Life Only Happens When You
are Living
Into each life a little rain must fall
but then it stops raining. I am amused by the question of why bad things happen to good people; things
happen to all people but when you are good and well and on your way to a
balanced life, the recovery is so much easier.
Life
happens, but it only happens when you are truly living. A woman once said to me
that it seemed that something was always happening to me. She made this comment
after hearing that one of my children had died. Knowing how fast and exact
karma is, I quickly moved away from her.
If I had not said yes to raising my
daughter, I could have avoided the death of a child. But I would have also
missed out on the love and incredible light that she shared.
We often
look at the challenges in life as if they are
our life. It’s all in the perspective. Things happen and they happen to
everyone; the question is how you will respond.
Today’s post
is a reminder to you to
·
Celebrate
your life
·
Learn
from all lessons
·
Share
what you have learned (experience is the best teacher, so when at all possible,
learn from someone else’s difficult experience.)
·
Look
at the patterns in your life and try to avoid those that keep resulting in pain
·
Do
not rejoice in someone else’s calamity; even if you don’t like them
·
Be
still and remember that nothing lasts always
Be you, be well, be
alive

I agree....
ReplyDeleteHere's what I feel.... "Realizing that LIFE is a Journey where we each receive opportunities to learn lessons and revelations makes the journey even that much more precious."
My daughter is a pediatric cardiac nurse and is currently at a conference where you are speaking. She called and suggested I check out your blog. I just joined. Your post reminded me of a time years ago shortly after my then 43 year old husband had just had a heart attack and then by-pass surgery. I was talking to my therapist at the time about my fear of losing him. She pointed out that I could choose to distance myself and protect myself from the possibility of experiencing the pain of losing him or I could fully embrace the experience. I chose the experience. As we shared our fears we grew closer and our relationship strengthened. I try to choose life even when it hurts. Thanks for you post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this and for joining in. I love the lesson you share and know others will as well. Peace and Grace. Bertice
