ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD

Two steps forward and one step back.  It feels that way sometimes, but in reality, we are always moving forward.

 

The biggest issue with advancement is we judge our progress and our perceptions are not always accurate. At times, it certainly feels as though we are advancing, but at other times, we feel stagnated or held back with little to no progress.  At least this is our perception.

 

Every step of the way on our journey is a learning process.  Sometimes the lessons are challenging, sometimes less challenging. Nonetheless, the lessons are always valuable.

 

Perhaps we need a little adjustment or tweak to our thinking process? 

 

Our perception and attitude towards life greatly affects the journey.

 

We can get caught up in setting goals for large achievements and not receiving recognition from others. We can feel as though we have failed by not reaching the pinnacle of our goals. We ignore the progress that was actually made.

 

One step at a time should be our timetable.  Focus on learning from the experience. Utilize the information gathered from these lessons. There is no such thing as failure. We are capable of switching that perception at any time. 

 

You are always moving forward. Change your attitude from disappointment to gratitude for all that has been learned and for all that is. Give yourself a pat on the back!

ENTHUSIASM OF A CHILD

In our early days, we live to experience and each moment in time is filled with enthusiasm.  We are wrapped in each and every experience without question, completely focused and content in the moment. Watch a children closely at how “in the moment” they live.

 

As we move into adolescence we are still very much wrapped up in the moment although now we look forward to milestones and make plans for our future. We are still quite enthusiastic about life, venturing forth with great vigor and eagerness. 

 

As we enter adulthood, we begin to enjoy our independence.  Some of us chose to begin our own families and become focused on our careers and new financial obligations.  If we have chose the family journey, we now have others to think about and support and begin preparing for what might occur in our future.  We become more focused on possibilities and live not only in the moment but also in the future. We need to keep checking our attitude.

 

By middle age, we reflect our life experiences in our personality not only because of those we have met and our life situations but also because of our attitude.  We have been preparing for our future saving money, paying off debt, gathering material abundance and experiencing.  Plan for the future but don’t lose your soul to it!

 

If we had a family, our children eventually enter their own stage of independence, and we can start to focus more on self.  It’s not that we care less but that we allow them to mature and grow.  It is important that we have time to enjoy the fruits of our labors, so we begin to explore more of what life offers on a personal level. 

 

Hopefully we are all blessed with what may be called the “evening” or “winter” of our lives.  We let go of our need to squirrel away money and learn to relax and focus more on the things that we enjoy in life.  There should be relief of some sort that retirement does not mean we are old and unable.  Quite the opposite for many of us.  We all carry forward, each one of us in different directions, some mastering techniques that we have been nurturing throughout life and others branching in new directions learning new things. 

 

This stage in life does not have to be an ending at all.  It feels more like a beginning and excitement is still there for those that allow.  Some may suffer from a belief that retirement means it’s all over, but most of us chose to do and experience whatever excites us.

 

Our lives are filled with experiences that foster in change at all stages. Who we were years ago is still a part of our consciousness, but we have changed dynamically and hopefully learned from each experience.  We are here to experience life to the fullest and enjoy what is in front of us. 

 

Life is magical and is perpetually changing. No matter what stage you are experiencing, remember to live and enjoy. Never lose the enthusiasm of a child living in the moment.  Every experience should excite you!

LIFE MARCHES ON

Life experiences never cease to amaze.  Our journey bends and curves, has valleys and mountains offering great insights and experiences.  The experiences can be extreme, both up and down, but always moving forward even when we do not feel we the progress. At times it feels one step forward, two steps back. 

 

The voyage of life is our greatest teacher with guiding forces steering us as we venture forth. 

 

We are never alone, although at times it certainly feels that way.  We are surrounded by past family elders, current family members, friends and guides assisting us.

 

Life can be difficult at times pushing us into lessons we rather not have to experience, and we often question why things happen to us or to seemly other helpless individuals.  It is hard to rationalize through our earthy minds.  There are many things we simply do not understand. We cannot conceive because we are humans with limited concepts.  We think in human terms and cannot see the bigger picture. This is so apparent during the difficult lessons.

 

No matter what, life continues, even after our passing. Energy is perpetual so in some form or another we carry on, maybe even in a more engaged manner. 

 

All too often, some dwell on the negative experiences and forget to acknowledge and appreciate the good experiences. Let’s change that and make a conscious effort to review both the hard and the easy lessons we experience in life and then release and allow.

 

Life marches on. Our focus enhances whatever we concentrate on. With practice we can learn gratitude not a “why-me” attitude.  It takes work. There is no denying that but if you are persistent you will see the fruits of your labor.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

It is imperative that we do what we can to keep our bodies and mind in a healthy state.  Having regular checkups, exercising, eating well and paying attention to our thoughts or focus are all factors in how well we maintain our health. 

 

Our number one priority would be our self-awareness, whether this relates to listening to our bodies, how we think about ourselves, how we relate to issues in life or react, or if we focus on negative health concerns whether these health concerns are based on symptoms or imagination.

 

Age should not create worry or concern even though we do tend to slow down a little as we age. We must look after ourselves no matter what our age.  The earlier we begin a healthy lifestyle, the healthier we will be as we age. The habits we form throughout our lives determine our attitude, focus and wellness.

 

If and when we do encounter health issues at some point in time, this is when we must adjust our thinking in such a way that we can challenge the issue.  Cancer, for example, is far too common but those that remain positive about their outcome have been noted to have a greater chance of full recovery. 

 

Our attitude about life has a great impact on not only our mental health, but over time is reflected in physical health depending on how long and to what degree we choose to allow negative thoughts to permeate our day-to-day living.  Our mental approach to what happens in life is key to not only being healthier but also to being content with our lives. 

 

This is not to say that we should stifle ambitions or become complacent. It means that our very thinking process affects our everyday lives both today and in the long run.

 

We have a greater chance of meeting and overcoming any challenging life situation with a positive attitude and learning where to focus our attention. 

 

Death is a guarantee in life and maybe we can change our attitude towards this transition as well.  Our passing does not have to be a negative experience if we can change our attitude towards it. It is inevitable. We would not be leaving our physical body and moving on from this life’s journey unless we were ready to do so.  We have completed our course and fulfilled our objectives even if we do not understand what these were. We will graduate and at that point are ready to move to the next level of awakening. It’s just a new chapter.

 

In the meantime, be thoughtful of your health and wellness to make the best of this current journey. Fill your life with love, contentment and appreciation through your attitude. Our focus dictates the experience.

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY

Some days just don’t feel the best, while other days feel spectacular. The latter, we always wish to hold on to longer. 

 

For the days we wish we didn’t have to experience, it is often best to let go and know that tomorrow is a new beginning.  You never know what the future might hold, so holding on to what “was” serves no purpose.  If you hold on, it is impossible to move forward. 

 

Yes, some days feel very heavy. They can rob us of our peace and contentment and cause us much pain, emotionally, mentally and even physically.  We can linger in the memories or remnants of a difficult day for a long time, and experience extreme emotional moments because of it. 

 

It is important to experience the emotions attached to what unfolded as we can’t run away from events and our emotional response to them.  Dealing with some of the harsher moments can have profound lasting effects on us, if we choose to dwell and in some cases, being lost in an emotional event can cause us ill health.

 

We need to take each day, one at a time and work our way through adversity, acknowledging that we must feel whatever is necessary but that this too will pass.  Visit every lesson but do not take up residence there. Being stuck in a lesson can create health issues, relationship issues, career issues and the list goes on.

 

During those moments of sheer joy and exhilaration, enjoy the experience to its fullest by living in that moment. Acknowledge gratitude. Be thankful. 

 

Look around you. Do you see people just move along their old route, semi-lost in routine, without appreciation for any of it. They cannot enjoy the moment as they do not experience.

 

We are lucky with what life provides us. Share your life with others when possible. If the experience is personal in nature, seek solace and find comfort in it.

 

Know that regardless of what unfolds in life, it is temporary, and tomorrow is another day. Life continues forward, always. Learn from each and every experience.  Wrap your arms around adversity as these are the steppingstones to understanding and growth. No transition is without pain. Love your life, even when it does not seem to be love you back. It is giving you what you need.

THE FORTUNATE ONES

There are times when we need to do some soul searching and there are times when we need to have a close look at how fortunate we are even in stressful times. 

 

Life can be challenging, and situations seem to happen when we least expect them. These can hit us hard when they surface.  However, looking at the overall situation of OUR WORLD, most of us live a relatively good life.  We are not amid war, or under dictatorship. We have freedom of speech.  Many of us do not live in areas ravaged by natural disaster, although some of our readers can relate to some of these conditions.

 

Most of us work or have a steady income.  Most of us have adequate food and nutrients and clean water.  Most of us drive vehicles, bikes or can walk to work. These jobs provide us with money, although we may have to work hard to bring in the funds we need.

 

Many of us have health care, infrastructure, housing, etc.

 

In many cases, we have extra money for vacations, to eat in restaurants, attend a movie, and fund celebrations such as Christmas, birthdays and social gatherings, pay for cell phones and have internet.  Life is good, is it not?

 

We are the fortunate ones. The next time we get caught up in how difficult life can be, we can remind ourselves of what we have, not what is missing. 

 

We sometimes need a reminder that what we focus on builds over time and if we don’t like life or its current direction, we can tweak our focus if no action can be taken.  Don’t get caught up in what is missing, or the “should haves” or “could haves”. We need to be patient with our outcomes.

 

Have faith in your life’s process and believe that there is always hope. See what is in front of you, and have faith that what you need, you will have. We are the fortunate ones!

REFLECTIONS

Listening to the world news, you can’t help but feel pain and sadness.  Experience the concerns and worry (just for a moment) and acknowledge the plight of others.  Innocent people are dying because of war.  People are being forced to leave their homes due to safety concerns.  Parents are losing their children and children are losing their parents.

 

Now spend some time reflecting on your own life. Where do your reflections take you?

 

There may be some issues that surface during our reflections, but it is not all bad. Yes, the cost of living has increased immensely, including housing, mortgages, rent, food, etc. but the important thing to focus on is we are managing, maybe managing on less, but we are managing.

 

We can still feed our children, and most are able to pay the rent. We don’t worry about our home being bombed or having to leave where we live to be safe. 

 

We hear many complaining about the number of refugees entering our country, but so many come from war torn countries. Normally, if they can get jobs, they take the jobs that many of us would not consider taking.

 

We have always had to work for what we have, but we live without fear and in most cases, we have a roof over our heads. 

 

Let’s acknowledge and appreciate what we do have in life and not what we feel is missing.  In many ways, compared to several countries, we live a life of luxury. 

 

We are not suggesting that you give up on your goals. What we are suggesting is that you be thankful for what is available to you and the opportunities you have in your life.

 

Perspective is everything.  Let’s make ours one of gratitude.
