Redpoint

When people don't think you can it is because they doubt themselves. Do not let other's doubts hold you back. Take hold. Traverse. Ascend. Then gently reach back and encourage them to climb. Redpoint.

If you are ever to cease worrying about meeting the needs of your children, then you will have to release your parents from any painful disappointments of the past. As you sit within the overwhelming love for your own, realize now, that no matter what you grew up in, your parents did as they could with the capability they had at the time. Let the cycle end with you. Allow for your own failure at times so that your children will be able to allow for theirs. Let loving be more important than perfection and let forgiveness become an active conduit in serving the two.

I don't believe in such a thing as rejection. Life shifts. Relationships shift. Needs shift as awareness awakens. Growth is unstoppable no matter whether we embrace it or try to deny and bypass all. And although there can be boundaries set, there Is only ever Love if we remember to live by truth while exercising patience and forgiveness.

If there is rejection, it comes from the self-perception of the one who hasn't quite understood what it is to exist in the perfect light of Self and now. Every chapter brings with it the rewards of wisdom so profound that it only every multiplies our capacity for compassion and acceptance.

It's limitless surrender to the possibilities that would.

I was thinking about how the dips and turns of circumstance can pile up like discarded history books that collect, one after another, until they weigh down the backpack of life. Shoulders hunched, aching from the enormous strain and responsibility. And every event thereafter, no matter what positive new direction it seeks, reacts from the contents and burden of familiar history first.

In the matter of friends, partners, family - the rifts that have long been resolved, no matter what, retain a small thread of negativity. And even though we think that we have released the history because we feel loving, trusting and free from the miscommunication or trials of yesterday, I submit that we really haven't. No, we still carry some of it around. Residual, but there all the same. Consider this:
 

The link that reveals itself is so subtle in manner we're not even aware of the bondage. It is when we are in a like scenario from one of history past, that our response, although void of suspect negativity, remembers stamina. Endurance remembers history no matter what, especially history that was of enormous challenge. And once we feel the labor of endurance, then we have allowed discarded air back into our path and have closed off the opportunity to experience fresh oxygen.

We then cannot see current issue with fresh eyesight.

Take those who fall into depression, struggle with career, or a person with a disability. They reach, they conquer, they continue. Another hurdle presents itself. They reach, they conquer, they continue. And so on until by the time the scenario has addressed itself multiple times, the relativity of mental exhaustion amplifies in like manner.

Mental exhaustion translates to endurance. Endurance translates into the inability to see clear space with unguarded eyes. And oh, isn't that subtle?

Indeed.

But there are lessons to be learned as well. Often the things we revisit the most happen because our behaviors and attitudes haven't changed entirely in a complete paradigm shift and thus invite the same. And we have to ask ourselves whether we truly want to move on and leave the cumbersome volumes to the archives. We must not want to accept "endurance" as an inevitable literary series as a prologue to each study session in life.

No, we must want to shift entirely and leave the past where it lies, deny endurance its position and become friends with perspicuity. Clean.

To embalm means to preserve, and yet when we seek shelter for too long, we run the risk and danger of trading healing powers of solace for sunless patterns of loneliness and rot. Knowing the definitive line of danger is key to reaping the power of original intention and emerging fully into uninhibited freedom.

Secrets

The concept of having does not impress me, but Being seeps into my soul and takes full possession. Be that you might have, and you will possess so much more than you thought were worth. Definitions of importance.

Dedicated to the man who fills me every day and makes this life so complete. There is no other measure of a man or a relationship than one of 100 percent give and take, nurturing and nourishment. I am floored daily by what you know inside of me and how much you meet my needs so tenderly, solidly and stalwartly. I feel loved, safe, joyful, free - everything all at once. I love you, Culhain. All I want is you and this beautiful family. Let the world fall away.

Self perception can easily be skewed since often we lose its meaning and seek outside validation. Some of us can go for years living under the barometer of someone else's opinion. But know this: any negative opinion is not truth but a refraction of another's broken places.

How freeing it is to finally rediscover the original definition. Self perception is our own, from us and in us. And there it remains, strengthened only by the unfailing pursuit of living our own Truth.    

So Fly. Soar up and through all limitations and make Life yours.
