Please take care…of you

by

You have to take time for yourself otherwise you cannot accomplish all of the things, big and small, that you came here to accomplish.

People will want many things from you (sometimes all at once) but if you are down with a cold you cannot provide for anyone.

The boundaries around taking care of ourselves and taking care of everyone else often times get blurred. And then when we want to take care of ourselves, many people who want many things from us will cry and cry harder for help. What should your reply be? If I cannot take care of me how can I take care of anyone else?

If we have too much on our plate we cannot be there for anyone and we need, first and foremost, to be there for ourselves.

The past is the past. The future doesn’t matter. The only moment is now.

by

We are here to say that cleaning out your closets is a good idea. You forgive people just to have peace of mind. It does not mean that these people can continue to harm you in any way. It means the past is the past. The only moment is now. It’s not even the future that is of the utmost concern.

If you are more focused on the present and not the resentments of the past then you are more open to receive the great joy that is available NOW.

Our minds need a little spring cleaning from time to time

by
Spring clean your mind

Spring clean your mind

From time to time one must take inventory of his/her thoughts and dreams. What we don’t realize is that we come into this lifetime as a whole, complete individual separate from our friends and loved ones. Their impression is so deep on us, sometimes, that we forget who we truly are.

Much can be accomplished by re-evaluating our thoughts and beliefs and then assessing whether they are ours or if they are someone else’s. If they are someone else’s they don’t, often times, suit us well.

When we decide to get rid of some of these old patterns (that aren’t even ours) we really begin to thrive.

Do this on a deeper, subconscious level (the the aid of therapy and/or other tools) then the effect will be greater.

Do yourself a favor clean out the closets of the mind and get rid of those old thoughts and beliefs that no longer fit. That would be the best spring cleaning any one can do.

Change is easy

by

Sometimes when we want something in our lives to change the best thing to do is just put this request out to the universe. Then it is our job just to sit and listen and wait for the next move to appear right in front of our eyes. When the next prompting to move appears just move.

It is relatively simple. The part that is hard is deciding to change, being willing to change and then submitting to change. You do not have to think so hard once you decide to change. You, merely, have to listen within and be willing to change.

A lot goes into changing because we, often times, have a lot vested in our current situations. We are tied to certain payoffs of remaining the same. We are in old habits or we do not know that there is more.

Decide to change, be willing to change and then listen within and act when prompted. Then change will occur. It is relatively easy if you follow these steps. No need to over intellectualize it. It is more the willingness to change than anything that prompts the change. Don’t think it through, but, rather, listen within and change will occur.

Plug in. Everyday. And listen.

by
Plug in. And listen.

Plug in. And listen.

You did not come into this world to be anyone other than yourself. Great dis-content happens when you try to please everyone else. In fact, there is no way to please every one. If you are lucky you will find out what makes you happy and pursue your own, personal happiness. That is a life’s work in, and of, itself.

If someone tells you what to do know that that is what they would do. No one else is you so it is very unlikely that anyone, outside of yourself, will give you as good of advice as you can give yourself.

The hard part is learning to listen within. This takes practice and constant effort. If you can, listen within daily. And act on what information that you get as often as you get information (then you are well on your way to making yourself happy). So plug in everyday. And listen.

The gift

by
The gift is the challenge

The gift is the challenge

Things are hard, very hard. We came to Earth to be challenged. The challenge is the gift. To think otherwise makes life much harder than it needs to be.

The other gift is the fact that if you plug in, plug in more, all of the tools, resources and ability to get through anything will appear. So plug in more. Don’t fight the gift, the challenge; raise yourself up to the challenge. And then, guess what? Another challenge will appear. It is the nature of the game.

Appreciation

by

Sometimes we have to appreciate all things even if they are not exactly the way that we want them to be. Things are never going to 100% going to be perfect in our lives. We can appreciate all things, nonetheless. We, often times, get caught up in how (in our minds) we think things should be. This is an imperfect world, with imperfect people, with natural laws that make things hard (very hard). Is it not enough that we have love, have friends, have a life, have a job, have food on our tables? Those are many small miracles that get overlooked every day.

The more gratitude and appreciation we have for things, great and small, the more room that we create for more of the same. It is energy. Be in the energy of gratitude and you will create the space, more space, for more things to be grateful for.

With growth comes loss. But you must focus on the growth NOT the loss.

by
With change there is loss. Focus on the gains.

Focus on the growth not the loss.

Be aware that new life patterns are appearing as old life patterns are disappearing. As you grow you will leave what no longer suites you (or it will appear that these things will leave you). What is happening, simultaneously, is that a new skin appears as an old skin disappears.

When you are courageous enough to grow you will experience loss. However, you must count your blessings as they appear, for they are your new life and this new skin suites you well. In fact, it suites you better than your old skin.

With growth comes loss. But you must focus on the growth NOT the loss.

Try new things each day

by

When things don’t work out the way that we want them to we don’t say that we have failed we say at least we have tried. So many people get discouraged at failure, whereas, we think that focusing on the outcome is only part of the story. If you always focus on the outcome then you are less likely to to try, to try new things and to succeed. So try something new and adventurous each day. That will definitely lengthen your sense of how long your life is.

Things we are all learning

by
We are here to learn to love not love things

We are here to learn to love not love things

  • When something does not work out, despite how much effort we put into making it work, we can be okay with the fact that we have put effort into something that has not turned out the way that we wanted it to turn out.
  • The effort or the experience is sometimes more important than the specific outcome of the event or experience.
  • The path is more important than the destination.
  • The outcome is outweighed by the lessons learned.

(Earth puts a perspective on things that doesn’t necessarily serve us well right now).

  • We came here to learn not earn wages.
  • We came here to love not love things.
  • We came here to mend relationships not sever relationships.

That is all. Just a few lessons we are all learning. It’s much the same for nearly all of us.
