Difficult things.

Sometimes we have to do really difficult things. Stuff that is going to affect other people or not be approved of. We don’t want to. We don’t like unpleasantness. The mind goes round and round. The thoughts go one way and then the other. There must be some way out of the situation without having to do the difficult bit. It’s hard to focus on what we know is the right thing to do. It feels so confusing. To achieve some peace and clarity let the mind thoughts come and go, without attaching too much to them, without thinking more about each one. Breathe deeply and let your awareness of life expand so that you have a fuller picture. Know the truth inside you and trust that.

Happy New Year

It’s a New Year. What will this one be like? It’s unknown, except that you have the power to be in charge of how you face it. You can choose to be a victim of whatever circumstances show up and blame these for how you feel and for not achieving your goals. Or you can choose to stand tall and follow your heart, regardless of the circumstances. You can choose to be the wonderful person that you really are and be the best that you can be. Take some time to be still and inside yourself. Focus on what is important to you in life. Then ask yourself – how can I increase these important things? How can I spend more time on these? Trust your inner wisdom – you will know what is really important for you.
