What Do We Have To Look Forward To?

Our age, or level of experience, is what puts us in a sort of straitjacket, where we are restricted in our achievements according to our targets, as we go forwards in the completion of this life.

We are always growing up from the moment of birth through the education period and moving on to our first real job.  It is around this time that we start to practice a serious union of our own outside our original family.

It maybe that it is from this time that we have the most to look forward to, but it is also the hardest time to achieve all that we materially need for our own new family.  We need to be true to ourselves and our loved one.

These are the most formative years, when we strive to supply a home and put food on the table for a steady life with happiness and without the overstrain of too much worry and concern for our future.

It is here that the most important guidance can be applied to our lives, so that we follow Spiritual Law and reap according to what we sow.  This is the time when so many mistakes are made by those who scoff a Higher Intelligence above their own.

Few find life easy at this point, even though there is a sort of indestructible mechanism within that says that those bad things can never happen to me.  They only happen to others when their lives go wrong through their own mistakes.

          Sadly, they can and do.  Many lives are ruined by the hurt inflicted on them by others if they fail to stand up for themselves.  The building of a new family relationship is fraught with dangers unless unconditional love rules.

There is an old saying that if you move in haste you repent at leisure.  Too often it all seems a good idea to rush into a relationship and expect/hope that it will work out for the best.

          Usually there are little signs along the way, which are so often ignored.  What you get out of a relationship depends on what you put into it and how your contributions are received.  You also need to be respected as well as loved.

          To give and take should apply to both parties and not with one giving and one taking.  As time goes on, the differences often become plainer and painful times happen, making us wonder where we went wrong.

          These are the most formative years on which future happiness is based.  Bad times leave emotional scars that if not treated will remain for the rest of that lifetime.  Action needs to be taken, because just muddling through solves nothing.

          As we look forward to what we think we want most, the dream is held as a mental representation of a present left under the tree that will make us happy without us having to work at it.

          Very rarely is a miracle given to us of what we want most without a price to be paid then or later.  That Higher Intelligence thinks too highly of us to just feed our expectant whims.

          To build ourselves in a progressive spiritual way, we need to experience what is put there in our pathway.  We can then overcome the damage of hurt and sometimes pain too, otherwise we achieve and learn nothing.

          Somebody once said that you should never love something so much that you are frightened of losing it.  This applies to material things especially and nothing is worth that amount pain.

          To love a person so deeply that you couldn’t bear to lose them, shows that the quality of that loss would become a burden on them as well as you.  By all means love them but share that love and go through all the ups and downs together as one.

          As we move on in life looking to our future, we have different hopes and dreams according to our place on that ladder of life that we have risen to.  However, with age we tend to understand more and to give more to those around us.

          We reach the summit of our career, have a nice home and perhaps enjoy retirement.  This is a time for relaxation, the pursuing of hobbies and joining in to help the community around us, where there may be many who need support and that helping hand.

          Soon enough we reach that understanding that there are friends and relatives that have passed on and thoughts start to occur about our coming time to go.  We have already made provisions for our family members.

          Know that all through our life there has been a thread of divinity and guidance.  Did we recognise it?  Were we able to understand that within us there are the answers to all questions if we ask in the right way.  It is never too late to seek the Spirit, which is within.

          Preparation for that final stepping over to a state of unconditional love is there for us to accept and enjoy.  We must make sure that we are ready to honour the life that we have lived here and are willing and able to accept unconditional love in return.
