“The heart that seeks to awaken, to live genuinely, is more real than anything. That nameless drive calls you to be who you most truly are.”

~ Ezra Bayda~

Everything plays a role in your spiritual development. The awakened person lives in gratitude and joy, content within whatever the present moment offers. This peaceful sense of connectedness comes through spiritual maturity and is not tied to any desired outcome or reliant upon the actions of others.

Liberation from ones challenges is not about reaching a point where life flows without problems. We discover empowerment when we learn how to transform stumbling blocks into stepping stones. Be willing to let go of any deep feelings of unworthiness and step into a position of empowerment and personal responsibility. Only then will your life be transformed into an expression of pure love.

Once awakened, everything becomes an opportunity to rise above. Even the mundane challenges of daily life are integrated into our spiritual work. The next time you feel frustrated, annoyed, impatient or blocked, stop and ask yourself how the moment can be transformed through a shift in perception or conscious action.

Mastering the small, seemingly insignificant things cultivates the tools required to handle anything that may come your way.
