W.I.L.L. - Wisdom Involves Listening and Learning

 

Life is not a bouquet of flowers, but more of wild flowers, weeds and whatever else life might sustain.If one has years to experience all the challenges life may present,then there is the opportunity to listen to all around you and then learn from those experiences.Only then are we capable of obtaining wisdom which occurs when we're older.Some have been blessed to be wise beyond their years,but most must experience life over the years.After a certain point, we are able to analyze and evaluate those experiences to an understanding beyond their initial presentation.So at last I say that Wisdom Involves Listening and Learning.This is the power of WILL.Your will which is your power! Embrace it! Live, Listen and Learn! Wisdom will follow.

The Journey Continues

During a lifetime we find ourselves on many journeys. Some will stem from one major source and others will find a path off that main source.All ends will lead back to its original source. But some journeys will lead to an unexpected path from its source unveiling something that was deep within.Discovery is what happens as we journey throughout life. Mostly its discovering who we really are supposed to be. While we struggle along the path of life, we will find ourselves becoming differently during each junction of our journey. Who we are today along this journey is not who we were ten years ago, but rather a version of you who has evolved. Our journey will continue until we have reached the end of the circle of life where the beginning of the journey meets the end of the journey. Travel well throughout and keep becoming! The journey does continue!

The Adventure Continues

 

It is amazing how six year later I am still on this incredible adventure of my life. Never would I have believed the past years have led in my life all the directions it has taken me. I have absolutely no complaints, but pure joy!

Though over these years I have lost loved ones, I have also gained opportunities beyond my wildest dreams. 

I experienced euphoria last year which was a heavenly transformative event. I received affirmation of my writing which was a sweet surprise. I finished my second book to be presented to publisher with another ready to go. I've moved to another state due my husband's new assignment and my children are all moving forward in positive ways which is most exciting. I thank the Almighty for His wisdom to guide me in the directions of this adventure. 

I look forward to where the next part of this adventure leads me. I welcome all opportunities.

HOME

 

Home, where is it, what is it?

Home, is it within us or

Is it a place with a key

Can we close our eyes and see home

Home is what we feel

Home is our heart and soul

It’s warmth, it’s spatial, absolute

Home is denyingly personal

The key to home is within your thoughts

Think it, feel it, and you are home.

MOVING ON

 The idea of moving on for a lot of people is a little scary. Moving on into an area of the unknown may pose a sense of uncertainty, unpredictable and thereof unmanageable events.

Most of us dream of the possibilities of going further, doing something else, changing a routine or just moving on to a new adventure filled with excitement, curiosity and expectations. 

What have you done to prepare for the new adventure you are about to embark upon or are you just moving on taking it one step at a time? Whatever you decide, you must take into consideration of what would give you a sense of peace, joy and hope. Be brave and go forward if you truly hope to pursue your dreams.

Words

Some words make you smile  

                    

Some words lift your spirit                            

Some words have you stuck a while   

        

Have you feel you’re bit                               

Some words make you laugh 

                     

Some words expand your mind 

                  

Some words make a photograph 

              

Seldom stay behind                                      

Some words stay forever 

                             

Influencing us whenever  

                            

Words can be good or bad 

                        

Be an enemy or comrade                           

Don’t let words control you

                          

You control the words          

ANTICIPATION

Anticipation of what’s to come

Can be like the sweet smell

Of a field of flowers;

Or like the tart taste

Of a luscious lemon.

Anticipation

Why?

We meet all kinds of people throughout our lives. Some of them tend to have little to no impact on our lives whereas others impact us greatly. Some we barely remember the when or why of our meeting and others the imprint is written with indelible ink. 
Lifetime of experiences will take our spirits to places unknown or places we need to be. An encounter with someone might help lead the way along our journey. But why do some people come into our lives at certain times and then disappear and others tend to always be there? Why do we tend to seek others to experience life? Can we not find whatever we're looking for within ourselves or must it be complimented or boostered with another?

SELF LOVE

Some of us are naturally born with this and many others nurtured in the concept. Many of us struggle to find purpose and worth in ourselves and constantly question the validity of our being. Instead of looking in the mirror and seeing someone beautiful, but imperfect, we see something very disturbing. We see a mess that needs to be fixed in every possible way. Somehow we fail to see all of the assets we possess. We judge ourselves on how we think others are seeing us rather than loving the uniqueness of our individuality. Stop assuming that something is wrong because something didn't or isn't as we expect they should be. Respect ourselves the way we expect to be respected by others. We should be very proud of our very differences that make us unique for it is this that makes us stand out from the crowd! 

We MUST remember that we ARE the most important person in our life. We MUST LOVE ourselves. Look at yourself and SMILE! 

Unrepentant

The things you did to me,

Why are you so unrepentant?
The things you put me through,
Why am I the sole defendant?
The things of past haunt me,
Why are you so reluctant?
The things you did, ache me
My body still cries in resentment.
These are my truths of past violence,
Love fills me with confidence.

Present Collides With Past

Our mind is constantly playing tricks on us. We go about our everyday business without a care or with firm conviction to accomplish our goals. Then out of nowhere, we are knocked out by the past colliding with the present.
Silly us to think that we were focused and completed our goals will full resolve to find that we missed a piece of the puzzle. 
Suddenly reminded that we didn't do so good after all, we are slapped in the face of "not again". The past rears its ugly self into our psyche. We try to fight off the gut wrenching overwhelming feelings that takes over us, but somehow we are taken over by compliancy.
Tossed into the depths of depression not caring about anything or anyone more importantly self, we find ourself lost. Then something that comes to the light pulls us back into the very much Present reality. Our body and mind still tired from the ordeal, we come back slowly and cautiously in anticipation of what will send us back to the depths of the Past!

SIGNS

All throughout our lives we see and are surrounded by all kind of signs. Some we very carefully follow, but others we virtually ignore. We often choose to ignore the signs though they may be right in front of us, the ones we cannot reach out and touch, but clearly are there. Why do we choose to ignore them? Does their importance mean less to us than those more tangible?
Signs appear to us in many forms. There are the ones that come to us in a dream. There are those that are heard through someone we know or even a stranger. Then there are those that appear to us in a series of signs visual, verbal or audible. They will appear one after an another in an attempt to make us acutely aware of their presence. So then, why do we ignore them? 
Is it because we are afraid of the direction it may take us, lead us on another path not yet traveled?
Would it not be more exciting to explore the possibilities presented by choosing to follow the signs? Most times life is not simple as black and white. Most times life is complex and entangled in a manner we would have never imagined for ourselves, but we survive! Wouldn't life be richer and fuller if we entertained doing and being more than just surviving? 
Take a deep breath, take a few and relax and allow yourself to see and be guided to a new horizon, a new truth! Follow the signs, then have FAITH they are part of your Divine guidance!
Believe in the signs!

FINDING PEACE

Peace is a quiet friend who makes no announcements

It does not speak or make any sounds to alert its presence

Instead it waits patiently to be happily discovered

Peace is something we all want to experience

Some will spend a lifetime in search of it but with no success

Others will bask in glory and ecstasy when quest ends

Peace is not something to see on the horizon

Nor is it any unsuspecting face in a crowd we gaze

But rather the overwhelming feeling deep inside of us.

Seeing the Blessings

So many things happen throughout our lives from the time we are born until the time we die. We are affected by things that make us happy, excited and celebrated. Other things make us feel sad, worried, afraid and hopeless. 
The key is to always see the blessing within your day, throughout your life. Even when something upsetting happens, find the positive of it and thereby finding your blessing. Usually it's the simple things you take for granted that you overlook as the blessing that it truly is. 
Smile at your memories of things that fill you with joy and peace within your heart. Take the time to smell the flowers and walk along a path filled with the newness of the time. Just as you see the beauty of the blossoms on the trees at the beginning of Spring, so should you see your life constantly renewing and giving yourself a fresh start. Giving yourself the opportunity to experience life as it is meant to be is seeing and living the blessing. 

ATTRACTION

What is it that has drawn you to whom you are with now? Is it a feeling, a sense of smell, their appearance, an appeal to their voice or maybe just their aura?

Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics by Albert Einstein.
So what do you think? 

MOVING FORWARD

I refuse to let the past hold me back.
I refuse to let yesterday to be the final act.
I choose to move forward with love
I choose to move forward in faith from above.

I have learned to live and smile each day.
I have learned to live a whole new way.
Moving forward expresses the new me.
Moving forward is the only way to be. 

MEASURE OF SUCCESS

How do you measure your success? 
Have you chosen your own personal gauge or are you measuring your success according to others? 

So many people make the mistake of believing that success has only to do with financial gain. But, only if that is your purpose in life is that even relevant.

Consider asking yourself, "What is important to me?" Once you have answered to your satisfaction, then set the goal in which you wish to achieve. If your goal is to be a good mother and partner, then financial gain may have little to do with your personal success. 

If your goal is to go into business for yourself, then financial gain will be a part of your success. 

Consider personalizing what you want to achieve and it will easier to be successful according to you!

Tell me what is success to you..........................................

TODAY, is exactly the right time to work on your plan for the future. 
TODAY, is the time to take that leap of faith to move into all the tomorrows that are just a moment away. 
TODAY, is all the yesterdays that you waited to be today, the here and now. So seize this precious moment in time because it will shape your tomorrow.

HOW DO YOU ROLL?

Which way do you roll?

Do you use guides to lead the way, 

or do you allow yourself to go astray?

Which way do you roll?

 Do you always take control

or maybe you struggle with delay.

Which way do you roll?

Do you have any say

on what's your goal? 

How do you roll?

The Haunting

Lost in the recesses of your mind

Are all the memories of past you'll find

Buried so deeply to not be known

Painful thoughts that you refuse to own

Unearthed memories constantly taunting

With nowhere to escape all the haunting.
