Faith? This was a word that implied religion to me before.As my life progressed and Spirituality became my focus; Faith has a complete different meaning now. Yes, I do feel connected to a Higher Power and Higher Self now. It feels like my Soul/Higher Self and this Higher Power have an un-interrupted connection and so I have Faith in only Good or call it God, whichever.
This Faith translates into a warm secure feeling inside of me at all times, despite what comes my way in Life. Fear seems to be minimal and even when it appears, Faith seems to send it away, pretty rapidly. Fear seems to be the main motivator for everything ugly in the world, as it is overwhelming and takes one over, if you let it. It is an ego based aspect of the human being, that is very powerful.
Having a handle on fear through Faith has meant a Happy and Content Life to me for years. How does One get to this level of Faith? A Clean,Sober, Healthy and Loving way of Living does the trick….

                                                         A Wonderful Secret I discovered through the 12 step programme. And thought I would like to share this with You. My Part in It. ¨It ¨signifies Anything and Everything in Life from a thought, feeling, action, interaction with another, any situation etc.

                            Whatever It may be, positive or negative, if I just focus on My Part in It, I Empower myself to the full. As I am powerless to change anything but myself, by my seeing what My Part is in It, I give myself all the Power possible to Change It!

                                      Let´s take an example. If I have an argument with someone, and then just stop and check how and why, it accrued from my side, I will realise that it was due to me being tired, fearful, upset, hungry, angry anyway, sad, worried etc etc. The point being, is that I was not in a good state already,and so flared up.

                                  So by just looking at My part in It, I can actually find the source of anything that happens in my life and therefore take Full responsibility for Myself, Empower Myself and conseuently Change My Life for the Better…

                                                                             I have to admit I am rather confused presently. Why is the world just not responding to events that are stating the obvious?? It seems to me,that everyone is pissed off with the way, Life is right now, beacuse it is believed, that only a few seem to have all the comforts, and therefore,what is understood to be, Happiness. The rest feel they are only struggling to survive. And this is seen in various degrees all over the world. I must confess I am very comfortable in my Life in every way…

                              Why am I? This is because when I hit my rock bottom 11 years ago, out of no conscious choice of mine, I add hastily;I slowly began to realise,that, I had been living in excess for all of my life, really. As I had to make do with a lot,lot, less, suddenly, it then became clear to me,very quickly,that Idid not need anywhere,as much, as I had been used to. I am actually talking about everything, not just material….

                 This was my prelude to what I have now. Freedom from Bondage! I have since then, done the process of Downsizing in All Areas of my Life and the Freedom comes from within and by not needing all that stuff!  And the Giving Up of Material Excess can be replaced with Qualities of Inner Peace, Generosity, Gratitude, Sharing, and many many more but the main one being Love! So when we, The Human Race realise this very simple but poignant fact that we do not need anywhere near as much of anything, and do the Inner process described above,we will be Free and then Happy….And the fighting and violence will cease! And a proper re-distribution of all resources can be done all over the world and then maybe one and all can have enough of the basics to start with….And the follow up of the principle of  Being can come in, allowing the one of  Having to go…….
