Learning about me has been an unveiling. Bringing myself face to face with what is a priority for me, I’ve had to reflect on certain aspects of my life.
There’s timing and I’ve pushed myself into things that in retrospect have compromised my health and put undue stress on this vessel. Everywhere I look in my life health is an issue.
I’m realizing that I’ve been somewhat ignoring my own health for a long time to address everyone elses’. Putting everyone else first and forgetting myself has been my thing and now this course is making me bring myself to the forefront.
So now I’m reflecting on what I’ve been doing all of this time. Where am I headed? What’s the path forward? What I think I want is really somebody else’s endeavor. Sorting this out has been interesting.
Navigating this world has certainly been a massive challenge. I don’t think anybody has had it easy. I personally think that gratitude is the navigator. The more thankful I am for everything this is where I’ll be able to see the way through.
Merlin Carouthers wrote about this in his books that I read years ago and it’s really a blessing that one of the focus areas of this course is actually gratefulness. He used it as a catalyst to move through situations to create massive change.
It caused the lessons to appear so the understanding unfolded and then situations magically cleared up and took a different direction. I’ve forgotten how powerful gratitude and thankfulness really are. It’s a true form of giving.
Being thankful for everyone and everything that shows up in each moment of now in spite of how it appears. This has been a great reminder. Living every day as if it is my last with gratefulness is really one of the keys. It really is the answer.
