Meant to Be

If anything is meant to be it is never difficult. When we find ourselves battling all odds, to get something accomplished, we must stop and ask ourselves the question; do I really want this and is this so important that I would jeopardize my good feelings to get it done? What is my ego telling me?
Of course I am not saying that often it requires us to jump through hoops and put in some healthy, hard work. The good feeling that we get from that type of endeavor is priceless. However, if we are feeling totally defeated and worn out and sick, then that should be a supreme indicator that we are doing it for the wrong reasons. Then the time for checking in to our innermost being is vital. It is time to take a deep breath and be kind to ourselves and most of all be honest with ourselves as to our purpose.
If it is meant to be everything feels good and gently drops into place with a feeling of well being surrounding it. I’ve got this.

And Life Goes On

Do you ever just want to strangle that person in your life who is irritating the poop out of you? Or when that child nearby is constantly saying, “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! do you just want to scream? Well, isn’t it about time that we stop, take a deep breath, and realize that there are much more important things going on. We need to save our energy for those other important things! Think about this! We have so much to be grateful for.

And Life Goes On

People in America getting ready for the day

Trying to bring some sense of order to the things they do and say

Ever since the war began there is no other way

One thing may have changed for some as they

Take sometime to pray

And life goes on – we must hold our spirits high

Our troops are fighting for our freedom

And for this they’d gladly die

And life goes on

Now’s the time to love each other like we’ve never done before

Teach your children to be kind

Give our neighbors a helping hand

Remember we’ll be better givers when we don’t judge the takers

And this will be in a better land

We’ll recognize peace as a choice

That comes from within and life goes on

Where is the Focus?

I am recognizing more and more that the need to surround myself with positive people and positive programming is essential to my well-being! I have experienced a whole lot of disappointments recently and they are adding up to a huge case of depression. Me? Depressed? Yes! Me depressed. Sadly, none of us are immune to depression.

The extreme sadness, in all of this, is that we are given so much input throughout our lives as to the negative stigma surrounding depression. If you are depressed there must be something “wrong” with you. Well there is something “wrong” with you – just the same as you having a cold or the flu – you possibly need professional help.

All of my focus recently has been on all the negativity surrounding my life and even though, to some peoples point of view, I have so much to be joyful about, they do not know the whole story. My present demeanor, however, quickly gives me away. I am finding it hard to smile. So – what do I do? I avoid being with people; which only makes me feel worse! The focus then remains on all the negative things and my depression deepens.

As I am writing this I am aware of a television in the background and the show is dealing with murder and violence. How does this affect me? I quickly shut out that noise and recognized I felt better already. This is a perfect time to put two of my sayings to the task. “A challenge is purely an opportunity to experience perfection.” Also – “Share your dreams – clarify your intention – get out of your way – and let them happen.”

My dreams are to feel that joy again and I am clear on my intention to exercise; focus on all the good in my life; be aware of what I am focusing on.(In doing these things (and more) I’ll be getting out of my way.) Now – I’ll let all the good that is coming to me arrive in its perfect time. In other words I’ll trust them all to come about.

This is one more real example of living taken from my life as it is happening. I’ll keep you posted.
