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.

THE MOMENTUM OF LIFE

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”.  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!

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!

LIMITATIONS IN LIFE

More often than not, we have to accept our limitations. There is much we cannot change (with the exception of our attitude). With some situations, we can change things to a degree, but life’s course seems to have a destination in mind.

 

We must have faith in the process, accepting on some level that what lies ahead is the path that we are meant to take.

 

We are seldom in control of the winds of change. Change is guaranteed so do not get too comfortable with where you sit today. There are always influences beyond our control so be flexible and open minded.

 

Sometimes the shift feels favorable, other times the shift feels very uncomfortable. We, more often than not, become concerned and anxious with the unknown or change which only create a less than desirable experience. 

 

We can learn to move with the wind and let it carry us forward.

 

Remember, without change, we stagnate! 

 

The unknown can be frightening. Even when the future looks promising, there can be a feeling of concern because we do not know what to expect. 

 

When life seems to dictate, adjust by not fighting the process unless a fight is warranted and can make a difference. On some level, we will benefit no matter what the outlook, either by actual changes for the better or by experiences that teach us valuable lessons.

 

The only thing we have full control over is our attitude towards what is happening. We must process each step in life, feel the energies or learn the lessons. We can react or we can act. We can hold on to struggle or we can accept. We will not escape our life lessons, but we can control our inner dialogue and how we relate to what unfolds. 

 

What limitations in life are you creating?

ITS NOT ON YOU

It is important to take ownership of our actions. In some circumstances, however, the actions of others directly influence those with little or no choice but be affected.

 

In many cases, it takes two to tango, so the saying goes. If it is two parties taking action or acting out, then both parties need to take responsibility for what has taken hold. 

 

It is also important to realize that you act for yourself.  It is just as important to recognize that it is not up to you to push someone else to make changes.  They must make their own decisions to take appropriate actions. We cannot force others to make changes to themselves or corrections to their actions. It can be frustrating to watch someone close being hurtful towards others (including you) or themselves.

 

Sometimes, people shoulder the blame for things they did not do or had no control over. How often do we overthink events and struggle to come up with alternative actions we could have taken to change an outcome that is already in the past (an outcome we had no decision in creating)? 

 

“If only I had made a phone call that day then Charlie (or some other loved one) may not have been in the car at that precise moment of impact” is a perfect example.  The events of life are not yours to own.

 

Remember, it is not always on you but take ownership when it is. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and choices. Stop blaming yourself when it is not your fault and carrying the weight of others. It is not on you! Have self-compassion and set clearer boundaries.

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.
