Lessons of the Journey

In every attempt of love, and success at any endeavor, we learn.  We become closer to what it is that we want.  Always remind yourself that this attempt has brought you closer to your goal.  Weeding out what not to do.  Always consider your attempts a success for this very reason.  Never give up on your dream.  Readjust, reevaluate, leave yourself open, and try again.

Not trying, may feel like we are protecting ourselves, and by protecting ourselves we may feel like we have won that battle.  The truth is however, that we end up losing the war  – of never having a totally fulfilling life.

So remember – what may seem like a failure, is really a stepping stone, bringing you closer to your perfect life.

Is Happiness – Freedom?

When I think the thoughts of what will make me happy; in a partner, in life, in a job, or in the simplest of things – such as – what do I want to eat, I always come back with – I want freedom to choose.  Freedom to choose to be, to do, to have or to want – anything.  Freedom to be myself.  Not the me that my mother wants me to be, or my father, my children, my neighbor, or my boss.

The more freedom, or at very least, perceived freedom that I have, the happier I perceive myself to be. I am not saying that I need to be totally hedonistic about my life.  I do a lot of self sacrificing for the benefit of others, but it is my freedom and choice to do it.   So in having a perfect life, job or mate, should the number one question be – How much freedom will I have?  Do I get to set my own hours?  Will my opinions or suggestions be heard and considered?  Will I be able to pursue my dream and be supported for it?  Do you have organic food?

Self Love

For the last two years I have been deep in self introspection. Wondering how did I get to this point in my life.  I came to the conclusion that I forgot to dream, and that is where I went wrong.  However, all month I have been writing and thinking about love, and I think, in truth, that is what I always dreamed of – love!  In my fairy-tale, girly, idealistic, fantasy way…I wanted someone to truly love me, and to truly love them. For my heart to be filled with this love. For someone to care about me and take care of me in any way. In my mind, if I had this love, the rest would just work itself out. The problem is that requires someone else to fulfill my dream, and apparently, after this deep introspection, I barely could count on myself – to love me.

Thankfully, I am working on loving myself.  I am nurturing me, and have allowed myself to dream of what my perfect life looks like.  I am letting myself take the steps to get there.  It has been slow, but everyday, I take at least one step, no matter how small, to make my new self love dream come true.

I hope you do the same.
