the first issues we will have to address, because we must understand that it is ‘us’ who can change our situation, whatever that might be.

Do you see yourself in control of your daily doings? Do you see yourself as self-sufficient, self-reliant, and fully competent, or do you doubt your abilities?

Never doubt your abilities, your strength - and keep your good motives clear. Always move forward with love for life, people, and all living creatures.

To start out with let us engage with people who are on our positive wavelength, the ones that easily tune into our radar. Individuals who are loving and kind; who reflect good character and who want to better themselves by applying and living according to Universal Laws; the Laws of Truth.

Our personal behavior should set the standard for right living in this world. We all should be examples of positive thinking, good clean healthy living—and thereby teach and inspire others. Just imagine the peace and love we would experience and contribute to a world that suffers so much pain. Let us begin!

Let’s talk about how we solve our personal problems. Do we acknowledge them, reason them out, handle them, or do we just hide them under the rug? Do we get lost in the drama of the moment or can we step back and observe? Do we dwell on the negative observations or can we stop ourselves from replaying the mental images?
 
Any situation can be handled more easily if we are willing to take the time and carefully apply right and positive thought. In a matter of fact, it takes a lot of energy to stay negative. So why not turn it around and transform each challenge into an opportunity to grow and evolve? The negative events are really positives when we see them as a learning tool.

How do we do that? How do we separate our emotions and fears from what appears so real?

Firstly, we must take a step back and breathe. Secondly, focus and see the problem for what it really is: A learning experience. Nothing more, nothing less.

We must be of one mind and good purpose. We must have faith and know that all will work out for the good at the end. We cannot switch constantly between one thing and another, being wishy-washy all the time. We cannot doubt our decisions and we must have the courage to go on no matter how difficult it seems at the time. I can assure you, straying off the right path will get us nowhere. But being strong and moving forward toward the light will show us the way to a better day.

Take a good look at your life, your environment, your earthly possessions. Are you attached to everything around you?

Your house, your car, your family photos, and all of your things? Or can you look at them in a more spiritual sense: your house as a temporary abode, your car as a convenient means of transportation, and your family photos as a collection of fond memories for example?

We cannot take any earthly objects with us on our journey to our next state of being. We can only enjoy them here and now while practicing to reach a better understanding and refine our sense and connection to our higher Consciousness.

Yes, we can achieve all earthly blessings—a lovely home, a great family, the perfect job—and still gain spiritual knowledge. It all depends on our priorities; what is important to us at this stage of unfoldment.
​
Eventually, however, the longing for material riches will subside. Only our sense of comfort will remain, and even this sense of comfort will have evolved to a higher level of understanding. Once at this point in our unfoldment, our focus will be only on gaining more understanding of Universal Truth, spiritual awareness, God. Understand what God really is and all things will be added unto you…

​When listening to yourself you will realize that the voice in your head is constantly talking. So, we must start paying attention to the excessive chatter and observe its mood. Is it positive, negative, or just going on and on about something? Are the thoughts focused and clear or all over the place? Are these ideas worth spending our precious time on, or are we wasting our moments with repetitions of outgrown, useless opinions?

This inner voice is your reasoning ability. It will debate between the options you have. Is it right or is it wrong? Will I succeed or will I fail? Your reason will work all day long, it is your constant companion and therefore, start choosing the positive side only.

If you don’t like the experience you have, or despise the visible picture you see, change your sense about it. Changing your sense about it, also means changing your inner speech. You can retrain your mind, your thoughts, your voice, to instantly seek the right and good side of all. It’s that simple.

Carefully watch your inner melodrama, your thoughts and also (important) your feelings; it’s like watching a movie. Be the observer, stay out of it—don’t get lost in it. Just observe. By getting involved in your own daily-life movie, you allow yourself to become emotional and fuzzy. It sucks you into the vortex of negativity. We don’t want that to happen!

Only detachment and neutrality will keep your mind clear. Remember that your ‘sense of’ is your awareness of what you believe to be true. It doesn’t mean it is true. But this ‘sense of’ is also the light within you when applied correctly. Think about this idea: if you do not especially ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ anything, it will make everything evenly enjoyable. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

​Single-mindedness is the roadmap to success. It implies courage, focus, and the conviction that you are powerful within yourself. It shows that you know what you want.
What is single-mindedness?

It is a mind set that you acquire when you stay centered and dedicated to your desire. Nothing sidetracks you, nothing deters your intention. You have a wish, you outline and visualize, you stick-to-it and you follow through.

Therefore, don’t give up so easily. Stay firm and concentrate on the chosen idea. Whatever it is you want, be determined, motivated, and patient.

You have to come to the understanding that your desire already exists in the next dimension. What I mean by that is, all there is and ever will be is already a part of this unlimited, all-encompassing universal force. You only have to bring it into your ‘now’ experience through your specific and focused thinking. You are the creator, the thinker, and the producer of everything that befalls you every day of your life!
