SPIRIT of ADVENTURE

 A Spirit of Adventure comes about when we are free, fully free to be ourselves; no pretence or fear of any kind, we are a free spirit!

It can happen very easily when we are in love.  It may be a special person who moves us to abandon all fears and misgivings. All we are aware of is the ability to love.

This wonderful sense of adventure is also found when we let go of all the things that hold us back from going forward.  We learn to leave our fears behind us, and step out into the unknown, believing that our heart will guide us to know what is right.

This scary, yet exciting feeling of abandonment will guide us to a future we do not know, and in many ways, don't care.  Our willingness to go forward and embrace all that is new and wonderful will sustain us when we realise we are no longer afraid.

The spiritual mind will find this sense of adventure more easy to follow when we  become aware of a Guiding Force propelling us to follow our aspirations and dreams.  

In a way, we are being lifted up by the Hand of God and become transformed into our true selves.

FRIENDSHIP

 Friends are a treasure, to be respected and valued, always.

When we are able to be a friend with another person, we learn so much about ourselves, and even more so, we receive lessons on how to love.

There is always a price to pay for the gift of friendship, so we need to tread carefully and beome sensitive to how others are feeling.  Human nature is imperfect and we are all flawed in some way or other, therefore it is so important to learn the skill of being gentle and forgiving.

Even the best of friends, at times, can hurt one another. There is no malice, just mistakes and misunderstandings that teach us so much about ourselves, if we are able and willing to accept our weaknesses and failings.

Can anything be greater than Love?  We may not know God fully, yet when we love truly, we become God-like, so whatever protects our ability to love, no matter how hard it might seem, go for it!

The ability to love is such a treasure, and we will learn how to love through friendship.
