Food For Thought: The Battles are the Lessons

Sometimes we hold our hearts behind a shield of our own making. For some of us have been through many battles. The battles are the lessons that are oft hard won, and sometimes lost. Yet, we rise with tenacity of a seasoned warrior, for we know there are miracles waiting for us in the smallest of coincidences.

Life wears us down sometimes and we become weary from the battles. The older we get, sometimes the harder it seems to be to bounce back and come out fighting again…

Sometimes we hold our hearts behind a shield of our own making. For some of us have been through many battles. The battles are the lessons that are oft hard won, and sometimes lost. Yet, we rise with tenacity of a seasoned warrior, for we know there are miracles waiting for us in the smallest of coincidences.

Don’t let your shield thwart your own happiness.

Daily Affirmations: Troubled Times

In troubled times, when questions over power reason, I re-mind myself that I must strengthen my resolve and give myself to faith. For I know and understand, that faith and love together create miracles. Today, I take the time to be gentle with myself and allow myself the time to grow my strength and my resolve with patience and compassion. I honor all that has been lost and I open space for all that will be gained in its place. For life is cyclical and I know that I can only rest in troubled times for a short time before I must take action and move forward. ~ Namaste… Pamela

Quote of the Day: Pema Chodron

“Being fully present isn’t something that happens once and then you have achieved it; it’s being awake to the ebb and flow and movement and creation of life, being alive to the process of life itself. That also has its softness. If there were a goal that you were supposed to achieve, such as “no thoughts,” that wouldn’t be very soft. You’d have to struggle a lot to get rid of all those thoughts, and you probably couldn’t do it anyway. The fact that there is no goal also adds to the softness.” ~ Pema Chodron

Daily Affirmations: To Be Empowered

got it

To be empowered, I re-mind myself that I am the person responsible for my life and all the extraneous things that happened in my life in the past that caused me pain, are past. I can change the way I look at the past by offering forgiveness to those I perceive have done me wrong. I can ask for healing to change my view of the past. And if, sometimes, as life would happen, things come up in the present to remind me of the past and dredge up my sad and hurtful feelings of the past, I can take some time to examine why these issues still cause me pain and work towards understanding and releasing that pain. In that I will find that “got it” moment when things are clear and I can let go. Namaste… Pamela
