No-not the old band "The Doors"....
I'm talking about the times when we keep banging on the door that we want to be opened in our life's path, but it does not come to fruition no matter how hard we work toward it or try to open it. Now if your thinking to yourself "nope, never happened to me, don't know what your talking about" I will call you out on this one! Unless you are very young and basically just getting started with life.....you've been there and experienced this frustration.
Sometimes the door that we 'had' walked through worked out well in the past and we got too comfortable. We set up our comfy recliner, remote in our hands to program how our day will pan out-so we got too relaxed-robotic--stopped mentally growing so to speak. Whether it be work, home or other outside life, you may be feeling a displacement in... take it as a sign; no, take it as a swift kick in the keester that you are worth much more than to just settle -its time to get uncomfortable, spread your wings, challenge yourself.
I believe in divine intervention when we become too complacent with ourselves. We all need security and stableness in our basic lives, absolutely, to a point. But to live mundane? It's for the birds. Sometimes this slap in the face comes out of the blue and it stings. It can cause us unmentionable kinds of drama....if we choose to let it!!!!! (This is key)
If this happens, recognize it for what it is. Step back after a day of screaming and being angry or sad or frustrated or bored as all get out. Take some deep breaths. Stand in the quiet of the day. I believe these upsets are purposeful and predestined for us. This is your chance to make changes. Find a job where your talents are appreciated and you find newness to get your smart juices flowing. Redecorate your home. Look into magazines possibly.....think what makes you smile and feel good-go for that look to live in. Some people are into feng-shui. Maybe you can find some kind of peaceful centeredness in that. Mine centers in growing my faith. To each his own happiness and well-being, right?! Travel, volunteer possibly. Doing for others grows your compassion and gives you a deep peace. Makes you appreciate what you do have yourself. It's an awesome kind of self happiness. ( a good kind, not self-centered type, don't get the two confused)
I myself, am ever-changing. Long ago, I used to bang on the same door trying to make it all work out the way I thought it should. It left me freaked out and sore with rough knuckles! Not very productive....ha! That was in my young days. It took me many trials and error to learn to step back and realize that I had the power to look at it as a positive, an opportunity to my advantage. Stand in my quietness and let the answer come to me. It does, if you have the where-with-all to meditate, pray or just listen in silence. This is when you can step forward with confidence. It becomes an adventure. A new chapter in your book.
A longtime friend of mine had just gone through an upset in her life. Something that she worked hard at and excelled in was broken. She is an amazing spirit, talented in many ways. Always with a smile and laughter and her wisdom she connected with her clients and co-workers. In her personal life, you couldn't find a more lovely person to be around. Still, through this new trial in her life, she stands tall and creative. She is standing quietly, assessing her next moves. She is standing in a grand room with many doors to choose from. I can only imagine the emotions, etc. that were going through her mind - where to persevere....uncertainty- that comes from doubt because we are human, excitement, anxious wonderment, contemplation of paths, gaining of fortitude-not throwing in the towel of defeat! My friend is a strong minded woman and a force to be inspired by.
Id like to think we all have this in us...having fortitude in our souls at some level. I read this posting on the web a while ago and it stuck with me to be true and wise with common sense!
This is my smile I leave with you today. Something to think positive about- to seize your day "Carpe Diem"
Right on!!!
. Be an inspiration to yourself. In doing so you can be an inspiration to others-common sense. It's a free gift ;)
Use it!
Peace out my friends!
