A small exercise for you today


I know, you want everybody and everything else to change, your father, your mother,boss, friend,lover,landlord, neighbour, sister or Government official must change so that your life can be perfect. It doesn’t work that way. If you want change in your life then it is you that must do the changing, when you change, then all the people in your world will change in relation to you. (Louise Hay, the queen of affirmations)

Be willing to do something for me today and let me know how it goes, take a moment and just be willing to not judge people and situations today! Just try it. I know, the ego screams at us, they should know better, why are they behaving like that?, why are they so this and why are they so that. Just try it! Its tough, yes! Because we have in our mind how we believe people and the world ought to be! But that’s your view and your view is definitely not the only view in the world! I am not saying to agree with everything, however acceptance is the first step in moving forward and that acceptance is without judgement! So try it, just for one day, leave the judgement and the shoulding and the ego at home! Brutally honest, you really are not superior to other people even if you drive a nicer car, have a so called better job, live in a so called better area, have a better looking partner or wear nicer clothes, all of those things are fleeting and says something about you but when they are all gone who are you?

I’m going to do it as well today because I need a reality check today as well!!

Let me know how it goes!

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
