Stories we tell ourselves

We tell ourselves stories every single day. Mine sounds like this "I'm not good enough" or "I'm not worthy."

It took me a long time to have awareness of these stories. But now that I do, I realize when its happening and then I can stop. Just stop! I choose to stop telling myself the story and instead tell myself the truth.

Once I know the truth, I can tell myself a new story. It sounds like this "I am worthy!" and "I have valuable experience and skills to offer."

With all stories, the more we hear them, the more we start to believe them. So why not choose a better story?

Letting people struggle

I know it sounds bad but its so true. You need to let people struggle so they can find their own power. If you dont you handicap them. An example is alcoholics. If you have someone you love who drinks, there is nothing you can do but love them. You cant change them and you cant make them stop drinking. You can let them struggle until they find their own willpower and desire to change. Its the best thing you can do for them.

I speak from personal experience.

Every investment you make in yourself, is an investment for the world!

Life's surprises

Life surprises us by leading us on paths we didn't know we were going to travel. I find hope in those surprises.

Breathing in...

Following the Breath By Thich Nhat Hanh

Breathing in, I calm my body.
Breathing out, I smile.
Dwelling in the present moment,
I know this is a wonderful moment!
Breathing in, I know I’m breathing in.
Breathing out, I know
as the in-breath grows deep,
the out-breath grows slow.
Breathing in makes me calm.
Breathing out brings me ease.
With the in-breath, I smile.
With the out breath, I release.
Breathing in, there is only the present moment.
Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment.
