Are you Ready?


“When you come to me be ready, be ready, be ready, be ready I cannot explain it I cannot contain it My soul flies free. There's really no contest We are so  God Blessed” Jill Scott singer and song writer

The question was posed to me “are you ready” Now that seems like a pretty basic question doesn’t it? One may ask ready for what? This was exactly my response because it was such a random question. Well let me tell you it was one of the best lessons I have had thus far. Life is always in session and we have a tendency to wait, wait until something changes or  for something external to show up or happen  before we “get ready” but I’ve learnt that it is me who has to show up to participate because guess what? Life is ALWAYS in session. Listen, creativity doesn’t stop or start, music doesn’t stop or start, it is ALWAYS going on it is we who decides well not now, not here, it’s not the right time and you are not prepared, you are not ready! but there’s never a day when “it’s not there “it’s up to ME to SHOW UP READY .

So what did I learn today?
I’ve learnt that being ready means suspending all judgement, suspending all guilt, fear shame, doubt, resistance and lack, being ready means unwavering belief in yourself and your abilities, being ready means showing up with your A Game every single time. Being ready means being authentic and open to the possibility that it may not show up exactly the way you planned and to know when to be flexible, not having attachment on how it shows up and stressing about it. Being ready is putting in the work, not just the physical but the mental, emotional and spiritual work.
Open up yourself to the possibilities now, get ready now, because now is all you have.

So are you ready?

Peace!

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

  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
