One of Life's Challenges

There have been so many times that I have felt 'lost', unsure what to do with myself or where my life was leading me... I have felt this during both good and more difficult times in life and have wandered about as if in darkness stumbling from one thing to another, frightened to let go of any part, in case I felt even more 'lost'.

For much of my life, I have busied myself to the extent that I have rarely even taken a moment to sit back, to think and simply consider the endless opportunities that there are out there for me. In truth, I was scared and became apathetic to the life which I was leading, drifting on as the years passed by.
For me, It has taken a significant event to happen in my life which has made me stop and reflect and although at times it has been difficult, it has been a period of renewal and growth, which has given me much internal peace and happiness. It has not been an easy process and it has forced me to accept change which is always difficult - well for me anyway, as I am such a creature of habit!

Life is for living... what more can I say? We only get one, so we had best make the best of it and not waste what the world has to offer. I truly believe that each and everyone of us has a purpose in life, the challenge is to find that purpose and if brave enough, to follow it. If we are able to do this, we will find much treasure, in the form of internal peace and happiness which we all crave and the futility of searching for something external will cease.

There are so many obstacles in life which can stop us in our tracks or even 'de rail us', such as illness, death, changes in personal circumstances, the list is endless and it is at these times I have found that it is essential to take stock, listen to our internal voice / gut and to push forwards. It is so very easy to resign ourselves to negative influences or circumstances which is the real enemy to 'self', as it stops us from progressing in life to finding that one thing which we all want - Happiness :-) x

The freedom that comes from 'Letting Go'....

Life changes so quickly and at times it feels as if it is out of my control.... People I meet, life experiences that I have, all play a part in the bigger picture of who I am and what I will become... Sometimes you just need to let go and trust that you're destiny will lead you to where you are meant to be. Having faith in God and humanity should be enough, but it is pretty scary at the pace of change that is happening and yet very weirdly - exciting.... For me, I think it is all about 'letting go' and allowing what will be. It's not a good time to be a control freak and although the lack of control is rather frightening, it is exhilarating at the same time. The deep sense of freedom that I feel right now is overwhelming and that in itself is a great blessing which in turn gives a sense of deep internal peace.

I know that I usually tend to over complicate things in life and being a natural over thinker does at times hinder my progress, but this is a time of transformation and renewal for me... The start of an epic journey to the very core of who I really am... I just wish I could share this with you all :-) x

Leaving the Comfort Zone...

No one said that life would be easy.... we are not born with an instruction manual, more's the pity... There will be times in life when we are faced with huge mountains to climb which at the time may feel insurmountable, but in truth, they are simply paths which lead to change.

Why is it that the majority of us fear change so much? Is it because we become so  entrenched in our comfort zone and blaze e  in life, that we are afraid of the unknown in case we upset the status quo, or is it because we are afraid of losing the familiarity that surrounds the life that we have built?

Change gives each and everyone of us, an opportunity to grow and to experience new possibilities in life. We remain masters of our own destiny, even if change is forced upon us.

Change does not necessarily mean the end of something, it can simply be a new chapter in life which allows endless opportunities and experiences if only we are brave enough to take that first step into the unknown...
