It would be wonderful if life were all sunshine and roses, but that’s not reality. Some people will lead you to believe that we’ve come to this planet to just have fun. While I agree that we should experience fun times as much as possible, sometimes we also face not-so-great experiences.
Even as children, we start to experience painful emotions or situations. From getting pushed around on the playground to experiencing the loss of a pet to experiencing your first breakup as a teen – the reality is that life is a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes you’re up and sometimes you’re down, and that’s alright.
At just about every developmental stage in life, people wonder how they should live their life. They wonder what their life path should be.
Of course, figuring out your life path can sometimes be challenging. How many times have you sat and wondered what you were put here on this earth to do? You’re certainly not alone. I’ve had my share of nights lying in my bed, confused and frustrated because I could not figure out my life path.
Making the most of your life is likely to involve you doing some inner searching to discover how you want your life to go. It will involve you pondering how you want to show up for yourself and others. And, it involves you taking some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of life to discover who you are and what you desire.
It’s no secret that we are made up of mind, body, and spirit. We tend to spend a lot of time taking care of the mind and body, but the spirit sometimes gets neglected. Remember that your spirit needs to be nurtured and cherished too.
Your physical body will deteriorate and likely grow weaker over time. However, if you focus on nurturing and caring for your spirit in addition to your physical body, you are much more apt to experience peace and happiness along your journey. As a result, you’re more apt to feel meaningful and fulfilled.
When is the last time you asked yourself:
You see, life may not be all sunshine and roses, but you can experience many more good days than bad if you’re willing to consciously navigate it.
Asking yourself questions is a good habit to get into.
What kind of life do you truly want to live? What are you striving for? What makes you happy?
By doing things that make you feel happy, you are nurturing your soul. And, most likely this will have a positive effect on others as well. Sure, physical things can bring you temporary happiness, but living out your purposes can help you experience lasting joy.
If you’re not sure, take some time to meditate and seek to hear what your spirit is saying to you. Sit in a quiet room and try to tune in to your spirit's desires. Be true to yourself and honor your passion and feelings. Continually expand your spiritual consciousness. Focus on your goals and what makes you feel passion. Doing this can open your mind to new possibilities and help you stay on your life path.
You are your own unique person. You must find your own path in your own way. Try making a list of things you want to accomplish in life and things that make you feel blissful, including physical and spiritual experiences. Once you have your list, come up with ways to accomplish these goals. Ask the universe or your higher power to help guide and give you insight.
Walking your unique life's path and enjoying more peace and joy is possible with dedication, insight, and motivation. Do your best to be content where you are on the way to where you are going. Life can become challenging at times, but it can also be amazing.
Today, as you go about your day, notice the sunshine and roses (or other flowers). Offer gratitude for the good in your life. If you happen to be struggling, reach out to someone you trust and let them know. You certainly don’t have to navigate life alone.

I have a connection on FB but I don't provide much personal information on FB as I don't trust it and other people's knowledge of me is not their business.
Even so I still get a lot of junk email.

Being Spiritual and human
Sometimes people will set back and give instructions and demands to others without knowing what's really happening with them and to them. Man is not God, and he will create problems for you and tell you to need to get yourself together. I prayed for God to help me with what I felt happening, and he did. Now I am being asked to do what he did for me. I was in control of my life and everything that was going on a while back, and now I am given instructions or else. I believed in how I was doing things with God's help. Now I feel like an enemy of some and the friend of none. If there's something that's noticed about me, believe it's of God and he'll never tell me he will make my life hell if I don't help others. I am trying to live in the now and let the before go, but I see someone else want to control me and how to do and God is what makes it be. We're in hard times now and God will have the last say. I saw or heard of hurt and help to make it work the way you want it to. If I got to look to God for guidance and his mercy to help me. Why others don't believe this is true.

Is Life Supposed To Be All Sunshine and Roses?
This article is motivating. It reminds one how you can empower onself and live life's potential by nurturing not only the mind and body but most importantly is the spirit.
Peaceful Trust
I have written my life story before because I was trying to put together the events in my life together for a better understanding of myself. Now that it has gotten out of hand with all the interference and not being able to make contact with what I needed. I now feel my efforts are useless to what I could've been able to do. One thing I will not do is let no one make me feel like I did something wrong because of what happens for me, to me, and of me. If you get me. I am a person of, don't know how to explain, because next thing I know something else will be happening. I lost my peace and my trust in man, and that's what I can't find and deal with. It's been too much. Too many people don't believe in our lord and savior and his endless love for us, and with that, there's no telling what you might see. This doesn't mean I can do the same and to take my life and make me feel like I want to help others is far below what God will let be the outcome be. I was coming into my own, but look at what started happening to me. I see so much I care not to explain. Look what is going on in the world and we still haven't reached the butt of this, but yet I am still going through let me show you stuff. I've lost my zest for what was roaring inside of me. To see everything being taken from me and used to get me to do what? it's being taken away by you, someone, or something. I know God is with me and his plan is not my plan. We all need to recognize his power. This pandemic would've been ended.
Sunshine and Roses
Strengthening the spiritual is very important
