OBLIGATIONS AS A PARENT

Our children are our children regardless of their age.  We will always be Mom or Dad to our kids, although as we age, the gap certainly begins to shrink.  In some cases, our children become our best friends, after all they have been with us since their beginning.

 

As they mature into themselves, it is important to remember that as we made our way through adversity and learned valuable lessons so will our children.  We are their parents but, at some point, we must step back, trust in the seeds we planted and let them learn through life’s experience and their own judgement.

 

This can be a very difficult task, as we feel we must advise and help in whatever way we can.  Reassure them that we are always there for them. The lessons they learn through experience are the most valuable and the ones that they remember. 

 

Do you remember when your parents tried to advise you? 

 

Most of us felt they were out of touch and interfering.  Your children will likely feel the same way.

 

We do have obligations as parents and we do our best.

 

The world they are growing up in is different from the one we grew up in. Life was easier on some levels and also more challenging on other levels.  

 

Be the example they need. Nothing speaks louder.

 

Remember you are human. If you made mistakes when they were young, acknowledge the mistakes and then let go.

 

Every day is a learning experience. Our obligations as a parent are to teach by example and to love and reassure them that we care. They too will make mistakes just as we did. Forgive them and forgive yourself.

FREEDOM FROM BONDAGE

We can seek freedom from many different things.  One important freedom is to free ourselves from the bondage of our mind’s interference.  Our mind can get caught up in the past or worry for the future.  We are so trapped in our worries that we forget that our focus amplifies and can become all consuming.  We are so focused on “what ifs” or “has beens” that we forget to live.

 

We continually hash over experiences to the point that they take up permanent residence in our head, and we continually loop over and over again on what was or what might be, much like the movie, Groundhog Day. 

 

We torture ourselves over what we could have done or what we might be able to do. This can also lead to pointing a finger at others and laying blame for events in our lives. Alternatively, we can take responsibility for events that were completely out of our control.  Does this sound familiar?

 

Our bondage stems from our preconceived notions of what we think SHOULD or SHOULD NOT have happened or what might happen in the future.  One suggests we have control issues and the other suggests we worry about potentials.

 

Some people truly do live in their self-made bondage, whether that bondage be mental or physical.

 

The bondage of fear robs us of living. Some of us may be tied to the security of our home environment. Step out and breathe the air of freedom.

 

Some are held in bondage because of the acts of others or life’s circumstances.

 

Can you rise above or break free of your personal bondage? 

 

Do you worry about potential outcomes if you take action? 

 

The unknown can create fear but you are stronger than that fear.

 

Ask yourself if you are supposed to exist under these conditions.  Of course not.  You are here to live!

 

It takes courage but make the choice to live not just exist.  You and you alone must make that decision.  You do not have to do this alone.  Reach out for support or help. Take the first step to freedom from bondage.

 

Break free! You are worth it. Start living!

TRY, TRY AGAIN

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! 

 

Never give up.  Always give it your all.  Some things are worth working or fighting for.  There is satisfaction in knowing that you did your very best even if the outcome was not as planned. 

 

It is important to weigh out the cost (time, effort, value, odds) before committing to something. There are no guarantees in life, but if you don’t try, how do you know?

 

The rewards for a battle well fought usually pays high in dividends.

 

No matter what the goal, working towards a promotion, building a name for yourself, getting more healthy, saving a relationship, if it has value to you, it must be worth the effort!

 

Some things are more important than others. Set your priorities.

 

Obstacles only mean a little more effort. They will test your resilience, but they will teach you valuable lessons.  Life lessons can lead to irreplaceable outcomes.

 

If the cost is too high or the outcome unattainable, walk away!  That is not giving up; it is being accountable.

 

If there is potential for a favorable outcome but it entails hard work, so be it! Try, try again! Many things in life are worth it.  Give it your all. If you fall, get back up! When there’s a will, there’s a way!

BUILDING TOWARDS THE FUTURE YOU ALWAYS WANTED

So where do we begin? 

 

How do we align with our needs and dreams? 

 

Any dream or goal starts with planning but the most important thing to do is taking that first step.

 

Why not start now?

 

As a matter of fact, the longer we hold off, the greater the likelihood of our mind getting in the way and we talk ourselves out of moving forward. The mind tends to interfere with plans. Some call this egoic interference.

 

Where do you begin?

 

We begin with the planning and define what we are hoping to achieve.  Be specific! Do not overwhelm yourself with large ideas.  Build from the ground up.  Start small and have no expectations, positive or negative because “the universe” knows what it is that you need.

 

What is your focus….love, peace, comfort?

 

If you wish is money, is it really money you want.  Might you want comfort, security, freedom, happiness?

 

The ways our hopes and wishes manifest are endless but have no judgement on whether or not this is right for you. Know that what you wish to manifest in your life will help along the way and open doors in the future.

 

As mentioned, the mind will attempt to interfere with these objectives.  There may be thoughts that suggest failure on some level, or that you don’t deserve this outcome. Anything realistic is attainable and it is only the mind’s interference that begins the process of holding us back from achieving our goals.

 

Ego can work in several ways.  It can assist us or hold us back.  It uses many methods and, in most cases, the quiet little voice that is a positive push is the one we need to listen to.  Positivity is never forced on us and it does not guarantee results but it certainly makes the journey more enjoyable and opens many more doors than negativity.

 

Be patient and learn from your experience.  You can learn a lot about yourself. Are you filled with determination or the lack thereof? 

 

The road may not be direct or easy. It has taken us a lifetime this far to reach our current point on the road of life. Remember, belief structure and expectations are the ingredients that either work with us or hold us back, in some cases stifle us completely. 

 

Believe in yourself.  Know that anything can happen. Have faith in the process.  Be diligent, learn patience and grow from all experiences. 

 

Once you begin to realize small results from your steady work towards building the future you always wanted, the rest seems to follow far more rapidly. Step forward!

SIGNATURE LIFE EVENTS

We experience events that act as steppingstones in life and these events propel us forward!  We also have events that foster growth through perseverance, diligent effort, experience and by what some would term chance. 

 

Often, we can feel as though we are at the mercy of life, when life seems to dictate and create struggles that are so overwhelming that we feel stifled and lose faith in our journey. 

 

In the next breath, we can experience what feels like a miracle which takes us to places we never dreamed we could reach. 

 

Either type of events can create major turning points in our journey.

 

At times, we work diligently for something we have set as a priority and we can fall short. There are even times when we complete a difficult life lesson where we feel we have actually moved backwards in our journey.  Remember, however, we learn valuable information from our shortcomings and blunders. The experiences can be very unpleasant, and our egos can be wounded; but we will remember the experience and use this new information or tool moving forward. Do not be emotionally hurt by failures. Our attitudes can make the experience excruciating or fill us with gratitude for the lesson. Remember, it is our ego that is suffering not us (we are not our ego).

 

We can enter some journeys or life lessons as one person and come out at the end of the lesson a whole new person. These experiences often set events in motion that further our evolution even more further down the road of life.  In some cases, we look at life from a completely different perspective after these life lessons. 

 

We can begin to recognize that the flow of life is gauged by expectations, belief structures and focus.  Magic is present with our expectations, and we welcome new adventures (lessons) that promote long-term healing and potential for further growth.

 

We should always remember that we walk our path with others and our actions have ramifications.  What we do in life affects others.  Life has profound ripple effects. Our movement can motivate others or hinder others, temporarily.

 

Walk your road, learn from your signature life events. You advance, fall back, push forward, persevere, deliver and accept. It’s part of the learning process. Life is a mystery but oh so magical, too.

THE REAL YOU

To understand who you really are, you would have to go back into your archives, back to where it all started, from the beginning. 

 

No one really knows their beginning, but many believe that this is not our first incarnation on this earthly journey.  Some believe that there have been several other life experiences that have brought us to this current one.

 

Who are you, really?

 

What are you capable of?

 

We are far more than what we see on the surface today.  We are the culmination of every lesson we have experienced now and previously. Again, I ask then what are we capable of because of these uncountable lessons?

 

We know we are spiritual in our true nature, a small piece of God (don’t get caught up on the word we chose to use). It has been said that God (whatever God represents to you) is indivisible.  We then are a part of a whole which cannot be divided. Are we attempting then to unite that which can’t be separated? 

 

Perhaps while pondering these questions, we might want to further ponder what we can do.  Is this life just about material rewards and accomplishments? 

 

There must be some valuable lessons that are taught through this material existence, or we would not be so wrapped up in attainment and success, at least for those that are.  What valuable lessons are taught through these gains or losses? 

 

Why have we entered this existence which is so tied to achievement and what does this experience teach us?

 

The real you is spiritual and has much knowledge and insight that can foster great assistance in this life particularly for yourself because you cannot assist others until you first help yourself. 

 

How can you help humankind with its evolutionary quest? 

 

Do not, for one moment, think that your part is too small.  An ocean is made of an abundance of single drops of water. Push forward with your pure love and affection for your fellow person. Each and every one of us has work to do.  What is the real you capable of doing knowing that there are no limits?

INNOCENT BYSTANDERS

Generally, the ones that are affected the most by life’s situations are children.  They are highly in tuned to what transpires around them, especially in their formative years.  Their parents are their main influencers and then as they age, they become more and more affected by their peers and social media. 

 

In the past, the mother has been the most influential with her nurturing and caring and the father through security and stability. Today this is not necessarily the norm as today’s parents often share all responsibilities or can switch rolls completely.

 

Children are often innocent bystanders, being influence by outside source such as the affection shared and shown between parents or the aggression, for that matter. 

 

We teach the development of love and affection through our examples. What children see in day-to-day interaction is taken as normal because these are normal in their lives.  Family traits quite regularly are carried forward.

 

There can also be influencers well beyond the family unit during the informative years. Those born in war-torn countries, for example, become less shell shocked than those not experiencing these circumstance. Fear and oppression however can be the norm for them and families can do little to alleviate these conditions for their families.

 

Violence, abuse, fear and aggression in any form are experiences we want to eliminate for everyone.

 

Change begins at the family level and then progresses to friends, communities, countries and the world. Through our actions, we generate or create waves of energy that spread outward in all directions, similar to the waves on the ocean. 

 

Your actions, no matter how large or small, have consequences and flow out influencing our world. Everything builds and moves in all directions.  Our actions create. Let’s influence the innocent bystanders and our world to be a better place by being that energy that will influence it in this way.

FOSTERING IN THE NEW

Change is inevitable. 

 

Life never remains the same.  There might be similarities over a period of time, but you can be sure that something will come along and change or shake the very foundation of life.  This should not be viewed as difficult. Change is essential for growth and a forward movement in life. A new direction on some level is at hand and will open the door when the door needs to open, but never before, no matter how things may appear.

 

Sometimes we fear or try to reject change as the current situation is comfortable. We are comfortable and circumstances are familiar. Nonetheless, change will happen, with or without our consent.  When we resist, we create anxiety and fear. If we readily adapt, the transition is much more enjoyable.

 

As we transition, we begin anew into something more relevant or more in line with where we should be. As mentioned, some may struggle with this newness, and we may not be comfortable with what is unfolding.  We fight the process or fearfully hang on to what is. If we reconsider, we realize on some level this change is not only a requirement but actually a necessity. All change begins within.

 

Resist or not, we will venture forth because this is part of our life’s journey.  We have come into this life to experience and grow, with or without our consent. Take life by the horns and move forward without expectations fostering in the new. It is useless to worry about potentials or maybes. 

 

Be open and see where life takes you. Open your arms with anticipation.
