Just Your Life

 

                                                       Picture of Elbow River by J Hirst


What is this? This is just your life. So you do your part, and the rest is clear. It is clear because there has never been anything lacking, despite any beliefs you might have, despite any ideas you might have. There has never been anything lacking. - Elihu Genmyo Smith, "Do Your Best"

 

I really think that this quote says all there is to say about life.

What is Strength?

 The poster says:

A strong person is not the one who doesn’t cry.  A strong person is one who is quiet and sheds tears for a moment, and then picks up her sword and fights again.

*************************************************

Finding that place of strength, courage, and compassion is the lifetime journey for all of us.  Most will never achieve it because there is so much that gets in the way.  If we find strength, often our courage will fail us.  If we find courage and strength, we can become bullies because our compassion is lacking.

The learning journeys that we are all on are so amazing.  The best learning, for me, happens when I can stand back from a situation and see what the bigger story is.  I ask my  Eagle guide to help me stand back and see the facts, and to help me ignore the emotions and story that are being played out.  It is so hard for us to “stay out” of the story.

To read more on strength, read about Elephant and strength.

Words Have Power

The sign says:

Dear Life,
When I say “things could not get any worse”, it is NOT a challenge.

***************************************

This sign is for all the people that think they have life tough -  and then try to rationalize what they are thinking.   And, we have all done it!

The continuous challenge that each of us has is to speak positively and not in the negative.  We are what we think and speak.

Blessings,

Judy
