Living passionately

I accept this life on earth.

What is your first reaction to this statement?
Do you say, "yes, absolutely" or do you feel twinges or resistance, anger or resentment?

How we internalize and flow with life determines how we will respond. We CAN change our response. If our past belief has been that we have had no choice in our reaction to life, then that belief keeps us from happiness and peace. It is so easy to resist parts of our life or past that are unpleasant. The voice in our head can play like a scratched record album, "If only....., If only....., If only...., my life would be different. I would be happy."

Well, everyone has their "story". The difference is whether or not we flow with life and accept all that is or whether we choose to resist and refuse life as it is. We all know of people who have tragic life stories and never give up. They persevere and end up happy and prosperous. We also know of people who have had tragic life stories that envelope them like a steel tomb that leaves them depressed and empty. They give up hope and resist life. They see themselves as victims, martyrs not as strong invincible warriors. What is the difference between these two groups of people. Which have you been? Which one do you want to be?

Think back to a time in grade school or junior high when you were introduced to competing against others. Did you feel confident in yourself? Or did you perceive others as more confident or better than you? Did you think, they will get it, they are more popular than me? Did you think, I can do anything I want. What exactly is it that makes some people "popular"? Does that make them happy? Were you or they just trying to fit in by being what others wanted them to be? Do they also feel they are not as good and have the same fears?

Regardless of what answers you gave to the above questions, the difference is whether there was balance in their life.

If you are creative and energetic, people want to be with you. Your fire element is strong and you consume and create life. If you are grounded and believe that your needs will be met regardless of circumstances, you will not judge your view of yourself upon the circumstances in life. Your earth element is nurturing and sustaining. If you are able to discern when to be strong and when to be flexible, you can easily transform and deflect what happens in life. Then your metal element is malleable allowing you to deflect and not own what is not yours and to flow through events easily. Again perceived by others as strength and positive either way. If it is your habit to take the path of least resistance, you will flow with the river of life and will not keep the unwanted judged "dirt" of life in your mind or body. Your water element will be bubbly, alive, flowing and again, healthy. The wood element is one of the strongest elements which represent our balance. When you are strongly rooted in life believe in yourself, you stand proud and tall like an oak, redwood, willow, or any tree by getting stronger with each passing storm. You will flourish and reach out to others sharing and giving. A healthy wood element is thriving and empowering. Breathe in a deep breath of fresh clean air. The air element with you allows you breathe in the breath of life that comes from the ultimate source of unconditional love and creation. That breath enables each of us to love others. Our actions will represent a spirit of wholeness and love that comes in with each breath. This wholeness, this spark of light that is deep within us is that which keeps us alive. The more we use it the more it radiates and shines for all to see.

The good news is that no matter where you are right now you have it within you to attain that balance. No one can do it for you. Each of us stands alone, as a flickering candle, we can gain strength and resonance when we join with others. Focus on your heart and soul. See a brilliant light shining deep within you. As you breathe in and out see that light getting brighter and brighter. See yourself as accepting and loving life. See yourself as creative and passionate about life. See yourself as grounded and accepting of life on this beautiful planet. See yourself and flexible able to stand strong or bend like the branches of a tree blowing in the wind. See yourself as water flowing gently through life following the path of least resistance or powerfully strong when the need arises to maintain balance. See yourself and a mighty oak deeply rooted in life, strong and loving reaching out to the sky and all other life basking in the beauty of life. See yourself as a spirit of pure love, loving yourself and others free of judgment and divinely inspired and connected to the source of all that is.

I accept this life on earth. I love my life. I love myself.
I accept this life on earth. I love my life. I love myself.
I accept this life on earth. I love my life. I love myself.

Blessings my friends.
Shine brightly. Breathe deeply. Love unconditionally. Live passionately. Be inspiration. Live in spirit with spirit.
