Triple play of happiness

Every individual is made up of three parts, the body, the mind, and the spirit. This is what makes us human and also why we have so many problems in the world today. Most people do not realize this simple fact and in turn, they neglect an important part of themselves. I know this is true because I was guilty of this myself. We go about our daily lives filled with unavoidable traps that are comforting to the body, and spend countless hours occupying our minds with every form of immoral entertainment imaginable, but we do nothing for our spirit. This is why most of the world is miserable and are turning to substances that alter their physical capacity and mental awareness to dull the spirit's cry for attention. I can speak from experience that true happiness is attainable! Anyone on this planet has within them the ability to be truly happy, you just have to follow a simple pattern. Start with improving the spiritual aspect of your being and the other two will immediately fall in line. Most people have it backward, I know I did, they try to please the body with so many things and when that doesn't work they try to occupy or destroy their mind to eliminate the ill effects of living for physical pleasure alone and this pattern only ends in sadness and depression. The physical and mental appetites for pleasure are never filled and they only lead to death and destruction. Without the help of your spiritual side you don't stand a chance. Most everyone knows these facts deep down, but they chose to ignore them or don't fully understand it. Just so we are clear about what I mean when I say physical and mental, unavoidable traps in our daily lives I mean things like lust, alcohol, tobacco, greed, pornography, drugs, mindless entertainment, hate, risky or demeaning behavior, envy, etc. Things that no one really wants to do but they always wind up doing them and then they are filled with regret. I don't think anyone when they are a kid wants to grow up to be a drug addict, a porn star, or an ax murderer, but if you spend your life ignoring your spiritual being, then those things can happen because it is an endless cycle of trying to find more and more new things that please the body and stimulate the mind. All of this can be prevented or stopped and it is not very difficult to do. It is very simple, so pay attention.... the only way to improve your spiritual being, and your whole life, is to pray everyday to God. He will listen to you and help you in unexplainable way. That is it, that is all it takes. Just do this one thing and your whole being, body, mind, and spirit, will be at peace and truly, completely happy and you will be a whole person.

You can make it!

I just want to let everyone know that God can make a change in your life, if you truly want Him to! If you have something that you are struggling with pray about it rather than try to do it yourself. I had things in my life that had me bound for over 20 years, and God took them away in an instant. I could not get over them in myself, I tried many times and miserably failed, but all it took was me determining to let God help me. I hope this encourages someone to give God a chance today to make a great change in your life. Just remember this verse..."And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27

New Direction

I now have a new purpose in my life and therefore I feel that my blog must reflect that. So if you have been following this blog because you like to read sporadic rants about traffic, mixed with the occasional random copy&pasted jokes, then I'm sorry. But I don't think anyone will miss them and I did leave the one about the existence of God. Instead I hope you get some encouragement from reading the testimonies of how God is working in my life. Also from now on I will try to regularly update as well, instead of 3 posts in a week and then not another for six months.
