Your world become beautiful and you can see the beauty of nature. Everything in nature is there for us to learn in order to develop a beautiful life for ourselves in the personal level.

When you behold the vast ocean, your mind will automatically contemplate on abundance in your life; the ocean never dries and your mind makes a parallel with your life it will remind you that you will have abundance of everything in your life. Likewise, with the sands in the beach, the leaves of the trees, the stars up in the heavenly space, they are not only in incomparable exquisiteness to lift up your spirit but also to remind us on how God supplies all our needs according to the beauty and infinity of all the beautiful things in nature.

To establish a close relationship with nature is to constantly spend some time with it and try to understand the meaning of its beauty and the message that it is conveying to you. When you feel sad and lonely go out to the meadow, watch the beautiful wild flowers with various shapes and colors that are swayed by the gentle breeze, hear the singing birds that nature freely entertain you, understand the meaning, the melody of joy to cheer you. When you think you are poor go to the wood and try to count all the leaves f the trees or start star-gazing at the stars on a starry night, count as many as you can and know that as countless as the stars in the sky and the sands in the beach so are the ways that Nature provides for you.

If you love nature and has developed a durable relationship with it, you will understand the beauty and purpose of your life, you will understand what it is telling you according to beauty, creativity and abundance, your wisdom will guide you in all your endeavors and you will be blessed throughout your life.

The fact the we are souls only implies that we are not only physical but most importantly we are also spiritual beings in the physical embodiment. Our thoughts and emotions largely determine, direct and control our life situation and condition in the material plane of life. What you think, dream, desire and wish and plan for your life to become and happen are the works of the spirit world. You cannot see thoughts, dreams, desires and wishes of any human being unless he expresses them in words or draw or sketch and illustrate them in writing and in any devices to show its form and actual appearance.

Since these intangible inner works of our minds and soul are not seen, everyone is free to create his hidden world according to his desire and purpose. What is within so is the without of any human being. This means that what you create, imagine and dream of manifest in your material life.

But it is sad to observe that many people would say that they are just good in dreaming and imagining about beautiful things in life that could happen to them but none of these happen in their real life or material life. Do you agree with this notion? What happens to the saying “What you think is what you are or what you become?”

The difference lies in the fact that most people have not truly established rapport or tight relationship with the Almighty God or the Higher Spiritual Being who can make everything possible for the life of those humans who ask, believe, and claim what is intended for them in the individual level.

In every relationship to become harmonious and productive, communication is the prerequisite. Do you feel personal relationship with your God? Notice that I say “your God”. This means that your God may be Allah, Jesus, or any Spiritual Being that you have strong connection in the personal level. Personal relationship with the Spiritual Being means that you have lived all your life being guided by this Being in every step you take in your life’s journey.

None of us mortal beings have the right to judge anyone who does not believe in the God that we believe to be the only true God. If your God is true for you, others may have a God who is also true for them. The truth is every person in this planet is a true creature of God and a true part of this Universe and whoever these people believe to be the true God based on his personal experience is also true.

What is most important is the relationship one has established with the God who he believes to be the true God. It is not necessary to belong to a certain religious sect in order to establish a stable relationship with God or the powerful Spiritual Being in your life.

Having this very strong relationship with God is in itself a blessing in any relationship a person can have in the material plane. Harmonious relationship with the God of your life is equivalent to harmonious relationship a person can have with anyone and anything else in this life.

There are several stages of the quality of relationship in marriage. The first year is most often more physical attraction and activities between husbands and wives. Then there is the stage where the first child is born followed by some challenges in the marriage such as parenting methods and priorities, financial challenges as the family increases in number when more children come along.

Together both husband and wife learn to face challenges that come along for the sake of their family. They both should have mutual agreement as to how to handle every challenge and issues along the way, challenges about financial condition, household management, parenting, and jobs. To maintain a harmonious relationship in the family, the husband and the wife should have a mutual agreement on every issue in their family. This can only happen when both husband and wife have stable love between them, that kind of love that surpasses any obstacle in life.

Remember that a strong and successful family relationship depends so much on the quality of relationship between the father and the mother. This is the very reason why a single person, man or woman should be discreet and as much as possible avoid nonsense flirtations that may attract the wrong person to become the spouse. One wrong step in this stage of searching for a life partner can ruin a person’s life. It is better to start this relationship right and work on it in a moment by moment basis.

The most difficult time to start a family is in finding the perfect mate for marriage and this is the very reason why once the man and the woman had decided to marry, they should remain faithful to each other so that they can build a harmonious and prosperous family for themselves and their children in the future.

It has to be remembered that to live a happy and prosperous life one has to understand and live his life in harmonious relationships with himself, other people, his environment and with all objects he come in contact with.

Many miserable lives are caused by broken hearts, broken relationships and entanglements with anything that the person come in contact with in life. If a person does not truly know himself, does not know what he really wants then that is a very good reason that his life would become miserable along the way.

The idea of maintaining harmonious relationships with everybody and everything we come in contact with must not be taken for granted if you wish to live happily in this life. Living happily means that you are in harmonious relationship with yourself, with parents and siblings, with other blood relatives, with peers, with associates and with everyone you come in contact with.

Like I said, we are all social beings, and everyone we had associated in the process of socialization had contributed in one way or another to our development in the personal level. Even those acquaintances and friends we meet in the social media contribute to or influence our feelings and mental flows. Words are powerful to either inspire or discourage us in any of our endeavors and where do all these words come from? Words are spoken by people whether you know them personally or not and words are more powerful to influence our way of thinking especially when they come from our family members and close relatives.

Let me ask you, who is your close relative in your childhood aside from siblings and parents that you can never forget because you had spent lots of happy moments together? Remember the happy days and the sweet memories with relatives because those moments define the background of your emotional state.

It is therefore the responsibility of each member of the family to maintain harmony in their relationship in any way they can.

Love, respect, and consideration for each member’s personality differences are basic requirements to maintain harmonious relationship in the family circle.
A family that is able to maintain peace and harmonious relationship among members will harvest blessings and each will be successful in any fields of specialization that each member endeavors to achieve.

Each sibling should devote to the harmony of the family relationship rather than behaving like you are a burden to the family.

Many broken families are a result to having just one member, say the father or the mother or the eldest child, to carry all the burdens in the family in all aspects especially in the financial supports for the family.

Each member of the family has a role to play. The parents work hard to support the children in all their financial needs and this is one of the many important reasons why children should love and respect their parents. The children should do their part in taking care of themselves a ell especially in their studies. The children are the parent’s dream for a wonderful future, they are the blessings for the parents and the children should acknowledge their parent’s love and dreams for them.

Life is beautiful only and only if we live harmoniously with everything that we are related to.

Basic to all relationships is the relationship with the self. Following are the basic qualities that one should have with the self;
1. Love yourself unconditionally;
2. Forgive yourself;
3. Accept and embrace all your personal qualities, experiences, situations and conditions in life;
4. You must be all for yourself when everything else point their fingers at you;
5. Be honest with yourself
6. Constantly appreciate yourself for all the good things in you and the good deeds you have done to yourself and others;
7. Agree and affirm to yourself your innermost desires.

Remember that if you have a harmonious relationship with yourself, all the rest of your other relationships will be as harmonious and life will be beautiful and abundant for you.

Now I would like to elaborate each of the qualities of relationships I have enumerated above.

Love yourself unconditionally:

Loving yourself unconditionally means loving without pre-qualifying. It’s not “loving because…” such as loving because you are the most beautiful or you are the best person you know. It’s not comparing yourself to others or it’s not a conceited type of loving. It’s loving yourself for being alive, creative and having all the potentials of being human. Your attitude of loving yourself unconditionally will overflow so that you can love others too just as well.
Forgive yourself:

We make mistakes, all humans do, we are not perfect just as the rest of humanity. You see your defects and weaknesses, you have to, you have to admit your mistakes otherwise how and what will you forgive yourself if you don’t see what mistakes you do?

Everybody has physical defects too, even beauty queens in the universal levels have physical flaws. You know and see your defects, emotionally, intellectually and physically, you have to know and see them in yourself yet even with all these defects and flaws you can love yourself unconditionally and you have to forgive yourself for despising yourself for having the defects and flaws. It’s only in forgiving yourself that you can love and accept yourself completely and unconditionally.

Sometimes we feel guilty for the wrong doings we accord other people. Do not make justifications just accept that you did something horribly wrong then forgive yourself and assure yourself that you are capable of not repeating those wrong doings.

Accept and embrace all your personal qualities, experiences, situations and conditions in life:

To accept and embrace your personal qualities, experiences, situations and conditions in life means that there is no place for complaints in your mind and in your whole mental attitudes and behaviors. Do you like the company of a person who complains about just anything around him?

Maintain a grateful attitude and count your blessings. Remember that life is a variety of objects, series of incidents and conditions; if you feel like you are unlucky in life or that none of your wishes and prayers are answered favorably then complaining just perpetuate the condition, complaining doesn’t help. To be grateful for what you already posses and experienced helps to invite and multiply your blessings.

If you feel like you are not lucky enough to qualify as beautiful physically or as intelligent as you wish you should be, then don’t be sad or angry with yourself or your parents or God, such attitude won’t help to change the situation; think of something that could make you feel better and thank God you are alive equipped with a creative mind that is capable of making some changes and start counting your blessings.

You must be all for yourself when everything else point their fingers at you

Nobody and nothing can let you down if you won’t allow it. Remember to take your side in any conflict because nobody else knows you as much as you know yourself. No one else is with you every second of your life throughout your life so be a reliable and dependable person for yourself.

Constantly appreciate yourself for all the good things in you and the good deeds you have done to yourself and others.

Write down or talk to yourself quietly or aloud enumerating those happy moments and your true self.

Self-talk yourself like the following;
1. I am beautiful.
2. I am intelligent.
3. I am creative.
4. I am rich.
5. I am healthy.
6. I am lovable.

And more similar to all these whether you can believe it or not just self-talk yourself repeatedly with those wonderful words that you can imagine or yourself.
Agree and affirm to yourself your innermost desires.

Honor your desires and dream or imagine yourself already having those dreams come true. See yourself living in the dream. This is one way of agreeing with yourself and honoring your desires.

Life would be lonely, sad, miserable, deprived, poor and devoid of any excitement and enthusiasm without any relationship at all.

But relationship is not just with another human; we have some types of relationships as follow;
1. Relationship with oneself;
2. Relationship with other humans;
3. Relationship with other living things such as plants and animals;
4. Relationship with objects, animate or inanimate.
5. Relationship with God, Nature and the Universe.

Relationships are meant to be beautiful, productive, harmonious and blissful which objective is to keep a person happy and enjoy life. Happy emotions and nourishment are a necessary component to maintain a harmonious relationship.

Relationships should be harmonious otherwise it will lose the essence of its objective. When the relationship sours then separation occurs or else both parties will just hurt each other and destroy each other’s’ existence eventually.

Next topic will be the discussion on each type of relationship.

The journey continues on and on with so many adventures involving relationships. Relationship with himself, with objects around him, with animals, with plants with people and with nature or God and his creations.

In this lifetime journey we meet so many challenges and struggles that if taken wisely we will continue to be victorious in life just as we started to be victorious during conception. Every human being alive is meant to continue living a victorious life. Failure is for those who did not make it into human. The so-called failures in life are actually just lessons to be learned and to encourage humans to use their creative and analytic abilities.
A lifetime journey is filled with colorful experiences and challenging adventures.

The truth is, there’s more to life than what you are seeing and hearing in your immediate environment.

Following are suggestions of what to do in whatever life situation that is trapping you:
1. Dare to dream the impossible. If you think it is impossible for you to go to school and finish a degree then dream it. If you think it is impossible for you to live a life having everything you need for comfort and luxury, then don’t worry…it is impossible for you? Then dream it, to dream is possible, right?
2. Affirm your dreams regularly through writing and spoken words.
3. When a wonderful idea comes up in your mind write them down and do it immediately.
4. Stop complaining about your difficult situation, look at the beauty and brighter side of life and let them be the contents of your mind regularly and permanently.
5. When negative thoughts try to invade your mind and feelings, think and say the opposite; for example, if your thoughts say “it’s impossible for me to get out from my very poor condition in life” say the opposite “it’s possible and easy for me to live a rich and beautiful life.” If your mind says “it’s impossible for me to find the man who can truly love me” say the opposite “my perfect match come to me easily and effortlessly” and so forth and so on depending on the specific situation that you are in…just say the opposite of that dilemma that trap you, the mind works in opposites.

Remember that life is an adventure of twists and turns and one has to deal each of these with the power that is inherent in every living human. Wise people deal every situation in their lives using their personal power and strength so that their efforts emanate from within.
