HELLO READERS
Given the chaos and noise of daily life, it’s sometimes difficult to remember the fact that we only get one chance to live it. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed to anyone. To make life more bearable, try to surround yourself with people who inspire you, not those bring out the worst in you whilst bleeding you dry. Refuse to interact, or even acknowledge their negativity and toxicity because it will only give them more power and influence over your emotional state. If in doubt, walk away because there is nothing worth staying for. Your self preservation is far more important.
So many people trundled along oblivious to their surroundings without having a clue as to why they are alive, their purpose, nor who are? They follow anything for something, and they will do something for anything without any thought for the consequences or the cost. They function in a blurry, foggy vision in an unfocused world. Nothing is ever their fault and they can be relied upon to follow the local sheep, wherever they may go, into a field, or into a ditch. They won’t even remember how they got there in the first place, just that they did. Leave them there.
If a plan isn’t working out too well, change direction and give yourself the chance of achieving greater results by bravely trying different methods. Life is all about personal growth, embracing challenges and striving for improvement. Just the small matter of staying alive can prove incredibly daunting, complicated and not without its problems. As difficult as it can all be, there exists behind the thin veil of the ordinary, a brilliance that mystifies and exhilarates us down to the depths of our inner core. The simple act of living, and living reasonably well, is in itself a sacred gift to be cherished. If you only achieve one thing during your day, that’s enough.
Whilst grief can be overwhelming and painful, its presence and impact can bring about amazing changes affecting your future because nothing can be replaced nor ever be the same again. The key to this deep level of understanding is our attitude and responses to all the uncertainties we must face minute by minute. If you don’t know what to do for the best in any situation, just be kind and lend a helping hand to anyone who needs a friend. Be the voice of reason, compassion , empathy and experience. Never take anything nor anyone for granted because everything is on borrowed time. Life is fragile and much shorter than you can possibly imagine. One day all those people and pets who love you, those whom you think will be there forever, one day might not be.
Don’t pretend to be different to who you are just to make a others feel more comfortable. Be genuine in your friendships, but never allow anyone to destroy your confidence or credibility. They must be allowed to walk their own path whilst you pursue your own dreams and ambitions. Free yourself of the restrictions that others want to choke you with. Never again lower your standards to accommodate the inferior and wretched. You are what you do, not what you say. Doing nothing gets you nothing, so you cannot expect anything more. Have faith because concealed within the layers of challenges that difficulties are suggestions of opportunity and glimmers of light and hope. When you focus on being the best person you can be, you draw upon the inner strength and life force within your soul to carry on regardless of any opposition against all odds. Your happiness is meaningless unless it is linked with the total spirituality of the world around you.
Don’t die without embracing the daring adventure your life was always meant to be. Don’t be afraid your life will suddenly end, but that it will never begin because only those who dare to fail greatly can ever hope to achieve greatly.
“And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to blossom.”
Love and light,
