The bookstores are filled with self-help books of all kinds, and for sure many of them are truly good and helpful. They all promise happiness, joy and success. But no matter how many techniques one uses, you can still see people running around restless, looking for “something else” and wanting “something more.” Yes, even when they seem to have everything: a wonderful life partner, a good solid career, a nice house and children. A few years later, they divorce, families fall apart, one suffers with depressions or a midlife-crisis. And if you ask them what happened, they will answer you: “Because something was missing…”
But the question is: What is really missing?

In my experience, that one “missing piece” (some call it the secret) people are looking for during most of their life, is simply and only this: Their own relationship with God, Divine Source.

Yes, I have had times in my life when I did not believe in any kind of God, I know how empty that feels. But then, I started praying again, I learned meditation, and I discovered the beauty of the spiritual path... That feeling of true lasting inner peace comes from our connection with our Divine Source.

The only thing that is needed is our conscious awareness of our Divine Self, our alignement with our own Divine Soul. When we practice being present like this in every moment of our daily lives, we allow divine Love to transform our world...

We are spiritual beings, Souls, coming from a Divine Source, known as God. Since I started taking care of my relationship with God again, I became more and more aware of Spirit, of Divine Consciousness, and I have found an inner peace that nothing in the material world can ever offer.

There are no substitutes in the outside world for that sacred relationship with our Divine Self and our Divine Source. Within this feeling of Oneness, we receive a love so tender and healing, it really fills your heart with beautiful peace... this is when you feel really whole.

What if the only “Law of Attraction” tool that is missing in our life, in truth is our own relationship with Divine Source? People try to have relationships with each other - but without having a loving relationship with our own Divine Source, how can we expect having any fulfilling and lasting relationships with others?

Many of us are living in a modern world filled with material abundance, but still feeling unhappy, restless, seeking for "something more" to fill the void they feel inside ...
What is really missing, is our faith in Divine Source, our love for God, our daily relationship with God. Are we living and sharing our daily life with God? Are we bringing Divine Love into our daily life situations? Maybe, that is what is really missing most of the time: Divine Love.

We do not need another pair of shoes, or more make-up, another new shirt or a new car. Those are superficial, material substitutes for a short moment. The one and only thing that can fill our hearts with true love and lasting peace, is when we take the time for prayers and meditation, when we really sit in stillness and connect with our Divine Source. It is in real communion with God that our hearts are filled with lasting love. This is what we are all longing for.

Maybe, instead of doing all the "self-improvement", the one and only thing we really need to improve and upgrade, is our personal relationship with our own Soul, with our Divine Source. 
To begin with, we can accept our own Divinity, and see the Divine in others, honor the Divine in each other, and honor our Divine Source. These steps would be a beautiful shift in our consciousness; and we would feel a lot happier, better, more complete.

This book is called Living by Grace and it is very inspiring.

Not everybody experienced the joy, the love and the mutual support of a good family. Instead, they experienced abuse and similar issues. For others, there were issues with alcohol in the family, or maybe narcissism and other disorders. Many are those who suffer during years, often in silence, from the burdens of a dysfunctional family. Sometimes, those who grew up in these kind of families never received a comforting hug or loving words of encouragement.
Please make sure to first read this blog text I wrote for a better understanding.
 
The wounds left by childhood traumas aren’t easy to heal. Often there is a lot of old shame and guilt in those memories - they are robing a big part of the joy of life.

With this message, I would like to encourage you that it is possible to move beyond these experiences. Especially in dysfunctional families, when becoming an adult, every healing work you do is very precious for your own path. It all will help you to create a beautiful life for yourself.

You can learn to move forward and find new strength for your own healing. You can now learn to set healthy boundaries for yourself. You can restore your confidence and free yourself from all those old burdens. Please know that you can receive support for all these kind of situations.

Often, good people make compromises, they tolerate many things, out of old fears of conflicts. People tolerate too often bad behaviors from others, with the excuse that "they are family". But with time, those silent compromises can become a burden and lead to a lot of repressed anger.

People who truly love you will always talk to you with respect, loving kindness, compassion, and appreciation. People who love you will always respect your boundaries and treat you with consideration. It is important to surround yourself with quality people who are willing to support you on your path of life.

There is a simple way to find out if you are spending your precious time with the right people: how do you feel after a conversation with them? The right people help you to feel good about yourself. The right people speak about positive things such as faith, motivation and confidence with you. True friends make you feel good about yourself in every meeting and the conversations with them are uplifting. But if you feel bad and worse after every encounter with some people, it may be time to think about setting healthy boundaries. 
 
One important point to think about: those who grew up in dysfunctional families rarely received the loving comfort they needed as a child. This is an old grief many carry in their hearts. These things also need to be healed, so you can live a fulfilling life as an adult.

You deserve to be happy, healed and free. You can create a beautiful life for yourself. ​You deserve to have a circle of loving friends who support you on your path.

These kind of books can give you new motivation: Living by Grace.

Please feel free to write me, if you have any questions about this topic. 

Thank You.

with Love,
Jeanne
