Nature’s Way

If everything we attempted in life were achieved with minimum of effort and came out exactly as planned, how little we would learn-and how boring life would be! And how arrogant we would become if we succeeded at everything we attempted.

Failure allows us to develop the essential quality of humility.

It is not easy- when you are the person experiencing failure- to accept it philosophically, serene in the knowledge  that this is one of life’s great learning experiences. But it is.

Nature’s way are not always easily understood, but they are repetitive and therefore predictable.

You can be absolutely certain that when you feel you are being most unfairly tested, you are being prepared for great achievement.

Lead From Within: Failure seems to be nature’s way for preparing you for great responsibilities.

Lead with Purpose

Messages From Within

Believe In Your Gift

Make a stand today. On this spot. On this day. Make your actions count. Do not falter in your determination to fulfill your destiny. Do not follow the destiny outlined in some mystical book.

Create your own and be the best you can be.

No one knows the road you have traveled but you. Where you stand, no one else has ever stood before. There is no reason to hide away or hold back. Where you will step is always new, even if you tread on the footprints of others. Remember, you are always defining your way.

Use your gifts with joy. Use your talents for making a difference, Use your beauty- your loving, delightful self to help others.  Create the poetry of your life with toughness and determination and let the light shine for all the world to see.

You have a purpose. Believe in your gift. It is your time to SHINE.

Wisdom Of THE TAPESTRY OF OUR LIFE

Twitter post: Wisdom in 140 characters:

Once you know the meaning of “NO MATTER WHAT” you are free to take a good look at your life.

In the past, when you have looked at your life, you have found it wanting. You have blamed others, even yourself.

As you discover the world of YOU.

You may look differently at the moments you once thought to be random and even destructive.

You begin to see that the events of your life are threads that form a tapestry.

Seeing life as a tapestry can open your eyes to patterns even a beauty you have never seen before.

Seeing life as a tapestry can help you asses what aspects of your life you want to keep and to discern the direction of your future.

The events in our lives are not mere coincidences.

The moments of our lives, even the painful ones, are teachers and guides.

As we take stock of our lives, we can begin to draw people to ourselves, who are empathetic to our purpose .

As we review our life, we learn to see it as a tapestry rather than a series of unconnected moments.

As we review our life, we see the expectation of meaning replaces the expectation of meaninglessness.

This expectation of a tapestry helps us gradually replace the notion of life as fickle with the notion that life is something we can count on.

Follow the patterns of your life, see and realize all the beautiful handiwork.

Make today a masterpiece.

Remember we are all a work in progress.

Are You Being Authentic?

Perhaps you are feeling tired, empty or depressed because you are draining energy as you push your inner desires away.

Maybe you thought that pleasing others… parents, teachers, bosses and spouses was the way to be. Maybe you played by other people’s rules.

Just as the world around you is changing and evolving, so are you.

You now want to travel to new places. You want to stop doing what others want you to do. You want to stop struggling and straining. You want to become more competent, independent – and able to meet our your own needs.

You no longer want to chase someone else’s dream; you want to live your own dreams, you want to come to grips with the idea of being our own person. You want to start living an authentic life, a life you were meant to live.

But living an authentic life requires the courage to face personal truth.

That truth might be how you really feel about yourself, what fears are blocking your success, which habits are preserving the life you have, or what dreams you have suppressed.

The universe will challenge you and sometimes you will try to dance as fast as you can, trying to distract yourself from the inner work that needs to be done. Denying your inner truth is like trying to keep the lid on a pressure cooker that has built up too much steam.

If you know in your heart that you’re not using your most precious gifts or pursuing your dreams, you will not feel passion for the path that you are on. You will find life unbearable.

To find this authentic life, you must find it in yourself.

How do you do that? You must tune into your inner wisdom.

Ask yourself the question “What is important to me?” and then listen to your inner voice, and trust what you hear.

Value your mind, the power of consciousness and clear thought, because your inner voice will quietly guide you within to a clear path that resonates for you – it will lead you to live a life, that is aligned with your purpose.

This pathway will reflect what you believe, how you feel, and what you know.

Living authentically is being committed to the truth of who you are.
It is setting the intention to walk with your purpose more fully and gratefully.
This work is a lifetime process, but in each moment, we have a choice.

What choices will you make to live authentically today?

Do You Feel Like Life Is A Balancing Act?

Yes.

Life is a balancing act…..

You try balancing work, children, partners, friends, personal growth, and romance?

But you still feel that you never get it right?

Breath.

Take a moment.

Release your grip.

Loosen your hold.

Let it be.

Reflect.

Know that finding a balance is an ongoing process and that life is in a constant state of change.

Ask yourself: Are you on track, or have you temporarily derailed? Are you patiently, but steadfastly, working toward your goals?

Allow yourself the time to regularly reassess the direction in which you are heading.

Get organized. Create a structured plan each day rather than reacting to whatever comes up.

Focus on your priorities.

Occasionally allow yourself to say “NO.”

Life is a balancing act. It is a continuous shifting and adjusting.

Finding your balance is important.

Why?

Because you will a better parent, partner, leader, employer, employee and most of all you will a much better you.
