To take a hit or not.
I was watching my daughter play hockey last night. Now she got hit in the ribs with the hockey ball... Standing on the side line all I could think was ouch.. my poor baby... But she surprised us all. She rub the ribs and promptly got stuck back in to the game...
After the game we talked about this...and she said Mum I thought about getting out of the way, but then they would have scored a goal... SO I took the hit...
No how many of us in life are prepared to take the hit?? How many times are we hit with what life has to offer, and how many times do we just get up and keep going or do we stop and think the hurts?
Life sometimes is not fair and the hits hurt. These hits my bruise our ego, our pride and our hearts. But are they really enough to bring us down. Or do we go wow... I took the hit and they did not score the goal.
Look at what others do and say, are they trying to score against you???
If so do you take the hit and keep going or do you let them score?
Sometimes as we travel the road before us, we feel we are alone. But. We are not alone. Yes we may feel that we have no one near us. We may feel as if we have to go through life alone..... BUT STOP!!! we are not alone. We are never truly alone. It is not always about who to talk too, who can take your hand or who can hold you. Sure these things are awesome and beautiful. IT is about you. Yes You. Your strength, your power, your journey, your ability to love yourself.
I Love my friends when they turn my words round on me. This makes me smile. as we go through life we are the student and the teacher.
I Love how people you least expect can make you smile, can take one simple word and turn it into something magical and beautiful...One text sent at a strange time...one message left with the greatest of intentions...the cat and dog having a stand off over who gets on the blanket...Take the time to smile or even better that belly laugh. The one that bubbles up deep from with in you, let it roar out.
May Spirit go with you and guide you. Blessings too all who read this....Love to you all...
Do you ever feel as if you take 2 steps forward and one step back? I know I do...
Some days life is absolutely great and you feel as if you are flying, moving forward... Then BAM.... something turns up to turn your life upside down. What do you do when these times hit? Do you stop and worry? Do you get upset and angry?
These emotions are fine, if you can can acknowledge them and no it is ok to feel like that. What is not ok is to let those feelings dominate you.... You have to be be still, feel yourself and what is happening inside you... Stop and breathe, relax, feel every breath that goes into your body, feel the tension and pent up e motions slowly but surely dispersing and leaving your body. AS these feeling leave your body, feel the new life and blessing entering...
I know it sounds so easy, But I know for me that it is not always easy that I have to work hard at the letting go... Hanging on to those old feelings feels safe, it is like a security blanket, or old coat that we have known for years... It might look ugly but it feels comfortable. The new coat is just not the same...
Yet as we let go of the old and embrace the new we start to feel more comfortable with the new coat. It starts to become part of us. My Question is do you want the new coat or are you happy with the old??
If you like the old then so be it, but don't complain when things may not be as you wish.... If you want the new coat then reach out for it, take it, embrace it. Let is sit on your shoulders and wrap you up. Let yourself feel how wonderful and cozy the new is... Say thank you for the new, ask to be shown how to wear the new, how to move with the new. It is all up to you, how you feel and what you will accept...
If someone is not sitting right with you, talk to them about what is going on, if they don't hear you then you have to decide if that person is still needed in your life... The letting go and cleaning out the old, always makes room for the new. I know that it is sometimes painful to let go of the old, to let go of people who no longer serve you highest good, yet when we do let go and accept that we are on a journey and it is our journey and people come and go, it may not be easier to let them go, but you understand that relationships of all sorts are for giving and receiving, teaching and learning. When the lesson has been learnt it is time to move on...
Are you stuck or are you moving on?
Well some people have been telling me to slow down and rest.... hahah today I have been made too... You see a little while ago I sprained me ankle... usually no big deal as it happens quite a bit... well it has not been healing. Some days it would feel fine then all of a sudden it would roll again... So today i bit the bullet and went to see the doctor who sent me to physio...Seems as though it is not a normal sprain as it is on the inside of the foot not the outside.... and by doing what i did it seems that i may have dislocated the ankle as well..... so now I am on crutches for a couple weeks to give it a rest.... talk about slowing you down... sometimes you can not heal yourself... sometimes you do have to go and ask other for help.
This is not just in our physical life but our emotional life and spiritual life as well... Oh yes we do have the answers inside us but sometimes it can take another person to help turn on the light switch that allows the healing process to start...
The story that has got me this far. As one of my lovely friends once told me I was from the earth born of fire. Now we all have times in our lives that require us to be broken, where we feel totally exhausted, totally alone. The Good thing about those times is we grow. We are forced to grow or we hide and stagnate and life will not get better. During these dark times it is important to notice your surroundings.... The little things, notice that the sun rises every morning, some things do not change. The moon goes through her cycles. Just as we do...Share with me the journey of growth.
Each journey starts with small steps... Each day starts with us rising up out of our bed and putting our feet on the floor. Yet many times we are scared to take the first step. What is holding you back from taking that first step??? Is it fear? Fear of what, being a failure or being successful? You only fail if you give up. Everyone ones says they want to be successful, to be rich. Yet we hold ourselves back by the thoughts we hold in our heads. Have a look at your thoughts, look at your inner desire and dreams... Where do you want to be?
Some times along the journey we get surprised...You make a comment to someone and that grows. Just like a seed planted... But like every seed that is planted to make the relationship grow it need to be nurtured... You need to feed it and care for it... Build it up not break it down. The building by saying kind words and doing small things that are unexpected... Do you treat each relationship you have as if it precious? This could be your friends, your children, your parents or a partner. Do you treat them as you wish to be treated? Words are powerful, they can build the mightiest army or bring the strongest person down... Watch the words that come from you, but before the words take a look at the thoughts that are dominating your mind. Make them filled with love, when your thoughts are love then your actions are love too. A kind word or deed can really make someones day... What have you done to day to make another feel better about themselves?
