OBLIGATIONS AS A PARENT

Our obligations as a parent are to teach by example, to love & reassure them that we care. They will make mistakes just as we did. Forgive them & yourself.
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.

THE MOMENTUM OF LIFE

If it is difficult today, this will change. Learn the lesson in the meantime. If it is smooth-flowing, appreciate & enjoy. The momentum of life is forever changing.
Today could be one step forward and two steps back. Tomorrow may be full throttle ahead without waver. 

 

We can learn to go with the flow when needed but there will also be times we must fight tooth and nail because we know it is necessary. 

 

We can hold ourselves back because of worries.  We fear the unknown but damn it, we move forward anyway.

 

There are days that the flow is carefree. We enjoy the ride and float with energy because it is taking us exactly where we want to go.  We enjoy what life teaches and wish for more of the same.  In many cases this energy force can carry forward and begin to affect many areas of life in positive terms.  Our focus now becomes more attracted to the good things in life as life seems to present its selves in this way.

 

Life’s momentum changes over a lifetime many times.  We accept what life sends our way and maneuver our way forward.  Some days are easy. Some other days are battles because we must fight or alternatively we resist, we fear, we hide. 

 

Do not get overwhelmed. All things pass. Life’s momentum can and will shift. If it is difficult today, know that it will change but learn the lesson in the meantime. If it is smooth-flowing today, appreciate and take time to enjoy.

 

We walk our road in solitude although others walk beside us.  Focus is everything. The momentum of life is forever changing. Enjoy and appreciate the ride, whatever it may be.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE

To be or not to be isn’t the question. Be you is the solution; to be that which someone else wants is out of the question. That is not to be!
“To be or not to be”.  Apparently that is the answer. 

 

Do you choose to be yourself or are you committed to being what others expect you to be? 

 

You can be whomever you wish to be and believing this opens the door to exploration of who you are. 

 

When you meet someone new, do you hide your true self, or do you allow your true self to shine loud and clear?

 

As we age, we become more comfortable in our own skin. We learn to accept who we are, but we certainly can stay open to making changes.  I have heard some say they don’t give a damn what others think.  Others are quite aware of how they present themselves to others and make changes according to each person they meet.

 

There can be high expectations under some circumstances. We are on our best behaviours during a job interview, for example.

 

Some individuals may not clearly understand what we mean when we said “You can be whomever you wish to be”.  The person you wish you could be already exists -- living within.  You wouldn’t recognize these traits or this personality if it did not already exist. Allow these traits to shine through.

 

If you take an honest, deep look at who you are (in this very moment), and you are comfortable with that person, what needs to change? 

 

If you take an honest, deep look at who you are and you are not comfortable with that person, why not make some changes?

 

Be comfortable with YOU!

 

If you ask ten people to describe who you are, you will get ten different answers.  So do not change to appease other, make changes because you wish to make them for yourself.

 

To be or not to be is not the question.  To be you, to be comfortable with you is the solution; to be something that someone else wants is out of the question. That is the not to be!

TRIED AND TESTED

The tried & tested often is a good choice. Things always works out as they should. Our attitude is ultimately our true experience.  Accept & move forward.
If something has been tried, tested and true earlier, does it still hold validity in today’s day and age?

 

We tend to lean towards what we know and what has worked in the past.  Most situations, however, can bring with it a slightly different twist to it. 

 

We must consider all angles of the equation including the “what if’s”. We won’t always get it right, but we must have faith in our process.  The unfolding of events, regardless of our decisions, will playout the way they will. 

 

There truly are no mistakes. When it might look lik
e we have made the wrong decision, it was supposed to happen that way regardless.  It was a learning experience.

 

The tried and tested often is a good choice.  Sometimes, however, we need to go beyond our comfort zone.  The results may be quite satisfactory or they may come up short.  Learn from the shortfalls and try again.

 

In the end, it always works out as it should.  Our attitude toward how things unfolded is ultimately our true experience.  Accept, take responsibility and move forward with deliberation.

YOU NEED TO BE REMINDED

Check your attitude. You need to be reminded of this so you can make choices that propel you forward not only in life but in your thinking process, too!
Take a moment to experience your life as it is in this very moment.  What surrounds you? 

 

Look at your immediate environment. How lucky are you?

 

Periodically, we need to reflect on life and get a clear picture of where we are.  Sometimes we need to reflect so that we can make changes.  Sometimes we need to reflect to recognize that in many ways we are blessed.

 

For those that are struggling, know that any struggle is temporary.  Change is guaranteed. Stay strong, listen to advice, and follow your heart, not always your head. 

 

There ARE better days ahead but today we will commit to this lesson.  Strive to learn as once a lesson is learned, life changes. Life may dictate at times but your attitude towards life events and circumstances is always in your hands. 

 

You need to be reminded of this so you can make choices that propel you forward not only in life but in your thinking process, too!

BRING IT ON

Challenge yourself willingly. Learn the lesson, grow and move forward. That is truly living!
Whatever is taking place in your life, face it head on.  Whether this is exciting or stressful, do what must be done so you can make your way forward. 

 

No matter what the situation, hatred and violence should not be seen as a solution.  If you have to express anger, release it but do it in a productive manner, whatever that may look like. 

 

If there are stumbling blocks in your way, either remove them or go around them. The lesson is in figuring this out. 

 

If you are being offered opportunities, what’s holding you back? 

 

Is it fear of failure? 

 

The only thing to fear is fear itself.  It will rob you of living life fully.  It’s okay to make mistakes as long as you get back up and try again using the valuable information you gained from the unsuccessful attempt.  So if it brough education to the table, was it failure?

 

Is it lack of knowledge or experience that holds you back?

 

If you are not ready or prepared, educate yourself and do the prep work; then move forward. 

 

If you conclude it is fear holding you back, remember this is your perception of what might happen if you make your move. 

 

There are times when the road ahead gets foggy, so to speak.  Sometimes we have to go with the flow for a while until the current of life changes.  We have no choice on what life may throw at us. The lessons can be hard. Learn what you can, when you can. Persevere and accept during the times when it is appropriate.

 

Challenges can test our attitude and our perseverance.  Life can be tedious and challenges are in place from time to time and we just need to persevere.  We grow exponentially during life’s hardships and learn from life’s lessons, willingly or forced.  The latter is the hard way.  When a life lesson knocks, tell life to bring it on! Challenge yourself willingly. Learn the lesson, grow and move forward. That is truly living!

UPON REQUEST

Metaphysical/spiritual journeys happen at the right moment. The challenge is fear & self-doubt. What you need is available upon request. Let your earthly & spiritual paths merge.
Do you verbalize your hopes and dreams?

 

Why not address higher sources and make a request? 

 

If you feel you are ready, truly believe that you are. 

 

There are forks in the road but there are no wrong choices, just easier routes and harder routes. Sometimes we move in leaps and bounds, and at other times, progress happens in little segments but each steps takes you to that next level. 

 

Don’t be in a hurry as rushing often slows down the process.  When the time is right, what needs to happen will.

 

If you feel a shift, it has already begun.

 

Metaphysical/Spiritual journeys or conquests take place when the time is right. There is nothing you need to defeat or overcome other than fear, a feeling of unworthiness or lack of confidence. Allow this earthly journey and the spiritual realms to come together. All that you need is available upon request. (Remember the difference between needed and wanted).

WITHOUT YOU, THE PUZZLE IS INCOMPLETE

Many of our readers have asked in many different ways how they can make things better.

 

Can one person make a difference?

 

We have talked about the ripple effect on many occasions. One small act can touch countless people.  

 

Currently, people are talking about the stress they are experiencing and the need for change on a deep level. We have heard that the world around us currently looks grim leaving many feeling anxiety and despair.

 

We can do our part to change the world for the better, even if in ways that feel minute.

 

Currently, we see and experience the effects of war but there is also much going on beneath the surface too.  The struggles we experience take a toll on each one of us in different ways.  Some hold on and keep everything inside, others react externally while others, through their discomfort, can, intentionally or unintentionally, cause difficulties for others.  We become enveloped in stress and anxiety by taking on the energies around us, both from people and from our judgement of their actions.

 

Is this a turning point or transition period globally? 

 

Don’t think that you & your little piece of the puzzle cannot influence the whole.  Without you, the puzzle is incomplete. You & your contributions are needed.
It certainly feels like it.  We are at the precipice of change.  Transition is always painful as we make way for the change.  Those with influence should take a leading role in making life better for those around them, pressing for peace and safety. 

 

What can one individual do to push for peace?  I’d love to hear your suggestions.

 

Don’t think that you and your little piece of the puzzle won’t or cannot influence the whole.  Without you, the puzzle is incomplete. You and your contributions are needed. Will you influence peace, hunger, isolation, loneliness, ………..?

OWN IT

If we look at our experiences from a different vantage point (not as a victim), we can find answers. Own it to learn from it & then move on. Life is to be lived!
Whatever you might be doing right now in your life, own it. Regardless of how it might look to you at this point, on some level it is supposed to be.

 

If this is a good experience, wrap your arms around it.  If this is a stressful experience, embrace the lesson as it is an educational experience.  The faster you learn the lesson, the faster you can move beyond it.  This too will pass.

 

I truly believe there are no co-incidences in life. There is something valuable behind everything in life, sometimes we recognize it and sometimes the value is hard to see. If you can’t find the “why” behind what is taking hold life, let it go. It will be revealed eventually.

 

Taking responsibility and making it your own are two completely different energies.  Sometimes life happens and the events are out of our control. We are not to hold the responsibility. Learn the lesson and move on. Do not own it. If we hold on to challenges in life, or take up residence in these challenges, we create an experience where we only see challenges and we are held captive.

 

We are at the mercy of some life experiences, and we cannot alleviate these lessons. We can, however, at them as lessons and change our attitude towards the experience.

 

Explore life below the surface. What lies there?

 

If we look at our experiences from a different vantage point (not as a victim) , we can find answers. There is a time for everything in life. Whatever is happening right now, own it just for the moment so you can learn from it and then move on. Life is to be lived!

ASPIRATIONS AND GOALS

At what age do we begin setting goals for ourselves? 

 

Some begin very early in life to set financial goals, others wait until later and some never aspire to creating a “nest egg”.

 

Most of us wish to be comfortable, at the very least. It is quite normal to set goals for financial success. However, when setting these goals we must make sure that we are not coming from a place of shortages and that we are not becoming obsessed with the need for more.

 

We live in a material world, so there it is expected that we set these goals. However, should material achievements be our only goals?

 

Let’s keep our minds open. The only limitations are the ones that we put on ourselves. Our thoughts, aspirations and goals have ripple effects.
We do not have to be fixated on material aspirations.  We can also choose spiritual or metaphysical ambitions. When we search for our spiritual connection (whatever spirituality may mean to you), we realize that this is not something that we need to seek, because it is already a part of who we are.  Look within and we can recognize that connection. Many of our readers have mentioned that they do not feel worthy of this connection and the reasons behind this vary immensely from person to person.

 

Knowing that our belief structure expands with focus, we need to pay attention to our beliefs, our expectations, our focus.  These will build and more will come your way. Focus is key. We need to regularly review our beliefs and expectations.  Are they advantageous?

 

Let’s keep our minds open. The only limitations are the ones that we put on ourselves.  We can focus on opening our minds as well as letting go, practicing and allowing. It gets easier with disciplined effort. 

 

Our thoughts, aspirations and goals have ripple effects.  We mold our reality with our belief structure and focus. What is possible?
