This Moment

 

BREATH ... 
Everything is happening exactly as it should be.
~Cheryl Richardson


This Moment

We tend to question life and it's timing. We get restless and want the waiting time to be shorter than it is. We want to get on to the next thing and tend to get frustrated when that doesn't happen in the timing we want it to or even the way in which is unfolds.

Maybe right now though, in this moment, you are exactly where you are supposed to be. Maybe this waiting period is allowing other things to fall into place around you. Maybe the outcome may look different than what you expected but that will be for your highest good. Instead of getting impatient with life, instead of pushing against it or getting frustrated that it's taking so long ... just stop, breathe, and allow yourself to feel the presence and the peaceful energy around you.  And one more thing, and this is the most important piece - practice gratitude. Be grateful for this time because once the door opens, the race will begin all over again.  This is your time to be still, be present, be grateful, and re-energize so you are ready when the moment comes to leap and soar.

Control

 


Control

There are few things in life we actually have any real control over.  Actually, there is only one thing in life we have any real control over and if you guessed right, yes that would be you!  Although we would like to believe we have control over more than just ourselves, the truth of the matter (and something you know at your core) is that we have zero control over anything outside of ourselves.  It's a hard pill to digest at times but once you can fully embrace this, once you stop trying to control everything that swirling around you all the time (kids, spouse, pets, family, friends, colleagues, your boss, etc.) you will find that there is this shift that happens, almost like a stillness and peace, that suddenly grounds you to life. You feel connected more than before. You have more time to concentrate on yourself since you are not filling it up with worrying about or trying to manage others. People are going to people, whether they take your advice or not (and 9 times out of 10 they like to do the opposite of what you suggest anyway).  So you've just spent all this time, worry, and angst over them when you ultimately can't control what they do ... but you can control you. You can control what you allow in your life, what give your time and attention to, who you allow in your circle, etc. How empowering is that! How much time did you just give yourself back? Try it today and see how your day unfolds as you stop managing others and start only managing yourself.
