” spicy stuff; coming your way now, good! ” ” Keep moving, sweet Inner Child. “
Have you ever watched a well known motivational speaker speak? If not, you are not alone. In the world today that’s tough to find someone positive, inspiring or forward thinking.
As my 5 months of child training gone in preparation of my return to the fold after the second season of relaxation and a mostly tropical family vacation, I have been reflecting over my journey. Finding the beauty in what was and what might not be. Grabbing the joy. I am reminded of the greatest motivator of all, that is the journey. We become the stars of our own journey and if we are looking at the past taking stock and trying to correct the past. If we are looking forward taking stock and planning for the future. It was not so much in the childhood I spoke of, but instead today and for the future.
The future is set in motion although we sometimes forget about the past. Many of us are in a dilemma as if we are being pulled along at a greater speed than our minds allow. We feel frightened even. There are times we feel we are not hosts to our own happiness, even. We feel out of control in so many ways. Even feel we don’t belong; who we are if we are living with style and caring for our own living.
Wondering who we are who is why do we feel so down and anxious to be moving toward a new beginning? Does it have enough to do with our joy, expectation and who we are? Emotions of all sorts seem to be wrapped up in our lives. But are they all within our control? The questions seems to be unending. Is there hope? Is there hope for your own joy and inner peace? Can you perhaps believe that please?
How do I find some sense of some kind of hope in the turmoil of disconnection from yours, your self, your source. No matter how complicated and many times tragic the searching has been, How do you find a path to hope for a sense of the new beginning. The answer is in the story of the engine that switched gears. While the journey of life may seem like the story of the engine, the journey of life is us.
The journey of your life may be filled with many of our own accomplishments and highlights that you enjoyed and felt good about. But you are different. Not only are you different, but you feel different. You feel different because of the journey we are all on. The journey of living. The journey of going. The journey of trying to define ourselves. The journey of being. The journey of learning of ourselves. The journey of change. The journey of being in the world. The journey of learning to trust. The journey of being loved. Then there is the journey of remembering to trust those around us as we remember. The journey of growth and change. The journey of the journey of the journey.
As we enter this journey and the lessons of the experience, we all go through Guides. They are caregVENge, teachers, colleagues, friends, family, neighbors, mentors and our own sense of intuition. Whatever the shape, these are our own personal guides we walk along to be sure we are not too off course. They are always very present as we move and heave these words, our journey and the knowledge we carry, that will be with us always. It is our truth, even when it feels so many times to become challenged. That part of you we all have to get used to, we will get back to the key points of what the journey is about. The harness will always be there, we will always have the key. Our excitement can ease our journey into the next aspect of the answers to all life’s questions.
We are all on our way to the adventure of loving and finding our way back home. They are the same path, just with different hearts. All of the tools available to us on this journey are pain and those in our inner world. Yes, they are all in our control. All of the answers lie with each one of us following the rules we know yet often choose to leave out. Law of attraction, law of nature, law of Jesus, law of God, law of love or scientific law for that matter are all there, but it’s up to you on how much of this you bring to the ride.
It was and is always about loving; we can love whatever goes our way. Knowing we are loved, so it is up to us to give it. Loving ourselves is the greatest gift we can bring to our journey and the masterpiece of our life. Whether you are a parent, for starters, or a stranger we can give this gift of what we have and how far we have come. It will NOT be left behind, it
