Subtle Reminders

Inspiration blossoms in beautiful ways. Watching a young child play reminds us to fill our days with more fun and excitement. Witnessing the kindness of the man assisting another person pick up the items that where only seconds ago being carried offers an example of compassion. The elderly couple holding hands as they sit on the park bench reinforces how love can grow stronger over time.

The ideas for each blog post come from observation - things I encounter each day. Listening to a mother talk about her teenage children, a young woman facing divorce, the man who finds it difficult to be lonely, and sometimes the posts are developed based on an experience I have gone through. It is when you set the intention of doing whatever it is you do for the highest good for all with harm to none, life will be more harmonious and peaceful. We possess the ability to make our own choices. There is no wrong way, there is no right way to do anything. The key element to living the life you wish to have is to stop the blame-game and take responsibility for the situation you've put yourself. This life you are living is your own creation.

The more I come to understand this concept, the less I like some of the decisions I've made. It is through these experiences I'm seeing the value in the statement “Live in the moment.” By living in the moment, from the point of Self-love, your actions are not driven by what someone did to you six years ago, what a lover told you once, how your parents raised you – oh, the list could on for miles. If the emotion you feel is painful, or offered a less than desirable way to value yourself, honor it as a lesson. Don't hold it internally and file it into your memory bank under “Description of Self.” Look at their opinion as that – an opinion. It is a projection from their personal experience. It is not necessarily yours to claim. You decide – TRUE or FALSE. Again I state, “This life you are living is your own creation.”

“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose.”
-Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
Want more love in your life – be more loving.

Want more drama in your life – be dramatic.

Want more peace – be peaceful.

What do you want to create for yourSelf?
