Perspectives can shift with time.
Probably one of my biggest lessons has been to do only what I feel called to do in any given moment. Regardless of what’s going on around me or what other people may say to me about it at the time.
The path of moderation, which can often mean taking the higher road at times, or sitting and waiting for the storm to pass, then going full steam ahead at others.
So how can I pass the time when I am left waiting? By enjoying the simple things and taking it day by day. It’s easier said than done and I DO still have my moments… but learning to respond, rather than react has been a honed skill in recent years. Choosing peace, over and over, even amidst any chaos.
Recently I had a situation where something felt not quite right, but my path lead me directly into it regardless. It was a short lived experience. I didn’t take it personally, but I took the lesson, which was to remove myself quickly and not continue to engage when something no longer felt right for me. No blame either, just acknowledgement.
Trusting myself. Take it slow. Letting it happen and knowing you will be ok once you are through to the other side.
Perhaps it’s completing the cycle for all the times I didn’t do it quickly enough, or I let it drag out till I could have eventually blamed others for my own personal discomfort.
Either way, it’s over now and it’s time to start again at this time, with this newfound personal knowledge of my own body’s response and inner compass foretelling me what it feels like, when something just isn’t right for me. Even if all evidence around me suggests or directly tells me otherwise.
Letting it all go, even if it’s just for now… or possibly ever again.
Much Love,
