| If you have read this far.... then you
have begun to think. And with the thinking comes hope. You can change.
You can become a whole person. You can become real. You can be you! Change
comes from within. Change comes from looking at yourself and deciding that
something is amiss. Change takes courage and strength. It is never easy...
It means thinking for yourself. It means walking the talk. It takes time,
but change can happen. And with the right change... you will have peace
of mind and heart. It means taking responsibility for yourself. It means
facing yourself. It means "doing the right thing". It means an "attitude
adjustment". It means not blaming others. It means walking away from many
things while walking towards others... It means assessing your life and
yourself. It means different priorities. It may mean a different lifestyle
or job. It may mean different friends. It may mean getting rid of things.
It may mean getting a divorce or moving. Change always takes many forms.
Always strive towards the positive. All of life and what happens here in
this world is a school for the soul. There are many tests for each of us.
Before we come back to the earth plane, we actually plan for new our life
and we include the harsh (and often times nasty) lessons as a test for
the soul. It's also a voluntary form of "payback". During our many
lives we all get to know about rejection in it's many forms, betrayal of
others and betrayal of self, confusion of the heart and mind, aloneness
and isolation, depression and heartbreak, survival and needs, what it's
like to be male and what it's like to be female... We learn about everyday
choices and those "once in a lifetime"choices, death of the body and death
of the spirit, birth and re-birth ... and the list goes on and on into
infinity. All of us will experience all of these lessons. Some will know
even more traumatic things like violence, abuse, rape, murder, war and
so forth. You may not feel you have a choice in any of the above when they
happen. But you do...you really do. You may have the choice to say
no... You may have the choice to get beyond what happened. You may have
the choice in how you let it affect you. You may have the choice in how
you react, etc... You may have the choice in how you will treat others
and how you treat yourself. You always have more choices than you think.
But the choice to let the ends justify the means is just a cop-out. To
say there are no choices is a cop out too. You always have a choice...
it may just not be the one you want to have. One of the biggest and most
dangerous pitfalls in this lifetime... is called despair or lack of hope..
Falling into despair and losing hope will cause you and your soul to stop
growing. It can lead you to make poor decisions or cause various types
of problems to crop up seemingly out of nowhere. It also can lead to suicide
both physically and/or mentally. It will also extend the time needed on
this earth plane to bring your soul to a perfect state. Understand this....Earth
is like a boot camp. It is a very difficult camp but know this.... you
will make it...even if it takes many lifetimes. No one is left behind...
sooner or later everyone catches up and everyone goes Home. Some just make
it sooner than others. So get up each day and move through it slowly one
step at a time. Take each day as it comes. Every day is a new chance...
no matter how small or large that chance is... to make changes or fine
tune... Be aware of what you think and do. Get through the day with the
least amount of harm possible to yourself and others. Do not whine. Do
not give up. Do not shut down. |
