Looking to others

Posted on by philipdodson

We look always to others.

They will help me learn, their diet will make me slim, her book will teach me, I can be a success if they help me…and so on.

The thing is we are responsible for our own health, spirituality, learning, growth, expansion, and actions. Sure others can be examples to follow, an inspiration, but it is up to us to be the light and the example, to be responsible for our own soul and helping it to flourish.

If we rely on others, we are effectively becoming possessed by the minds of others and we are allowing ourselves a get-out to avoid making the sacrifices ourselves. We don’t have to show up.

We can choose to take ownership of what we do and it is more purposeful and nourishing to our spirit.

Challenges

Posted on by philipdodson

What comes to challenge us helps to enrich us.

No matter what your path is, there is always something that will come to test us, it is the only way that we expand and grow.

It is easy to be in the moment and present when there is nothing happening, but perhaps when a challenge does occur, how we react and learn is what matters. Staying peaceful, present and conscious is not always easy. However, the more we recognise when we are not, the growth comes and we learn what triggers our mind and our pain bodies. The moment we realise we are becoming the reaction is the moment that we are returning to awareness.

Lastly, we can all afford to be patient with ourselves. Each moment is what matters, not the constant focus on a future goal.
