The up down and inbetween

The last few days have been stormy weather to say the least.
The wind has been battering  everything in sight and it’s been raining heavily.

The sea is quite choppy and the waves seem to be angry. Dark clouds have blanketed the skies but inbetween all of this, the sun still comes out to smile.

It feels like winter is battling with spring but change is inevitable and spring will come.
For every dark cloud that over shadows, the sky will be clear again.
Even  raging waters will become calm.
The wind will seize and so will the rain because life is all about changes.

Just as the weather changes, so to does life and circumstances.
It won’t always be sunshine, nor will it always rain.
Storms will rage and then there will be calm.

Know that no matter what you’re going through, things will get better.
There is hope.
Your storm will pass.

Love & Light.

Ageing

As time passes and we begin to understand who we are better, there is less effort spent in worrying about other people’s perception of who we are and more of doing what pleases us individually.
Slowly, we regain that child-like and carefree manner that makes us happy.

You see, this journey is a lot about being who we are, learning from experiences,growing, changing for the better, being intuitive and becoming wiser. It’s less about what people think of us, What we wear, What house we live in and how much money we make. Each one has his own path laid out, so it may mean having to rewrite a story while others are happy enough to live out what plans that is perceived to have been laid before them. Some of us continue to dream and recreate, some of us think it’s no use dreaming.

Whatever happens, age affects us all differently. Are we waiting for the Kingdom to come, or are we willing to make heaven here on earth. Is happiness a thing of dreams or are we willing to live life as oppose to just existing?
Do we learn and improve from experience, or keep repeating mistakes and methods just to have the same results.

To grow older is a privilege. Older in thoughts, feelings , experiences and wisdom…not just in number.
What does ageing mean to you?
Do you embrace the changes or get upset by them?
Do you look back and reminisce about old times while the present passes by?
Do you hope for things as they were or regroup and move with the times?

The things I have learnt along the way are very relevant and as I grow I see things in a different light. Some views may change, some may remain the same and some things will have totally new perspective. It doesn’t mean that you are being swayed or losing your way. It means you see things more clearly for what they are and the era we live in.

So maybe it’s time to complain less about this generation and share experiences and life lessons that will positively impact this one and the next. My philosophy on life is to not complain about problems for have possible solutions. Be part of the solution not add to the problem.
Every age, every era, every generation contributes to the next and can work neatly into the next even with the inevitable changes.

lets see less wrinkles, less greys, less frailty and speak more of what we can do to improve, rather than the same old “In my days,” phrase that gets lost on the ears as moaning and begrudging.

Let’s all age gracefully.
