It wasn’t long ago when I was training to be a body builder. I was also a medical student in Hungary, with aspirations to become a surgeon. At times, situations would arise where I would get called into fights and punch-ons. But something changed within me. I dropped a lot of that muscle, left my medical career, and became a spiritual seeker of life. So what happened?
Well everything I did in my life was because I was searching for something. I didn’t know what it was at the time, but my heart always knew. It was crying for it. LOVE. I was searching for love. To be loved, to feel loved, and to be love.

In fact all of us are searching for this. When you aspire for a career, or a relationship, or a life of freedom and wealth, when you have dreams and wish for them to come true, what you are searching for is love.

When you believe that your value comes from your job, your appearance, your possessions, or other people’s opinions, what you are telling life is that you don’t believe in how amazing you actually are. You don’t believe it. Because you believe that everything outside of yourself will give you the proof that you are amazing, when that could never be true. You were born amazing. And that’s true because you are the source of life itself. You are of it, were born from it, and you will return back to it. You are all that is and ever will be.

Why is this so? Because as the universe, you are always attracting and manifesting things into your life. It comes through your beliefs and the feelings you hold towards them. If you don’t recognise that you actually are amazing, and that nothing in your life could prove that to be fact other than your own existence, you relinquish your God-given power as a creator of this world.

Yes that means that no matter what your life looks like, it doesn’t matter! You are always in control. You have always held the power. And this power reveals itself to you when you acknowledge yourself as the creator of this world. This power does not come from your achievements. Those are just a side effect of the knowingness that you are all that is and ever will be. And this is perhaps why you may hear of stories of people who had to lose everything to get everything they wanted. Because the universe had to strip away everything from their life in order for them to realise that they were creating it, and that they had the power to take it back.

But you don’t need to go through that if you understand this now. All YOU need to do, in acknowledgment of the universe that you are, is to acknowledge that YOU are the blessing and the greatest gift. And the blessings that surround you in your life. Keep counting them and don’t stop. AND THEN see what unfolds for you.

Unconditional Love and Gratitude,
