Two of our three biggest obstacles along the pathway of life are our
beliefs and attitudes. Our beliefs are
tied to our value system, which is ingrained into our consciousness by our
upbringing and experiences. An attitude is the feeling we have regarding our
beliefs. We defend our values through selective perception, or the ability to
disregard anything that challenges what we believe. Although it is important to
have a value system it is necessary to be open to the values of others if you
are to Soul Walk. One of our biggest
challenges is to be nonjudgmental, tolerant and compassionate, as well as open
toward others who may have opposing views.
Our attitudes and beliefs get tainted with deception, greed, anger and
pride. This is the challenge of karma. These take us off the soulful path. Practice
nonjudgement, tolerance and compassion and your beliefs will take on an
attitude of respect and benevolence towards all of life. To meet this challenge
you will need balance, flexibility, strength and tranquility.
Our third biggest obstacle is keeping the body
and the mind healthy in a world of disease, pollution, corruption, and low
self-esteem and self-worth. We have measurements and definition for what is
consider physical and mental health. IQ test, blood test and many more tests
give us insights into our health. But they cannot measure with accuracy the
existence or the health of the soul. But
if you take a moment to be quiet and listen to your soul, your soul
will tell you how to proceed. The only test needed is your ability to truly
listen to your inner self. When this happens your attitudes and beliefs will shift
and change. You will begin to see the world not as physical measurements of
gain or loss, but as soulful pursuits. This is karma and why you are here.
Namaste
