Love Yourself Through It
This is all temporary, love yourself through it - Lalah Delia
Life is such a blessing, a teacher and a guide, all rolled up into one. I marvel at how much we have the answers we seek within if we would only be still enough to hear and then courageous enough to believe.
Life guides us through the ups and the down's once we are present and paying attention.
Many of us run from discomfort, we hide from it through distractions and making up stories. In my case I believed that pain was some type of punishment. What I have learnt is that pain is the flipside of joy. There are lessons and blessings on that journey as well. The lesson is to stay present, to be focused , to stop making up stories or punishing oneself. Once I accepted that I am being guided, I was able to make better decisions. Acceptance does mean liking it, it simply meant acknowledging that the situation showed up shown up in my life. Starting there gives me a grounding, then remembering that it is all temporary and to love myself through it.
Life presents us with the guidance we need once we are open and willing and still.
As Lalah Delia says, which is so beautiful.....Journey In Grace.
Peace
