Heaven on Earth

Most ideas of heaven, have been categorized as a place/destination beyond where we are. Regardless of what our religious beliefs may be on the concept of heaven, or life after death in general, it is more than just a place to be found beyone this life.

Often times, when we think of heaven, we think of a place free of worries, pain, and suffering. It is considered to be a place that we will experience freedom; our ultimate bliss, if you will.

Heaven is not just a place you end up after you pass on from this life. Heaven can be found in the essence of who you are - now. If we trust in all things/experiences to be a part of a higher good, then we can free ourselves from the concerns, worries, and self-inflicted suffering that may be caused from them. If we honor our selves, pursue the higher purpose in who we are, give our best in all that we do, we can release the burdens of this world, and in doing that, we can find a piece of heaven on earth - in our hearts.

In knowing that you are exactly where you need to be, you know all is well just as you are, whre you are. When we allow ourselves to feel the divinity in where we are - always- we can feel the essence of the part of heaven/god/source/universe/love/peace/joy/bliss that is in us, right where we are.

May your day be filled with joy!
