Showing Courage in Our Lives
Is there a common theme to the life lessons you are learning lately? I find that when I’m being taught something important, the message is usually repeated in different situations throughout my life. That way, I’ll pay attention – even if I don’t want to!
This happened recently at a personal development seminar where I was a participant. We were asked to list personal obstacles in our life journeys. Like a reflex, I wrote down ‘COURAGE’ and circled it. Though I didn’t understand why this word mattered to me, I was soon to get inklings.
Participants were asked to discuss the meaning behind what they had written down with others close by. We helped one another; I was shown that my ‘courage’ meant developing the strength to speak my story on a general level.
Finding Joy in Everyday Life
When you think you don’t have anything super exciting to announce or to say, do you stop talking or hide your thoughts?
A friend asked me recently why I wasn’t posting more regularly. While I had been posting, I think what she really meant to ask was: why wasn’t I sharing more of my journey on the blog?
After she brought this up, I found a chance to head to the water and reflect. As you may know, water is my source of inspiration. When I’m looking for guidance, I seek it out.
