2013 and Beyond - A New Year's Wish
Another year has come and gone on this crazy planet called Life. What have I learned?
1) Life Isn't Always Easy. What We Choose To Do With It Is:
From the minute we enter this world living begins. I write to undo the sinkable words of our past. "Life is easy. It's the living that's hard." I choose to see it this way. This life is the biggest school we could ever be in, and the longest school we will ever attend. What are YOU going to learn from it?
This past year (heck the past five years) have been some of the most personally challenging times of my life. However, I have made it through the other side with a new sense of wellbeing. For I have come to the ultimate personal truth. MY LIFE IS WHAT I CHOOSE TO MAKE OF IT.
Growing up, I can remember rearing my ugly head at the "unjustness" of the world around me. Nothing was "fair" and I "never" got my way. Everything was a challenge. And I am totally okay with that. I knew growing up my parents loved me. I knew I was cared for, and that if every single belonging burned to the ground I would still have my family. It was, and always will be, the most important thing I could ever have in my life.
Now, as an adult, I have had the opportunity to see just why my life was the way it was. Because as things seemed to be "falling apart" around me. They were actually falling into place. The perfect place. Right here right now.
You see, that's all we have. Right here right now. No other point in time exists. And every day we have the choice to create the world around us. Yes, life isn't always easy, but it can be happy. We are asked to live our best lives possible.
And, if we use our Inner Guidance system to steer us, it is more easy than it is difficult. Remember, YOU are the one responsible for what happens in your life. Honor who you are and what you love to do, and you will amaze even yourself at all that can be accomplished.
You can choose to be a victim of your circumstances ("why me?" "Poor me", yada yada yada)or you can choose to volunteer for the life that has been presented to you.
If you can learn to dance in the rain, you have learned the dance of life. Your life is yours for the embracing!
2) Faith is Everything
Faith isn't just about believing in a Higher Power, it is about believing in yourself. When you can learn to tune out the chatter around you and listen to your own True Voice, that is a testament to Faith in oneself. And, if you are having problems with that (as we all do), then that is when the Truest of Faith is to be utilized.
We have a Parent (Parents??? I truly don't know everything about the Other Side) that is bigger than the parents we have on the physical plane. The Cosmic Design Committee has our best interest at heart and has a plan for each and every one of us. We are well taken care of here on Earth, even during difficult times.
People tend to reach out in times of need. Have you ever considered reaching out just to be thankful? Try it. For, in that moment, life truly opens up to the amazingness it has to offer:
- I wake up and say thank you. For I am truly grateful that I did.
- I say thank you for the challenges, for I get to see what I am made of. I have discovered I am
Titanium.
- I say thank you for watching over me and having my best interest at heart.
- I say thank you for my family, for without them I wouldn't be here.
Faith provides me the comfort in knowing I am truly never alone. For if "God Brings You To It. He Will Bring You Through It."
I am grateful.
3) Love is the Only Reality
We have seen heinous crimes against humanity rise each year, and everyone is asking "why?"
I believe, that deep down inside, we know. It is because we have forgotten to love one another.
First of all. Children are a privilege. Not a right. We do them no favors by spoiling them with things, when in fact the only "thing" they need is our love. People that shouldn't have children do, and there are those out there that should and can't. It is a cycle I wish to be broken.
Pregnancy doesn't "Just happen". We make it happen. It is a choice. And, should the circumstances find you with child, your only charge is to LOVE that child. And, if you are unable, give it to someone that will. It is the best gift we could ever give that child.
Love them enough to provide a loving home.
Sometimes all it takes is a loving gesture. To anyone. Anywhere:
- The person holding out the cup for spare change (I like buying them something to eat or getting a
drink for them).
- The elderly couple struggling to open a door
- The Schizophrenic who is struggling with their thoughts
- The girl with the sad face
- The boy with the greasy hair
Love them for they truly are our brothers and sisters.
4) I Am Committed to a Better Planet
By changing myself I change the world. We all have the power to do it. And every day I will continue to reach out and encourage each and every one of you.
You are ALL deserving of Love and Encouragement.
You are ALL important to me.
May the time known as 2013 find you growing in Faith (in yourself and others), and drowing in love!
Love is the cure we are all looking for.
