Let Your Light Shine Bright

There are times in your life that you feel yourself reacting to all the chaos that is going on around you. Although the situation may have nothing to do with you personally, you find yourself being drawn to other people’s crisis. You may think you are helping them, but it is only creating imbalance in your own life. When you surround yourself with negativity for too long, it’s difficult to see what is happening because you’ve gotten used to living under dark clouds. As difficult as it may be, remove yourself from the situation and acknowledge that you may be doing more harm than good to yourself and others. It may be time to re-evaluate where life has taken you and recognize that you have the power to change your situation. Let the light within you shine as bright as it was meant to be.

Another beautiful day in Kailua…

What Will Your Actions Bring?

Knowing that every action has a consequence makes sense, but it’s frustrating not knowing what the consequences will be. You try to plan your life with the best intentions, knowing that the choices you make will not only impact yourself but others as well. Because not all of your decisions turn out as well as you thought they would, you can only wait to see what happens and live your life with compassion for yourself and others. The consequences of your actions may not be seen for many years, but the ripple that you make in the Universe continues to grow as time goes by. Hopefully, your actions bring you closer to the person you are meant to be. So acknowledge your role in life as you continue on your path and know that you affect your future by the actions that you take today.

The path may not be defined but with determination you can forage ahead…

A Heart Filled With Joy

There is little to say when your heart is filled with joy. You feel compassion and love for everyone. Forgiving those in the past that may have unintentionally hurt you. When your spirit is uplifted you see things from a different perspective. Not that things have changed since yesterday but the way you are feeling, you understand that people on the most part mean well. It’s the fears within them and their pride to keep their secrets hidden that lead to misunderstanding. But for today, you are in a place where you can acknowledge the potential in everyone. So it is with joy in your heart that you pursue your dreams and continue on your journey embracing all that you meet along the way.

What a beautiful day…

When Crying Isn't Enough

Sometimes you cry tears of frustration because life isn’t what you’d thought it would be. You tried to play the games by the rules but found that it wasn’t getting you anywhere. You’re not even sure if you were playing the same games as everyone else. Life was supposed to be simple. As a child you couldn’t wait to be an adult because you would get to do what you wanted to. But here you are and nothing is as it’s supposed to be. And people aren’t always what they present themselves to be. That’s where you learned to play the game of deception, which you still aren’t good at. You’ve found there are those that are very skilled at being someone else. Then there are others like yourself that have difficulty being deceptive because they find it easier to just be themselves. What if everyone refused to play games anymore and were honest about who they are and what they want out of life. What a novel idea to be able to trust others to be who they present themselves to be. It’s time to dry your tears and move on from a place of helplessness. You have the power to create the life that is true to who you are. In that special place there is no room for games only honesty and acceptance of who we are.

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be going back into the water or staying out here…

Revealing Your Fears

Sometimes the scariest thing is acknowledging your fears. Bringing them out into the open some how makes them more real. It’s like having a nightmare and not wanting to talk about it because you want it to just go away. But fears don’t go away. In fact, the more you keep them hidden, the more they creep up on you at the most inconvenient time. Just when you think you have gotten over them, they prevent you from moving forward on your path. In the darkest areas of you mind, they continue to multiple. Ignoring them doesn’t work, so it’s time to bring them out into the open. Acknowledging what you fear may be one of the bravest things you can do. To say out loud “This is what scares me.” and begin to slowly work through them. Overcoming your fears won’t happen overnight, but what will happen is the time you recover from being scared will become shorter. Fear has never been your enemy, but a reflection of your will to survive. You will find that as you uncover more of your fears, you free yourself to become the person you are meant to be.

Dreaming Your Reality

There may be times when you wish for things but hesitate in asking because you feel that they may be unrealistic. It’s something that you can only dream about because it stays hidden within you. It’s difficult to imagine something so dear to your heart can actually become part of your reality. Can you imagine living a life that you have only dreamed about? How different would it be from what you have now? It’s about this time that the fears of being more than who you are begin to creep into your mind. But before you go any further know that dreams are the reality that your spirit sees within you. They weren’t created out of thin air, but from the possibilities that comes from your potential. Dreams and wishes are a part of who you are and what you are meant to be. There is a crippling moment when you let your fears keep you from moving forward but now is the time to release them so you are free to live your dreams and attain all you wish for.

A dream world becomes a reality…

Give Thanks To Your Nurturers

Today give thanks to all who have nurtured and supported you in your efforts. Whether for a lifetime or just for a moment. These are angels here on earth that believe in who you are and what you are doing. Although it may feel at times that you are all alone on your journey, you don’t have to look too far to see that you were always in someone’s thoughts. Sometimes you questioned if you were being supported because some did not agree with you or give you encouraging words. But disagreeing with you doesn’t mean that they did not support who you are. There are times when you need to be challenged in your life, otherwise how would you recognize your weaknesses. These angels who truly care for you will be the very ones who will tell you honestly when you are becoming who you are not meant to be. So today, acknowledge and give thanks to all those who believe in you for they have helped to make you the person you are today.

Remember how unique you are…
