DUTY AND OBLIGATION

There are some actions in life that we are obligated to carry out. We must have a job in order to provide essentials.  We need to look after our health to enjoy good health. We have an obligation to ourselves first and foremost, but we also have obligations to our elders, family, boss, co-workers, friends and the list goes on, in varying degrees. There are things we must do to keep the flow of growth and opportunities in place.

 

We have a duty to our family, especially to our children as they slowly move forward into their own lives.  They learn from our example. We are likely reflected in the actions of our children in some form or another.  Because of this, we must set an example that is worthy to be carried forward. 

 

Being that good example comes easier if we have respected our obligation to ourself as we mature. It is important to foster positivity into our daily lives. It is essential to formulate an action plan that includes our wellbeing. We do have obligations beyond ourselves, but we must take care of ourselves to be of assistance to others. You cannot feed someone from an empty cupboard. 

 

We have the ultimate tool to initiate change--our attitude. A slight adjustment can help us go from chaos to calm.  It our duty and obligation to ourself.
Is our attitude one that promotes or allows happiness, or are we caught up in the challenges and noise of life?

 

How can we shift our focus away from the noise to accommodate harmony within?

 

We have the ultimate tool required to initiate change.  We can change our attitude, first and foremost.  A slight adjustment can help us go from chaos to calm.  Attitude is perhaps the most important ingredient in making life more manageable, if not enjoyable. 

 

Life can and will be difficult at times.  We cannot change what life throws our way, but we can change the way we look at these lessons.  In our mind, we can change the word “difficulties” and use the word “lessons”.  That in itself is the first step.  We can learn to turn our reactions to actions.  Reactions are uncontrolled.  Actions are purposeful and productive.

 

It takes little effort to be a victim, but it comes at a high price of stress and lack of enjoyment.  Go from victim to victor over your life experience.  It does take work, much effort, in fact initially.  We are creatures of habit.  Break the habit and exercise the “finding the positive” muscle.  The more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes.

 

If we look for hatred in this world, we will find much hatred.  If we look for compassion in this world, compassion will show up.

 

A positive attitude is not going to change the world around you (but it might); a positive attitude will change the world within and make the world around you much more enjoyable.  A life of peace and appreciation is within our grasp and much of what we might want for ourselves is available if we wish to work for it. 

 

Believe in ourselves; push ourselves a little. Make it our duty and obligation to have peace within under any of life’s conditions.  We are strong and resilient. With determination, we can do anything we want to help ourselves through any of life’s situations. We are always learning and becoming stronger if we exercise what we need to.

TIMING

TIMING
How do we know when the timing is right to move ahead or change direction? 

 

Are we ready for action or change? 

 

How will our action affect us? 

 

These are some of the questions we ask ourselves when we are planning.

 

We may hesitate because of our mind’s chatter, or we may hold back because of fear and anxiety.  These unfortunately can cause missed opportunities. 

 

So then, what guides us and how do we know if we should advance? 

 

Quite often we get what is referred to as “gut feeling or instinct”.  There is a part of us that knows whether or not we should do what we are about to do.  Sometimes we listen to this advice, and sometimes we ignore it.

 

This is not to say that we don’t do our due diligence.  That is the first step when we decide to move forward with a plan.

 

There will likely come a time when we look back and say to ourselves “I regret not taking that step”, or “am I ever glad that I listened to my gut instinct and worked towards my goal”. 

 

There will often be worries or concerns about actions taken, but if we sit back and never follow through, we will never know what could have been.  Fear is our greatest enemy and gut instinct is our greatest supporter.  We must learn to differentiate between the two.

 

Sometimes things just fall into place and sometimes we need to assert ourselves and work diligently towards that result we seek.  Have no regrets because of anxiety and fear that resulted in no action.  Push through adversity and know that whatever decision you make, it was the right one, no matter how it might look in the present moment. 

 

You always move in the intended direction.  What we consider a mistake is actually an experience teaching us a valuable lesson. 

 

Advice from others can assist, but ultimately, you make the final decision, so you take responsibility and the action.

 

How do we know when to act?

 

When is the timing right?

 

Now is the time to act. Don’t let fear stand in your way!

THE CURRENT OF CHANGE

Life is a continual lesson, a continual current of change. We have gained inner strength particularly in the darkest moments.  This is a test of resilience.  A test of faith in others and ourselves.

There is much uncertainty in life. We really don’t know where we are headed, yet we can always hold our heads high and make our way through the currents of change presented to us daily.

 

Life moves us along with or without our approval.  We juggle our objectives and set courses for the road ahead without really knowing where that road might take us.

 

Our objectives are likely feasible and attainable, yet it is okay to reach for higher goals as the higher we aim the higher we can reach. 

 

You may question what is the purpose for striving to achieve or to pushing ahead in life. After all, life is uncertain.

 

It is human nature to need goals and objectives to strive for as it gives us tangible purpose.

 

We learn perseverance in dealing with the different climates life presents us with and need to be adaptable as we coming to terms with where life is taking us.  We find solace in those that provide support and tell us to hang on. We maneuver our way forward and we learn to listen to the advice of our inner voice and those who care about us.  We will learn to walk with our heads high through difficulties and we gain immensely through adversity.

 

There certainly will be times when life smiles at us and we must remind ourselves to relax and enjoy these times.

 

Life is a continual lesson, a continual current of change. We have gained inner strength particularly in the darkest moments.  This is a test of resilience.  A test of faith in others and ourselves. 

 

Count your blessings and acknowledge your accomplishments.  Believe in yourself.  Listen to advice and know that you are never alone. You can depend on life teaching you whatever you need to know and then moving you in the right direction, always!

ADVERSITY IS A GREAT TEACHER

Have you been trying, for what seems an eternity, to reach certain goals? 

 

Sometimes there seems to be obstacles no matter what way you turn. You are just about to give up and out of the a door opens that was locked previously.

 

Many of us have experienced this.

 

How long does it take for everything to align so our goals can materialize? 

 

If our goals do materialize from all our hard work, will they be what we had hoped for?

 

It is not just about reaching our objective. It is about building resilience; it’s about perseverance; it’s about building character through our own efforts. Adversity is a great teacher.
Some goals in life do not materialize, while others do.  I have to point out that when some goals do not materialize, we should be celebrating as we cannot foresee some of the effects our goals could have brought about.  On the other side of the coin, reaching our goals can bring about much more than we ever dreamed.

 

In the long run, the results are not any more important than the effort we put into trying to reach them.  This might be hard to digest when we did not reach our ultimate goal, and all our hard work seems to have been for nothing.  Next time we might dig a little deeper and try harder; or alternative, we might know earlier when to back off and cut out losses. 

 

We gain perspective and learn from our efforts.  We advance in one way or another through what we either accomplish or what we failed to accomplish.  The ladder of success is not always an easy one, but one worth climbing.  Sooner or later, you will reach that ultimate goal even though it may not look like your thought it would. Guaranteed, however, we will be stronger because of our efforts and perseverance.

 

In the end, it is not just about reaching our objective. It is about building resilience; it’s about perseverance; it’s about building character through our own efforts. 

 

Internal struggles work the same way.  We build resilience when we deal with internal issues and gain strength as we make our way through them.  We learn from our mistakes and once again persevere.  We learn what it is to fail, to fall short, and we learn how to get back on our feet and begin once again.

 

Inner strength is built from life’s struggles. Strength comes from making our way through these struggles and learning from our experiences.  We are here to advance, learn and grow.  Adversity is a great teacher.
