Never give up in face of life’s struggles

By Humberto Rodrigues

Do not feel discouraged due to life’s battles and burdens! Discouragement shows a lack of confidence when it comes to human capacity to resolve their own difficulties. Setbacks are a natural consequence of living in this world; they are a response from the evolutionary laws when those laws are infringed, given that they rule the Universe.

Dismay weakens the spirit, which is the keeper of valuable attributes that ignites the creation of ideas and images, enabling cohesive conclusions and adequate solutions through logical reasoning and common sense in order to create a well balanced life, deprived of extravagance but provided with modesty, moderation, and justice.

Being in touch with our own selves, human beings are able to access their spiritual background experiences earned through multiple existences of the spirit as well as access to the pool of Universal Knowledge via intuition, provided they are able to tune in to the superior levels of spirituality. For this, it is necessary that individuals place importance on what is relevant in life, not attaching themselves to a vile existence and human wickedness.

Do not ever react to negative attitudes of others with similar thoughts or sentiments but act instead with upstanding behavior as that is the only way to guard against adverse influences. Do not expect miracles or divine protections because they do not exist.

Human beings are capable of facing all that confronts them in their lives with valor, courage, and the competent use of their free will, harvesting the fruits that the sowing of the seeds of good, produce, such as serenity, tranquility, and inner peace desired by each and every one. Everything is conquerable in the world as long as people are persistent in the fight to achieve their spiritual goals, which should hold primacy over material ambitions.

Therefore, there is no reason to succumb to discouragement. Everyone has spiritual resources needed to thrive on Earth. Study spiritualism, enlighten yourselves, utilize the pool of attributes developed accordingly to each one’s degrees of spirituality, and one will be able to seize life’s existence by strengthening positive vibrating currents. Behaving in this manner, people will be assisting themselves and others to attain the happiness which comes from the certainty of having fulfilled their duty, which always satisfies the soul.
