SPIRITUAL SUNDAY , NOV 9,2014..
  Well another nice and relaxing day in Socal. I have lived all around the world.. Philippines, Japan, Washington State, Florida , Oakland Ca , Long Beach .. San Diego , etc.. and One thing is certain. Everyone wants to live stress free or crime free. But we all know not everyone is on good terms with God , with life or with themselves.. Its a shame because I have seen people , good hearted people. but simply are lost , misguided or troubled bout things that have no relevancy in their lives. But some people , get caught up with, Why has this happened to me? Or why do they hate me, or why do I get taken advantage of? We all have been used and abused by family , friends, fellow students, etc. and alot of us think .. Its always me.. ? But I realize , everyone gets used and abused and its those that have a realistic approach in life ,, you can overcome obstacles, misfortunes, worries,, hard ships,, Its just life... We all will lose someone close , we all will get disappointed , or make mistakes,, We will for the rest of our lives. But don't take it so hard.. Because that's what life is.. Its a spiritual journey , guided by our own fears , ambitions, goals.. But we must move on.. Its easy to give up , it takes true character to keep going.. and for alot of us.. Whats important is family , future  , retirement years.. We all have to plan for it.. Either by establishing goals and plans, or just educating oneself , every Day , every hour.. Learning is life long. Nobody knows everything , we all need advice or tips once in awhile, A wise person takes all information into account and makes their own decisions in life.. Nothing in life comes easy, it takes time to achieve anything. I realize that life is a constant cycle of ups and downs and overcoming trouble and issues, no matter what.. Nothing stays the same.. even though we feel or believe it should be that way. But its like your garden or yard... Some plants grow well. others seem to struggle an others simply don't survive.. No matter what.. It seems some people chive more than others and others seem to struggle. Its just life.. But , I feel the ones that have a spiritual well being , a belief in being good and doing good for others ,, you will have the blessings in life. I believe my blessings in my life , because I love my family , I think about whats good for them and i want to provide for them, no matter what. Its what makes you or others you know a good parent , a good friend,  good lover,  good person. I really believe " karma " is a real spiritual happening. I have seen it , when I help people. I feel good and I get feel good things happen to me.. But those times when I was angry , upset and causing verbal . mental or physical discomfort.. it comes back to you with more energy and hatred.. I know through experience, life waits on no one,, if you let it ride you , it will ride you , but if you control your emotions, nd have faith that things will come true.. They will. I have seen it.. When I first joined the navy mny years go. I never thought it would be a life changing and career spending event. But often times the best things that happen if life , is where you have to work hard and earn your respect,, than the easy come easy go things that happen in your life... I found that when you have to work hard for anything , you appreciate things. Like career, like my wife  and my kids.. I worked hard to provide for them and I worked hard to make sure they understand life is not easy.. If you want anything, you have to work hard and appreciate what you have because , anything in life can be taken away at a moments notice.. Now that I have lived a long life , 50 years and counting, I don't take things for granted, because I have lost loved ones, friends, shipmate's,, etc, when you lest expect it.. and don't get me wrong.. It hurt me many times over.. But I know,. You have to enjoy each day , you are here on earth because,, being positive and having faith , will help you overcome the obstacles in life,, Because turning to drinking , drugs, dangerous driving , or gambling are not stress reliefs.. They are just ways to escape.. By guess what,,, no matter how hard you party , or what.. Those issues or trouble re still there... nd punishing ones mind or body with careless acts,, only destroys how you feel later in life.. 
 My lesson is this,,, Be positive and have faith ,, because when all others laugh and make fun of you.. The Almighty one will always be there.. I know because many times , I thought I couldn't;t do it,, But with my faith ,, I overcame loneliness, depression, wars, fights, stress, accidents at sea .. I have seen his goodness and I know.. My time will come when I will be put into place to use my skills.. and I'm looking forward to it.. Its how you prepare for the future , that keeps you daily living in tact. By living a spiritual and unselfish life.. Than, when all the naysayers and haters that try to put you down.. Simply cant'.. because you are true to your mission and goal and keeping the faith , that all tough times will come to pass and you will overcome.. Don't Hate ,, instead be good to people and don't expect anything in return.. DO something good because its whats in your heart.. By expecting something in return , you are just setting yourself up for disappointment. Humans are not perfect , but we all should try to be good to one another.. Its more than " Karma " its what being human is,, The act of giving , forgiving and helpful.. That's why we are above animals... But it seems greed, ego and personal agendas; is what drives alot of us at times.. Be spiritual today keep learning how to be good or be helpful and help those that need or ask for help.. Because you want to,,not because you feel forced too.. By giving and not expecting something in return.. Is that spiritual giving that make your life happier and healthier... Be happy my friends and stay spiritual no matter what!! Have a great day!!
