Did you know that you are the most amazing being to ever walk this planet
Di d you know
That you are a rare jewel that has been placed upon this earth for this purpose and for this time
Did you know
That the presence that describes you is not really all that you really are
Did you know
That words aren’t enough to describe the reality of who you really are
Did you know
That the universe works with you and through you to help you to see that beauty has nothing to do with makeup or attire
Did you know
That peace encompasses you and keeps you
Did you know
That your presence here makes this planet a better place
Did you know

Shines upon the moon
The moon lightens the night sky
The night sky fills the earth with warmth
This warmth is the glimpse of the radiant sun returning
The sun returns to serve another day
Another day of splendor, another day of worship
The sun embraces its task and does it freely
Freely the sun receives, freely the sun gives
The radiant sun is consistent with its love and never improvised of its light
The radiant sun

Vibrant peace and love to you

Swagger is defined by the urban dictionary as “How one presents him or herself to the world”. As young adults we strive to create that swagger because we want to stand out and leave our finger print on our environment.

What is real swagger? If it means expensive jewelry, flashy cars, and dapper outfits than the definition of swagger is nothing short of a gimmick or a false self. You….the true you  can never be defined by what you put on the outside of your body but what you display from your divine swagger within.

Lets dig a little deeper. What does it mean to present the world with your material self with a claim that somehow this empty shell is a representation of you? The answer is “False Advertisement”. False Advertisement uses misleading statements in an effort to persuade people into believing in something that is not true.

How can one display Divine Swagger? Divine Swagger is the original idea of God. Divine Swag (Swagger) is when you break all boundaries and create new norms in your society. Create new norms of love, patience, and understanding. The original idea is that there is infinite possibility within everything.

Live like you have never lived before! Expand your mind to receive all that is God. Place a contact lens on your insight. If you dig deeper into your love for others in every situation possible the results are life changing. Your presentation to the world should make it a better place to live in. This is the true representation of who you really are. It is better to be a first class you than a second class somebody else.

Peace to the Real you!

The words on your canvas

A canvas according to dictionary.com is closely woven, coarse cloth of hemp, cotton, or linen, often unbleached, used for tents, sails, oil painting, etc. Canvases are basically used according to this definition a piece of linen used to display an idea. Throughout our lives there have been many ideas or words spoken about us. That have believe it or not planted seeds in us so that we could become what we are today. Those ideas or words displayed or said toward us do not all have to be negative for us to have grown into what we have become. Our own definitions stated toward ourselves are what make the extreme difference.
What are they saying?  What are they conveying?  What are the definitions of the words on your canvas?
A canvas is where an artist creates art that arises from his inner thoughts. What he feels he interrupts onto a blank canvas. What he feels he brings to life.  What he does not know, he creates an answer for.
We are natural life givers, whether you are a man or a woman you have the capacity to give birth to a dream, a goal, or a miracle. We as a people have the incredible ability to be the source to which Excellency flows. There isn’t a person on this planet that has not this ability. Some might be thinking of someone right now who they view as someone who cannot procreate. The fact is all stumbling blocks are so only by what is deeply registered or etched in the soul. We must therefore work to reprogram our subconscious mind or our soul through meditation, visioning and affirmation in order to clear the old patterns captured there by the words of our parents, siblings, and society.
Why not be the artist that redefines the art on your canvas? Instead, of allowing the individuals around us to infiltrate our subconscious mind with deprived language of death evaded thought patterns that conclude in illness to your own body. You are one canvas away from being the success you wish to see. Why not challenge the ego and elevate the brush that is in your hand to create a piece of art that has never been seen, an original piece.

Peace and Blessings

I recently read a story about a male college student who committed suicide. It was said that the possible reason could have been based off of a prank that was pulled on him by his college friends. His friends planted a hidden camera in his dorm room, that captured a sexual encounter with another male.
When I read this I couldn’t help but having a mixture of emotions. I automatically thought about his parents, and then about how his friends felt after hearing the news of their mutual friends death; based off of the speculation that their acts could have amounted to his death. These thoughts overwhelmed me. I then thought about what must have gone through this young college student’s mind. He came to believe that being caught doing such a profound act with another male was worthy of death.
This college student has so much life ahead of him. I imagined his thoughts now; as he visits his life and his realization that there was much more life to live. I also imagined his face when he realized the reality of death while comprehending that his purpose was not cut off the moment his friends posted their findings of the hidden camera on the internet. On the contrary, his purpose was something greater. This  purpose was not only of benefit to him but for the betterment of society. I also imagined the look on his face when he realized that his existence was beneficial to this planet and that he could have been the change that caused lives around him to become instruments of love and reinforcers of eternal truth.
While pondering upon this I began thinking about the human life and that we spend a lot of time, thinking about what we want to do, but never seem to get around to do it. It can also be said that when we finally put into practice what we want to do; we say that we don’t have the finances to put our dream into reality. The truth is the dream is not a mere picture of what we want to hold within our hands. The dream in itself has enough ability if believed in to create its own abundant flow. We see this with millions of individuals. For example, Jay Sorensen after spilling coffee on himself while driving in 1991, came up with the idea for a cardboard sleeve to fit disposable hot beverages preventing people from getting burned. The fact is we unfortunately have to be burned before we can come to a level of awareness that light exists within the darkness.

The question I pose to you today is not what are you going to invent for the sake of revenue, but what are you going to create within yourself to build legacy. A legacy is what we see in Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr and other great leaders. We see that these individuals started their mission by first seeking change in their own life. This is all while contributing to the societal collective consciousness that we experience now on this planet. They did this by the unique way in which they chose to be a vessel of love. What will be your legacy? but more importantly what will you say when you visit your own life?

Much peace and many blessings,

Sweet Presence

Sweet presence of the moving and living God surrounds me
Peace, love and harmony embrace my entire being
Peace and love sing songs of joy while encompassing an ambiance of a soothing aroma
Soothing aroma smells like the sweet smell of creative life
Peace says there is no lack, and that there are no worries
The ever abundant river of life flow through me creating continuous supply
Love says there is no hate, for hate is only love when folded over and that within love only harmonious life exists
Joy says there is only gladness and that within gladness there is ONENESS
This ONENESS is a continuum of peace and love within the wholeness of what unravels as what we encompass within
O’ sweet presence is moving, living and oozing out of me
Sweet presence is sweet to the taste and sounds like infinite wisdom
It is for this sweet presence I am wonderful and magnificently flawless
Sweet presence of the moving and living God surrounds me

When looking up the definition of “significant other” I have found two distinct definitions. The first is a person, such as a spouse or lover, with whom one shares a long-term sexual relationship. The second is a person, such as a close friend, who is important or influential in one's life.

 I believe many of us consider a mixture of definitions, a spouse, lover, boyfriend/girlfriend who is important and at the same time influential in our life. Who is that person for you? What are your first thoughts when you think of that person? How did you first meet? I am sure some of the stories bring a smile to your face. Smile by the way stands for Soul, Mind, and Body’s Instruments Love Every time. Your smile is something that is deeply rooted in your soul and mind. It is more than just the mere expression that shows up on your face. So when you have someone who can make you smile it is a precious gift that merits much gratitude. The very first thing we must understand is that in order to love anyone we must first love ourselves. Buddha once said “You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

Lets dig deep within. How much of your life are you spending with this person? With every second that passes we have a spiritual opportunity for growth. With relationships we need to ask ourselves the tough questions such as “Am I free”? Are you free? Do I look deep within the pupil of your eyes and tell you how I feel? Do I spend more time encouraging you than critiquing you? How can I be a vessel of unconditional love for you today. How can I acknowledge that you are a miracle that is unaltered by the outside influences of this world. When you see this person again try this exercise. Stand facing them. Look them in the eyes while you hold both of their hands. Tell them all of the positive words that come to mind when you think of them. End with telling them “This is you”.  This world trains us to focus on negativity. It does this by having us focus on our conditions. This also translates into our relationships. We focus on negative conditions for far too much time. Be a lover of love. Be the initiator of positive vibrations. Be the one that spends 95% of the time encouraging and 5% critiquing. Be the one that spends time focusing on love and not negative conditions. In Life we must be willing to give what we are asking for. Otherwise we will never receive it.
