Cray Cray
(Urban slang for crazy)
Hi, it’s me again.
What does the statement “baptism by fire” mean? It means you have to prove to yourself you are capable, keep going even when you want to turn back and be able to move forward on your own steam…
If you only realized worrying is literally betting against you. There are times when we have to put up with the uncomfortable part of our lives because what we label as problems might be opportunities in disguise – opportunities that help us get over the darker times…
I understand fleeing would be the first option and giving up at the first hurdle would be human nature but the best parts of your life might be on the very next horizon. You won’t know unless you try.
You might get knocked down one hundred times or maybe more. We have to endure some bitterness at least because we owe it to the younger versions of ourselves who were so determined at the beginning. To them anything was possible.
If you get stuck in a downward vortex of fear, anxiety and self-ridicule, remember it is not life that matters but the courage we bring to it. How much courage do we need to really live our lives?
Our ego is the part of us that likes to reject the moment and focus on the future rather than accept what is in the present so it makes it hard to experience any kind of joy.
This month I want to gently urge you to push yourself and open up to the possibility that there are better options.
I wish I could show you when you are vulnerable, lonely or in the darkness that astonishing light that is your own being… and that you could truly believe it. When you get out of your own way, your light will shine… endlessly. It takes a conscious choice. Challenge yourself and focus on the lessons already learned. That is all you really need from yesterday.
Focus on love of yourself first and you will create happiness instead of worrying about it… If you can’t that is just cray cray and you will miss opportunities.
Keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving. ©
Written with love.
