A Casual Conversation

An unexpected cold has come on from nowhere really.

My head is so stuffy and my nose and throat feel like they are on fire.

My body feels a bit weary , yet my mind is busy, busy going many miles an hour so I’ve decided to slow down for a bit and listen to my body.

This week found me trying to re-evaluate things, reconnect , reflect, do some soul searching  and  a bit of tweaking.

My life these days is filled with finding my creativity and coming up with worth while projects to benefit those I come into contact with.

It’s not always easy and there are always many ideas and sometimes no direction or sense of implementing them.

It can be a bit frustrating when you want to do so much , yet resources are so limited.

Nevertheless, the show must go on and dreams keep coming.

This week I thought I would take a chance to de-clutter my brain and try to find clarity with many things.

There is work, there’s family, relationships, friends, hobbies, dreams and ideas all needing nurturing.

There are many subsets to these compartments in life.

It’s nice to be free and go with the flow, but then one also needs discipline and deadlines to achieve anything.

I figure this is where it begins.

If I want to write, then I need to write more and be consistent.

To maintain relationships, one must find time to ring, text, email and or visit, as time goes quickly leaving room for regrets and ‘what ifs’ .

If I want to be more creative, then I need to open myself to more ideas, different ways of doing things, be open to change and be brave as I allow myself to explore.

There are dreams and aspirations and all those little things that become big things when they drive our passion and desires.

Life is about balance, about love, about looking after ourselves.

This brings me to a new focus which is nothing to do with crazy dieting, but well balanced health.

Eating and drinking right, having enough exercise and sleep.

At this point, sleep is not as straight forward for me as it could be.

I have always had this love -hate relationship with sleep where I love it and would sometimes like more of it especially at nights but it is quite the opposite.

I am a nocturnal person and it can be very difficult to go to bed at a decent time but I do try .

When that doesn’t happen, I try to use my time wisely and productively to create, dream, build and find ways forward.

I know that I only have one body, and as I grow older and hopefully wiser, I appreciate life a lot more than I ever did before.

All the simple things in life make me happy.

I am being more of who I am and I worry less and less of what others may think.

I am more considerate and compassionate.

I am finding my inner child again and dreaming big once more,

I see people for who they are and enjoy trying to get to know and understand them.

I am much more open to other ideas and ways of thinking.

I can listen without imposing my point of view .

I don’t have to argue just because I disagree and this is making life much more easy for me.

I embrace this world , its people, all of creation and I embrace me.

I know this may have been all over the place today and I apologise if I bore anyone but it feels so good just emptying my brain.

With  much love and light

until next time.

Stepping Stone

 

Sometimes in order to live the life we truly want, without restrictions or being held back, we have to let go.

To let go and move on  can be a very difficult concept because this means getting out of our comfort zone.

In order to move forward, we may have to give it all up and start over. 

It can be a very difficult concept, but if it is what needs to be done, then we have to be focused and carry on.

Having a vision is one thing, actually getting up and being proactive is another.

Change is always scary, no one denies. However, we have to break things up and shake things to restructure our lives.

The journey may not be  smooth and we may have to leave things and people behind, but looking back upon arrival to our destination, one knows it has been worth it.

Always aspire to be the best that you can be. 

Don’t be shy to go after what you desire, regardless of what anyone else may think.

Only you know your potential and your abilities are limitless.

Our mind are powerful tools. Even when the physical body is tired, the mind is still active. In many cases, the mind wills the body back to life.

Go on forward, make waves, jump over hurdles, and then you can enjoy the sand between your toes.

It is true what they say. “Life is what we make it.”

Make it worthwhile.

Enjoy all of creation.

Build your dreams, keep creating, keep aspiring, be inspired.

Do not let anything stunt your growth.

Keep reaching for the light.

Only you know your desires and how badly you want them .

Always have that passion for something.

Give life meaning in whatever situation you find yourself in.

Open your heart and be willing to receive as well as give.

Be open to compliments, to love, to learning, to living abundantly.

Think for yourself, make use of opportunities.

Be fierce and don’t apologies for your strengths.

Embrace your gifts and talents and use them for the good of mankind.

Whatever path you follow, be sure it makes you happy, it brings you peace.

Place your feet on your stepping stone and move towards higher heights.

You are, you can be, you will be.

The question is…

HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT IT?

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.

True Equality

Until mankind is prepared to truly engage and act upon bringing true equality in EVERY capacity, it has NO business uttering the word.

Equality is not about embracing pockets and discarding what MAY NOT apply to one, one’s family circle or friends circle. It’s about justice in EVERY sense of the word.

Just my thought.
A blessed day/evening to all.

Seeds Of Hope

Today I plant my feet on determined soil.

 I claim my blessings and face my fears. Let it begin today.

Let me walk with my hopes and dreams in my heart, as I step forward in faith.

For all those ‘impossibles’, it’s time to turn them into the ‘possibles’. Let the walls  come down.

Today I renew my thoughts so that I can start afresh. I will find the positive in everything.

I will be flexible, going into bends and when the boat is rocking, I will still be riding high.

I will wipe out shame and disappointment and create my sunrise.

This is the day of new beginnings. Times of gloom and being defeated are now gone.

It’s up to me to get up and walk, stand up and fight, to face my fears and walk into my triumph.

Today I take life by the hand/; The good, the bad, the in-between. The known, the unknown, the bitter with the sweet. 

Today I walk with purpose and I walk with a mission because all negativity must now flee.

Today I begin to live for me.

As I come into my own, today is the beginning of the rest of my life.

Watch me paint a new canvas and recreate my story. Today I choose my ending as I enjoy the journey between.

Today I live, today I breathe, today I smile.
