Ganesha- Remover of Problems or Obstacles

Ganesh Chathurthi

Talking about complaining,  I see most people are constantly engaged in complaining or blaming other people,  life situations or about things in life. This is the biggest hurdle to any harmony with relationships or life in general.   There are a ways to handle problems or difficult situations in life and we have apply it appropriately..  and that’s the wisdom we need..
This situation will change.  Take responsibility to change it.
This situation will never change.  Accept the situation and find work arounds or creative alternative solutions
Surrender and accept and live through it learning from it if neither of the above is possible.
Pray with gratitude to the divine to guide us and give us the wisdom to choose the right path..
Ultimately life is about the choices we make

Four Principles of Metaphysics

It is not important whether you are spiritual or believe in God .... But the four principles of metaphysics apply to all from the moment one is born n until our last breath !!

The First Principle states: "Whomsoever you encounter is the right one" ... This means that no one comes into our life by chance. Everyone who is around us, anyone with whom we interact, represents something, whether to teach us something or to help us improve a current situation.

The Second Principle states: "Whatever happened is the only thing that could have happened" ... Nothing, absolutely nothing of that which we experienced could have been any other way. Not even in the least important detail. There is no "If only I had done that differently, then it would have been different". NO .. What happened is the only thing that could have taken place and must have taken place for us to learn n evolve in order to move forward. Every single situation in life which we encounter is absolutely perfect, even when it defies our understanding and our ego.

The Third Principle states: "Each moment in which something begins is the right moment" ... Everything begins at exactly the right moment, neither earlier nor later. This is because we are subconsciously ready for the new experience or challenge.

The Fourth Principle states: "What is over, is over"
... It is very simple. When something comes to an end, it helps us evolve. Hence, enriched by the recent experience, it is better to let go and move on.

Is it a coincidence that you're here reading this ???

If these words strike a chord, it's because you meet the requirements and understand that not one single snowflake falls accidentally in the wrong place !!

Just be good to yourself. Always be happy ...
Love like there's no tomorrow. And if tomorrow comes, well. Love again .
