Hello Readers,
Commit yourself to being a trusted voice of light and truth. Reach back and help others, but stay committed to being the change you want to see in the world. We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand. Go wisely and slowly. Those who rush tumble and fall. Don’t try to solve serious matters in the middle of the night and always speak politely to an enraged dragon because shouting and aggression won’t win the day. You may think your light is small, but it can make a huge difference in someone else’s life.
Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t. No matter how many people offer you advice, in the end you are going to do what your heart knows best. Advice can be a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise because there are never any guarantees. When you ask someone for guidance there is no guarantee the information you get will be good. You hope it will be and you usually try to ask people that you believe to have competency in the matter, but no one is perfect and sometimes the advice you get may not be appropriate, or even foolish. It could come from someone lacking enough life experience with this specific aspect, despite the familiarity with the subject overall. Getting bad advice could be worse than having no advice, but that’s the risk you take when you ask others to help you with a decision you need to make. Sometimes it works out, but occasionally it doesn’t. If you have a challenge right now that makes you feel inclined to seek out reassurances, try to form your own opinions first. Trust yourself always and you will learn in the process that you won’t have to rely on anyone else blindly.
Never not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such efforts may seem admirable, but it is always the way of foolishness. Instead, help them to discover the wonder and importance of an ordinary life and that way the extraordinary will take care of itself. An empty lantern provides no light. Self-care is the fuel that allows your light to shine brightly. Be mindful not to burn yourselves out and keep yourself in the best, healthy condition possible. Understand that there’s no such thing as the light at the end of the tunnel, you must realise that you are the light. Darkness is nothing but an opportunity to spread the light and above all else, be kind to yourself.
‘Be silent and safe, silence never betrays you.
Be true to your word and your work and your friend.
Put least trust in him who is foremost to praise you,
Nor judge of a road till it draws to the end’.
Love and light,
Linda and the Lulas xxx
