How to Master Your Spiritual Destiny

For me, there is no one particular approach or technique in discovering how to become a master of my spiritual destiny. As a matter of truth, I have not really mastered any one thing fully. Every day, every situation in some way is the same yet in some ways, different, so... What I have done though is become better in some things today and I was say, a couple of months ago, a year ago, 10 years ago or even a lifetime(s) ago. My reminder is, "A little progress in many areas is better than no progress in most." n
I do have some spiritual exercises and techniques that I diligent and consciously practice on a daily basis (http://www.BeeBlessedDaily.com). Some of them I practice when I'm in the midst of one of life's challenges or a worrisome situation or a problem or an answer I need to resolve. Many of you may already practice some of these techniques or perhaps have heard or read about them on your jou
ey. I have listed my daily spiritual exercises for you to use or modify and use to fit your own unique self.
1. Every morning before I start my day, I fill my heart with love.
- I sing a love song to God, The Source, Divine Spirit…I sing or chant the word HU (sounds like the word hew). Then I contemplate. Some people pray or meditate.
- I write a Gratitude List. I list everything that I am grateful for before my day begins. (A couple of my favorites are: I AM grateful for the gift of another day, I AM grateful for life and what life reveals to me today.)
• I write in my my Days of Soul Jou
al every single morning! Sometimes I pen about a dream jou
ey I had the night before, a feeling I may have upon arising, my thoughts at that moment.
- Taking responsibility for everything that happens for me has been one of the best
- On a separate sheet of paper I write 15 times, I AM declarations. (Some of my favorites are: I AM a Divine Spark of God; I AM in accord with God's Will and God's perfect plan for me).
- As my day unfolds, I make it a point to be awake and aware and I consciously do my daily tasks in the name of God and Divine Spirit, which includes all that I do, say, how I act and respond, and I do everything for the good of the whole. I AM a happy, healthy spiritual being; I AM in accord with God's will and God's perfect plan for me.
- As my day unfolds, I consciously do everything in the name of Divine Spirit, which includes everything I do, say, think, feel and how I act and respond. Whatever task I perform, I do with love and for the good of the whole.
• Every day I write in my Day of Soul Jou
al. I sometimes write about a dream experience, if I had one the night before or a waking dream that I had during the day, the day before; or what I'm feeling at that moment...
• Taking responsibility for everything that happens for me has been, by far, one of the best spiritual exercises I've put into practice. It is the one spiritual exercise that has brought me the most on my jou
ey. n
I cherish the gift of life. Going within for answer and for guidance is my mainstay rather than solely relying upon reason and logic; by listening to my inner nudges and my Spiritual Master, which resides within and then, taking action. “If you don't know where you want to go, any road will take you there.” Do the absolute very best that you can do, do it with love and for love, be the best you that you are capable of at the moment, surrender and leave the rest to Divine Spirit. n
May the blessings be!

Here's the Good News About Life: IT IS ALL GOOD
As we become more aware and attuned to the multi-dimensional nature of both the Universe and OURSELVES, we create many opportunities for growth. An important aspect of growth is honoring the many facets of who we are. We cannot "hang out in the ethers" to escape Earthly events, nor can we deny that we are "spiritual beings having a human experience." Most of my early life I operated as a warrior who marched into situations braced by the armor of my convictions. Though this served me well in the past, I've learned that it is no longer necessary, or even desirable.

CREATIVE WAYS TO DEAL WITH ADVERSITY
It's important, I find, to recall and re-use old tools that have proven helpful in difficult situations in the past. Sometimes we think we've moved so far forward that a "Been there, done that!" attitude clouds our memory and limits our options. Fear is an ongoing challenge in this world so we need all the assistance we can muster.

PAYING ATTENTION TO THE COSMIC TUMBLERS
In the movie ‘Field of Dreams,” Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) quotes author Terence Mann (James Earl Jones ) as saying: “There comes a time when all the cosmic tumblers have clicked into place — and the universe opens itself up for a few seconds to show you what’s possible.” In the film, Terence Mann also laments the tragic fact that most folks aren't even aware of that opening when it occurs, so they never walk through the doors that will lead them into their life's potential.

Toxic People or Situation? LEAVE IT IN THE 'MYSTERY'
All of us will encounter toxic individuals and circumstances in our lives at one time or another. During those experiences we need to use whatever helpful tools we can find to stay balanced and clear about "who we are." One of the methods I use to maintain perspective is to create a "healthy level of detachment." Healthy, because I still have my heart engaged, but am detached enough not to be running amuck in an emotional minefield.
