Companionship is beyond friendship.

It is when you develop a deeper connection with someone else and the two of you become one. Your routines become in sync with each other yet you retain your identities. We have friends, relatives, and companions yet we connect with all of them but at different levels.

The scope of companionship

Companionships stick more, bond tighter, and go deeper than any other relationship you may have. Marriages founded on companionship last longer than those based solely on friendships. In companionship, you find love and spiritual ties that bind you with your chosen companion for the rest of your lives. The scope of companionship is tied to two aspects:

1.  Being whole.

Until you find a companion, you are not whole. You are still a fraction or decimal. But they come into your life to complete you. No one else can fill their part in your life. Although you are doing fine in your daily routine, you can do better when you are whole.

2.  A better understanding of yourself.

Companions help you discover things about yourself that you did not know. They bring out abilities you have that you were not aware of them before. You also do the same to them. Discovering each other is an eye-opener. You have the world ahead of you to conquer together.

The ultimate companionship.

There are two tiers of companionships – the physical and the spiritual. Physical companionship is with other people and how close they get to your life. It is not a surprise that people end up falling in love with their companions and end up marrying them.

Spiritual companionship is on a whole different level. It is companionship with the universe. It can happen even when you already have physical companionship. This is the ultimate companionship. Sadly, most people stop at the first tier and do not look beyond to create spiritual companionship.

The importance of companionship with the universe.

1.  You connect with eternity.

There is life beyond the present. Eternity is such a long time that we would be lost without companionship. The universe is the only one that was in the past, is in the present, and shall be there even in eternity. Bonding with the universe is an opportunity to live across different seasons, most especially in the future while you are yet to be there. Nothing is hidden between companions. This is how the universe will allow you to connect with eternity.

As life happens, things will no longer be a surprise to you. Your every step shall be guided and assured by the master of eternity – the universe.

2.     You discover your purpose.

Your purpose is the reason for which you were born. Some know it earlier while others wait longer to discover their purpose. Companionship with the universe reveals it to you without struggle and you can lay your foundation in life early enough. The master of time (the universe) knows your fate and everything about you. When you are companions, you will understand your purpose on time and have much to enjoy later on. The universe leads you to do the right thing for you. Isn’t that what companions are for?

3.  You become genuinely happy.

Genuine happiness is not easy to come by. Most people live to survive and being unhappy has now become part of their lifestyle. There is everything wrong is making unhappiness normal. Genuine happiness will make you live without regrets because there is fulfillment in everything you do. This is an enviable lifestyle that the universe offers you free of charge when you become companions. Companionship with the universe is a whole package and happiness is at the center of it.

4.   You are prepared for what lies ahead.

Companionship with the universe prepares you for what is to come. If you develop spiritual companionship before the physical one, developing it, later on, becomes much easier because you have already successfully done the hardest part. Your future husband or wife will have an easier bonding with you because you are already fully baked by the universe. That aside, you will also be ready to accommodate somebody else into your life because you now know what you need from them.

Most relationship problems are because either one or both of them have never had companionship with the universe and they, therefore, do not know how to handle physical companionship.

Forming companionship with the universe.

Now that you know what companionship with the universe looks like, you must be wondering how to form this kind of spiritual companionship. This is the first step in the right direction. There are many more to come.

1.     Create time for yourself.

The universe speaks directly to your spirit. It is not anywhere else where you can say you want to go and consult with them. The ‘you-time’ is how you bond with the universe. Take time off your busy schedule and go for nature walks, sit at the beach shores, go surfing, ride, or sit somewhere alone to meditate. In your lone moments, the universe will minister to your spirit. It will manifest in the new ideas that flood your mind and how your thinking will be renewed.

2.  Take a leap of faith.

The universe operates on the bandwidth of faith. You have to believe that it exists and controls every aspect of your life. Otherwise, how can a ‘non-existent’ universe have a spiritual companionship with you? Stop doubting if you will ever have a perfect companionship with the universe because of maybe how imperfect you are. The universe is not looking for perfection, only believers who are ready to take a leap of faith.

3.  Nurture your companionship.

For anything to grow, it needs to be nurtured. Companionship with the universe needs the same. You need to be sensitive in your spirit to things that will ruin the beautiful companionship you have developed with the universe.

Be considerate of other people and express kindness throughout. This ultimate guide will help you develop a healthy companionship and have your forever moment. The help you have been waiting for has now arrived. Grab it!

The idea of a cocktail.

Before the idea of a cocktail, there were very few options at the table. Then boom! Cocktail happened! You can now have multiple fruit juices at once. The beauty of a cocktail is that it is all-inclusive. Similarly, you can have your cocktail of choices from the universe. You do not have to take long to attract money first and then form your dream relationship. The universe has made it possible for you to have both simultaneously.

Just as it is in bars and restaurants, so it is with the universe. There is a mixologist who is specialized in mixing cocktails. He is there to help you make the right choice and have your desired cocktail. The universe’s mixologist is nature. She is there to mix your cocktail orders for you as you want. So, what do you order from her?

When asked to choose between money and relationships, most people would go for one or the other. Very few people would choose a cocktail of both. Contrary to what most people believe that you cannot eat your cake and have it, the universe wants the best for you – as much money as possible and the best partner to enjoy your wealth with. This is raw love from the universe that you should not take for granted.

How to order your cocktail.

1. Tune your mind.

You should be prepared mentally to accept the generosity of the universe. You need to shift from your old mentality of wanting to have many things in a queue and accept the new world order that the universe is bringing to you. Begin desiring both money and relationships at the same time. This will prepare your spirit to receive the same from the universe. The connection between your spirit and the universe is formed by a spark of desire.

2. Follow your star streak.

Everybody has their star streak and what they want to do in life. If you are yet to discover yours, you have to look within yourself for it. Your star lies where your passion is at. You could be passionate about music, arts, science, or nature. It is the only place you can order your cocktail of money and relationships. You can mine a fortune by following your passion and where your heart leads you. Your spirit automatically connects to the universe when you are following your purpose. Your future husband/wife is waiting for you where your purpose is.

3. Earn the gifts of the universe.

Money and healthy relationships are gifts from the universe. Like all gifts, they are earned. It is not enough to blindly follow your purpose. Be strategic while at it. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. You cannot earn gifts of the universe if you continue in your old ways. You earn money and a healthy relationship when you stick to your purpose and be creative in what you do. You will eventually be that magnet that attracts pure metals.

4. Be open about finances

The money issue has never been easy in relationships. It is responsible for many failed relationships. The universe wants total openness on it. The way you are open to the mixologist when you order your cocktail, be so to your partner. Hiding your finances from him/her will make you lose them even as you gain more money. You will be back to square one without a cocktail from your favorite mixologist.

5. Combine your stars.

Two heads are better than one. This is true even in relationships and finances. Two candles shine brighter. None dims the other. You can sustain your relationship by combining efforts in business or work. The chances of success for both of you are higher unlike when you are struggling alone. When you are in one spirit with your partner, your joint projects are a success. You are not in competition with each other. It is a partnership.

6. Give back to nature.

Do you thank your mixologist for making you that beautiful drink? Similarly, you should sign a thank you note to the universe when you get your cocktail as ordered. Nature is the mixologist who prepares your cocktail. Take care of her so that she can continue making you your favorite cocktail. You can show your care by being considerate to other people who are also part of the bigger echo system.

7. Beware of the pride of wealth.

There is the temptation to be arrogant when you are full. Now that you have both money and a healthy functional relationship, you may think that there is nothing much to look forward to. There is plenty. You may not get another glass of cocktail when you abuse the honor of being served by the first. Guard your status of being privileged to be served by the universe. Money and a healthy relationship shall forever be your portion because of how the universe shall be proud of you.

8. Learn and practice patience.

Most people want overnight success. They want their order served at the snap of a finger. The universe does not work this way. Mixologists take their time to prepare your cocktail and serve it to you. As much as you desire money and a functional relationship, know that it will take some time before the universe works something out for you. Until it happens, you have to be patient to be served. You could give up when you are almost being served and you would have thrown the baby with the bath water.

The cost of a cocktail.

Cocktails are costly. Sometimes it might cost you an arm and a leg depending on what you order. Here is how you can purchase your glass of cocktail and live the best of your life. It is also a way of killing two birds with one stone. What glory! Be prepared to devote your time and invest in your purpose, follow your star streak, and combine efforts with your partner. All your efforts shall manifest in due time. 

The Value of Money.

Just how much is enough money? There is so much you can do with plenty of it only after you understand its value in the universe. The value of money comes out strongly when transacting because you can see how much you can buy. Call it the purchasing power.

The purchasing power of money is only limited to a range of things. It can buy houses, and cars, pay for air tickets, and book hotels for vacations. It is ironic that despite all these that are meant to make you happy, you can still be sad. This is because your money lacks value in the money market in the universe. The breakthrough comes when you can successfully trade in the money market of the universe.

Getting more money…

Money is a creation of the universe. The universe existed long before money came into being. Of course, it brought convenience to trade but life still moved on even before money was invented. Now that it is here with us, can everything stop because of it? Many people have money but do not know how to trade in the money market of the universe.

Thankfully, there is a way you can dominate the money market and money shall serve you. This is the original intention of the universe. Everybody wants to make more money. It is what I call the `99 problem. The one with $0.9 wants $1. The one with $99 wants $100. Even the one with $999 wants $1000. This is what you should know to make more money and still successfully trade in the money market of the universe:

1. Money is a reward.

You may think “But I work hard for my money. How is it a reward?” The only authority responsible for manufacturing money is the government and it circulates in the economy. The more you focus on making more money, the further you get lost. You were not created to chase after the creation of man – money. Create solutions to the problems of other people without greed for it. You will be rewarded for your services with money. Just like that, you become a millionaire!

The mentality of wanting money without thinking of what you offer in return for it will make you stagnant in one place for a very long time. Wrong priorities. When you serve the universe with solutions to problems, you are human first and then a business person. This is the first basic principle of trade in the money market of the universe.

2.     Do not hoard money.

Money is currency. The reason is that it is supposed to circulate. You do not have any business hoarding money. Stashing money in bank accounts locally and overseas will not make you have more of it. Do something with your money – invest, buy assets, start a business, or donate to worthy charities, but do not hold it for yourself. This will be sabotaging the plans of nature.

Trading in the money market of the universe needs you to carefully balance between saving and preventing the circulation of currency. You can save money that is still in circulation. There is a second principle of trade in the money market – money attracts more money.

3.     Be unique.

You could be pressured to do something when everybody is doing their thing. Do not succumb to it. You need to be unique in this market. Always do some value addition to the services you offer to your clients. It will make you stand out from the rest who are only interested in money. The universe will identify your uniqueness in serving humanity even as you do business. This will drive more clients your way because you treat them in a dignified way.

You should be guided by dignity as you trade in the money market of the universe. Nature wants you to value others as equals. It is only time and chance that bridges the gap between you two. Be humane however and wherever you do business. The third principle in the money market is that customer is king.

4. Do not be greedy.

There is no shortcut to making more money. There is always a temptation to take the shorter route. You should resist this if you want to prosper in the money market. The universe rewards hard work. There is no otherwise if you want to be a good trader. You have to make your first $100 before making your first $1000.

You will be paid more for higher-value products and services. Pricing underrated products and services expensively will reduce your customer base. There is no magic that the universe can do if you exploit the same people who sustain it. Embrace stepping on one stair at a time as you go up. The fourth principle in the money market of the universe is that short cut is the wrong way.

5. You are the product in the market.

If you are seeking to create a fortune in trading in the money market, get this right. A client buys you before buying your products or services. Similarly, you could have the purest intentions for the universe and you fail to demonstrate it. It does little to help. Package yourself well and maintain open-mindedness even as you trade.

The best way to win over a customer is to be the person they want to see and hear. Relate to their struggle and genuinely offer your help. Nobody buys a product without a human face, except at gunpoint. Given two salespeople selling the same product, whom will you buy from? Is it the one who only sells what they have or the one who sells himself alongside his products? Of course, you will buy from the seller selling his products alongside himself/herself.

The role of the universe in the money market.

The Universe ultimately decides whether or not you will attract more money. It has these five principles that you should follow if you want to trade. Every other way of trade without the blessings of the universe is futile. Your money is safer with the universe. Think about it. 

Heroes and Villains

Life is like a food chain, and the higher it goes, the fewer the numbers in that group. More so, animals develop survival instincts that make them live to see another day. Many food chains make up a web. Despite their growth, nature somehow sustains the population in each class. This example of a food web is a direct representation of the co-existence of both good and bad in the universe.

Which side are you on?

No matter how hard you avoid it, you finally have to take a side. Are you the villain or hero? It is natural in us to be good people and extend the same to those around us. But there is a tipping point that turns some to be villains. Luckily, the universe is there to guide you out of whatever could be leading you away from the light.

Unless you pay closer attention to how the universe can help you conquer the good with the bad, then you will never make it alone. Here are some ground rules:

1.  Believe in your cause.

You should first believe in your beliefs and principles before you can convince someone else that you are doing the right thing. Nothing can defeat good, even when a victory cannot be seen. Your values will drive you to do the right thing even when there is opposition against it. It is at this moment that you cannot compromise good for anything else. Why? Because you believe it is the right thing to do.  One way to conquer the bad wherever you go is to have the conviction of doing the right thing.

2.     Be patient.

Patience is a virtue that is becoming rare. The universe does not offer instant fixes as we may want. You could be very right in wanting to conquer the bad with good but fail at it for the simple reason of impatience. Hold your peace and follow the right way of fixing mistakes even if there are a lot of protocols, especially as is the case with most government processes. You cannot be rogue because you want to make things right. You will not have the blessings of the universe.

3.  Choose to focus on the good.

You could have a million reasons to be disappointed and give up, but please do not. The universe is telling you in several ways that you should choose to focus on the good. Look at how generous nature is. The sun shines on both the just and unjust, and so does the rain. The universe conquers the bad with the good through indiscriminate acts of nature. The good in this is that it benefits everyone and empowers agents of change to finally conquer evil.

4.  Connect with nature.

Truth is that there is so much good in nature more than everywhere else. It is the only place where you can reconnect with your spirit and come back to the world as a newer person. Take that walk alone to be away from toxic people who want to see you fail. You will have fresh thoughts of good things and your spirit will be recharged to come back and conquer the bad in your life in a more positive way.

5.     Watch out not to be consumed with the bad.

A lot of things happen when you want to conquer the bad in your life. You could be passionately consumed in this fight and end up losing yourself and your identity as a hero. Watch out not to develop the same bad habits that you are fighting against because you are obsessed with them. Have limits on what you can do even if it is for the right reasons. These boundaries will keep you in check not to succumb to the same thing you are going against.

6.     Do something.

You cannot conquer the bad with empty words or idle thoughts. While it is true that conquering evil needs an elaborate plan, you cannot plan endlessly. You will finally have to act. Your actions and those of like-minded people will collectively help to conquer the bad you are up against. Do not keep on postponing your actions or wait for someone else to make a move. The bad will thrive as you are undecided.

7.  Have a plan on the way forward.

The universe is orderly. Your orderliness in conquering the bad with the good depends a lot on the plan you have to move forward. Are you looking at only going past this obstacle or have you put measures for the same in the future?

The fight of the good against the bad is constantly evolving and a good plan will make you eventually win. Your plan could include long-term ways of neutralizing the bad in your life, for example, changing your environment. There is a lot of space for your growth and you should be in an environment that gives you exactly that – growth.

8.  Focus on the problem, not the people.

The bad is always the problem, not the people. People are only instruments of perpetuating the bad in our society. They can change and become good people. The universe wants you to know that it has plenty of solutions for every bad thing happening to you.

Do not hate other people for the bad they do. Hate the vices they promote and do. As you use good as a weapon in this fight, you will neutralize this toxicity and win them to be good people.

9.  Join a community of good people.

You may think that there are no good people in society but it may surprise you that there are many more good people like yourself, you just have not met them yet. The universe is one big ecosystem with all manner of people and if you look closely enough, you will find people just like you. Together, you can impact nature positively and make the world a better place.

The fight against evil can only be won by doing good. Although it may look like a long shot at slaying evil, it is the surest path the universe has put forth for us to follow. It is possible to have your heaven here on earth – a dream come true! 

The promise of eternity.

We often receive the promise of a forever from our loved ones. They promise to love us and stay by our side forever. We can take this to the bank because we trust that their word is true. However, there is one promise that is rarely made and when done, hardly fulfilled. It is the promise of eternal peace. You wouldn’t believe a promise of eternal peace, would you? I have news for you – the universe is promising all believers eternal peace.

Eternal peace is tranquility and calmness in all your days. It means that nothing major that you cannot recover from shall upset your calmness. We often see it fail than succeed because of daily media reports of conflicts around the globe, some of which blow out of proportion. Despite the several cases of lack of peace, the universe holds that you can have eternal peace ONLY if you follow its guidelines.

The path to eternal peace is full of the glory of the universe. As you walk on it, you are blessed with favor and grace to fulfill all your heart’s desires. It is not enough to desire eternal peace and the whole package that comes with it. You need to commit to staying on the right path and the universe shall bless you in every way.

Tips to achieve eternal peace.

1.  A good dancer knows when to leave the stage.

The goal is to be perfect in all that we do. Our progress in life is like an ascending graph. You can see how you started lowly until you rose to the climax and became the guru that you are right now. Everybody has their time to shine and that is how the universe has rightfully decided. When you have become a good dancer and the audience loves you, be careful not to overstay your welcome.

Eternal peace is possible when you appreciate that there is life beyond your time on stage. They call it the “retirement phase” in public service. Here, you need to give space to upcoming gifted people to shine. Your eternal peace comes from the joy of other people inheriting your service to nature.

2.   Practice Forgiveness.

Forgive. Do not hold back forgiveness even from those who do not ask for it. Your peace of mind is more important than your ego. This is not to dismiss your hurt. Forgiveness is like rails on a bridge. They prevent road users (motorists and pedestrians) from straying and falling into the water. When you practice forgiveness, you give your spirit peace to heal. Choose to stay on the path to eternal peace by practicing forgiveness daily.

3.   Preserving nature’s ecosystem.

Nature’s ecosystem is seeking your protection. Fulfillment does not come from only what you do but also from supporting nature. Protect trees and animals from dangerous human practices that endanger their life. Look beyond your profitability but the bigger picture which is the universe. Your conscious will be free from the guilt of hurting innocent creatures. It may look as if it does not matter but your conscience is insurance to peace.  

4.     Build your people skills.

People skills, otherwise known as soft skills, help build a good relationship with people around you. We are interdependent in one way or the other. No help is too little. It could not be materialistic but mental support. It holds your hand as you walk down the path of eternal peace. Relate well with people and they will grant you company in peace. Peace is not loneliness or solitude. Good company is a recipe for peace.

5.   Intentional living.

Intentional living is discipline to stay on the path of eternal peace. It helps you build your life around the values and principles you believe in. Intentional living brings satisfaction to your spirit and you focus on only the things that matter to you, nothing more. It is the perfect solution for an undecided mind that seeks eternal peace, but first, you need to have ready-made principles and beliefs that will be your guiding star.

6.     Develop a firm personality.

Your personality matters a lot in helping you secure your path to eternal peace. There is no promise that you will have it easy and this is where a firm personality comes in handy. Nothing should change your mind about pursuing it. The universe does not listen to an undecided spirit and should it find you guilty, then you should forget about eternal peace until you become decisive.

7.  Be brave.

One of the avenues of getting eternal peace is being brave to do what other people would shy away from. You should be ready to make unpopular decisions that shall guard your peace and interests above other things. It is dangerous to go with a wave and make binding decisions without thinking things over carefully. Look at people you know who have been vocal about their positions on issues.

There is a certain peace that comes with being decided. Other people can then choose their sides, to be with or against you. Eternal peace goes to those who are ready to defend it. Are you ready to do anything to secure your peace?

8.     Appreciate the universe.

As a general principle, you receive more when you appreciate. Appreciate the little calmness that the universe has brought your way. The world is largely chaotic and life that is unguided by the principles of nature suffers a lot of setbacks. Even as you seek eternal peace, appreciate the little ‘breathing space’ that you have.

9.  Live under the universe’s shade.

Guidance saves you from making a lot of mistakes. You will get the gift of eternal peace from the universe if you allow it to guide you in everything that you do. Consider it a teacher-student relationship where the student gains more by being teachable. More so, a good relationship with the universe will help you to even know what to do in your life of eternal peace.

Many people want eternal peace but are not ready to follow through with what they should do to get it. With this knowledge, you are now closer than before to entering the world of eternal peace. You should give it a try.
