A few words…Reflections
It is at that time of the year again that we start to reflect. It has been such a challenging and even traumatising time for so many people this year. But it has been necessary. Necessary for life to change. It is hard indeed to understand why this is the case. "Why do innocent people and good people get hurt and go first on occasions" I hear you say. If we had all of the answers life would certainly be different. But why is this? If we live as though everyday was our last would we change our ways, values, behaviours and goals? Each and every one of us will benefit from a period of reflection currently. So that we may plan what we want to do and focus on how we want to be moving forward with the rest of our lives. "Surely people know that already" I hear you say. But that is … [Read more...]
A few words…Train of Life
Life is so very complex - full of twists and turns. We often have to expect the unexpected. When things do not happen as we expect it is unnerving. But we must remember that everything happens for a reason as uneasy as this may make us feel on occasions. "Hold tight and enjoy the ride" some may say. It is certainly easier for some to do compared to others. For each ride, each bump and each journey is so so very different and the more bumps encountered the more unlikely the person is going to be able to confidently and calmly get onto the next train. So where are you on your train of life? Are the bumps too traumatic for you to want to be on your next train? Whilst it may seem hard to make the decision you have to remember that you are in control. You have the power and the … [Read more...]
A few words…Tonics
We all need a tonic in our life. That tonic may be laughter, it may be love or it may be something else. Whatever it is it is important for it helps us to renew and replenish our energy, to give us some time to focus or refocus and helps us to energise both our physical and our spiritual being. Each and every day we need a tonic. As we wake up we need to reflect upon our needs of the day. We need to ensure that our energy level matches it and there are times when indeed we need a tonic. We need a pick me up and we can do this in so many ways. Each and every one of us are so different. We are all unique. But we all have needs and these needs need to be met and in order to meet these needs we need to go inward. We need to go inward to reflect, evaluate and reassess what our needs … [Read more...]
A few words…the Universe and Connections
Life is wonderful. Everything that is created is created with a reason and has a purpose. Everything is important. Nothing on the Earth plane matters any less than anything else. We often put a value on things but that value is often wrong and false. As you sit down and look inwards asking what is really important it is not material things that really matter. If you have roof over your head and food in your belly your essential needs are met. What we truly need are connections. Connections to the Earth plane and connections to other people. When we all connect the world has no one in need. It is only because of the current disjointedness throughout the world that there are so many people in genuine need. But we can all make a difference. By simply helping those closest to us … [Read more...]
A few words…Mirrors
Today is simply today. Nothing more and nothing less. It is up to us what we make of it. We can be positive or negative. We can be happy or sad. That is our choice and only our choice. Mind over matter I hear you say and it most certainly is. If we all focus on the positives all around us, each and every day, our world would certainly be a very different place. Judge no-one other than your own actions for only you are bound by your own sense of personal values and responsibilities. So as you go about your daily activities perhaps you can reflect and consider how you might like to change your day to improve your day. Love conquers all but it starts in the mirror. You need to have love in your own heart in order that you can share it with others. If you have enjoyed this … [Read more...]
A few words…Sand
Sand is immeasurable and so are we as humans. At any given time we do not know how many grains of sand that there are in the world and similarly we do not know how many humans there are and it really does not matter. Through life there are naturally peaks and troughs but what really matters is the contribution that each person brings to the table. We have plenty of everything in the world. If only people would allow for the wealth to be distributed more evenly. We are all aware of the greater need that is around us and sometimes it is easier to turn the other way and stay in our own little world. But how does that make you feel? It is so much better to do whatever you can to make someone else's day a little easier. We all have different skills and attributes. Just by smiling at … [Read more...]
A few words…Fencing
Life at times can be like a fence. It can be dull and quite boring or it can be very elaborate, ornate even. It depends upon the purpose that is to be served. At times we simply need reliable and sturdy fencing to protect us from harm and to give us peace that we need and at other times we are happy to be exposed so that we can be more extravagant just like a peacock showing its feathers. Most of the time we need the dull boring side so that we can relax, recharge our batteries and have time to contemplate the meaning of life. It is simply a matter of choice. As you consider what kind of fence that you would like to surround yourself with now I am sure that you will agree that it depends upon the mood at the time of asking. Each one of us varies from moment to moment. No two … [Read more...]
Today is World Mental Health Day
Life is indeed challenging and it is meant to be. We experience hardships in different forms - the physical form when we have problems with our housing, with lack of money to buy us what we need and there is also mental suffering. In many ways mental suffering is worse than physical suffering because when there is physical suffering we can see it and we can go about rectifying it as appropriate. However, when suffering is mental it is invisible in many ways and when it is invisible it is much harder to address. Very often people are ashamed to talk about it because they feel silly. However, if it was their leg or arm they would happily talk about it. We cause ourselves so much hardship by failing to communicate effectively. A problem shared is a problem halved indeed. When you … [Read more...]
A few words…Darkness, Light & Bridges
There needs to be darkness so that there can be light. In life everything rotates in circles and darkness is no exception. We need darkness in order that we can achieve the light. We need good in order that we can deal with the bad. We need opposites in everything because that is how the world works. The law of attraction and the law of opposition. In an ideal world you may say we would have more light, we would have less evil, but the world does not work like that and very often from one evil act many positive things will occur. It is indeed very hard to comprehend why we need such evil. However things happen, people rise to the challenges and each and every day we see huge efforts and huge achievements by people who have overcome such adversity, such trauma and such … [Read more...]
A few words…Lemons
Sometimes life gives us lemons and it is up to us what we make with it. We can suck on it and have that bitter taste should we wish or we can make lemonade which is far more palatable for most people. The choice is ours. We all have choices. We all have the ability to make decisions, to improve our own lives. We should not be controlled by the masses for we all have our own thoughts, we are all capable of making our own mind up, being well informed of course. So why is it that a few think that they can control so many? There is indeed a hidden agenda although it is becoming more and more apparent and the only way that it will become even more apparent is for people to stand up for what they believe in. In the current situation (lockdown again) it is very difficult given that … [Read more...]
