A Sense of Clarity

Whether we know it or not, we all have a God given mission here on earth, small or big. Therefore it is incumbent upon us to find out what it is and work towards fulfilling it. Many people fail because they try to copy other people’s dreams instead of identifying and pursuing their own. Where we are going is not always clear. Often we are going in all sorts of directions. What our goals are—our spiritual goals—we are not always sure. Often we set goals, if at all, that are influenced by fear, material gain, and sometimes we try to copy someone else’s dream instead of pursuing our own. How to achieve the selfless goals, we’re not always sure. Often we proceed in the most convenient way possible, with little effort, or in some instances so we can just to get by in life. The choices we make, are not always spiritually right. Often our choices are driven by material gain only, for most part. If we make choices that do not lead to a better place, to greater spiritual wealth, to a bigger room, they will leave us empty and unfulfilled. Keep in mind that there is nothing wrong with material sufficiency for it is part of God’s plan. It is when materiality dominates our lives in such a way that our hearts close, rendering us unkind, unloving, cold and selfish that it becomes objectionable.

To proceed forward, to acquire true spiritual wealth, we need to learn to make right selfless choices, set clear goals and know where we are standing. We need a sense of clarity. In Divine Spirit, we will find clarity.
