Learning from life lessons Day 87
December 28, 2008
Day 87 of season 4 and it’s perfect how I found an article written by MarySPaul whom I’ve started to follow on twitter about learning from a butterfly. So much of what I have been going through internally (this week in particular) is about learning to listen to my own voice and not the voices of others, even though they have nothing but good intentions at heart. Trying to protect or prevent someone from making a choice that you think can hurt them is actually not letting them learn and grow. It’s definitely not allowing them to think for themselves. It says, they don’t know better. I feel that we are the only ones who know better for ourselves as it is our internal wants and our feelings that matter when it comes to making decisions and there are certain experiences in life that we need to have to make us grow as spiritual beings.
Doing what makes me happy
December 17, 2008
This is about following your bliss and enjoying life and doing what makes you feel good and keeps you happy and smiling. This week I got a brainstorm to make myself a cat blog to feature my cats and to really just amuse myself. This is pure guilty pleasure and indulgence and the whole thing is making me smile a great big cheesy grin.
I’ve got a whole new project I get to develop that is new and exciting and different in the respect that I can be a dork and it’s pure entertainment and I think it will get some readership. It’s different than everything that I am currently doing because I don’t “have” to do it. I’m doing it for the enjoyment.
Being Present and Breaking Patterns
December 15, 2008
How do you be fully present now? I was thinking about this last night and it really took a lot for me to understand. I had been reading about it for months and months and months. And listening to CD’s and trying to understand what they say about not beating the drum of our past for we are sure to repeat it. I mean I understand that but I think I’ve finally been given the insight into seeing where I go goof up on doing that and how I can go about changing the pattern.
That’s what this is about, breaking our patterns. A pattern is something that we just keep on repeating and the cycle is never ending and it just keeps on going in exactly the same way with never any different type of outcome. How amazingly clear that has become to me today. I know what my patterns are and now it’s time to conquer them. We as humans keep perpetuating our patterns and dragging them forward with us from the past. That is where they should die. The past is the past and you can’t change it and we shouldn’t dwell on it. I more importantly should not dwell on it.
