For Reflection Friday (RF) — RF also stands for radio frequency; sending a message to those on the same frequency…
Have I left friends behind? Have I not been there for them when they could have used my help, my presence, my being?
Maybe. If I choose to regret the past. That doesn’t mean that they are any less important. I was simply called somewhere else.
Where was I? Texas, Colorado, Florida, Mississippi, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Iowa, Arizona, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Italy, Ireland… Just to name a few places this boy from Illinois has stepped foot in; no specific order there, just serving others, experiencing life, and/or passing through…
I have been blessed with being able to meet and share life with so many people and places and experiences. Some of them wonderful, others, not so pleasant.
If there is a single regret, it would be that my eyes weren’t open enough to share the love of this human experience that we call life. Yet, understanding and appreciative that I had to experience everything this far to be where I am today.
I forgive myself for being too afraid to participate, for calling myself stupid for acting like an idiot, for being a coward when some needed me the most…
Learn from the past.
Measure my fear by pouring it into a measuring cup; weigh it by placing it on a scale. But you can’t. It doesn’t exist. Fear is just a belief in my imagination.
Boldly take the next step into the fog of an unknown future!
Time is precious. We anxiously can’t wait for something to get here and still marvel at how fast it has flown by.
Sometimes we just need to be present enough to observe.
Sometimes we try too hard to serve everyone we can. We may not see that we are spreading ourselves too thin.
Appreciate those that keep you grounded, connected, and mindful of when you need rest, nourishment, and recharging.
Love those that challenge you to grow. The BS they are feeding you today may just be the fertilizer you need to sprout flowers and fruit tomorrow.
Cherish yourself enough to ferociously protect your boundaries from enslaving yourself to thoughts and beliefs that do not serve you. Yet have the wisdom to recognize that you can become a prisoner to even that.
Crazy — this little planet we are on is simultaneously Heaven and Hell. The only difference is in which position the little switch in your head is currently set to.
Peace, Love, Forgiveness
Appreciate that every day is a new beginning to create miracles.
How might I serve you today?
I may not have the answer, but together we can figure it out.
