Open Heart = Right Decision



"I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision." Maya Angelou




The difference between moving towards a challenge and not has always been for me making a firm decision. The moment I make a firm decision, it  seems as if my mind, body and soul all come together to make it happen. I find the time, I find the courage, I find the discipline and commitment to persevere through the challenge and through the challenging times.
The moment I remain in uncertainty and unwillingness, there is no way that I move forward with clarity. 
I have learnt to wait, to not force myself, if I am not willing to make a firm decision there is no way that the goal will be achieved. There is no alignment when our thought, words and deeds are different. 
When we say we want to do or want something, we believe that it is possible despite the challenges and then we take action to make it happen.
The Universe works well when we are in alignment - when thought, word and deed are all in alignment, we are able to move forward with clarity.
If you find yourself wavering, unwilling, not knowing - take a pause.
Ask yourself, what is your why and move towards willingness to have and keep an open mind.
Have you ever spoken to someone who has done what you consider to be something challenging and they simply say "I was ready" or "I decided"
This is where it starts. A firm decision, a willingness. Watch how everything falls into place when we are willing and in alignment followed by a firm decision.
Peace

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

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
