There's more to you than meets the eye


"Each individual has within himself the seeds of fear and faith, anger and love, anxiety and peace of mind,despair and hope. We are a strange mixture of good and evil, and as a result, we are inside ourselves, a battle ground" as outlined in The Supreme Philosophy of Man, Alfred A Montapert

Iyanla sums this up best for me in her work, she says what you refuse to accept about other people is what you refuse to acknowledge about yourself. Yesterday I was arguing with reality and forgot that I learnt that when you argue with reality you suffer! Acceptance is something that I have more to learn about and it's really quite simple, acceptance does not mean liking the situation, it means you see it, you don't deny it and then you deal with it. I always have a choice, if you don't like the situation, make the choice to bless it and walk the hell on by! Why argue, fuss, fret and should about it? Don't really help does it. Ego and beliefs keep us in bondage.

So what did I learn today? This was such a big lesson to me I literally howled when it came to me, I said thank you to the teachers! Its one of my favourite lessons, would love to hear your thoughts

A trying situation is a lesson that is being presented again because you failed to learn it before. This way you can undo your past mistakes. So where you made a faulty choice before you can NOW make a better one. The Universe is saying "my sister, choose again". Oh the beauty of choice- how awesome! No need to fret and beat up, its simple if the same thing keeps happening over and over, pay attention, get the lesson and get out of the mess- make another choice
Peace!!!!!

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  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...
