Stepping Up To The Plate

What happens when you have nothing left? Who do you go to when no one seems to be around? How do you make it another day, pushing forward when you have no push left? How often have you asked yourself these very questions? Wondering where your strength is coming from when you feel like you just have nothing left to give. That strength comes from a source greater than ourselves. It also comes from a place from within and it's a place we often go to when we have nothing and no one else to draw from. It is in our darkest moments that we find our deepest strength. It is when we find out what our greatest fears are, while realizing and understanding our greatest strengths as well.

Life can throw us curveball after curveball and then hit us with a fastball. The only thing that matters is that we step up to the plate each and every time and give it our best swing. No matter if we strike out, get hit with the ball, or get thrown nothing but balls... We must continue to show up each and every time. We cannot continue to be afraid of our own potential and most importantly, we cannot be afraid of life. No one ever said life would be easy, however I guarantee it will be worth it. It will be filled with triumphs and tribulations, abundance and lack, joy and pain, and so many other things and each thing will provide a valuable lesson and a blessing all at the same time.

We must ALL learn how to sit still at times and allow the beauties and plans of life unfold. Often times, we need to sit still so that we can enjoy the fruits of our labor, so that we can hear the message and see the plan. To gain understanding and knowledge. To know what we can change and what we cannot. To understand where we need to improve ourselves and to gain self-awareness. It can also be a time of reflection and to just relax and stop for a second because we may just need to stop and take a breath. Take in the moment in its entirety. Be present in the very moment that you are in and feeling what it truly feels like to be connected and aware beyond just yourself. To be in touch with your spirit and in-tune with Thee Most High is a most Beautiful thing and often times we miss out on it.

Always remember this.... Life is a beautiful nightmare.. Moments that will tear you down while innately building you back up all in the same process. Take the time to Be Grateful and Sit Still long enough to understand what is happening. Life is a journey that we must embrace to the fullest and we must also revel in the good, the bad, and the ugly. No matter what is being thrown at you. You must always step up to the plate. You must always show up and you must always give it your best swing!

Love and Light!

Knowing When To Let Go

Knowing when to let go is so hard for many of us. We tend to hold on to things that no longer serve the greater good in us. We hold on to anger, resentment, regret, and so many other things that can hinder us from being our True Authentic Self. We fail to realize the damage this does to us emotionally, mentally, and even physically. Most times we cause our own suffering because we can not seem to let go.

There are so many reasons why we do not and/or cannot let go. Those reasons can be pride, ego, guilt, and so many other things. Each reason is based upon the individual and how he or she may feel towards a certain person and/or situation. Often times we cannot let go because of the emotional attachments that we hold towards a person, thing, or situation. I believe that this inability to let go is often caused by denial. What I mean by denial is our failure to accept a person and/or situation for what it is or isn't. Denial is often times our greatest enemy because it keeps us from accepting people and/or situations for what they really are. Denial keeps us from a place of acceptance. Accepting what is and what isn't and being able to move forward from that point.

Acceptance for some may be described as weakness. However, perception is everything and how you choose to view things will ultimately determine how you move and or think. Because you accept something, whether you like it or not does not make you weak. It places you in a state of awareness that now enables you to make a decision from your true authentic self. It is like the serenity prayer that you often hear people speak. "God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference."

In life our biggest struggles are with the very things that we cannot change and we waste so much time on those things, that when we finally realize what it is we can change, we are too tired to make the needed changes. This is a cycle that we all must stop because we all have been here at this point. The lesson itself is not in the decision necessarily, but in fact it is in the mistake. Because from that mistake we learn more about ourselves. It is in that moment of self-awareness that we grow and begin to the make the best decisions from our True Authentic Self.

As the saying goes, "Let Go and Let God." We have to learn what battles are meant for us to fight and what battles are meant for us to Let Go and allow a power that which is Greater than ourselves to take the battlefield.

How Do You Exist In Love?

LOVE..... The one thing most of us yearn for, yet it is the very thing many of us run from. Funny how that works. We all want to be loved. We talk about it.. We dream about it... We even fight for it... and ironically enough, when we get it.. We have absolutely no clue what to do with it. We rarely know how to receive it. We struggle with knowing how to give it. We often fall short of nurturing it. And we have an even harder time recognizing it.

LOVE... The very thing we search outside of ourselves for. The very thing that actually exists within us. Settling and resting within our true core. We spend so much time searching for something from someone or something else, when in fact we are our first true source of love. How we love ourselves defines how we view love, how we receive love, and how we give love. Let that sink in for a second. How do you feel when you think about that statement? How do you love on you? How deserving do you truly believe you are of love? Do you even know how to receive love and are you willing to give the very love that you desire? These are all important questions that we must take the time to ask ourselves and to truthfully answer.

We have to be aware of how we ourselves view love, how we define love, and if we believe that we are truly worthy enough of receiving love. We have to speak our love language and in order to do so, we must know what our love language is. We must know how we want to be loved and we must be able to express that to the individuals we want to be loved by that want to love us. We must take judgment out of love and replace it with patience and understanding. We must nurture love because love can take time and within that time love grows and how it grows is determined upon how we nurture it and care for it. Love is not a weapon that we use to get what we want and/or desire. Love is not a bargaining chip to be given away for the gain of something superficial. Love is genuine and pure. Love has no bounds and no limits. Love heals all things and Love is Why and How we Exist.

Now sit back and Feel The Love, Receive The Love, and Give The Love! What we give out we will receive back tenfold. Please know and understand that. Live and Exist in Love and you will attract all that which you heart desires!!

Love and Light!!
