Are you willing to take steps to turn your life around?
“Nothing is easy to the unwilling.”
-- Thomas Fuller
Hi everyone,
No one could ever say that life on Planet Earth is
easy. The human journey is fraught with challenges and
distress. At the same time, there is more guidance
available now than ever before on how to manage our
life journeys so we can move through the obstacles with
increasing ease and revel in the abundant delights here
to be savoured. Are you willing to open to this
possibility?
When our lives are dominated by pain, addictions,
fears, anger, co-dependency, martyrdom, victimhood,
depression, etc., we are unconsciously caught up in our
stories. We react to events, to other people and to our
own thoughts and moods according to old self sabotaging
and limited karmic patterns. Life seems like a downward
spiral and the light of hope gets dimmer.
This way of living is not wrong or bad! If this is your
experience at present, please let go of any tendency to
judge yourself, feel guilty or ashamed and beat
yourself up. It simply is what it is. There's no
question that it is painful, though, and if you’ve had
enough of the pain, we assure you that you have
options.
In fact, if you’re reading this now, take heart that
you are ready for something new and much better!
If we are willing to take responsibility for our own
experience, to begin to stop blaming others or
ourselves and to fall back on excuses, we can begin to
affect a shift. If we are willing to look objectively
at our own behaviour - to examine our thoughts and our
feelings, we gain the power to make new choices. For
example, if I catch myself blaming someone, I can
choose to stop that line of thinking and instead
consider how I can do something constructive to make a
difference.
It’s this step by step opening through awareness that
lifts us out of unconscious reactions and ruts and sets
us firmly on empowering new paths.
As they say, success builds success. When we commit to
create change by being willing to learn some new
skills, we reap the rewards. These positive outcomes
generate momentum that makes it that much easier to
take another new step. There is hope. We notice our
attitudes becoming more optimistic and we can sense new
strength in our character. Life takes on a new sense of
adventure.
The keys to successful living lie in self-awareness so
we can see the old story and consciously choose
another. If you are ready for something better, then
tap into sources of inspiration. Explore tools to
support you in building the self-awareness and self-
acceptance that will bring in the gold for you. Our
Higher Awareness site is chock-full of both inspiration
and tools to develop self awareness.
“What you have to do and the way you have to do it is
incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it,
that's another matter.”
-- Peter F. Drucker
