If I never learned to to do things differently - how can I expect things to be different?
I am a product of so many people, their emotions and events. I have allowed myself to be molded and now I may be moldy - because who I thought I was, and who I am are really at opposite ends of the pole.
I would hazard a guess that, I am not unique in this matter - maybe it has something to do with: being a female; being part of a religion; being educated as a professional; being a wife; and just being alive in 2010 among 1000 other things!
I am happy to be who I am discovering each day - not just responding or reacting to the world around me. I am feeling a little of that freedom - of being able to just be. What an enormous weight is lifted. My husband remarked how all the news reports which are daily bombarding our brains are no longer scary for him, because they no longer effect our lives as they have for the past five years.
“When I'm trusting and being myself as fully as possible, everything in my life reflects this by falling into place easily, often miraculously.”
I have felt this before and now that I have time to actually feel and not merely have it bounce off me - I can realize and accept it without reservation.
I have much to do today! It is all worth trying at least once!
