It’s Your Life – Lead Or Be Led
If you always act as if you don’t know what to do, don’t know how to do it, don’t know where you’re going or don’t know how to get there others will be happy to tell you. But then, in what dream or life will you land?
You know what you want. You’ll be shown what to do. Decide where to go. You’ll be given guidance to arrive safely. Choose. If you make a mistake, or end up slightly or even completely off-course, learn from that and choose again: make the same choice with a few tweaks or make a different choice altogether. It’s okay.
Trust LIFE and yourself. It’s your life. Lead it mistakes and all, or be led unhappily into living someone else’s dreams for you, instead of your own. No one can tell you who you should be.
Handcuffing Ourselves
I’m realizing more and more that the cages I find myself in are all of my own construction. I can be paralyzed with fear or sabotage my success.
The great thing about these cages and handcuffs is that I have the key.
It’s time to unlock them and get rid of them. I have no use for them anymore.
Discipline Before Freedom
So often (especially folks with a history of abuse, pain, mistrust, oppression or abandonment), rebel against authority and structure of any kind, due to fear and mistrust.
The people who transcend that space and FLY submit themselves. Not to the “authority” itself, but to wisdom, knowledge and knowing that in order to teach, one must first learn. At least, that’s been my experience. When we think we know it all and are not open to instruction, we’re on a path to self-destruction.
Musings on Rebellion and Discipline
While I’m more structured and value rituals and discipline, I’ve too often been on the other end of the spectrum.
When you are raised around fearful an negative people, the words you hear most often are; “no” an “can’t”. As a result I was pretty rebellious. Not in the violent traditional sense, but I ended up with a general disrespect and dislike and disdain for ANY type of authority. If I l perceived in ANY way that someone was trying to hold me back or down, I was FIERCELY defiant. It took a while, and a healthy relationship with G O D to help me understand that discipline wasn’t the enemy. FEAR is.
Tantrums = Terror
Temper Tantrums and a Tempestuous Nature are SURE signs of a person living a terrified life…
