Journey of Life!!!!!

Sometimes the greatest test in life, is being able to bless someone else, while going through your own storm. When we are burdened with our own burdens, problems and difficulties we normally concentrate and focus on ourselves and others don't matter or have importance in our lives. We want to settle and resolve our situations and difficult moments. But it will be more rewarding blissful if we can think of others who have similar situations like us and be a source of inspiration and blessing to them. Then we see that the storms in our life become less intense and slow down to a peaceful situations. In these difficult moments and storms Don't choose the better person, choose the person, who makes a better you and you make that person better with your experience and guidance! Don't put off opportunities to be a blessing to people, to serve those around you. You don't know, where that small step is taking you. Your purpose could be waiting for you, at that next act of obedience.

One of my spiritual fathers advised me when i had some relationship issues with my companions and we were not one talking terms. When i shared and sought some answers to overcome the spiritual guru advised me saying Michael You need people, that bring out the best in you, people that inspire you to do better, that challenge you, to live a life of excellence and integrity. It was very true and real, as my companion was superior to me in many fields. He challenged me every now and then with his creative mind and behaviour, i misunderstood him completely out of jealousy. He was a brother who believed in his God given talents and gifts and used them to inspire others but would demand sacrifice on the part of the others. He challenged me often and i did learn a lot from him later once relationship was restored. I saw in him a friend who was interested in sharing and communicating the goodness that he enjoyed and experienced on a daily basis.  I learnt from him that It’s not the challenges we face that matters, but how we choose to look at them, and what we choose to do, with those opportunities. I came to know and accept him as The coolest guy around and a brother who was kind, humble, unselfish, honest and self-aware. 

In my journey of life have met people, who will provide unhelpful and unsolicited opinions and make our journey tedious, tiresome and difficult one.  I have learnt to ignore then and their opinions which are normally harmful and negative. Dealing with such people becomes a real skill, and will help you forge a path, to a greater and a more liberating future.
