Be anxious about NADA!!


If you knew you had a choice about what kind of life you could be living, would you choose different? If you knew failure is impossible, what would you do? If it were true that everyone you meet is you in another body, how would you treat them? If love was the true currency of the Uni-verse and the more you gave away the more you received, how would you spend it? If fear were the biggest illusion and the greatest lie of all time, how would you choose to live your life? If the Uni-verse always supported a life lived towards achieving dreams, how big would you dream? Jackson Kiddard author

I love Jackson Kiddard’s work, and what’s even better with it is that he walked his talk! I read his stuff when I realize that I am choosing to enter the pity party club! Because I now make an effort to pay attention to what I am feeling I become aware when I am paying the fee to enter the pity club to party! Awareness is the first step to being conscious and also to healing!

So yesterday I was dressed up and ready to enter the pity party. Why is it that the things I want to achieve is coming so slow or not coming at all? Where do I find some food that I like, wouldn't it be nice to call up some friends now and go and hang out, talk and laugh? Blah blah, blah!! Then I caught myself and I was like wait a minute. Did anyone force you to be here? Did you not choose this? Do you not love what you are doing? Do you not believe that your blessings have your name on it? So let’s blow this pity party!!  I went to my David Rudder archive and changed the party to one with him and me dancing down the place in Kampala!! Had a better time there!! Must apologize to the other members of the compound today for all the noise!!


So what did I learn?
Feel the feelings, acknowledge them and then act! I have learnt that my blessings have my name on them there is no need to be anxious about anything. A wise woman told me hurry birds don’t build good nest! Being anxious will not help to add anything more than stress and worry! I have learnt that patience is experiencing the journey fully and consciously rather than rushing to experience a particular result! Live in the now moment and know that now is all that you have for sure! Just know that your life is good with a capital G!!!
Be anxious about NADA!
Peace!!

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
