What if you have to right life, right now?

 Are you willing to grow? That’s what it says, untethered soul. Are you willing to untether yourself? Has nothing to do with life. Every one of you has just the right life that you need in order to go to God, period. Michael Singer 

Many of us ask ourselves the question "What is the meaning of life?" 

Some as "What is it about me that I am not able to get life right?"

Others say "Life will happen when I get, achieve and have certain things or get into certain situations"

What I have learnt is, starting off from a place of wrong, lack, not enough and waiting on the perfect conditions leaves us with a feeling that we are not ok. That we must do something, anything to live life right.

We do not get out of life alive, everyone has to die and so the question to me has shifted to "what d I do with this time given here to live a life of joy, peace and love?" Shifting to this empowered question and knowing that I am ok starts me off on a totally different head space.

I make mistakes.

I piss people off.

I make poor choices.

I judge others.

Despite all this, knowing that I am ok and this life, is the "right" life for me has given me a whole other perspective. I can view all of the mistakes, poor choices, judgement as experiences, lessons and guides.

I can ask myself empowering questions, rather than focus on what is "wrong and bad" with me.

Give it a go, see what happens.

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
