Humilty is recognition of truth!


When you set out on an ambitious path, there are plenty of things that might go wrong. Prepare yourself to deal with those possible pitfalls, but don’t allow them to become excuses even before they become reality. Ralph Marston

Lots of action today, went for a morning jog, my word it was another adventure dodging people, motor bikes, maxi’s and people! Felt good to run in the heat though! Attended my first staff meeting, that was decent. Big plans for the year!
Got some supplies for the power outages, next time I will be prepared, the power was gone all day today, I asked a guy when will the power be back he laughed so much at me! “Maam I cannot help you, it can be anytime” I started laughing too! I better get my head wrapped around this and fast!
I keep seeing over and over again how people get by with so little, things that I have taken for granted, things I feel that I am entitled to, that are basic. It’s not like that here well at least where I have been. Got me to thinking about how a sense of entitlement clouds the vision and the virtue of gratitude and humility. I am extremely grateful for every single thing now, and I have learnt that gratitude is the great multiplier, complaining is the opposite.

So what did I learn today?
Humility is recognition of truth. Your worldly accomplishments are a gift bestowed upon you by the universe. When you know that you actually do nothing and are simply a channel for the good, abundance, joy and peace that already existed before your birth to be rearranged to your preference you will be in harmony with life. The minute you buy into being the doer of anything you have taken yourself out of the flow and stepped back into ego thinking. Remain in a constant state of gratitude.

Peace!!

    Are there any book stores that sell interesting novels or other types of books that you can purchase to help pass the time, if you are at home during the day without any electricity?

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

Image
  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
