Become radiant

Throughout your journey on Earth, you plan on future travels. You design your destination through your thoughts, words, and deeds. You may choose to be a compassionate and lovely person. You may as well decide to be a hateful, avenger, and judgmental being. You map out your destination at will. To travel to a specific goal, you create your itinerary internally. But remember that the roads already exist; you will cross over existing footprints. The paths may be luminous or dark. It all depends on your choice.
Dangers or opportunities await you, but your actions will lead you to the destiny you deserve. It is up to you to decide on quicksand, swamps, dangerous forests, or fertile plains and parks filled with flowers and birds. The branch of a rose has both the thorns and the flowers; your mind makes a choice. It would help to be internally radiant, fulfilling your journey.

Watch thoughts and words

We need to continuously cleanse our inner consciousness to live in love, peace, harmony, and compassion. We must not hold thoughts or utter words that upset others. In doing so, we can jeopardize any friendship or love we made years to build. Negative thoughts and words are dangerous weapons that hurt others and impede progress. To keep our relationships healthy, give priority to love, beauty, and other positive values. It is essential to create harmony among us to move forward on any project. We will go far on our goal only when we feel united psychically and spiritually in our group or community. We need to reach a higher level of understanding to maintain healthy relationships. And that is the way to create peace, tranquility, and happiness amongst all.

Don’t let your thoughts and words be poison to you and those around you.

Seek peace

The Holy Bible says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” Colossians 3:15

No one can be at peace if certain personal and social conditions are not fulfilled. For instance, when your mind is disturbed by the desire for privileges, promotion, profits, or honor, you can’t be at peace. Those conditions are personal. You can mentally work through them and make inner peace.

However, certain situations are external, and their solutions don’t depend on you. Any changes should involve the community or country where you live. How to ask someone who lives in a risky country to be tranquil, poised, and at peace? You can’t be calm in a place where your life is at the mercy of hazards? How to ask people living in a country where they can’t go about their daily business without thinking of kidnappers? The first thing that crosses their minds is that if they could kidnap religious persons, why not us. When you know that the place you live in is like a dormant volcano, unhappiness torments you. Peace and sadness don’t go alongside.

According to Malcolm X, “You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.”

It’s easy to treat personal needs mentally and get peace. However, freedom is one condition to make peace if the problems are external. Seek first your freedom, and then you will automatically find peace.

Build a better world

To make the world better, we need to help others and care for the poor. Therefore, we must develop our potentials and create goods for everyone. The scriptures say, “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done.” (Proverbs 19:17)

Leaders should be conscious of their missions and develop strategies to reduce poverty. When they fail to do so, they encourage a volcanic eruption. We must accept others with their flaws and educate them as needed. If each individual becomes better, the collective consciousness will automatically change positively. If we ensconce ourselves within the security of our wealth and believe that everything goes smoothly, we are sailing through all sorts of illusions. When we don’t assist those in need, we create disparities and endanger ourselves. That is why we need to look at the world with eyes filled with love and create possibilities for others to be as happy as we are. “With the realization of one’s potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world,” says the Dalai Lama.

Rely upon God

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul and guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” (Psalm 23: 1-4)

When you rely upon God, you shall be happy, prosperous, and well. You shall not be afraid of financial hardship, diseases, and human or natural disasters. Nothing shall make you despair or cause damage to your life. You have the power to conquer all your enemies regardless of their nature. Therefore, use your willpower as a sword and your mind as a shield. Daniel has survived the lion’s den, and Hercules has gloriously performed deeds. You are mentally unlimited and can use your willpower to get rid of any situations. We are all at the mercy of the ebb and flow of uncertainties, but we will survive if we seek our safety through God.

Leave it to God

When people can’t solve a problem, they always say to leave it to God because He is always the last approver.

Your medical report may make you despair. Your liabilities may exceed your assets. All rest upon God’s approval. According to Joel Osteen, “When you focus only on feelings of discouragement and loneliness, you may not be able to foresee anything good happening in your life. But when you consider God, you realize your best days are ahead. Your future will be brighter than your past. The greatest victories are not behind; they are in front of you.”

But also bear in mind that even if your wealth is of great worth, and you are very healthy, do not be too confident. All may disappear in a split second. May you be poor or rich, healthy or sick, leave everything to God.

Create conditions for peace

It is unrealistic to think you can enjoy your comfort zone and not care for those in need. Everyone is seeking peace, but it is not possible without the proper conditions. The scriptures say, “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11:25)

If you are eating goose every day while others in your neighborhood don’t even have food on their tables, you are not in peace. If you own many luxurious cars while others in your community are pedestrians, you cannot sleep peacefully. If you live in a castle nearby a ghetto, you cannot live in peace. Have you built schools for kids of schooling ages? Are there hospitals for people in need? Is the price of commodities affordable? If you haven’t done so, you are not generous. Generosity gives rise to harmony.

You can be in peace only if you create the proper conditions for others to live as human beings.

Equality

We are all created equal regardless of age, color, ethnicity, gender, or nationality. However, since the night of time, some people reject the concept of equality. The Holy Bible says, “My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the delicate dress and you tell him to sit in a good place. And in contrast, you tell the poor man to stand over there or sit down at his feet, have you not then made distinctions among yourself and become judges with evil thoughts?” James 2:1-4

Lack of equality creates frustration, war, and violence throughout the world. Unfair treatment also occurs to people living in the same country. When governments don’t develop proper conditions for the minority, no one can live in peace and tranquility. Here is how Malcolm X predicts the consequences of social inequalities, “I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those that do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice, and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation.”

As spiritual leaders, our mission is to cover humanity continuously with vibrations of peace, love, and harmony. But inequality amongst people refrains the light from shining through some hearts.

Prepare for a bright future

Please don’t spend your time focusing on the past; it’s a waste of time. You cannot stop a past event. Of course, the lesson it left may serve to better prepare for future ones. But some people make a habit of referring to what they have accomplished while their present time is chaos and no preparation for the future. To move forward, you must consider the past for what it has been and move on to a brighter future. The way they build vehicles can give a better understanding of past and future events. A car has a big windshield on the front and a little bitty rearview mirror. The windshield is to prevent what’s ahead of you, and the rearview mirror represents the past. Please do not focus on the mirror; use it as needed.

To change your life, take the habit of visualizing a healthy and prosperous future.
