Your Mirror

The good you find in others, is in you too. The faults you find in others, are your faults as well. The possibilities you see in others,are possible for you as well. The beauty you see around you, is your beauty.To change your world you must change yourself. See the best in others and you will be your best.Give to others, and you give to yourself. Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful. Admire creativity,and you will be creative.Love and you will be loved. Seek to understand, and you will be understood. Listen, and your voice will be heard. Teach, and you will learn.

“…feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we’d rather collapse and back away. They’re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are.”
― Pema Chödrön

Going with the flow doesn’t mean we don’t know where we’re going; rather we are open to other ways of getting there.

 

The expression going with the flow is a metaphor that applies to navigating a river. When we go with the flow, we follow the current of the river rather than push against it. People who go with the flow may be interpreted as lazy or passive, but to truly go with the flow requires awareness, presence, and the ability to blend one’s own energy with the prevailing energy. Going with the flow doesn’t mean we toss our oars into the water and kick back in the boat, hoping for the best. Going with the flow means we let go of our individual agenda and notice the play of energy all around us. We tap into that energy and flow with it, which gets us going where we need to go a whole lot faster than resistance will.

 

Going with the flow doesn’t mean that we don’t know where we’re going; it means that we are open to multiple ways of getting there. We are also open to changing our destination, clinging more to the essence of our goal than to the particulars. We acknowledge that letting go and modifying our plans is part of the process. Going with the flow means that we are aware of an energy that is larger than our small selves and we are open to working with it, not against it.

 

Many of us are afraid of going with the flow because we don’t trust that we will get where we want to go if we do. This causes us to cling to plans that aren’t working, stick to routes that are obstructed, and obsess over relationships that aren’t fulfilling. When you find yourself stuck in these kinds of patterns, do yourself a favor and open to the flow of what is rather than resisting it. Trust that the big river of your life has a plan for you and let it carry you onward. Throw overboard those things that are weighing you down. Be open to revising your maps. Take a deep breath and move into the current.

been a while...........

 

We love talking about our problems. It is our addiction. There's plenty of them and it is easy to find more. It's as if we are wired to see the bad in any given situation; the good, however, is just so much harder to recognize. Why is that?

 

It's nothing more than habit. We aren't wired to see the problem in everything. We have just been doing it for so long, it seems like the most natural thing on earth. Consequently, if we were to start thinking the opposite, in the long run, it would be the other way around.

 

Now, why is this important? Constantly talking about problems and seeing only negativity is basically like slamming the brakes on the road to your dreams. It's like spreading a paralyzing virus. It scares people; it prevents them from moving, from trying out new things and stepping out of their comfort zone.
