Thought For The Day - Unpredicable Changes

When we feel thrown off balance by the unpredictable changes around us, the natural tendency is to hang on tight. Our human fears can restrict us even when it is more powerful to be flexible and active. Release yourself to your soul's adventure and start dancing on the marbles!

Thought For The Day - Avoidance

Our natural human tendency to avoid what is uncomfortable is a diversion from the true movement of our soul. Rather than dodge an issue, a feeling, a person, a challenging situation, reach out and grab it - even if it makes you uncomfortable. Like grabbing a giant soap bubble, once you embrace it, it dissipates. It no longer exists. You can move on.

Thought For The Day - Don't Skip Anger

If you skip the anger part of the grief process and go too quickly to forgiveness, you do not really come out clean. Like stepping in dog doo, but not wanting to deal with it, you may hope it'll just come off as you go, but no matter what you walk through, it doesn't really come clean. Not until you stop and forcefully hose it out of the little crevices in your soul!

Thought For the Day - Approval

No one was ever inspired to grow or change by being criticized. If you want to help someone embrace a change, try letting them know first the things they are doing right. With words of approval, even if you can only commend them for their desire or intention to do the right thing, you give them encouragement and permission to be open, to be even better.

Thought For The Day - Returning

Sometimes our awareness or focus gets pulled in a direction other than what we would like to see happen in our lives, away from what we think we need to be doing or want to create. Then, there is an opportunity to attend to the thing that is holding us back, like having to stop walking to take the pebble out of our shoe. If we embrace what we have been "called away" to do, then when we return, we are stronger, clearer and more successful.
