Coloring Souls

It is all tranquil and our minds love the taste of that. We do not love it dull like during the winter season. We all want it in a summer fashion. Our minds creates such imagery about what we aspire to achieve; the end look of what we desire. But at times, it takes our decisions for life to be as colourful as we wish. The more we see such intriguing visions, our appetite and hunger grows bigger and aggressive at all times. Careers, relationships or opportunities that we meet and at times the efficacy and confidence in achieving them.

We catch fish and instead of being content with the size we get, we use the same to bait for a bigger one. When we meet some realisation, we quickly become pompous and feel that we can get even more. Greed creeps in our spirits and dominates us.

We must be cognisant that by the time we achieve that which we got, the grace for it had been granted sufficiently for by the universe and there is none the same beyond that, what is available is that which helps us to complete the oncoming stage; What and how to utilise that which we received.

We win not because we have anything special, but because the universe has allowed it at that particular time. Have you ever wondered why people who are not academically gifted beat life and ride on its utmost success? It does not matter your stature or status, when doors open for you nothing can stop that.

All it takes is embracing the gift that you have and work around maintaining and enhancing it.

The universe will not give you something which is dead, that is, everything has the potential to thrive beyond its initial composition. It all depends on your dislike as an individual, focus and determination. A weak person will not appreciate the much they got but would want to try acquire more.

Professional gamblers know when is the right time to stop betting in their casino games. Once they win, they do not attempt to get much because they are aware that losses are eminent if they would try.

Contentment is the quality we must learn and practise in all our dealings across all spheres of life. If you find yourself a good partner, and they treat you right in every way possible, it does not mean that you will get that from everyone who you shall meet after him/ her. I am beautiful or handsome, so I can get any kind of partner I want.

Or, I am smart and intelligent, therefore I can always get a new job elsewhere. That is a wrong mentality since it leads you astray from where grace can guide and protect you. If you meet a challenge in the good relationship or occupation you are currently in, it is time for growth. You must, therefore, introspect and strive to learn from such since your growth is embedded on that.

They are other people or things which will invade our thoughts, colour them with ideas which are at times not feasible. They speak things that we want to hear and feel that those in our lives they are not saying.

We become locked up in the illusions they provoke in our mindset then we are too quick to discard the ones who have given they all to make us comfortable and appreciated. People divorce simply because of this. Some they quit their destined jobs over ideas that could not materialise. We act outside the sphere of grace, where things are very brutal and unforgiving. A win in our lives must be carefully looked after with all sincerity and utmost caution. When things go bad, it does not mean that it was a wrong blessing but rather, it means that it is due for the next dimension and no one will take it there except yourself.

Grace earns us such wins, not you. If you do not embrace this fact, your ego will inflate and live a illusion that you somehow have efficacy to achieve things beyond your reach. The universe gives once, not frequently so act like it.
