Self Growth

Inspiration for personal growth and happy living.

Something wonderful is about to happen…

 

WonderfulGood morning friends! Just wanted to share with you this quote from the one and only Dr. Wayne Dyer.  I have read many of his books and I am a huge fan of his work and teachings.  Always believing that something wonderful is about to happen is something I try to practice on a daily basis, especially when things are not going the way I want. Doing this fills me with peace and at the same time excitement, which in turn ignites the strength and power that is already in me.  It gives me the energy to continue moving forward, even through my most challenging times. We always go through ups and downs.  It is part of this experience we call life.  If everything was perfect then there wouldn’t be opportunities for personal growth or simply be better.  I have personally been through many challenging experiences in my life, one in particular being extremely hard and painful.  This experience was specifically related to my very own daughter’s health, life and wellbeing. I still remember going through it and telling myself: “There is no way you will be be able to survive this!” I felt defeated both, physically and emotionally.    Even through those difficult moments where at times the emotional pain became stronger than my own desire to live I found, within myself, the strength to look above and beyond everything that was going on and chose to believe that something wonderful was about to happen.  It became my mantra and part of my daily prayers.  Now, a couple years later, it still remains part of  my daily thoughts and practices; however, I later learned that when you say it, either in your mind or out loud, you have to add the emotion that comes with the knowing that what you want is already in your life.  Love and blessings to you all.  Sincerely, Ms. Jeannie:-)

Self awareness…

 

medi3I still remember the day that I first became aware of the space in between my thoughts and emotions. It felt like, if all of a sudden I got disconnected from everything else around me. I will admit that at first, it felt different and very uncomfortable, at least in my mind it did. I was so used to living life always thinking, looking outwards and suddenly everything around me just stopped moving. I began experiencing life as an observer rather than being in it myself. It took me a while to learn and realize that what I had just experienced was the beginning of a new chapter in my life; the beginning of a true relationship with myself, with life, with GOD. Like I said, it wasn’t a comfortable feeling at first but once I realized the truth and let go of the uneasiness the experience gave me, it felt like I had finally just found “home”. I then decided to continue practicing and embracing this “self awareness” experience through meditation and by just being alone and still. And when life gets challenging and busy and I fall back to my old unconscious self, which happens quite often:-), I remind myself to slow down, relax and re-connect with “that space”; the place where I find peace, regain balance and become one with all that is, the place where I find true love. I really hope you all enjoy this post as the inspiration came from a very personal and intimate place in my heart:-). Have a wonderful week my friends! Blessings to you all, Ms. Jeannie:-)
