Chess Board

Now is the time to decide, do you govern yourself or let others govern you?

 There is a pretty serious game going on right now. 

It's game of mirrors and which one is real?

It is game between good and evil?

Will you stay in the game or will you choose life?

For Centuries they have been playing people like chess pieces on a chess board?

Have you learned the game? Can you tell the truth from lies?

In this game, your playing for your life!

Is anything what you think it is? or have been told?

The illusion is about to come down, will you be able to tell what is real and what is not?

Are you waiting on the sidelines for others to step up?

Are you a doer or an observer?

When you dive under water, will you find that it was only a thin wall seperating another reality?

Good Luck on your journey, because this will be the fight of your life!

May you win!

Change Is an Inhale and an Exhale

 Saw another turkey, harvest is around the corner. There might be temperary set backs. The next steps are around the corner. Every time, I've had to take a step back, the steps forward have been more than rewarding. They say that in order to receive more, we sometimes have to give up what no longer serves us. 

That does not mean that we don't cry about what we're giving up or leaving behind. After all, this is about growing and moving forward. Sometimes it's about giving up friends that don't support us emotionally or aren't up lifting. Sometimes it's about changing house. So that new doors and opportunities can open for us.

When we grow, things will change. It will feel like everything is crashing down around you sometimes. When we get too comfortable with things or people no longer serve us. If we don't move forward, the Universe will force us to move forward and change. When you look back, you will be amazed at how much you've accomplished. Life is not about playing small, it's about being authentic and living your life. You don't owe anyone, an explaination about your dreams or desires. You don't need to apologize for wanting more.

 When your growing, it will look like everything is turning to shit in your life. That's just all the barriers being removed; so you can step through the doorway to bigger and better things. This has happened many times in my own life. It can be walking away from an abusive relationship. It can be moving out of a neighborhood that is turning dangerous. Leaving a job, where people are not appreciated.

You suddenly start to find your tribe and start to find more and more pieces of the puzzle that help you find your footing. You begin to grow and thrive in a better environment. You start to enjoy life more. So open your wings and start to fly.

Unfinished Business

 What happens when there is still unfinished business from one life time to another. 

Think that it's a spirit that will just have to make peace with itself?

Oh, there is still so much more to everything! It is only Act I or Chapter I.

We are not yet at our final chapter or act.

There are people that are born knowing their past lives for a reason. 

It is to finish what was left undone. 

Is this your first life or one of many?

What have you left undone?

How many centuries has it been since your last life?

Will the Angels join you in finishing that business?

Will you hear the trumpets from the ethers?

Will you have courage to step up and address what was not addressed in the past?

Is this unfinished business a simple thing or a complex thing that will require others?

So enjoy your journey and savor every moment of your wins, loses and even the final victory!

When the Universe Steps In!

Those crazy coincidences that can't be explained away are sort of a course correction. It's the Universe's way of making sure that you don't waste your time in directions that's don't really serve you! Like apps that seem to crash and only come up after your scheduled hours are done.

You just can't write stuff like this. Life is so strange sometimes in how different things play out. So take the hint from the Universe and just move along with your life and spend it in a more enjoyable way. Life is too short to waste it on stupid stuff.

So take the time to enjoy your life!

The Game

One of the things I've noticed is that everything is the opposite of what your told. If you've ever applied for a job with a company and they say their mission statement is one thing. When you go to work for them, you find that no one is on board with that mission statement. It's like life is having a split personality.

I've worked for companies that are really conscious of the environment and yet their employees are hell. The companies that have environment impacts have had the nicest employees. I don't know whats up with that. I just say whatever.

I just know if the mission statement says they care about the environment. It in code means we don't give a shit. If a company says it supports and promotes women. It usually means, we keep women down as much as possible.

It's almost like we live in an alternate reality. So as you traverse on this journey. Learn to write your own rule book to keep score. I've learnt a lot on this journey. I've learned that there's always a jackpot after you've gone through a lot of shit. Just like there are up times, there are also down times. Think of it as riding a wave. It's all in the planning of the details.

This way you'll be prepared for whatever life dishes out. Learn what your truth is? This will be how you'll be able to play the game. I wish all who play this game the best of luck! We all deserve to win this game called LIFE!

Spring

With the energy getting stronger and stronger. What are you  planting for Spring? It can be actual seeds in your garden or in your life? What have you set out to accomplish! Are you actually taking time to invest in your own future. This does not mean actually paying to go to school. Knowledge can be acquired by simply picking up a book, watching some videos. Or taking some online seminars.

Some people might be focusing on getting out of debt. Removing toxic people or work environments from our lives. Getting rid of clutter around your home. Whatever you want to change in your life. Just remember you do have control over bringing in some of that change. Just by taking action, whether its showing immediate results or not. You have started to participate in your own life and initiate change.

Not sure how to tackle money issues, libraries exist for that reason. Librarians are a resource too! Many people think that Librarians just shelve books. They have more training than you think. They are trained to access other resources online and within the library network. They can recommend books that are focused on your very problem.

Many people don't even scratch the surface of the resources around them. The libraries exist as a storage for resources and knowledge that is available to all. This is the equal and level playing field for those without money. It is the spring board to help you find some of the missing pieces in your education and help build a foundation for your ideas and dreams. It houses more than books on mysteries and romance novels.

When they say knowledge is power! Nothing could be more true! If you have dreams of creating a better future for yourself. This is one place to start, the staff at the library can also help you rind non-profit resources for your business to help with the next steps. This why expanding your network of people around you is so important. Poor people don't have the knowledge to help other poor people leave poverty. Same with Middle class! Once you have the road map out of your own limitations you can create so much more.

Your start to have choices, you start to see those dreams materialize. They lead to the road out of your limited world and open more opportunities for yourself and your family. So as the weather warms up. What will you plant this year?

It's A Jungle Out There Baby!

One of the biggest reasons people should adult up, is to be able to survive different situations that LIFE might throw at you! In our world, there is domestic violence, mental abuse to both children and adults alike. Sad, but this is our reality! The abuse thing cuts through all social classes. Some bruises, might or might not be visible.

One must have skill in this tool box of personal knowledge would be learning about money. By learning how to handle money, an education that is not taught in any school that I know of. Bookkeeping would be the closest to money skills that I know of; and I would personally look at that as a foundation. The best place to learn some of these skills would be a library.

Another must have skill would be Law. Some schools have this class, Business Law is what you would want to take. This class can be used in real life and your own business should you decide to have one. Having your own business would be a real plus. It would allow you to have financial freedom. Getting back to the subject of Law classes, the next class would be to take Criminal Justice. Why you might ask would you want to take this class? Once you understand how this law applies to your life. It will open up your eyes to what your rights are and aren't. Criminal Justice Law is very black and white. There is no wiggle room for argument, unlike Business Law.

Psychology which is a class only taught at a College level or University. Why, it will help you understand dysfunctional relationships. You'll really start to understand the people in your life, be they family, friends or acquaintances. This is not saying that you have to like these people. It will give you some incite as to how they became the way they did. Marriage and Family is another class, it will explain a view of intimate relationships. Sort of the life cycle of a family.

Every adult should have their own money. No co-mingling of assets or money. This way if your in an abusive situation or relationship you will have an out. This gives you choices. Life should always be about choices. Otherwise, its sort of like living in a prison camp. People that have never experienced any sort of abuse in their lives might find this to be extreme. All I can say, is the reality of life is that there is no Prince or Princess that's going to sweep you off your feet and live a Happily Ever After.  Great ending to a book, but not a reality as we know it.

Every person should step up and take responsibility for you life. You are responsible for your own happiness, not anyone else. Be sure to make your life the best life you can have.

Boundaries

In 2018, some of you might have found yourself setting boundaries, eliminating relationships with toxic people, environments. Changing your diet or finding some healthy choices for yourself. You also might have found people pushing and questioning your boundaries.

As you start to eliminate these things from your life, you might find that you are feeling more calmer than you've felt for the first time in your life. People in communities are under some king of assumption that they have the right to shove things down other people's throats. Some question the very fact that people have a right to say No! That's not okay with me. You don't have a right to give away my rights! If you want to give away your rights, that's your right. You don't have the right to think for me though or give away my rights.

Government has already over stepped it's right to encroach on individual rights. This is like throwing down a gauntlet and expecting individuals to not  revolt and say ENOUGH! All branches of government need to start respecting individual rights. We are not drones! We each have different needs and dreams of where we choose to move our lives. The Constitution is being called into question on many levels. None of us signed up to be slaves that just pays for every and anything that our bean counters think we should pay.

As individuals and communities there is going to be a demand for accountability of Governments and Corporations. No government or corporation is going to be allowed to be immuned. We are reaching a stage in our growth, to question why do we need so much Government or even a Government at all. It is an unfeeling machine that only consumes. It is selfish and self focused. It is not honouring its contract to serve the people.

The cleansing that is going to emerge is long over due. The current structure is twisted and out dated. It will also call individuals to finally step up and participate in your life or vision of what is important short and long term. It is a time for individuals to grow and our Government to be reexamined as to its function in our lives and society. Our armed forces will also be called into question as to where their loyalties lay. They're first loyalty should be its people and not to private corporations who are  consumed about their stock and shareholder dividends. Our military, should never be turned into mercenaries for hire.

This war on countries for stock market profit needs to end. These wars bring turmoil to everyone involved. The people being attacked and the people having to pay for these wars. The casualties are usually the poor and middle class people. The corporations engaging in these type of war games need to held accountable and do actual prison time for these war crimes. Our military is not to be used as pawns for some kind of sick game.

They are sworn to protect and serve. They are not sworn to throw down their lives for someone Else's sick and twisted game. Their lives are much more valuable than someones stupid stock market  index. As we enter the New Year, it will be very interesting to see the changes that come with the New Year. Here's to hoping that our rights will be restored, after all a lot of soldiers gave their very lives for those rights and liberties. May many people take back their personal power. No one has the right to say that we are less important than someone else. We are equals and this has nothing to do with financial standing in society. We each have different dreams and goals on our journey.

Insanity Is In The Air

This crazy divide between people. Setting and pitting people against people. This insane need to shove personal believes down other people's throat. Using race against race. This is definitely the insanity out of the Nazi Germany play book. There is no reasoning with this insane drama. Almost like mass brain washing of the public with all the bullshit.

It will be interesting to see how far this craziness will go? Those of us that have a better grasp on reality as we see it. We are hanging back and choosing to observe and rather than getting sucked into the drama. That is not to say that we are ignoring anything. We are fully aware of how things are playing out. We just choose to not be part of the drama.

The chess pieces are all in place on the chess board. It will be interesting to see what the final move will be. These people are so close to it, they can't even see the whole picture. This also happens in our personal everyday world. It makes decision making next to impossible. It's only when you can finally take a break and take a step back or several steps back that we can really see what is going on.

When we finally take a look at a situation from many different perspectives. We make more informed decision making in our personal lives as well as the environments we are currently living in.
Right now there are so many dramas playing out the distraction game to keep the populous as off balance as possible. Making sure they don't catch on to whats really going on.

This insane hive mind mentality is very similar to mind control. There is definitely a psychology at play here. The atmosphere is ripe for a revolution. The signs are all there. I am seeing signs from spirit. There have been a number of revolutions playing out all across the globe right now. This liberation of the human spirit might be exactly what is needed to move this planet to the next level.

Detoxing

Sept - Oct are great times to go through your life and see what you want to change. What people still fit and what or who doesn't? Once you decide its amazing how things start to shift. Sometimes its not so much that we need to get rid of something, but maybe it's time to purchase something to allow for better organization. What's out control in your life? Is it something you can control or is it beyond your control. Start with the things you have control of. By making those changes other things will start to move too.

If housing or career have felt blocked. Change the areas of your life you can. Start by updating things if it feels right. Go through the things, in your home that need to be updated. It might be new plates?, new clothes, sheets, towels? Even those shifts will move other things in you life. When we start to detox our lives it raises everything else in our lives. It's about listening to what is working and making us happy.

When your happy, your able to create more things and draw them into your life. It becomes easier to change your life. Things that draw you are easier to bring into your life. Always make sure that your balancing out your life. If you don't, life will feel like drudgery. Life is too short to just work. When you bring quality people into your life. It becomes easier to shift what's not working  into an environment that works and supports your dreams and goals.

Sometimes detoxing means getting rid of family or friends that don't support you dreams and goals. If  you have people that are to busy tearing you apart. It might be time to reevaluate those relationships. Are you eating quality food or eating junk. It affects your energy level. If you have no energy to do things. It's time for a change. If you abuse your health, it gets harder to recover from as you get older. Be sure that your taking time to take care of yourself in all areas.

When Did You Give Up Your Power

I am writing this because some people think it's a family thing. In actuality, it is more of a personal thing. Some of us gave up our power as children, some as adults. The key is to take back your power and stop playing the victim. This is not to minimize what happened to you. It's turn things around and make yourself and your life more empowered.

If you suffered trauma, part of the healing process might be to see a therapist who is trained in that area to help you regain your power and life back. It's about becoming strong again and never letting someone take what is yours from you again. When you can pin point when that event took place. You can start to look at the event from your present perspective. This is not about blaming yourself or releasing the other person from their part in it. By looking at where you were in your life and where you are now. You can start to look at it from a fresher perspective. You can learn from it and acknowledge how much you've grown since than.

It might not be easy, but it will be about putting one foot in front of the other. Celebrate your victories even if it's just a little one each day or week. There might be days where you fall back, that's ok. It's about moving forward and embracing the newness of each day and reaching the goals that you want for yourself and growing. Celebrate each day by doing special things for yourself. That might be by having a great breakfast or a massage.

When you start living your life instead of going through the motions. You will be surprised at how much more alive you start to feel.

Is Your Life Calmness or Chaos?

Does shit constantly seem to be happening to you. It's almost like your life is Soap Opera? Lots and lots of drama. Or does your life seem calm and steady. Look around in your life. Where is it the most chaotic and start there. If it's in your work environment, see if you can find a different position with your company or look for a more positive work environment if that possible. If it's relationships in your life. Start to do an inventory of whose on your side or against you. This doesn't mean that your friends or family members can't be real with you.

Once you start to make even little changes, you should start to see a difference. Pay attention to the changes in your life. Sometimes it can be that your in the wrong type of work or surrounded by the wrong type of people in your life. Sometimes we need to make changes in ourselves. So find out what you like or don't like in your life or about yourself.

If you just love chaos and that's who you are! Then own it! Sometimes it's about facing the things we don't like about ourselves head on. I call this shadow work. This is not about judging the things we don't like. If their changeable than fine. If their not, it's about how do you embrace that part of yourself. The more you try to deny that part of yourself the more that it will surface. Sort of like a child having a temper tantrum. That's why it's a good idea to let that part of yourself out to play more often in a safe way. This way that little gremlin or yourself doesn't come out at the worst possible moment. Think of this as damage control! LOL!

If you have calmness in your life an it's just flowing and having each step line up with the next step. Than congratulations, you living the dream and life is working with you! The objective is to make your life easier not torture. It should not feel like your moving through quick sand. So have yourself the very best life your capable of having!

Gagging People's Rights

I'm seeing racism going both ways. I'm seeing people trying to step on other people's rights. Nothing in the freedom of speech does it say only if it doesn't offend someone are you allowed to say it. Freedom of speech means just that. It's not a simon says type of thing. This crap about trampling on people's rights is getting out of hand. Lets call it what it is censorship! I see a lot of finger pointing like children. Yet they refuse to look at their own actions. I guess they haven't looked in the mirror lately.

This is all an agenda to remove more and more of people's rights. This is very similar to the play book that Hitler used with the media's help in Germany. That's exactly were it came from! Our media plays its role well. Right on cue too! If they can remove the guns and the rights of every citizen, it makes it easier to move people into concentration camps. Just like Germany!

This is why it feels like we are headed for a Global Revolution! People are sick of this shit! We have emotions, feelings, thoughts and voices. This crap about people's tone, is just another power play. The planets are also pushing buttons right now. This is another reason it feels like we're moving into a Global Revolution. It's definitely bring up that anger energy. All of this crap is about to come to a screeching halt. No one will put up with their rights being constantly gagged or trampled on.

People are starting to tell people off. If your offended, suck it up cupcake. I'm not letting you take away my rights. It's basically coming down to that! After all people will only let people push them so far. Then they start to push back. 911 took away a lot of people's rights with its orchestration by treasonous people. Racism is a two way street. The argument that one person can say it because I'm that race does not hold water. It's a cop out way of saying I'm a racist, but I'm throwing down the race card to make it look like I'm not a racist. So lets really cut the shit!

After the Obama administration stepped in it was like a nod to have a free for all on racism by anyone except for whites. Ads even had it in your face. I'm not saying racism didn't exist before that. It definitely did. This was more deliberate with the one agenda to provoke and divide people and families and communities.This crap of continuing to teach hate is what's disgusting. It's 2018, there is no excuse for this. Oh and the argument that you ancestors were slaves. The reality is that all of us have ancestors that were slaves or indentured servants. Unless you directly come from royalty. We've all come from that. Poverty is poverty, its about rising up from that. It's about bettering our lives and our selves. It's about bettering our minds too. Otherwise what's the point.

The only person's whose opinions matters is our own. Our goals and dreams. I'm not saying its easy either. I sometimes think that other people automatically assume that other people are having an easier time than they are. When we keep focusing on other people instead of looking at our own lives and goals. You need to look ahead and what your trying to accomplish. I see a lot of successful people regardless of race. I also see people of the same race tearing down these people's accomplishments. Like suddenly their not the same race because their successful.

All I see is as an excuse to attack someone and not be accountable for your own life or actions.
I'm not saying that life is fair, it isn't. It has a lot of different landscapes. If we didn't it would be a boring existence. The mindset of people lately is that of a drone. I recently saw five vehicles in the wrong lane going the wrong way towards oncoming traffic. I don't see anyone thinking for themselves. It's like a lot of people are just sleep walking through life.

I recently read some articles about what brought about the American Revolution. As I was reading, I was thinking and saying; so what's different? It sounds just like the current times. I'd say we're very close to another Revolution. After all why not? There have been a lot of other countries that have revolutions lately. In a lot of ways, I don't see adults acting like adults. I see adults acting like children. We need to start thinking for ourselves again. This borg thinking is so oppressive. Some how people think its their personal right to remove other people's rights.

Do You Have Chao In Your Life?

Look at your relationships, work, car and home. Do you have projects of things that are started but were never finished! Pay attention, they have a way of dragging our energy and life force down. They can effect your life in so many ways. Losing money, no energy, forgetfulness, bad relationships. Bad work environment and co-workers. Look around, and see what is broken? Needs repair or just needs to be replaced with something better!

Our life is mirrored in so many ways. When you have a house that is a joy to come home too. Your energy is lighter and more exciting. It feels amazing to see whats around the corner!When you start to fix or repair things in your home, car or relationships. See how things start to turn around. If you've out grown a relationship. It will start to fade and allow for new relationships to come in that are a better match for growth for one or both individuals.

People that have balance in their lives usually have less drama too. Does money seem to hang out with them more? Probably because they always making sure that they are growing and challenging themselves in positive ways. The fastest way to make some of these changes if your not handy is to hire someone that specializes in that type of work. Becareful though, you want someone that puts quality into their work and doesn't bring anger into your home. This is why sometimes the cheapest person for the job isn't the best.

I once had a band new home that was built. The contractors started to get into a pissing match by punching holes into the walls where outles and fixtues were. The electrician and the contractor were getting into it and the house was starting to take on their anger energy. It wasn't good! It can make people living in that house start to have fights! In their self absorbtion, they had forgotten that this was someone's home. It wasn't their personal battle field.

When I've hired people to work on my home. I've found that I start to have some extra visitors. If your contractor suddenly hits the wagon again (means drinking or substance abuse if they were previousl recovering). Usually entities that used to be acholics or drug users when they had a body. Like to hang out with people suffering from those conditions. They will step into their bodies to get that fix.

Can't tell how your house feels. Go to house that is above your means when they are having an open house and pay attention to the feeling you get from it. If the house is brand new it should feel high energy and exciting! Then go back to your house and see if it feels draining? comfortable? Heavy? If it feels draining or heavy. Go through each room and see what state those rooms are in. Are they a mess? Are they needing new paint? Is something broken or half started or not finished? As you finish these projects see how the energy starts to feel. I the rooms don't need repairs, was there an arguement or fight in that room. You might want to burn some incense in there til that feeling finally lightens up.

Your house is your biggest sanctuary. You need to protect it. Clutter can be another energy killer. If you have to store documents because of legal reasons than do it. Are your relationships supportive of who you are or want to become? Relationships that aren't healthy don't help you grow as a person. Are you excited to go to work or not so much? Is it the work or the co-worker? When we start to make changes and clean up messes it trickles into our personal lives.

Next time your stuck! Look  around and see what going on?

The Greatest Stage of All

A lot of people freak out about death. Death is not the enemy. It is just a journey. When you return to your true form which is light. It isn't scary, it's just freeing and love. It allows you to move on to your next starring roll. Many of us souls have been on other planets in different galaxies and universes. It allows us to try out different bodies, cultures and experiences. Very similar to an actor changing clothes for the next scene.

Is the actor or actress freaked out about the clothing change or the next scene? This is how souls grow and learn. We are unlimited potential. This is what is so great about this! We've been many races and genders. This is why, we are drawn to certain histories or cultures. This is why its so baffling as to why someone would want to be stagnant. Your very lives are creation in action. You are constantly writing the script to the next play of your life.

You just have to be awake for it. Instead of constantly sleep walking and playing the victim. That isn't to say that somethings on this planet aren't beyond your control. Some assholes aren't content to just write their own scripts. They want to write other people's too. That isn't their job! This society of hierarchies is bullshit. There are many creatures on this planet that don't have hierarchies. What are we nothing but cattle? Birds might travel in a flock, but there is no king bird saying that control the masses of the birds.

Most of us never see our true potential, because we either just trying to survive or win other people's approval of our very existence. This insanity needs to stop. It's like putting a wheel in a cage with a mouse and the mouse thinking it will reach a destination. Each life is a class room so to speak. It is not this punishment. Although it can sometimes feel like hell on earth. Rebirth is all around you if you take the time to observe. We as a species are evolving into something else at this time. It's like a caterpillar freaking out and being afraid to become a butterfly.

People have been trained to view death as some kind of punishment. This crap comes from the religions of this world. How much more of a control freak could you be. Death is about a destination ending and a new journey beginning. If you start to look at it like that, you will find your life a lot more enjoyable and take back the control that was always yours. That should piss those control freaks off! (Grin!) Yes, I'm evil like that!

Life is to be lived and enjoyed. It is a class room for you to play and explore. It is a creative force all its own. Death is not a punishment and neither is the after life. It's sort of a vacation, to see what you want to explore next.

Feeling Stuck

When is the last time you cleaned you house, car, office? If you can't remember when? You might want to tackle the smaller spaces and then get to the big one the house last. Our life is sometimes reflected in our personal living space.

Look around, what spaces look like a mess? Start there first! Got cob webs then you might want to start to tackle them. When was the last time you cleaned your windows and I'm not talking about what's on your computer. How do your doors look around the house. If any of these areas are in need of cleaning or repair; you might want to give it some attention too. Dust is another indication that you might want to pay attention too. These areas can affect our finances, career or opportunities coming into our life.

If cleaning isn't your thing, because your too busy or too tired from working long hours. You might want to consider hiring a cleaning person at least once a month or more and a company that specializes in deep cleaning. Deep cleaning could be done at least twice a year or quarterly if you can afford it. This is one way to ensure that everything is in better working order.

We usually only start to notice these things when our life starts to go off the rails and into the trash dumpster. Think of this as preventive maintenance. It's sort of like making sure your maintaining your car. If you take care of the little and big things the rest moves along much more smoothly.

These are preventive maintenance for you life in general. It's sort of like looking at what people are you hanging with in work or your personal life. If they're not going in the direction you want to go! Then why are they in your life? Sometimes, it's time to let go of old friends just because they feel comfortable; especially if they're not people you can bounce ideas off of without constant criticism.

When The Universe Is Talking

Think you've got life all figured out. You might be surprised that your still in school and don't even know it. When your life seems to be coming apart at the seems for no reason. Sometimes we think were listening when the Universe is talking and wondering why nothing is moving. Here we've missed all the cues because we've been looking every where else.

When the Universe puts the brakes on your life. You can't help but take notice. The best course of action is to listen carefully and pay attention. Pay attention to how you feel in different situations. Are you stressed, calm, excited. This is also a way to make you take a much needed vacation; when your working too hard. With our busy lives, we've lost touch with ourselves and our environment.

Sometimes its only by stumbling through life that we start to learn the unspoken language of the Universe. Once we become more balanced, these little adventures stop happening. We all need to have play in our lives. It's not just for children. Working constantly with no breaks is one sure way to get the Universe's attention. You might get some warning signs, and having problems with work. When you start to have more balance in all areas of your life, you  will start to see more flow. This doesn't mean that you won't have some curve balls once in a while.

If your starting to get more resentful with your time. That's a sign, that you might want to start to slow down and make more time for yourself. Feeling exhausted, you might want to pick things that are less mentally and physically exhausting. It's not uncommon for the Universe to make sure that you don't have work for three mos. or more. We are all on a journey in our lives. Part of the journey is to be able to enjoy it.

Are You Where You Want To Be In Your Life?

Sometimes it feels like we're in some kind of race to get to this unknown destination in our lives. We're constantly comparing ourselves to someone else or if we're not someone else is doing it for us. The mere measurement of success or lack of it is somehow this imaginary line drawn in the sand. Sometimes its realistic and sometimes an illusion. Not everyone has the same skill sets or drive. Some people can achieve so called success in five years or less. While for others, life happens and it take us longer to get to that same finish line.

Success is an abstract word all on its own. What is success for one person, could be failure to another. We are all raised in different environments. Even the word normal is making some assumptions that might or might not be true for some of us. When we lump ourselves into some of these ridiculous standards we find that those things mean nothing to us at all. Leaving us with bad taste in our mouths. This constant chase can be exhausting, if we're not really looking at whats important to us as individuals. Not everyone values the same things in the same way.

Money on its own can lead a merry chase. Especially if you don't know how much is your exact goal or if its even your goal at all. Everyone assumes that every one's goal is the same but never takes the time to lay down the foundation; of what they want or don't want in their lives. Very few couples even sit down to discuss it. It's like that elephant in the room and no one wants to address it. This leads to more unhappiness in relationships, because everyone assumes that their on the same page with out actually discussing it.

When is the last time you actually sat down and mapped out where you want to be in your life. Have you written down some of your goals or even one? Have you written down the steps and the deadline for yourself? If you previously had mapped it out? Does this still hold appeal for you or have your goals changed? Everyone is entitled to change their mind.

Sometimes it can be a matter of finding the right resources to help you achieve those goals. It can also be a matter of acquiring certain skills to make it happen. Where ever you are in your path. Check in with yourself from time to time to see if it's still your goal or if that goal has changed. We all grow at different paces. As long as we grow and continue to learn that's all that matters sometimes. Some skills can only come from a mentor sometimes. Even failure can be a growth experience. You learn what does and does not work. Even some of the best minds in history had set backs. It is this thirst to learn from our mistakes that can lead to success along the way.
