Notes to Myself - 11

There are no successes or failures....only choices. There is a need to look at 'success' or 'failure' only when there is a need to control an outcome of a choice. And a need to control the learning that happens so naturally from those choices. In our oft-impelling need to understand this 'mysterious' learning, gain control over it and nail it in a coffin, are we looking for a structure or a pedagogy, where there is nothing but a joyous celebration of all of life?

******************

The space where I 'long to be' is where I truly 'belong'.

******************

Somewhere beyond the fields of right and wrong, judgement and opinion, beliefs and non-beliefs, pedestal and pedestrian, silence and noise, poetry and prose, pride and prejudice, is a place where I long to be...

******************

Love yourself enough to be true to yourself.
Trust yourself enough to know that you can handle it.
Love life enough to share your truth with others.
Trust life enough to know that they can handle it.

*******************

Life is about learning when and how to get out of cycles and patterns that no longer serve you or your higher purpose.....when to stay away and when to stay with, when to stand up for yourself and when to stand up for others...and life constantly keeps you on your toes to figure this out :)

*******************

My learning today: When something that happens outside disturbs me, it is a clue to know where to look even deeper......to look within, not without...to love that part of me which is crying for attention and love.

*******************

True giving is not about 'giving' of oneself, but about 'being' oneself....it is not about 'giving' to fill a hole or an emptiness inside you or the other; it is about giving because you are so complete (even with your many holes) that you neither have to 'take' nor 'give'. You just have to simply BE. And let Life use you the way she wants to.
