When our confidence is low or we just feel so uncertain, we
avoid situations and people that often would be beneficial for us, but we can't see that in the current state we are in. Courage is often like a spark that lights sparks of bravery and faith in others. When you know someone understands or has been in a place you find yourself, you often find it easier to rise up and sense a willingness to go forward. Courage is participating and stepping forward. How many times have you sighed, when something was changing in your life and you feared? You feared that it was bringing you chaos, uncertainty, disappointment, loss or rejection.
Sometimes, there are events that come to shake up our lives and make great change. Some of them are from our foolish mistakes, some from another and some; we will never know the “whys.” Many of those times that we feel are our undoing are new beginnings. We see people and situations differently. We understand what we didn't before. We change. They change. Life changes too. Some of the most beautiful moments in life come from the unexpected and change. What you give to others does not always come back to you at the precise moment or ways that you expect them to. You don't give, so you will receive. You give because the world needs your giving. You don't love, so you will be loved.
You love because someone's heart is reached. When people we care for are in difficult ways, we often say; our heart goes out to them. That is what caring is about, having a heart that moves towards those in need and because we value them. Do you find yourself saying "yes" every time that someone asks you for a favour?
Do you sometimes have a hard time finding time for yourself because you're so busy coming to a friend or family member's rescue? Although you are normally a sociable person who feels most comfortable in the company of others, you might rather be alone. You might want to have some time to yourself just to re-charge, or do absolutely nothing, if that is what you wish. All in all, it’s good to be there for others. But you need to take care of yourself before taking care of everyone else! Make some time for yourself. If we reserve the right to change our minds, then we also reserve the right to accept the best in any way. All too often, we cut corners or accept second best, when we feel a situation we long to see happen is taking too long to come to fruition. We rarely do so out of panic. We tend to do so out of frustration.
If a process is taking longer than you'd like to manifest in ways you'd like, avoid any tendency to hasten it. Avoid as well, any inclination to accept second best, too. Look more closely, if you can at what it is you're feeling. It's possible sometimes to give too much thought to a process or situation, when what is really needed is mental detachment. Pay more notice to what you're feeling. Let your instincts guide you in ways you might not be used to. Feeling your way into and through a situation will prove to be much more effective. Try it. The chase is sometimes better than the catch. Arriving at a particular destination or achieving something sometimes leaves us deflated. We enjoyed the process of
attaining or achieving whatever it was and once it becomes ours, we realize how much we enjoyed the challenge of getting it There is so much emphasis put on appearances. Is it really important to appear strong, even if you are not? The truth is, if you don’t ask for help, you won’t get it and asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength and
vulnerability. But there’s a fine line: If you constantly ask for help, you won’t grow. If you never ask for help, you risk not improving or growing. The solution is to be vulnerable, but be willing to do the work. We look at a situation wondering how best to approach or tackle it. When a plan doesn't come to fruition, it takes discipline, honesty and courage to accept that there was more we could have done, or advice given was unheeded.
Nothing produces a result like making a conscious decision to make something happen. Ask anyone, how many problems they have in their world that need addressing and you're likely to get a long list presented to you.
The interesting thing about long lists of problems is, when you look closely at what the list comprises, many seemingly large problems can be sorted by addressing smaller ones. Don't succumb to pressure that doesn't exist. You can alleviate much pressure by looking and dealing with the smaller things. |
