Today brings what it must

The dawn brings a clear sky,

Light shining through the darkness,

Promises of a bright and beautiful day.

Learning and growing all the time

Life is such a wonderful journey.  A roller coaster ride lasting a life time.

Sometimes things are on such a high that we can't contain all the happiness and fun that we have and I am sure that we all believe that the good times will never end.  I know from my own experience that when everything in life is going so well in life we tend not to think that bad things can happen or that life can change suddenly.

Love, gratitude and positive thinking

Most of us look at things that we long for, wait for events to happen to make us happy.  We are always waiting for something to happen or to get something which we feel will make us happy and bring meaning to our life.  How much further from the truth could we be.

As we wait for things to get better, that is the intention we set - waiting for things to get better - and that is the only reality we will experience.  We will only experience what we choose to and if we choose to wait for things to happen then that is the only experience we will have.

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.

The power within

In times of trouble we always tend to turn to someone else to strength and support.  Of course this always helps, sharing our troubles always lessens the intensity of it.

Have you ever tried turning to yourself for strength? it may seem one of the toughest things to do when you are down, but you will be amazed by what you hold within yourself.  Clarity of thought, peace, calm and understanding are some of what you will surely find inside.  And above all else Love and strength to take each step forward to carry on.

And in time you will see how the strength and courage you funded from within takes you on your journey holding you in love always and in all ways.

I think difficulties arise so that you can truly know what you are made of and capable of.

Have a blessed day

Face the truth, face yourself

Be true to yourself - something we hear of from motivational and inspirational talks.  But do we really understand what this means or do we just accept it at face value?

I have been saying that I must be true to myself, do what is best for me while keeping everyone happy as well.  Sometimes it's all easier said than done, we can't please everyone all of the time!  It's only when we have an experience that puts us face to face with the issue that we understand its true meaning.  We cannot live by others experience of life, we must have our own experiences as we walk our path.

This is my understanding of being true to yourself:

Today is a good day

Good days, bad days, in between days,
Each day bring with it all kinds of experiences and emotions.

Do what is best for you

There are all kinds of people in the world, those who encourage you, wish the best for you and will always let you hold your power, those who wish to manipulate you, take your energies from you, want to control you all the time and those in between who while not really meaning to take your power and keep you in their control may end up doing it when circumstances arise.

The best things in life are free

To love someone,
Enjoying the sunshine,
Watching the starry sky,
Bonding with your pet,
Being happy with who you are,
Doing a random act of kindness,
Helping others when they are down and assisting them to get back on their feet,
Making a smile brighten another being's day,
Sitting quietly and observing nature,
Walking in nature,
Being still and listening to your angels,
Being in communion with the Divine through everything you do.

A true friend

The world has become one large city and we have friends from all over the world.  Social networking sites have taken the concept of friendship to a new level, there are people with thousands of friends on their friend list and there are those who have just a few friends.

The feminine - balance and harmony

It's Sunday morning, I've been up for more than two hours, and just got a chance to sit down now.  I even had my coffee standing up!!  Not wanting to go into detail and boring everyone; the morning chores, sending my husband off for his cricket having made a hot breakfast and a packed lunch, looking after our pets needs, I finally get to sit down for a little while.

Because we are worthy

Who decides who is worthy and who is not?
Are some of us better or worse than another being?

Rest awhile and start again

Feeling tired and weary
The pressures and burdens of life weighing heavy on your shoulders
There is too much to do and you are being pulled in different directions.

Sit down with the angels,
Rest while you take comfort and regain your strength with the loving beings,
Unburden your worries and anxieties,
Share your problems and step back from the midst of all that you are facing.

Resting awhile before you get up and carry on
You will see that you are stronger than before
And you will be able to go much further,
The path is easier.

There is always help and a comforting shoulder to lean on,
You are never alone, you can never be,
The first step is to reach out to share and you will find the person you are looking for,
Waiting in the shadows, waiting patiently for you to step forward.

A problem shared is a problem halved,
And you will move on with greater strength.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Defeat - failure or temporary set back

How do you look at defeat?

Do you take it as a failure and give up or a temporary set back where you take time to recuperate and come back fighting?

We cannot succeed in everything we do, there will be times in our lives when we face defeat in something.  It is part of our life, it is how we react and come out of it that matters more than the actual event that defeated us.

If we say that we are giving up, that it is too difficult for us to try again, then we are accepting failure which is an end in itself.  We are accepting that we are not capable of something and this may be even before we have started on something.  It may be that when we hit the first stumbling block, we think that it's too much for us to handle.  The other extreme is that we keep trying again and again and still find that we do not succeed.  In this case are we being too stubborn and are not allowing ourselves to see that this may not be the path for us?

If we can keep ourselves open to looking at things in a different light, from a different perspective, we can then find a way out of the defeat by shifting our thought process to see things differently and we will be able to come back fighting to make a success or change direction so that we can go on the right path to success.

I believe the key is in being open to accepting that what we see as the right path may not necessarily be true.  The destination may be the same, but we may have to change directions to get there.  And by doing this we are not accepting defeat as a failure, but as a temporary set back from where we can keep going till we reach our final destination.

For if we never try, we will never know where we can reach.

You be the centre of peace

YOU be the centre of peace
Calm in the midst of turmoil
Strong as the winds howl around you
Peaceful as you are surrounded by chaos.

From this centre of peace
You are the force that can bring calmness to any situation
Filling the situation with Love
And changing negative to positive.

Rest assured that you are where you are meant to be
In a situation that is bringing to you what you need to experience
And in that knowledge move forward and change things for the better.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Expectations

We all have expectations in life - whatever it may be, from people, from situations - it is a part of our daily life.  We already have a preconceived notion or expectation when we do something of how it should work out, or how or what a person should do in return.

We are all equally worthy

When we think of Masters or Teachers or Gurus, they always seem to be someone who has already passed on, or in some rare cases they are here today and held in reverence by all those around.

Life is what you make of it

Life is what you make of it
It can be anything you choose it to be

You can have fun in everything you do
Experiencing life as it should be
For life is a joyful experience and will always be whatever the situation

How we decide to react to Life determines how we experience it.

My personal preference is to sing, play, dance, love through life because that feels much better than being unhappy, miserable and complaining about life all the time.

And having a positive outlook on life is much healthier as well!

Enjoy life for that is what it's meant to be.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Each step takes you to the next

One step is all that it takes.

The final goal, the dream, the place you want to get to is there in the distance and you know you have chosen to reach it.

Happiness is in the present

Happiness is a state of being
It's how we feel that puts us in this state of being.

We find so many reasons why we can't be happy in the present
Always telling ourselves that we will be happy when a particular thing happens
And when it does happen we are happy for a while
And then think of the next thing to happen that will make us happy.
