"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them-that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." -Lao Tse-
As I get older (and hopefully wiser!) my priorities have shifted considerably.
I have grown up.
Now that I am in my 40's, I can see just how my life has unfolded to get me to where I am now, and the decisions that I have made to get me here.
Sometimes it seems that things just happened to me ( I have called these life changing moments "events") and as these events have played out , I have often wondered just who or what orchestrated it...
Sometimes these events were joyful, others are frightening, and yet others are grief laden..
Now, rather than see my self as a victim of these events, I can see that we are all part of a wonderful dance – and that to have a meaningful life, a soulful and purposeful life, we each need to be connected through our hearts in our deepest personal truth.
Allow our unique story to unfold..
Part of this meaningful life for me is to discover the depth of our compassionate heart.
I have always found that being with my Animals, in quiet solitude, one of the most healing of times. How unconditional they are, and forgiving.
Allow yourself to heal from the inside out, sit within your space in quiet reflection, allow thoughts to come and go...and don't judge yourself.
Feel your pain, and sorrow, let it move through you unhindered.
Allow your compassionate heart to love yourself, and treat yourself as your best friend. Forgive yourself...Then the joy can flow.. The source of creativity is free and flowing...
Imagine if we all did this? The world would then befriend itself..
And then we can befriend each other.
