Dear readers,

First of all, I’d like to wish you all a very Happy and fruitful New Year 2010.
A year has gone, a new one has come. Each year gives us the fantastic opportunity to put last year’s events into an objective perspective, enlightening its weaknesses and strong points. Most importantly are the events that taught us something. Sometimes we are very open minded about receiving life’s teachings in full acceptance and sometimes we might neglect some important aspects of it.
Even when you are a focused person with some precise goals, you got to pay attention to detail.

When, for instance, some events become recurrent in your life and you don’t like them, you have to question what exactly makes them happen. Year after year, I think that I was carrying the burden of my past, and by refusing the simple act of forgiveness I kept myself the prisoner of many events. Let me remind you that when you hate somebody, you literally become the prisoner of your object of hatred. This year I decided to apply FULL FORGIVENESS in my life and I saw great changes happenning.

I feel liberated. I am no longer the prisoner of my enemies. I simply let go the past and gave love instead of resentment.

Besides the act of forgiveness, I also decided to be responsible for my thoughts and actions: in short I decided to get rid of limitations and negative thoughts. You might object: how am I supposed to react when events don’t really match my deepest desires? You always have the choice to respond in a positive way. In those “unpleasant” happenings, there might be a hidden blessing.

Acceptance and permanent positive thinking will create positive outcomes in your life…all you have to do is to BELIEVE.

I am very grateful for 2009’s teachings…I am now ready to welcome 2010 with open heart and open arms. Let’s all make the best of it!

Peace and blessings to all of you:)

P.S : hopefully I will be back soon for some more reviews and interviews. I apologize to you for my long absence, as I am very busy at the moment.

A lot of people are actually hoping for a better future. However, their current living conditions or external circumstances seem to prevent them from being happy. So they keep complaining with a gloomy spirit and non hidden dissatisfied faces. The more they are complaining, the more they seem to be hit by adverse circumstances. In addition, these people will nourish their angriness towards past circumstances. This is a common mistake that will leave your heart in chains. Forgive-let the past go for good, as you cannot change whatever might have happened.

Your present circumstances might not look as good as you’d wish, but if you really wanna change them, you need to change your own perception of things. The way you look at things and the way you think are the major components that actually determine the life you are living.
If you believe in bad luck, misfortune and poverty, they will become a reality.

If you are caught into a circle of negative thinking, it is never too late to reverse the process!

The first rule is to be grateful about what you have and stop complaining about things you don’t have. If you learn, day after day, to thank God for the many blessings He brought into your life, you will get even more blessings in return. But what do you expect him to do if you’re not happy with what He gave you? It is indeed a spiritual law: the more grateful you’ll be, the better your chances are to be blessed in abundance.

Consider each day as a new beginning. With the right attitude, a positive spirit, a “can do” attitude, you will work wonders.

Once you are totally committed to positive thinking, sit back and relax, envision the future the way you want it. Don’t forget to let go stress and worries for good. Take at least 10 minutes a day to visualize the materialization of your accomplished dream. If you are persistent enough, you will see it happen.

Remember that nothing’s impossible, but you gotta act now. With the right, empowered vision you will soon be able to sing along with Louis Armstrong ” What A Wonderful World”. The world is shining, exposing its multiple treasures and bright jewels: all you have to do is to open your eyes all around you and enjoy your present time.

A lot of people only show respect to the clean, classy and wealthy people. A lot of people are following religion’s principles, but seem to forget about the mains spiritual reality: God judges you by your acts, as your daily way of acting is deeply intertwined with your REAL beliefs.

My advice to all of you readers would be not to despise anybody. Remember that God comes to you in so many different disguises. It could be the begger next street or the child next door. Well, if you despise the begger or the poor, how will you be ready to welcome the king?

In spiritual matters, persons are not valued by their material possessions, but by their hearts. If you are rude and heartless, either change your ways or God will reject you in the end.

The Holy Scriptures abound in multiple examples. Before being anointed, King David was the smallest and the most humble goat keeper you could find. He became one of the most respected king of Israel.
God loves humbleness, that’s why he often chooses the most humble people to teach you about life. I myself have learnt more from modest people.
Not only the Bible, but real life teaches you not to feel superior to anybody. Some greedy girls might have missed a prince in the poor guy they despised and rejected because of his lack of financial means.

My advice is: open your heart, open your ears. Be nice to most people unless they are rude to you. It could be God or an angel in disguise talking to you.
Treat your neighbor the way you’d like to be treated in return and God will bless you in so many ways.
