Sacred Ground

 

Where you are standing is sacred. We all have our part to play on the sacred ground upon which we now stand. Iyanla Vanzant 




Where you are now standing is sacred ground.

Where you are, right now, in this moment, is not by chance. It is not by coincidence, it is by design.

I truly believe so. I truly believe that wherever we are in the present moment it is by divine design. There is always a lesson, a reason, a purpose, a blessing. Always 

What is Sacred Ground?

Sacred ground is where you can make a positive contribution to wherever you are placed, wherever you are

Sacred ground is where you can make a difference

Sacred ground is where you can do your best in the moment

Sacred ground is where you can be authentic and true

Sacred ground is where you decide to take care of yourself, to rest.

Sacred ground is where you can demonstrate to yourself that you are worthy

Sacred ground is knowing that not only are you good enough, you are more than enough.

Sacred ground is where you leave the space better than you found it

Where you are standing in this very moment is sacred ground.

Now what?

You are here on sacred ground:

To learn

To grow

To create

To love

To serve

To make yourself proud

When you make yourself proud, you show up differently.

And no one said that it would be easy, the question is are you willing?

As I accepted that where I was standing, I was on sacred ground, my intentions changed, there was a shift in me, the way I felt about being there changed. 

Right here, right now, I encourage you to embrace and accept that where you stand is on sacred ground. Who are you being as you stand?

Stand on your sacred ground in equity.

Stand on your sacred ground for equality.

Stand on your sacred ground for truth.

Stand on your sacred ground for paying it forward.

Stand on your sacred ground in service.

Stand on your sacred ground in love.

Stand on your sacred ground knowing why you are here.

Stand on your sacred ground knowing that you here for more than work.

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
