MONDAY - AUGUST 23, 2010

So life isn't easy! Is it supposed to be easy and carefree. Is someone else's life so much better than yours. So much so that you would be willing to leave your so called miserable life for some unknown but presumably better one?

What a great question to start the week off! We often see our lives as a collection of unrelated events, chapters in a book without a common thread. Is this you, are you the only one out there in life who is untethered to a memory, or is missing the link or connection to someone or something. Not likely, although you may think you are. Wandering around through time and space without a clue as to your purpose or worse, without any idea of who you really are or where you come from.

Sounds a bit scary huh? Well it need not be, in fact your so-called purposeless life is so much more than you can even imagine, of course it is or you wouldn't feel so abandoned. Is that the right word, abandoned. I though so. We often feel so alone, so alone that is is actually so smothering that we can't even breathe. So alone that the where there was even a glimmer of light,, is now virtual blackness. Though it sounds bleak, there is hope, so much hope if you will only turn the page of your story book, walk that extra few feet, seek out that one best friend you have avoided most of your life, a life filled with so much promise, only so see it dashed on the rocks of desperation and lost opportunity.

Some of us never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. ( not my words, actually Abba Eban). In any case, it is time to awaken from your stupor, time to shake off the sands of depression and wake up to the life you were meant to have. A life full of joy, love and unimaginable happiness. A life to full, that there is just no room for that old, suffocating and unrelenting life of fear you have lived your whole life. A life so colorful and bright that it would take a canvas the size of our planet Earth to hold all the joy you now possess.

So now that you know ( you always knew), what you need to see, do and accomplish, go and do it. Shake off the old obsessions that have shackled you your whole life. I don't care what your excused were or are, it is over. You no longer have an excuse for living under a rock of desperation, fear and self-loathing. Here is your passport to that life which you have always seen for yourself. That life that has no room for sadness, fear and loneliness. You will moments of being alone, but you don't have to be lonely. You may have had your heart broken, but it doesn't mean you are a broken and shattered soul. Come on, what do you really want? You know it is up to you, it always has been. I don't care who or what you have been listening to. Actually it has always been up to you en though you may not have thought you had the power to break those negative bonds).

So for today and the days ahead, make a conscience decision to listen to your better voice. You have this choice, listen to that loud, nasty and negative darkness, or listen to the soft, whispering lightness that is barely a breath. A voice to light, and yet it pierces your soul to open you to that goodness and joy you want, but deny yourself. So in the last analysis, you decide what and where you will be. So what it is? Where will you be 24 hours from now?

Choose joy, choose joy over sorrow, happiness over sadness and abundance over lack. It is all up to you, it is your responsibility, respond with ability.
