They work best when read (or written) twice a day while trying to visualize each affirmation vividly in your mind. © 2009 – 2014, Lekatt. All rights reserved. Spirituality protects and helps us to cope with life on all levels. Those who understand their own spiritual nature are better at handling the ups and downs of life than those who don’t understand. Many of the most successful progams use spiritual teaching. Spirituality provides the anchor people need to help them through the rough times, providing incentive for changes they need to make. This is especially true with those near death. It brings comfort and peace in the time of greatest need. The practice of believing in, and honoring a higher intelligence (God) goes back as far as mankind. From cave paintings through modern writing, God has been a part of the human existence on earth. Near Death Experiences prove there is a higher intelligence, and that we are loved and cared for by it. Those with problems need to know this. It provides hope for the future. It provides a meaning and purpose for their existence and the incentive to change. NDEs have provided an incentive to change for all who experience them. I was not changed by my Near Death Experience. I saw within it the need to change, it was the most powerful incentive for change in my entire life. © 2009, Lekatt. All rights reserved. Self-Confidence. Faith in oneself and in one’s powers and abilities. People usually build Self-Confidence through experience. The more you practice the piano, the more confident you become in playing it. But some things in life can’t be practiced before undertaken. So confidence becomes faith. Faith in yourself, that you can do what you know, and learn to do, what you don’t know. Every day you are confronted with opportunities to do new and different things. Don’t be afraid you will fail, because you probably will the first time. Failure is learning to succeed. Keep trying. Keep embracing change in your life and your confidence will grow and grow. First a leap of faith, then work, learn, and understand your way to the mastery of self-confidence. “Self-confidence is two-thirds of success.” Anonymous (Proverb) © 2009, Lekatt. All rights reserved. We are all engaged in service to others in some way. Most don’t appreciate the products made, or the services given by companies, organizations, and institutions as benefitting others. These are the workplaces of our country. If they weren’t helpful to others how could they exist? Commerce is people helping each other in a multitude of ways. Exchanging values for other values needed in life. Spiritual service is entirely different, it is giving from the heart with no expectation of anything in return. Spiritual giving is the most fullfilling thing you can do in life. It is a healing for both the giver and the one who receives the gift. It is not a burden, but a blessing. Giving money may or may not be spiritual service. Depends on the attitude of the giver. Mother Teresa was known to turn down large gifts of money, asking the potential giver to come work beside her. She wanted them to see and feel the good their money would do. She wanted them to be helped along with the poor receiving the donation. You could volunteer for some worthy organization needing help. Many near death experiencers have volunteered to work in Hospice with patients in the last stages of their life. Help someone learn to read at the library. Visit someone in a nursing home. I know from experience many of these people have family that almost never come to visit. Offer to run errands or drive an elderly or sick neighbor to doctor appointments. Visit them often. Keep packed snacks in your car for those who are asking for money or food at street corners. Find the spiritual service you like best and do it. There is no end to the opportunities for service. Helping others is helping yourself. Just being a good listener for a troubled teen is spiritual service to others. The world needs a lot of good listeners right now. Don’t judge, just listen and love. © 2009, Lekatt. All rights reserved. |
