What a fantastic little getaway to huddle together
as a family over the weekend, and celebrate Christmas.
All under one roof.
Afternoon till morning.
Our very own version of a quirky little Hallmark movie.
*love*
During our little road trip, I listened to the audiobook
"Be Water, My Friend.
The teachings of Bruce Lee"
What a great book so far.
"Empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless.
Like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.
You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can crash.
Be water, my friend."
~Bruce Lee~
It started me thinking of my coaching,
and what I've learned about bio-individuality.
And how so very different we all are, and are meant to be.
Yet...we compare, and try to conform to our outer world,
never learning about our own unique selves.
How can we possibly become everything we are meant to be,
if we don't have a clue to who we are?
How can we heal, or be happy with our life...
if we don't have any idea what truly works for us?
Yeah...it's nutty.
Most of us just learn to survive.
That was not a part of God's plan.
I was a slave to my past.
I needed to find my own voice.
I needed to be enough.
My habit of choice, was to try to "fix" everything!
Well...that's not possible.
Just sayin'.
I had to get out the way.
I had to trust myself...
(still working on that. Got to know you, before you can trust you.)
Then as if that's not a big enough challenge...
trust, open up & surrender to a God that I hardly knew...
and, that He's also in you.
It can get confusing.
I'm learning as I go.
Water gave me a good visual to meditate on.
Journaling has been a great tool for me.
It keeps me on track.
Mostly.
I still like to go off road quite a lot.
Some notes from today...
God is leading you along a way that is uniquely right for you.
The closer to Him you grow,
the more fully you become your true self.
Enjoy the adventure of finding yourself
through losing yourself in God.
'Today find out who you really are.
There's a beautiful person within you that has
no need to build your identity around suffering.
Learn to let yourself blossom.
Don't miss any more of the wonderful opportunities
available to you to live, grow, and enjoy.'
There's so much to appreciate in this life.
Don't waste another moment feeling
sorry for yourself.
"...the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on
our disposition & not our circumstances."
~Martha Washington~
be well...
