It’s not a race.
High school, college, grad school, marriage, kids, career,
achievement, happiness … none of it has an expiration date; and yet, we are all
rushing through our lives as if there is a deadline. Well, there is the ultimate deadline ~ death,
but I still don’t think we need to rush. Where is my delete button? Maybe I need to start again. The days are as long as they are wide. We need to savor every moment before the fading of sun each day.
The only true battle
we have in life is with ourselves.
No one else is keeping track of our perceived failures and
successes. We all have a need to do
well though. It starts in kindergarten with
gold stars and having our mothers say, “good job!” Who doesn’t like positive reinforcement? We all appreciate recognition for a job well
done. Enjoying the process and the path
is key though. How can we truly enjoy winning 1st place, getting the job promotion, signing the publishing contract, finishing the 5K
race, without enjoying the road we took to get there?
You aren’t really
flying unless you are free. You won’t be
truly free until you give yourself permission.
This statement says it all.
Feeling complete, feeling successful, feeling at peace ~ all of these
things are up to you. YOU have the
ultimate power to experience true happiness and self-acceptance. Give yourself permission to be happy.
Now breathe and start
your day knowing that you are loved …
You
Are Loved
You are
exquisitely made.
With a splash of
deep purple at the edges,
and a vibrant
center –
you shine.
Like the many
layered hues
of a
rhododendron
with blushing
petals,
you have innate
gifts –
both seen and
unseen.
The wind
whistles a melody,
encouraging the
dance of galaxies.
In unison, all
of nature
follows the
same, beautifully orchestrated score,
and we float
forward together.
In another time
you see the
outline of this day
in all of its
divinity.
You smile a
perfect smile,
knowing that –
you are loved.
