Life as we know it


It's been a while since I sat down and blogged.  I can think of a lot of different reasons as to why I didn't sit down and pen a few lines, the list goes on.  Looking within, I realise the reason I could not write was because there was so much turmoil within myself that it it was too emotional to actually write coherently.


Not that the turmoil has passed, it's just that I am able to deal with it better. Sharing troubles and confiding in a trusted person is very important - a problem shared is a problem halved is true. When we start talking about things that trouble us, we can actually see it from a different perspective and also the feedback we get from our confidant opens up new perspectives and makes us look at the situation from a different angle. Sometimes this opens up the solutions that elude us because we are too close to and inside the situation that we can't see the truth for what it is.

Having confronted the issue and knowing what the solution is only the first part of dealing with the issue. Taking action to rectify the trouble or turmoil is the next step which can be even more daunting because the steps that you may have to take could be life altering changes.

Courage and strength, faith and trust all come into play when you have to take big steps in life especially when you do not know what the outcome may be.  It can be a leap of faith into the void not knowing where you will land and what you will encounter. But does that mean that you will not take that step?  I don't think so, because however difficult it may be, unless we are willing to let go and take the step we will not be able to let go of what is not serving us anymore. And only if we take that leap of faith can we move forward.

Forever does not mean that we have to stay in a situation that no longer serves us, it means that we should be willing to change as the need arises.  Love is not static, it is dynamic, meaning it should and will change - growing and changing form as time goes.

It only takes one step to make a change for the better, and sometimes when we are reluctant to make the change necessary to take us forward, the universe forces us to take the step by bringing us to a point where we can't ignore or resist anymore.  It is only when we look back that we realise this.  What we resist will persist.  So if you want to get out of a toxic situation, the only way is to let it go however much it may hurt at the time, because that is the only way you can get out of it and move forward.

Trust that you will always have a shoulder to cry on, a warn hug to comfort you in times of need and a trusted friend to take you through the difficult time.

In the end Love and Truth will always prevail however much we deny it.

In Love and Light
