No matter how much you practice #gratitude and manifest #positivity, life has moments that sucks. They can be big. Small. None. It is crucial to acknowledge if you are #depressed, #angry, #bitter or sad. Be real. Because if you acknowledge those emotions, they will come and go. As I have said it before, what pains you now will surely pain you less. If you start with this moment, your heart will know what is right for you.
You can either let go or you can be unwiling to let go. One is peaceful and the other is teaching us how to be peaceful.
I am deeply emotional because I feel intensely. I have never been one shy of crying. Over the past year, I met #impermanence over and over. So many things lost...selling my beautiful home, the departure from corporate life, disengaging from friends afar, disconnecting from someone I planned a future ...loss after loss, one can become brittle. I believe tears are a way to replenish our soul so that you have nothing left but to refill with happiness. Think exponentially. Some human behaviors that seemed acceptable or at least insignificant in the past might now be most unwise. We have no idea when a little change can make a big difference.
It is why we need to be reminded of all the reasons we are special. Those who love us best know our hearts. Acceptance for the person that you are and that they do not wish to change you into someone else. It means they will love you through the worse of times, loving you even when you are not in the mood or too tired to do the things they want to do. They love you when you are down, not just when you are fun to be with. It means that they care enough to nurture what we have and cherish it enough to not let go. It means they think of you. Dream with you. Hope with you. Constantly. When we may be feeling unappreciated at work or in certain friendships or relationships, they put things in perspective.
Just because things are not going so well in one area does not mean that we can not take stock of the joys that exist. Life really is not that serious. We make it hard. The sun rises. The sun sets. We just tend to complicate the process.
Hang out with people who fit your future, not your past. Really surround yourself with good people. People that are good for you, good to you, and good for your soul. Being with loved ones will remind you how treasured you are. It is nice to know you matter. For me, these people reflect the love I give away and the blanket of love that covers me ♥
