You can live a
divine life by living in tune with the highest good. The greatest tools that you require for a divine life are wisdom, trust, honour and gratitude. You cannot have a pure or devout mind without wisdom and trust. Likewise, you cannot be proud of your accomplishments without expressing gratitude for all the elements and influences that were a vital part of your success. You cannot live a divine life without honesty, respect, acceptance and curiosity; these are the ways that you'll develop wisdom, trust, honour, and gratitude in your day to day experiences.
"It is not wise to complain in the absence of helpful instruction." Monica WhoWhen you experience something that is not ideal, you should spend time considering why the experience was not ideal and think of how it could have been
most ideal. Only when you have achieved a deep level of understanding of the problem can you work to improve or resolve the issue at hand. You develop true wisdom by examining and learning from your own mistakes, as well as the mistakes made by others in your experiences. Learn as much as you can from the experiences of others, including their mistakes and their successes, so you wont have to make the same mistakes in your own experiences.
In relationships like business partnerships, friendships, and marriage, you can also avoid a lot of minor annoyances and friction by communicating your ideas clearly and in a helpful manner when you encounter a difference of opinion or a conflict that needs to be resolved. When you listen carefully to others in order to learn from what they tell you, and you communicate your ideas, needs, and complaints with wisdom, you are showing respect for yourself and others. This is how we honour others in our communications with them, and when you communicate in this way, it promotes mutual trust and respect.
People will know they can trust you when you communicate your intentions and needs very clearly and honestly, and respect the other person's needs, intentions and feelings. Mutual trust is required for any successful relationship, including personal and work relations, as well as friendships and business connections. You need to follow through with your responsibilities and promises and conduct yourself with great integrity in order to earn trust from others. When you have developed a bond of mutual trust with another person, you must do everything in your power to protect and defend that trust. That means you must always consider the highest good of all people involved whenever you make decisions or plans, or you take on additional responsibilities and tasks, and you must always communicate your feelings, intentions and needs with integrity.
Trust is also another aspect of faith. When you consider your relationships with God, angels, spirit guides and ascended masters, the trust and faith that you place in them is a necessary element of your relationship. You cannot pray to God without faith and trust that He has already taken care of your needs before you even thought to ask for His assistance. Likewise, God may not reward you with blessings or guide you toward the right choices and actions that would lead to your success if you do not have any trust or faith in Him. This is not to say that God's grace is reliant upon faith and that your prayers would go unanswered if you didn't have enough faith--but
it is more effective to pray or seek guidance when you have faith.
Gratitude is the element of a divine life that is most often overlooked but it never should be forgotten or ignored! You must express gratitude for all that you already have and enjoy and never take anything you have for granted. Do not expect that what you have right now are your basic fundamental rights because everything, including human rights, can be taken away or violated by others. Everything you have and appreciate at this moment is the result of blessings and good tidings that have come your way in life, and you must honour all of them by expressing and demonstrating your gratitude as often as you possibly can. In your personal relationships you also need to express your gratitude so the people around you know that what they do is noticed, appreciated, and valued by you. Many people base their feelings of self worth on the feedback and reactions they receive from the people in their lives, so you are blessing and honouring them when you express your gratitude. You also raise your spiritual vibrations to a higher level and enable prosperity and blessings to flow more abundantly in your life when you give thanks regularly and habitually.
Give thanks to the people around you, your spirit guides, angels and God every time you receive a blessing. I'm sure you've heard the saying, "You give what you get," and this is a simplified but accurate way of looking at things. However, it is far more accurate to say, "You receive what you give," because
giving is the first step in the equation. Give your partner love, respect, honesty and trust in order to receive the same from him or her. Give kindness, understanding, support and patience to others and you will be treated the same way in return more often than not. Give everything that is yours to give, and give the most of what you have the greatest supply of:
love.
Live your life in alignment with the highest good, with wisdom, trust, honour and gratitude, and you will enjoy a greater sense of personal well being, happiness, joy and fulfillment. You will be able to achieve more and greater things in life when you remain mindful of these ideas and aspirations, and you will never be alone when you make a habit of offering trust, respect, honesty, gratitude and affection to others.
