It is the Intention that Matters

You either travel up, or down. You cannot make decisions for yourself. For they are made with idols or with GOD.
(A Course in Miracles)

It’s ok to be in difficult relationships. It is unfortunately often part of life to struggle professionally. Challenges don’t have to drain our energies, hopelessness does.

Life is here to heal us. Struggles and pain offer us the opportunity to let go of the past, and to gain the wisdom for the future. The true deal-breaker comes when our intentions are no longer kosher in what we do.

When we have our eyes towards GOD it does not matter that our journey is messy, and our steps are powered by our ego. Life will heal us and make us whole along the WAY. Yet, if the intention is not kosher, the ego will lead us into a spiritual desert.

The Course in Miracles states “Brother, take not one step in the descent to hell. For having taken one, you will not recognize the rest for what they are. And they will follow.” That’s why spirituality warns us against temptations.

Engage with life, messy as it is. Withdraw when you can no longer see what you are fighting for. With pure intentions at heart, watch how life will increasingly allow you to express your SELF.
