What I have noticed lately, is that things don't always seem to happen for the reasons we think, and that can be perfect for us. I started several projects in the last few weeks, that did not work out the way I thought they would, or the way I wanted them to, thank God.
Because they did not work out, space was created for something much better to come into my life. And so, I was able to better understand, that it is not always about the end result of a choice or a project, but how taking that step to go for it in the first place, makes you feel.
What is important, is that you take some inspired action, because your vibration while you are doing something that excites you, and you are passionate about, is what will bring you the essence of what you wanted in the first place. It just may not come from where you thought it would. What is so freeing about all of this, is that it removes a lot of the fear around moving forward, fear that you may fail, be disappointed again, or even embarrassed. It gives you the courage to just step up to the plate and go for it, no matter what the outcome.
If you are feeling stuck, and afraid to take the next step, or any step for that matter, you will never achieve the life of your dreams. Life is not always about being comfortable. It is about moving forward, out of your comfort zone.
And the interesting thing about it is, that the more steps you take, the stronger and more confident you feel inside, where it really matter, sand pretty soon you begin to realize that there truly is nothing that you cannot do, that anything is possible, just as long as you keep on dancing.
" You Are Unique "
You are unique, with your own special beauty and value to give to life. What a terrible shame it would be if you were to let that beauty be hidden behind your fears.
When you worry that you're not good enough, you allow others to control you, and their domination will soon make you miserable. Or when you fool yourself into thinking you're superior to everyone else, you deny yourself the exquisite joy of offering your own special gifts to life.
It takes courage and faith, effort and initiative to be who you are. And it is so very much worth the effort.
Though no one else can do it for you, you have what it takes to be magnificently successful at being you. From the deepest secrets of your soul to the face you put forward to the world, every bit of you is meant to be the authentic and original person you are.
Listen to that quiet, persistent voice inside that you know is always right. This is your opportunity to fulfill and express the real and lasting joy of being you.
Let the beautiful person inside of you come more fully to life as each moment passes. Let yourself, and the world around you, know the joy and fulfillment that is meant just for you to express.
BEAVER MEDICINE
The beaver is a tremendously complex, yet simple totem - Complex because their abilities and talents are many, and simple because most qualities of the beaver can be emulated by humans. They are master architects and are among the few animals on earth, that alter their environment to meet their requirements.
As an expert builder, beaver medicine strengthens the foundations of ones life and can help to build new ones. Beaver can show us ways to be in harmony with our environment even as that environment changes.
The beaver is an excellent swimmer, able to hold its breath under water for 15 minutes or more. As a water creature the beaver spirit is deep within where dreams past and knowledge flow in the subconscious warehouse of our mind. This medicine can help us to call those inner waters to the surface where they can be used to build a better life.
The beaver's fur is highly prized because it is both waterproof and soft, teaching us to repel afflictions of life in a good way.
The beaver is practical, quick-witted and resourceful. All these qualities are brought forward and understood while working with the beaver spirit.
The beaver's large teeth are among its most prized possessions and they continue to grow until the moment of death. This prominent feature of the beaver is a reminder that the tools we use to improve our lives must continually honed and sharpened.
Beavers are very industrious, hard working, and tenacious in what ever project they undertake. People who work with his spirit are reminded to work hard to achieve their goals and they will never be defeated by a lack of initiative. If you feel overcome or overwhelmed by life's challenges, ask the beaver for help.

"A Wolf's Lullaby "
Looking through my opened window
Unable to sleep at all
I hear a wolf's cry
Full of sadness and pain
At the sound of it I start to cry
Running into the forest with only my pjs
I follow the trails of wolves
Looking for wounded soul that cried
Finding the wounded animal
Knowing it's about to die
I get on my knees and craddle it's head
Singing a wolf's lullaby
Several years later unable to sleep again
I hear the sound of wolves crying
Full of happiness and rejoice
I fall asleep at the sound of a wolf's lullaby
" Wolf Fight From An Ancient Legend "
There is a story told among the Cherokee
A grandfather relates to his grandson
Of the battle that happens inside of you and me
And the way in which it can be won.
Two wolves are fighting inside us all
And they fight until they can fight no more.
To the battle we are all held in thrall
We are both the prize and the source of the war.
The first is Evil, made from anger and greed,
Sorrow, regret, arrogance and false pride
With ego and self pity, resentment and need
And all of the foolishness man has inside.
The second is Good, it is joy, faith and love
Hope, humility, kindness and peace.
It is benevolence, serenity, the gifts from above
The humility to cherish the least.
But which wolf wins, the boys asks the man
Which one will ultimately succeed?
The choice is yours, if you do what you can
The winner is the wolf that you feed.
When we stop to think, we realize
That at one time our main teaching was to be Honorable
And just and compassionate. And now, most
Of our entertainment is watching someone bring
Down someone with a degree of innocence.
We are free to hiss and boo what we see
And hear, but how many admire such a gift of
Treachery? What would it be like to manipulate and
Generally ruin other people's lives for pure
Entertainment?
Who can we really trust or rely on? We can
Begin with ourselves. By weeding out past
Experience and by forgiving ourselves, we can be someone
That can be trusted. It is a beginning--and a
Responsibility.
Have a very good afternoon.MySpace Comments - MySpace Layouts - Photobucket
