"Our potential rises to the unimaginable. To inspire, live life, and favor human growth." ~ Maria Florio
When it comes to fears, we all have them. Some people seem to easily overcome them, others think they have overcome them and still others have a hard time overcoming them. When you’re looking to find yourself, and follow your heart, your fears have a bit of a hold on you and this can be frustrating. So, why is it that even though you’re on a path towards self-completion it’s so hard to get past those fears or why is it that when you think you’ve overcome them, they come back…
There’s that saying about how you don’t pick your family, but you pick your friends, or something along those lines; and friendship is one of those amazing gifts that life gives us. What’s so special about friendship is the unconditional love you have for one another when that friendship is meaningful and like family. Friends can help you when you’re down and they can lift you up even more on those beautiful days. What is friendship? Where to start…
Getting unstuck is something I’m sure we’ve all heard about and experienced; but before we can talk about getting unstuck, we should look at what it really means to get stuck. As is with most things, our mind plays a huge role in this entire stuck/unstuck ordeal. Are there situations in life where we feel like we can’t move forward or maybe that we can’t control and so we feel stuck, sure there are. But since life is always in motion and transforming are we really stuck or is it that we feel stuck?
You know how they say that when you know something is true, you don’t feel the need to prove it. You don’t have to prove it because in your heart you know it’s true; this truth brings peace to you, which is why you don’t feel the need to “fight” to prove it. If on the other hand you’re battling to prove something, then you are also battling to prove that something to yourself.
Time is one of the most precious things we have, and as we get older we have to start managing it with work and other responsibilities. Some people struggle more with this change, while others have an easier time with it. The reason for a greater struggle usually involves a certain level of unhappiness with the lack of time we have, to do the things that are more enjoyable to us. However, there are various ways people can lessen this struggle and regain a sense of joy with time…
There are plenty of considerate people; actually, I bet everyone finds themselves to be a considerate person (at least in some ways or circumstances). In fact, often you find people talking about how considerate they are while they find others to be so inconsiderate. Is this true? Are they considerate and others just so inconsiderate? As always it comes down to perspective and who’s talking.
Everyone has an opinion, a perspective, a way they think and see things. This point of view is the starting point of our thoughts and reasoning, which also means it’s the way we absorb information shared with us. So, when listening to others, this means you could be listening with a tainted ear, one that listens with your own perspective in mind. I say could because there is a choice you can make once you realize you’re listening with your own thought process and perspective, and…
When it comes to trust, we have one of those intriguing topics. People say they trust others and life, but when faced with doubt or struggle, that trust becomes fragile. The level of trust depends on each individual; and when it comes to trust given to a person, that then depends on the relationship and the things that have happened throughout the duration of that relationship. But when it comes to life, it seems like trust is constantly at play depending on a number of factors including the person…
When something that you’ve been used to or have had in your life for so long comes to an end, how you handle it makes a huge difference in how you welcome the new, but also in how you feel as the old passes by. We’re so used to being told how much we will mourn departing from something we’re used to that we’re not really prepared to look at it with a lighter heart, maybe even a bit of an excited heart. As long as there is life, there is movement. This also means that even though things may seem the same, they aren’t ever exactly the same in all the details of that moment.
When you think about the things that have changed in your life, what do you see? Do you stop to notice the types of traits you’ve acquired, some of the changes that have taken place to other traits that you thought would always be the same? Do you stop to see the transformation that has taken place within following what you’ve experienced outside of you through life?
