If you judge
others, the entire chemistry of your body changes dramatically. You may start
feeling angry or anxious. Your stomach hurts. Your back aches and you don't
understand why. Your vision blurs. Frown lines furrow your brow. You start to
feel burdened. You can't stop thinking about what the other person did to
bother you. Chances are that this person isn't even aware of the effect he or
she is having on you. This happens often when someone borrows money from and
you don't know how to say, no. After giving the money to him or her, you can't
stop worrying if this person is going to pay you back. Here you can apply the
lesson. Don't judge. After all, everything is in the past. You already gave the
money away. Let it go and enjoy the now.
The present is all
you have. Stop judging. Stop judging others and stop judging yourself.
Remember, the Universe is perfect and everything happens for a reason. God is
teaching great lessons that if you see them in the events, you will grow
spiritually. Relax, enjoy, grow and live always in the present. The past is
gone, the future doesn't exist, all you have is the present, enjoy it, don't
waste it. Your preoccupation with the future may be just a figment of your
imagination. "No life is so hard that you can't make it easier by the way
you take it." - Ellen Glasgow
Any time you get
stuck in the past, ponder over the wisdom of Helen Keller's words: "When
one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the
closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." When
you live in the present, you never suffer for nothing. You are always happy
because you know your mission here is to be happy and enjoy every single second
of your life. You find God in every breath you take, in the clean smell
after a summer rain, in the Good Samaritan who stopped to help change your flat
tire. God is everywhere. Never ask, where is God? Be more objective and ask,
where is he not?
You will discover
that even those who offend you are angels of God. They are messengers of God to
teach you to live a better life. You will discover that problems are illusions.
Illusions your ego creates to take advantage of your lower levels of energy, that
is to say, your lower levels of awareness. God is in you, God is you. God is
everywhere. When you feel alone or separated from him, this is by your choice.
You have chosen to behave in a way that differs from God's plans for you. But
that's OK. Don't feel guilty. Everything is part of the perfect orchestration
of the Universe. And when you finally understand the lessons, your only
choice or reaction will be to enjoy life fully.
