Daily Life and our Education

No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, compassion, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable so that we can continue to do good for others.

Yesterday I fumbled, I got myself lost on my spiritual journey, I faltered and questioned ‘Why Now, Why Me’! I took the time to ‘Think Too Much’ and allow my ego to have a place in my mind, to question me as to why i was on this pathway!…It took me sometime to bring my mind back into the ‘Now’ to push these thoughts away and to clear my mind, it also helped to receive some encouraging replies to my post from some dear blogging friends (Heidi, Frank and Rising Hawk) their comments can be seen following the blog post as can their contact links if you would like to check their blogs out too 🙂

Today is a different day, the sun is shining, I awoke with a clear mind after a refreshingly good nights sleep, I’m looking forward to my day with a smile on my face and I’m carrying on my spiritual journey with gusto 🙂

Namaste
Mark

” Ahhhhhh, My h…

Published 03/06/2013 by inspiringyourspirit

” Ahhhhhh, My head is spinning, it seems out of control, so many thoughts are racing through my mind, it’s like a run away train. These are not bad thoughts, they are images of people, the earth and animals in distress, our world in distress. My dilemma, what to do, which to tackle first, what to write about, how to bring these things to the attention of a wider audience!
My calling is to get these messages out to the world, to use my voice to help and to heal but I feel lonely, i feel lost, i feel abandoned by the world….What can I do!…I see people on Twitter, on Facebook, on WordPress, on Google + and on other social networks with literally millions of followers, most of these offer no information, they are bad, they drum up hatred, addiction, anger, resentment, greed, jealousy and more but they have millions of followers!…Where and who am I?..How do I get to expand my network?, how can I get my message/s out to a wider global audience?…..A tear rolls down my face yet again as I see the plight of this world and the creatures living on it and in it, children dying, suffering from hunger and disease, the oceans, rivers and lakes around the world full of pollutants, the air we breathe contaminated by pollutants pumped out in the name of greed, food prices driven up by the conglomerates to the point that no one other than the rich of the future will be able to afford them, lust, avarice and greed all around…more tear’s drop from my eyes…Why me, why now and what can I do to get my message out there!!!!”

Namaste
May your day be filled with light, love, happiness and compassion 🙂

WordPress is driving me insane and I’m using up all my levels of compassion, happiness and joy whilst trying to add side bar and header bar links!

I just cannot get them to happen! I have tried everything, read training materials, read books on WordPress, tried adding Widgets, Links, Pages and all those options …BUT NOTHING Works!

Is it just me? Am I that computer illiterate ?

How do you do it?…Someone, please come to my rescue!

I want to add links on the side bar and or side bar and header banners to other sites but I’m 100% lost!

I would really appreciate your help my friends

Leshan 9

Published 30/05/2013 by inspiringyourspirit

Hi Everyone,

Well, it’s day nine of our walk around the beautiful gardens that surround Leshan Temple in Sichuan Province China. We are now coming to the temple itself, as you will see from the images below, it is protected by some fearsome carvings which stand guard outside the temple entrance. The temple is high up the side of the hill and it is a very tiresome climb up all those steps.

At the bottom of the steps is a large Lotus Leaf Statue which is used for burning candles as a offering to The Buddha and to Passed family members and friends.

Hi everyone,

Happy Vesak Day to you all, may your lives be filled with Love, Happiness, Compassion and excellent health 🙂

Sorry, I have been a little tardy and busy with mundane things like work 🙂 So I have not had so much time to update my post on my walk around the Leshan Temple in Sichuan China. So here we are continuing our walk around this stunningly beautiful place of worship which eventually leads us to the largest Buddha carving in the world ‘Dafo’, I do hope you are all enjoying this walk with me and my beautiful wife May (she is in one of these pictures)?

My Higher Self: It is in the Giving That You Start the Receiving

giving

When you give more of yourself, you will receive more. Giving of yourself does not have to be giving money to charities. Giving of yourself can be shown though your gratitude and appreciation for everything in your life. Your attitude does create your reality.

So many people at these times are tired. They feel that everything is crashing in on them. They have relationship problems. They have financial problems.

They do not understand why they are here and what they are to do in this lifetime. In addition, time seems to be flying by adding additional stress and pressures and anxieties to their lives. You do not need all of this.

Worrying will not solve your perceived problems. Take a deep breath and let the worry and anxiety go. Release it. But how, you ask? You do this by showing gratitude for all the good things that are in your life. Focus on all of the wonderful things that are in your life. Take out a piece of paper and write down all of the things that you are grateful for.

Add to it every day and read it daily. Why are you happy? What is good in your life? Do not focus on all the perceived bad things in your life. The perceived bad things in your life are choices you are making to experience which causes your soul to grow and develop. There are so many things in your life to be thankful for. Start with being thankful for being alive.

You are so blessed to be here at these glorious shifting times. Be thankful for the air that you can breathe. Be thankful for all the people and animals and nature all around you. Be thankful for every single experience that you have in your life. Once you turn your perception to a positive perception, things will change for you as your reality is based on your thoughts and feelings.

Do something every day that will put a smile on someone else’s face. What can you do today that will make someone smile? Volunteer a small amount of your time at your local school, hospital or senior center. Seeing children in a hospital or older people in a senior center will have such a healing effect on you. You will realize how wonderful it is to be alive.

You will look at your life and see how wonderful life is and how truly blessed you are. It will change your perception on seeing things. You will see things in a different light, in a different manner. When you give of yourself through your time, you will receive more. You may see your relationships become better.

You may see your financial situations get better. Nobody can change anything for you, except yourself. You are in charge of your life and the choices that you make. Make good positive choices. Go to a local mall for twenty minutes and walk around. Try to make eye contact and just smile at people. Watch them smile back. Watch the warmth and happiness that they feel from your smile and see how much better you will feel.

You worries will go away, your anxiety and stresses will also go away. You will have clarity to deal with the issues that you may have had problems with as emotions are removed from your situation. The more you give of yourself, the more you affect others. The more you affect others, the more your light shines. And the more your light shines, the more your energy vibration will increase. When this happens, you will be happy and you will be smiling.

And smiling is infectious. People will see you smile and now they will smile. Others will see them smile and they will smile. This is how you help spread love and peace in the world. It has to start with you. The angelic beings and guides can only guide and provide encouragement and support, but you must do the work. You need to release and go within to change your reality, if it is your reality that you want changed.

You are the one that decides what you do in your life and you make choices that determine your experiences in your life. What do you want to experience? Remember that what you think will determine how you feel and how you feel is what will be manifested in your life. If you want happiness in your life, think of happy thoughts and you will feel happy and you will manifest things in your life that will bring you happiness.

It is about changing your perception. You can do this. You are no longer controlled by anyone else. You decide what to feel. Giving your time to help others will help you in so many ways. Helping others has such a profound healing effect on you, even if you do not realize it. Being in service to others is one of the highest and most rewarding thing that you can do.

Your life will change as the Universe will align itself to your thoughts and you will begin to manifest things that will bring you happiness in your life. So when you give your time, when you give yourself to others, you will receive. Look for it. It may surprise you. And it just may change your life completely, for the better.

“Somebody Needs To Know . . . “. Please click this link to view the wonderful article by Risinghawk 🙂

This post is from one of my dear blogging friends Risinghawk and The Hawk’s Tail http://risinghawkspeaks.wordpress.com

 

It’s a wake up call to us all, especially me, one who has so many words inside his head and his heart but is too nervous to put them into words…I’m not a writer, I’m a visual person, I see in images and I feel things through my gut, my intuition…I cannot write,…or can I?

Should I pick up my pen, or put fingers to keyboard and tell you more about my feelings, my thoughts, my frustrations regarding this world we live in and my dreams of how we can work together to make our world a better place for us all to live in?

I would appreciate your thoughts on this question so I’m attaching a poll to this post , please reply with your thoughts and let me know if you would like me to write more?

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Here are some more images of the beautiful statues and wall carvings during my walk around the Leshan Temple gardens. Leshan is in Sichuan Province China close to Chengdu where the horrific earthquakes have taken place in 2008 and most recently in 2013. The worst earthquake happened in Wenchuan on Monday May 12th 2008 killing 69,195 people and a further 18,392 still missing presumed dead, so a total of 87,587 souls were lost to Mother Earth on that day. The earthquake was also felt in nearby countries and as far away as both Beijing and Shanghai—1,500 km (930 mi) and 1,700 km (1,060 mi) away—where office buildings swayed with the tremor. I too felt these tremors in Shanghai 😦 Strong aftershocks, some exceeding magnitude 6, continued to hit the area even months after the main quake, causing new casualties and damage.

I hope you enjoy my continued walk around these beautiful gardens and you feel some energy and serenity from the images?

Namaste
Mark
