A person must be empowered by those who are gifted w/ empowerment skills to help freeing the person. Any gift must be exercised to realized its purpose. A free person has access to everything that GOD has created for everyone for free. A free person does'nt worry about things because his mind is fed with possibilities but never engage in action that will create injustice to others. The most valuable things in this life are the things that money can't buy. I love the thoughts of changing the world to be a better place to live. Only ONE can measure the impact of your intention. Helping one realizes that each of us has a purpose to fulfill for either for our own higher transformation or an instrument for someone else. Life is so short and we should live within the now. We can not live for yesterday nor live for tomorrow. Life is so short as we must live it to the fullest. There is always a right time. Don't rush things, go with the flow....and be fulfilled. |
