Feeling Good in the New-ness


You can't go back under any circumstances! Throw gasoline on the bridge. Strike a match and burn it. You can't go back to the old you...because you know that person is your greatest enemy. You can't go back to the old habits...becaus­e those choices will sabotage you. You can't go back to that old relationship. That old relationship not only held you back, but it got you off track, and dislocated you from yourself. You can't go back to the same old people...becaus­e the person they once knew doesn't live here anymore. You can't go back to the old places...becaus­e they don't fit into your future.
Look at yourself. Be honest with yourself. Don't look back because in doing so, you will be pulled back in. Keep your eyes looking forward. Work on yourself. Develop yourself. Pursue your dream. Build a new life by attracting new people, and creating a new reality! This is your time! You can't go back...because you've come too far to turn around now Les Brown, author and motivational speaker

I woke up this morning feeling energized and brand new. Just as I was getting ready to have breakfast I picked up my morning readings and Les Brown was staring me in the face, I thought that I must share it today!

Throw gasoline on the bridge and burn it! There is no way, no route back! Forward only! How awesome is that? Choose to move forward!

Today is my birthday I am spending it in Uganda, no one on the base knows I haven’t really told anyone, I had a wonderful breakfast, and I realised wait, I am spending this birthday with myself, this is different to by myself! With yourself is when you are happy to spend time in your own company, with yourself is having faith knowing that you are being groomed and prepared for something big!

Today I spend time with myself and I am grateful!

So what did I learn today?

I’m out of the comfort zone and feeling good in the new-ness

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...

  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...
