so……what is old is new again once you decide to breathe life back into its soul!!
So…my summer’s “emotional work” and reflections have made me bear witness to two of the most difficult truths necessary for my own peace of heart and mind.Truth #1 ~ You can’t make others “need” what you would want them to “need” for their happiness to be complete. Truth #2 ~ Others can’t make you “need” what they would want you to “need” for your happiness to be complete. Surrendering the imagined power over others we clearly don’t have in the first…..
I came to realize that as I sowed, so shall I ultimately reap. Biblically true and critical, this truth led me to the movement or stagnation of my power toward whole or fractured outcomes. This epiphany brought to me a valuable understanding of responsibility as it encompassed choices which led to the status of my “garden”. If I planted weeds, how could I expect roses. Yet how many times did I allow negative, self limiting thoughts to thrive only to have…..
I have learned that I need to use my cognitive powers to “break apart” a thought, process, situation or outcome into a worthy interpretation by leaning toward a whole and healthy view. Deciding to rely on faith and not fear emotionally opens that “proverbial window” which allows the refreshing hopefilled air to rush in filling my “lungs”with power. When my worthy anticipation joyfully colors my actions , my movement is always upward and forward to a higher ground. This realization brings…..
As I recognize the “treasures” I am in search of with the onset of spring, I realize my need to be sure to have created my personalized map. Transitional energy unleashes many moving parts that comes to us seasonally as well as emotionally, so it is mandatory to mark our “X ‘s” to indicate where the “digging”must begin! Here is where my balance of “Susan power “ comes into critical play…. of determining who I say yes to and what…..
I realized that so many times my default position is to stay quietly in the shadows. Being basically a shy person and not an attention seeker, I many times automatically have passed along the credit, compliments or chance to shine to others. How the universe gets divided between those of us who are naturally confident and worthy, from those who are not, is probably the outcome of many moving parts within our history. The good news is, It’s Never Too Late…..
I recognize in my metaphoric world the word “bridges” represents powerful symbols of bravery, trust and forward passages. When presented with a troubling situation, “bridges” always show themselves as a feasible invitation or alternate route to get to a place of acceptance and harmony. Architecturally mighty, real bridges give me pause to ponder the engineers genius to utilize sound mathematical formulas which include safe journeying. Emotionally mighty, my metaphoric bridges give me pause to ponder my enlightened wisdom to formulate reimagined…..
I’ve learned that life is not a rigid and unforgiving switch” but rather a fluctuating and encouraging “dial”. The extreme conditions of on/off, 0/100, black/white , does not allow my power to thrive but rather causes me to break on the non-producing side. The gray area is where my progress exists and I can negotiate different measures of my available power. I can dialogue with fairness on behalf of living each moment in the understanding “middle ground”. The gray cheers me…..
I realize that regret is a useless energy that drains your positive outlook and strength. In life, you are called to endure many tests, and you make decisions that, in their time, seem to make the most sense. Viewing your past through the eyes of your current circumstance is unfair as you don’t see all the details that influenced your choice at that time. One of your most significant works is learning to have no regrets…or at least fewer of…..
I know for sure if I love someone, something or someplace , it can transport my heart and spirit into a beautiful and grace filled essence ! This “place” is filled with magnificent colors, sounds, views, aromas and a climate which warms and pleases my soul. I thrive there, find peace there and very importantly, have power there. Although my great love is always so apparent and energetic when I am aiming it outside of myself, I need to be…..
