1. I might look lost, but.....................

   Posted on 12:20pm Monday 10th Jan 2022

   I'm simply finding my way

   And my way is unique to me

   There's a good chance that no-one will understand my way, but you know what - that's ok. I don't need them to understand, because I'm not walking their path, I'm walking my own.

   And it is my intention to continue to walk the road less travelled - there are many benefits to doing this;

      It's never crowded

      At every turn I will be surprised and delighted by new and unexpected experiences

      I have no idea where I'm going so it doesn't actually matter which way I go

      Although I have absolutely no clue what I am looking for, I know when I find it I will instantly           recognize it

   I have learnt on my travels, in the last ten years particularly, that there are no good or bad experiences. There are only experiences and our perception of them. And when we can simply accept every experience for what it really is - a stepping stone to where we are going - then life becomes so much simpler.

   Something which I have realised, which I find really interesting, is that in our humanness we are a lot like the ocean. Sometimes we are the waves lapping gently at the shore, and sometimes we are the raging sea, out on a limb, in the middle of nowhere. Most of the time we are something in between those two extremes.

   Currently, I'm wafting gently by the shore, just allowing whatever comes my way. It won't last, and nor should it - my feeling is that I'm close to breaking into a new cycle. I've grown to recognize these 'cycles' and for the most part I accept them. Not always of course, a new cycle, by it's very definition, brings new, and as yet unexplored experiences, which initially are often terrifying. A period of adaption is required, accepting that I don't know what's happening, but it's ok, I can learn.

2. Be Yourself

   Posted on 2:30pm Sunday 9th Jan 2022

   We are not who we think we are

   We are not what we think we are

   For the most part, with a few exceptions, we are, what we think other people think we are

   We are other peoples opinions of us

   We are what our parents told us to be

   We are what our teachers told us we could/couldn't do

   We are all those ideas that fell by the wayside because we were mocked or ridiculed by the others, for even daring to think that we were different

    

   Well I am here to tell each and every one of you, that you ARE different - you are not just what other people told you to be, you are so much more than that!!

   Every one of us came into this world with our own trail to blaze, we didn't come to ask for permission to be who we really are, we didn't come to seek other people's approval before being ourselves, and we certainly didn't come to get everyones opinion about what suits them best. I mean, can you even imagine - that person wants one thing from you, that person wants something else, and as for that person, you can't jump through enough hoops to please them! So why would you even bother to try, it's impossible, and I might add, extremely confusing. So when you really think about it, instead of trying to please everyone else, the only thing that makes any sense at all, is to please yourself. Yes you'll get judged, but they were judging you anyway, yes you'll be condoned, but they were condoning you anyway. And you know whats really interesting about doing whats right for you, eventually you will get stable in your uniqueness, and people will no longer judge or condone you, because when you start to believe in yourself, other people can only respond to the signal that you are sending out, and they will begin to believe in you too.
