Soulbyte for Friday August 30, 2019

When something ends it signals the beginning of something new, a change about to happen, a new phase about to begin. An ending is a new springboard, an offering of a next step, the next fork in the road. Look forward to endings as much as you look forward to beginnings because they are as full of hope and promise, pointing the way to something new. Revel in the mysteries of life as much as you do the clarities, for in the mysteries lie the lessons, the discoveries, the roads to enlightenment. Allow yourself to bask in the freedom of change, for isn’t that what life is really all about, change? See each day for what it is, the next new step on your journey through life, pointing you toward your next answer, your next big awakening; another opportunity to do things differently. May love and kindness both follow you and guide you always, on each new step of your journey.

Sending you love,

Without blame or shame, come to terms with all that you are. Accept your part in all that has befallen you, in all that you chose and choose, in all that was and all that will be. Take responsibility for your life. Things happen for a reason. Try to find the reason. What are you supposed to learn? What in this life is meaningful, meant to help you grow and evolve? What are you supposed to resolve once and for all? No matter what happens or has happened to you, find your part in it and discover its meaning so that rather than stay stuck in a cycle of blame and shame you may move out of that cycle onto a path of meaning and heart. Why are you there? Where are you going? Only you will know for sure. Only you can live your life to the fullest. Only you can find your fulfillment. Travel onward with an open heart and an open mind, for truly you deserve to grant yourself the opportunity to find your path of heart, freed of the cycle of blame and shame, but, oh, so much more too!

Sending you love,

Like ocean waves lapping the shores, like the tides ebbing and flowing, accept that change is inevitable, and yet accept also your own part in enacting change in your life. The human being, unlike nature, has a stubborn streak, an ability to hold back, to remain adherent to old ways, despite all encouragements to change, even though bad things occur, even death. Learn to go with the flow. Allow for new ideas; let in different perspectives; permit new thoughts to change your perception of life and how you do things. Without fear, try something new, experience something unusual, think a different thought. It might just be the very thing you’ve been missing, the very thing to set you free. Perhaps you’ll even finally find your path of heart because you dared yourself to change, despite all the inner warning bells set off by fear and old ideas. But in the end, in giving up control, you might just find something you never dreamed of, and like the ocean you will flow into new territories, just waiting to be explored. Is it finally time to go with the flow?

Sending you love,

Soulbyte for Thursday August 22, 2019

Take each day as it comes. Accept the gifts that ride in on the energy of a new day, the new intentions, new decisions, new determinations, and without judgment of what came before begin anew. There is no shame in having lived one kind of life and then switching to another. It’s okay to change, to decide that you’ve had enough of one way and to start fresh with another way. There’s no time like the present to start anew. The past is over, the future is yet to come, but now, in the present, is the moment of action and decision. Is today the day to make that longed for change?

Sending you love,

What are you waiting for? How many times are you going to keep telling yourself the same old lies? When are you going to stand up to the old ways and say no? You make think you have things right, but that may not be true. Question your assumptions. Maybe you never got yourself right to begin with. Maybe the path you’ve been pursuing isn’t the right path after all. Take another look from a different perspective. Be vulnerable, and open yourself to another viewpoint, another possibility, another answer. There’s no time like now to make a change. Dare yourself to turn in a new direction, be open, and see what happens. Drop your fear, for that is your greatest crutch, and trust that something good will happen now, for there is plenty of good going around. Why not tap into it and allow yourself a taste of it? Let goodness reign within yourself, even as you wish it to be a fact of life outside of yourself. As you wish goodness for others, wish it for yourself. The idea is not that farfetched. Make a wish, set an intent, be open, and see what happens. Nothing is certain, but you can certainly give it a try!
