From Caterpillar to Butterfly

I feel as if I'm reaching a pinnacle moment in my life. I am so young but so very happy with my choices thus far. But, I'm on the verge of something big... I can feel it and it's frustrating because I just want it to happen already! It's inevitable.

I'm not sure the form this big thing is going to take or how it may impact my life. I know I will be tested and it will be one of those moments when you know that the wrong choice will alter your life. I've got to choose wisely when that time comes. I hope I will because of the positive transformation my soul has gone through in the last year.

It's as if for the first time in my life I am alive and living. It's been an awakening. I'm able to look at life with an almost totally objective view.

This blossoming has allowed me to give more of me to myself, my son, my friends and coworkers. Which has in turn allowed me to receive so much more then I expected and it's as if it's compounding. That whole snowball effect of positive things is taking place. If I encourage it and don't do anything to slow it down with bad choices think of how much more I will accomplish in my life with Karma on my side.

I will continue to metamorphosis into a better person every day and with every decision big or small.

How is it?

How is it that people (generally speaking) are full of regrets, embarrassments, sorrows, and a multitude of other negative emotions about their past? I wish that the masses would be able to start letting things go. It's hard to do I know.
But by removing feelings (don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you need to turn into some "void of any emotion" type of person) from the situation and taking the past for what it's worth I am able to not have to cart around this baggage of wretched emotions and allow them to be toxic to my future. You can do the same

I'm working on it daily. I try to look back and say "Okay, what did I learn from that really embarassing situation?", remove the feelings then choosing to apply what I learned.

From my short time on this plant I can comfortably say that the people who carry these feelings around with them are allowing past choices, that were inevitable, to impact their ability to be confident in their choices now. Thus leading to half-hearted attempts at life's great challenges.

*Start to leave the emotions of your past behind you.
*Get on with the future in the best way you know how.
*Do it being confident that you've learned from prior events.
*Apply of the black and white of the lessons you learned from the past.
*Move forward gracefully with no regrets, only more wisdom.

Larger than Life

There are times in a persons life, that are few and far between, when one makes choices that have long lasting effects. Occassionally, we actually recognize them in the moment they're occuring. Other times we realize it afterwards. It takes a moment of clarity when you come up for a breath in the midst of these times and have this epiphany... This moment where you become aware that you are choosing wisely or poorly for yourself. And it feels Larger than Life. Almost suffocating for a second and then you calm yourself and say... Ok, Here we go. Let's see what this chapter of life brings us and how we will grow and evolve from the effects of our choices.
Make sure you take those minutes that hit you at some random 4 o'clock on a Tuesday and run with it. Allow yourselves to reflect on the current point in your long life and where you are right now, how you want to live your life, and what choice you can make right now to accomplish that.  

Reap what we Sow

There is a season to plant.

We can only plant our seeds in broken ground.

Until we've been broken we are unable to plant the seeds of future.

We can only hold them and wonder what they will become.

Don't be afraid of your broken ground, it holds the promise of future.

Change

Sometimes change creates us.

On a daily basis we are surrounded with choices. I've come to the conclusion that there's a difference between choices and decisions though.

A decision is where you have two or more selections and you are required to pick one and only one of them. A choice is where you have two or more selections and you are not required to pick any of them. You CHOOSE one or none of your options.

There are no "right" or "wrong" decisions. Only good or bad choices. Who says it has to be one or the other? Why not a third unexplored option?

The majority of people have been brainwashed to believe that they have decisions to make, where they're required to pick one or the other. I have changed my way of thinking and am making choices as I see fit. Tiny as my choices may be they are mine and are selections I determine are right for me. I hope to help others be able to implement the same in their lives.

I am hopeful that I will be able to shed some light on aspects of daily living. If I only reach one or two people and can aide in freeing them from preconceived notions of what is or will be then I will consider this unleashing of my thoughts beneficial.
