Live Your Life!

  Have you noticed how people just seem unsatisfied?  How we seem to just stand still in the face of insecurity and our fears.  I did just that.  I thought I was safe, that I had to be the centerpiece for my whole family.  I thought I was responsible for all their joys,  sorrows and of course keeping them safe.  The day my husband passed that illusion was shattered.  Insecurity and fears are just emotions that imprison us, enabling us to live a full life.    I realized I had to let go of the grip I had on life, trying to control all the pieces, feeling responsible for everyone else all the time.  I lost myself, my joy for life.  I turned inwards, feeling all the emotional pain manifest itself in my body.  

 Everything happens for a reason, the good, bad and the ugly. Life is giving us opportunities to grow, to look within.  We are constantly surrounded by pearls of wisdom, just waiting to be discovered.  When our energy has no way to express itself it can wreak havoc in our lives, We become dissatisfied with everything, we find fault in others, we resist any and all change.  The one thing constant in our Universe is change, so we must learn to let go and flow with it.  So often we remain fixed in a life which doesn't allow our growth, but we feel safe.  It becomes almost unbearable.  It is just amazing how long we can remain static. We begin to feel that we are just existing, not living.  That is when the spirit is whispering to you, "Live your life, express, find joy"

  How would it feel to finally plant your feet on the path of joy, expression, and creativity.  Life would become a beautiful mystery, each day unfolding little surprises that fill us with joy.  Most of us have many reasons why we can't do this or that, sometimes just the idea of change sounds scary, it is the unknown after all, but that is what makes it so exciting.  We get to create something new, something that makes life worth waking up for in the morning, that fills your soul with joy and love.  When your in love with the world, the world is in love with you and everything tastes, sounds, and looks better.  That first step is the hardest.  Make it a little step if it is more comfortable, but just make a step.  You will start to see doors begin to open, doors you thought were shut to you.  The possibilities are endless as you embrace a life that captivates you, holds you, inspires you to be all you can be.  Discover talents that you never thought you had by just engaging in some new activities.  So begin now to imagine the things you want to do, see yourself doing it.  Notice how it makes you feel.   Picture this several times a day.  If you can imagine it, believe it, you can achieve it!
