My Soul had Placed Squarely Before Me....

Do you ever wonder if you have a purpose in life?  Have you ever, especially during the dark days, asked yourself why am I even here?  Perhaps it is something as simple as learning to handle your emotions.   It seems emotions are a very earthly type of thing. 
From this blogs oft quoted WALKING BETWEEN THE WORLDS by Gregg Braden:  “If you believe that each and every experience drawn to you, without exception, is your opportunity to demonstrate your mastery of life”... and from YOUR SOUL’S GIFT:  The Healing Power of the Life you Planned.”  by Robert Schwartz:  “In other incarnations I have been unable to achieve emotional independence, and these lives, too, played a role in my soul’s decision to choose my mother.  What is ‘emotional independence’?  When I put that question to Spirit, I was told that it means looking to oneself as the primary source of one’s well being.”  YOUR SOUL’S GIFT is Mr. Schwartz’s newest book and speaks so much to healing our lives by facing the beliefs and fears that confront us daily.   Another quote from that book:  “Again, my soul had placed squarely before me an issue in need of healing.”  Looking at the issues and the emotions in our lives, often, as in fact, our emotions are the issues, we can see what is in need of healing. 
 

Men have low self esteem and confidence too...

There is a lot of talk lately about increasing the self esteem and self confidence of women.  And I think this is important because I believe that the male/female energies are a bit weighted on the side of the male.  I also believe that balancing these feminine/masculine energies is what is bringing about the positive changes on the planet and its inhabitants.   
Having said that, Men have self esteem and self confidence issues also.   The way you can tell that you most likely have self esteem and self confidence issues are how well your life is working.   I have in past writings written about assessing your functioning levels in all areas by learning to know yourself, then making conscious efforts to learn about and improve in the areas most lacking.   With a man there is so much shame associated with a ‘life not working’ that it is difficult to seek help or even talk about it with anyone close to you.   And so we climb in our little self made shell never knowing how to get out.  There is a lot of help available.  Look for it:  On the book shelf, Google it, Ask God to help.  There are websites and websites on self esteem, self love, making your life work and so on.   You don’t have to settle as I did for a life where you marginally exist.   Make the intent to find out how to make your life work.  Then look for the signs and look for the assistance.  It is there...
