Security...

"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power."

Alan Cohen

A friend posted this quote for me today... I love quotes! I know in each line there is truth, but when I'm in the midst of the false security it feels real. I love the part of the line, " for in movement there is life," it reminds me of a river and how it flows so effortlessly, flowing through each day, each season, over each obstacle. Clinging to what I know is something I can see, moving towards the unknown are all the things I can't see and for me it's a process of learning to find that adventure and excitement  even in the dark, for "in change there is power."

Your Best...

Always do your Best...

"Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstances, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse and regret."

Don Miguel Ruiz - The Four Agreements

I will try to not take myself to seriously today. I wasn't feeling good yesterday and when I feel like that I tend to give my thoughts way to much focus and power. I start feeling sorry for myself and wishing, hoping things were not as they are, when normally if I feel that and am feeling good, it's easier to give myself a bit of extra loving care. Today I will not listen to the thoughts that are screaming so loudly and "be kind" to myself, and "do my best."

Power...

"They" say, when something happens to you the only thing you can control is how you respond to the situation. So after getting fired ( for the first time in my life), I allowed myself to feel sorry and depressed but then I woke this morning and said, self "he doesn't deserve anymore of your time and I'm taking my power back." I'm moving on!
