Living Your Life Without The Presence of God
How Are You Living Your Life?
Living your life without the presence of God in your life is extremely difficult. When you include God in your life and not only ask for guidance, but also believe you are receiving it, you will find your life will flow naturally as well as find yourself making good decisions.
Is God a Part of Your Life?
Can you live your live without making God a part of your life? Yes, because you were given free will. Do you really want to live without God being a part of your life? For me, I know I'm not alone, and if I include God in my life, I feel strong and protected.
The Ego, As Dr. Wayne Dyer once said, "EGO, Earth Guide Only"
The ego is what makes you believe that it's only you when you do wonderful things, it's you that came up with the idea, and it's you and you alone that makes it all happen. The way I see it, we have free will; we can use it for good and we can use it for evil. When we use it for evil, we are distant from God, when we do wonderful things, it's because of the power God gave us.
In conclusion, you have power given to you from God. You can use it for good or evil, you can live your life in an illusion, and live a life that is distant from God, or you can live your life with the presence of God. It's up to you. God is there and wants to be a part of your life, you just have to let him in.
That's The Way I See It.

It’s Thanksgiving – What Are You Grateful For?
Today, it is Thanksgiving in the United States. There are so many things we can be grateful for. Sometimes, we just think of issues like; "I'm grateful for family", health, food, etc. Naturally, we are grateful for these things but, do these general things really make you feel grateful?
If you are grateful for some of the issues we sometimes take for granted, for example: clean air, clean water, freedom to think what you want, living in a free country, having electricity, eating 3 meals a day, having choices, being able to walk, being able to see, being able to hear, living in a safe area, having a warm bed, choosing the food you like to eat, being loved by friends and family, and the list goes on and on. These thoughts of gratefulness start to open your eyes to other things to be grateful for and your feelings change; you start to feel really good.
After listing as many things you are grateful for, you start to experience "True Gratitude. "
We as North Americans, have so much abundance in our lives. Many times we forget to be grateful and when we are grateful, it is only for the big things in our lives. There are many things in your life now that you can be grateful for, start listing them and you will experience a shift in the way you feel. Do this once a day, or once a week and you will start to get into the habit of looking at things to be grateful for. You will be a happier person!
Thanksgiving is once a year, It should be more often so we remember to be grateful!
That's the Way I See it!

Be Happy Instead of Jealous
Jealousy is a bad habit and an enemy to your inner self. It's a destroyer of true happiness and prosperity. I'm not speaking of relationships or couples. I'm speaking of getting jealous when a friend or even people that you may not know are successful or have good fortune.
Think back to a time you got a new car, computer, house, job, or something else…did you notice that you friends were happy for you, or did they suddenly start talking about how they could have what you had just received or purchased? The conversation may have changed from being happy for you to figuring out how they could have the same thing.
This doesn't make them a bad person; it's just that we are all caught up in our own world. Your friend may be truly happy for you, but they now want to know how they can improve their own life.
It would be tough to tell your friend to just be happy for you and not focus on themselves; that might even turn into an argument. The bottom line is: you can't really change your friends, but you can change yourself.
When they experience success or good fortune, rather than becoming jealous, be truly happy for them. How?—you might ask.
Well, it's simple. Everyone has their time; everyone has good things that happen to them. So when you see someone else doing well; smile and feel happy for them in your heart. Now is their time and be happy to be a part of it. Know that good things will come to you too when it is your time.
This type of thinking allows you to be genuinely happy for the person and enjoy sharing in their time of success and happiness. It will make you feel good about yourself and attract prosperity to you!
