Building Heaven

You have a divine “Godly” soul.  Your soul’s purpose is to learn to create a joyful, loving existence WHEREVER you exist.  Think about this, what is the one constant you are aware of?  Change--everything changes.  We are all growing, changing, learning, evolving--.and we always will be.  Why should we think that ‘heaven’ would be a place where our progress and learning ends?  To learn and progress you need change.  With change comes challenges--and, yes, the chance to succeed or fail.  And after that comes another chance and another.  In any given moment of your existence in this life or after, you are given the opportunity to experience love in any of its forms.  The goal is to find its most joyous and unconditional form, and the challenge is to try to bring that love into every moment.  But as the saying goes, you have to be able to love yourself before you can love anyone else.  So, our most humanly challenge is that of believing that we are deserving of this unconditional love.  You noticed, I hope, that I said ‘believing.’  We are all worthy of this type of love and quite capable of giving it as well.  The problem is we don’t believe it anymore.  This is where big changes need to occur -  in the area of our beliefs.

It is intended that we all find our ‘state of Grace’ or the Grace Zone.  However, because we are trying to convince ourselves that we are worthy of this love, we have gotten so caught up in trying to make other people happy that most of us have lost that state of grace and really don’t know where to begin in order to regain it.  We feel guilty when we put our own needs before those of others.  So here are a couple of simple rules.

First Rule:  You have to take responsibility for your own happiness.
