The Awesomeness of Choice


You can change what you see. You don't have to be trapped by it.Nothing has to remain the way it is, and nothing is the way it is forever unless and until you say so. You really are in charge of your day-to-day experience. Really. (Neale Donald Walsh, author)

 
The awesomeness of choice! How bloody awesome is the ability we have to choose? Just imagine at any given moment we can change our mind, and from changing our minds, things follow, in fact according to the Budda, changing your mind causes a change in your life!

 I was thinking about this yesterday, who made me believe or why did I make myself believe that I have to be in a situation for longer than is required, and why? Because of shame, guilt and the dreaded fear? Well that is really not true, there is no martyrdom in staying somewhere, someplace or doing something that doesn’t serve your highest good or your highest self, trust that!! As soon as one makes a decision to serve the soul, to be happy to be the best they can be things fall into place because that is what the Universe wants for you!

All this comes from the interaction I had with one of the ladies who was caught robbing the project blind! The woman has been stealing and smiling! I took the thing personal! Why? I thought that I had invested time and effort into training and changing mindsets and then this! But I made a choice! I chose to look for the good in her, I chose to not take things personally and I chose to look for the lesson in the situation and move on! The ability to choose is a gift!
 

So what did I learn today?

The free will that we are ALL blessed with? Exercise it at any time for your highest good!!

It works

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.

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...
