The Journey of Life
Author
Karla Solano
Life is a journey full of self discovery, personal growth and deep connection with who we are in relation to the universe and the Divine. We begin the process of self development from the moment we are born; first we learn to discover the world around us through the sense of taste. As infants we learn to pick everything up and put it into our mouth in order to connect & understand everything in our environment.
As we grow, we start to develop rational and we start asking the reason why things are the way they are; we have all been amused at some point in our lives by the constant questioning of a 5yr old as he/she tries to understand the meaning of things. As we question and reason our way through life, we enter the stage of knowledge. This is a very important process of our development as we go through our school yrs, because our brain begins to develop and grow with loads of information that will continually aid in the process of mind expansion.
As we move into our teenage years, we begin to live through the heart and we live life with passion and without limitations, we feel invincible as though nothing can stop us; this is a stage in our lives where we begin to live through our emotions, allowing them to run our existence. This crucial period of our lives tends to shape the character that we will become as adults, as all the fears, insecurities, disappointments and heartaches make up the wall we create as a protective mechanism.
During this time, we convince ourselves that life is hard, that we have no control over our personal well being and we begin to live with apprehension, doubting our ability to enjoy life and be happy without material satisfaction.
As adults we become consumed by the density and stress of responsibility and we become like robots, living day in and a day out, following the same routine in order to satisfy our roles in society and the achievement of material success. Until one day, after we have reached a point in our life where we feel all the goals we had set out for ourselves have been attained, and after reaching the material success we thought would make us happy, we realize that we still feel empty, unhappy and unfulfilled; forcing us to reach higher for a deeper connection to all that exists. It is at this pivotal point of our existence that some of us decide to undertake a journey of self discovery.
This journey within is where we search for true connection with who we are and what our true purpose of existence really is. At this stage we begin to search for deep meaning and true union with our Divine nature and we undertake a journey where our main focus is to find happiness, pure love and a purposeful way of life. A life which can only be found when we truly connect with the true essence of our being; at this point of our life we begin the development of our spiritual self which in turn will bring forth transformation in ways we never thought possible.
All of these different stages in our life are very important in our development process and it is important to keep in mind that we are all individuals and as such, we go through these stages at our own pace. So there is no need to rush or be impatient if the people around us don’t understand where we are in life in relation to this personal and spiritual growth. We will all get to where we need to be when the time is right and when we are ready and open to accept it as our truth.
Life is an amazing journey but it is imperative that no matter which stage of our development process we find ourselves in, we live life with good intentions, good will and with a positive outlook. Because a life well lived is the best gift we can give to ourselves and those around us.

From Breakup to Breakthrough
Author
Karla Solano
The end of a relationship is always a hard thing to cope with because it could leave us feeling vulnerable, confused & not to mention broken hearted; these feelings are just fears and insecurities brought forth by our mind’s resistance to be open to change. While it is true that breaking up with someone we love can bring a tremendous amount of loss and sadness, it is important not to overlook at the fact that every time a chapter in our life ends it also brings with it life changing beginnings.
It is imperative not to get lost in the sadness and the chaos that the breakups may cause because as hard as it may be to see, every single thing that happens in our lives has a reason for being, a bigger purpose if you will. In the midst of our emotional chaos, we tend to get blinded by the drama and the reasons why the relationship ended. We dwell in the past and sometimes get stuck there, not realizing that we maybe passing on the opportunity to learn valuable lessons being offered by this experience.
Focusing on the good memories, and opening our hearts to connecting with that loving place we once experienced with the other person can be very powerful in helping with the process of forgiveness and healing, thus, helping us move forward to a much positive state of mind.
We are very resilient beings, and it is extremely important not to forget how strong we are when we are feeling out place and losing control by the emotional roller coaster of the breakup; it is also essential for our well being to recognize our emotions, allow them to be and explore them and ask ourselves what is it that I need to learn from this experience so the pattern doesn’t repeat itself in the next relationship I encounter? What is it that brings me joy? And what can I do to connect with that happiness again? What would my life be like if I let go of all the resentment I hold in my heart? What would it be like to put myself first and take care of my needs? What is stopping me from moving forward? These are all very powerful questions that can lead us to taking actions steps to create the life we are meant to have.
Life is like a roller coaster sometimes we are high up in the clouds and sometimes we are down hanging by a thread but it is up to us to roll with the punches or to let life walk all over us. The most amazing insight that I have realized through my ups and downs is that We as human beings have the power to choose whether to be happy or not, We have the power to create our own sacred environment in which to find refuge when we need to get centered, We have the power to change our limiting thoughts into confident dreams that can become a reality if we choose to go after them.
Breaking through the sadness, chaos and fears during the end of any relationship will not only help you connect with your personal power but it will also guide you in transforming your life into the life you are meant to live--a life full of infinite possibilities.—

Committing to Oneself
Author
Karla Solano
One of the most valuable things to do in life is to learn to commit to ourselves. Committing to oneself means to make a vow to create a life full of good intentions, a life where love is the primordial principle enveloping our existence with compassion and kindness. Committing to oneself means to really look within and explore our infinite potential, reflecting on who we really are and how we can become better human beings.
Learning to commit to oneself is the key to finding true happiness, because until we find out who we really are and truly become whole we will never be able to fully connect with others in a deep level. The truth of the matter is that no one will ever get to know “you” better than yourself so why leave it up to our material possessions, our jobs and the people around us define who we are? Connecting with our true essence allows us to see ourselves for who we really are, without titles, social status, race or religious background.
Knowing who we are empowers us to be confident, to express ourselves in creative ways, to not be afraid of showing our true colors; it allows us to be free from judgmental behaviors which hinder our ability to interact with others in a compassionate and respectful way.
Committing to create a life where we share true and meaningful experiences with others will not only bring fulfillment but it will also open up our hearts into allowing the flow of our true essence to come forth in everything we do. This true essence is our natural state of being which manifests our loving, creative and enlightened self; our true essence is what helps us get up and keep on going when the going gets tough and there is no one around to help us. This essence will never steer us in the wrong direction, on the contrary, it will always make sure we live a life full of right decisions, harmony and loving connections. But in order for this true essence to manifest, we must learn to overcome the habit of resisting the true connection with who really are.
So make a vow today, to commit to “you”, to explore all the wonderful ways in which you no longer need to hold on to people or outside circumstances that set you back from fully experiencing joy because the happiness and love you seek cannot be found unless you find them within yourself.
