It is amazing how unknown territory can really scare a person. But I suppose this is what meditation, yoga, reiki, chanting etc are trying to teach us. How not to get affected. Try and be centred through it all. Everything we do, everyone we meet, all the thoughts in our head, every moment that passes by, is a new chance, a new beginning, a new way to start afresh. We can chose and decide to behave in any manner we like, as long as we are cognisant of the fact that we are making those choices and decisions with our own will and fully aware of our actions. We must be willing to deal with the consequences that follow too... That is what helps us understand ourselves better.
Looking inward is just the start... It is the beginning to a world of possibilities... If we want it to be. Technically, there is no right and wrong, there is no black and white... but we need to find our own path and have our own sense of love, compassion, direction and it all...
There was a phase in my life where I was so at peace with myself and my surroundings that there was nothing anyone, other than my mother, could say or do to disrupt that. Its amazing how easy it is to forget our ways to keep ourself centred. Its amazing how our surrounds can affect us to such a large extent. No one ever said that an inward, spiritual journey was going to be an easy one, but the leanings along the way are fabulous. Sometimes you see it all around you, and you're so hell bent on wanting to fix a situation or trying to help someone else go through a process of their own... we forget that it is THEIR process to go through. We've made a journey in a certain manner, others have to make their journey too.
Every journey is full of changes in many ways... we need to learn to embrace change with grace. Once we master that, life becomes a whole lot better. Again, its not easy, but it the only way.
Life is meant to be lived with nothing but love, hope, happiness and compassion... If that's not happening, we need to make a change... Since change is the only constant factor in our lives, it is not that hard to bring about change... It is one of the simplest things for us to do, because we are very used to it... But what holds us back is our fears. This can being me back to my point about how everything we do is stemmed out of two emotions, love and fear.
Back to the point I wanted to make... Change. No matter how good or bad it seems to be at the time, in the long run, we always look back and appreciate it. If there is one thing that life has taught me, change is constant and needs to be embraced with love else it will break you down with all the negative emotions you can imagine.
In the hope to be able to adapt forever more... and hoping to be spreading love, happiness, compassion and joy in small ways every day if nothing else. That's what keeps me going. Bringing a smile to others faces.
