Spiritual Soul Core Strengthening—Foundation Repair and Building—Structural Reinforcement to Weather Severe Storms
In spring, we often see very strong storms. Many times, the wind blows so hard that trees topple over. This is especially true if the tree is already old, weak or has no foundation of firm roots.
I have a beautiful tree in the middle of my backyard. Last year, while having an annual tree trimming, the service informed me of a deep crack in the middle of the tree. The tree service also told me there was no way to save the tree. Therefore, they suggested I cut the huge tree down. However, my instincts told me differently. Instead of removing the tree, I called another service and asked their opinion. They said that even though the tree was weakened by the crack, it could be strengthened by cabling the trunk together. However, they also warned that there was no guarantee that a very strong wind would not split the tree in two despite any cabling. In the end, I opted to trust my intuition and cable the tree.
Throughout the year, despite my gut telling me that everything would be OK, whenever a strong wind came up, I would watch anxiously to see if the tree could withstand the strain. As each storm came and went, my beautiful tree managed to stay upright, and continued to grow.
Several months ago, it was time again to trim my tree. When the tree service arrived, I inquired about the health of my tree. They showed me the crack in the tree. To my amazement, the tree had begun to heal itself. The cable not only reinforced the strength of the tree, but also allowed it to heal. With this knowledge, the service felt the tree had an excellent chance of living for many years.
Many times, we are like my tree—weak in our foundation. Therefore, we may feel as if we do not have the strength to weather the storms of life. However, you may not realize it, but you have more strength than you know. It is the spirit of God within you. The spirit is the cable that can help you withstand any storm. Furthermore, that cable can renew and heal you. There is no guarantee that you still will not topple over because each of us has choice. Either we can choose to allow the spirit to heal us or, conversely, we can ignore it. Why not recognize the beautiful spirit that is part of you, helping you grow higher and higher, fortifying you against any gust of wind?

The 7 Deadly Emotions
This morning as I was preparing myself for the day by drinking my lovely cup of coffee, going through my Simplology praxis and completing my Six Minutes to Success as is part on my daily routine, my focus for the day became clear. Since I am in the progress of creating a personal development series, my next video planned was on this very topic. To me, this is a confirmation of the right plan of action for the day! Now that may not seem important to some, but I find it exhilerating to know my intuitions are spot on and it encourages me to continue using this under used part of my being. This is where I “hear” from the Spirit of God and know the best plan to “walk” in the Spirit.
Here is the list of the 7 deadly emotions to avoid: Fear, Jealousy, Hatred, Revenge, Greed, Superstition, Anger
It is important to note that I will NOT dwell on these negative emotions. I’m only pointing them out so we can identify them as they pop up in our lives so we can quickly change our perspective to control them and NOT allow them to control us. We are to be the master of our emotions and not the other way around!
Where do these emotions come from? Emotions come from our thoughts. It is so important to control out thoughts! That is one of the reasons I’m writing these articles and making the videos. Change your thinking, change your emotions. If you are not happy, it’s because you’ve been thinking the wrong things, dwelling on negative thoughts which create negative and deadly emotions. These emotions take away “life”. We were created to have life and that more abundantly. All I’m offering is a practical way to be happy; something everyone wants! This is my own test for my thoughts, to see if they are worthy of my attention:
Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all praiseworthy things, things to be thankful for.
This is the basis for the Law of Attraction. Discipline your thought life to attract ONLY GOOD things into your life. Not only will you feel happy, but you will get what good things you desire.
The opposite is also true. Think of bad, ugly, destructive and negative thoughts, you get bad, ugly, destructive and negative emotions such as: Fear, Jealousy, Hatred, Revenge, Greed, Superstition, Anger in which every one of these leads to “death” AND DIS-EASE. Here is a brief list of negative emotions that if taken to their conclusion produce undesirable consequences:
Fear is faith pointed in the opposite direction – death
Jealousy is hostility toward a rival or one believed to enjoy an advantage – death
Hatred is prejudiced hostility or animosity – death
Revenge – to inflict injury in return for a perceived injustice – death
Greed is defined as an inordinate or reprehensible acquisitiveness (all forms of stealing)
Superstition is a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown; an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, or God resulting from fears
Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure and usually of antagonism -death
If happiness and joy are your desired states of being, these emotions must be checked and eliminated at all cost! These emotions can and must be changed and I will tell you in a future writing how to change your perspective on these to change them from a negative to the corresponding positive emotion. It all happens in your mind.
Remember, the Law of Attraction works both ways! Guard your mind AND your heart!
