I was blind, but now I see…
That there are times in life in which we feel weak. We sit in empty spaces, overwhelmed by our thoughts… we are “filled” with a deep void inside…
There is so much going on around us and life is flowing down its course! Do you find yourselves just looking at her?! I know I do! From time to time, we tend to be the spectators of our own “play”. We rush things, checking them off our to-do lists, just so we can fuel our pride. We manage to succeed in doing another one of our tasks and so another night has come! What will we be doing tomorrow?! … The same as today … and yesterday, slightly different of course!
This month has been hectic and, even if I tried my best to keep up with my tasks and schedule them properly, I feel like I couldn’t plan my time in an efficient way. These days I felt overwhelmed and frustrated for skipping some of my habits, for doing things hastily and rushing myself to check off every task I have on my to-do lists . This is why today I chose to take a step back and just make things happen in a calm way. No rushing, no stressing myself about what I have to do, just doing – what I can in the time that I have! When I felt like stressing over things again, I would look at the sky and admire the trees. There is beauty everywhere within our sight! We just have to be willing to perceive it!
Deep down, I feel like the soul is just another flower! If you water it enough with passion, love, beauty, and faith it will flourish inside your body! The void will no longer have enough space to occupy and unknowingly it will disappear. We would feel as light as a feather, but still strong as a diamond and our eyes will be able to see the beauty in every single part of the world! Every face, every building, every object will stand out and make us bloom!
May my soul bloom in love for all existence. (Rudolf Steiner)
“Practice listening to your intuition, your inner voice; ask questions; be curious; see what you see; hear what you hear; then act upon what you know to be true. These intuitive powers were given to your soul at birth.” (Clarissa Pinkola Estés)
She was tired of keeping secrets. She just wanted to show everyone her most authentic self! Face to face with old beliefs and patterns, it’s hard to build enough courage to embrace radical honesty. Dianne knew better than anyone that wearing a mask isn’t the easiest thing to do. It weighs one down and it also lowers one’s vibration! But there was still Time for her! Layer by layer, mask by mask, taking one step at a time, it will all fade away!
It would shatter into tiny pieces like a broken mirror, while nature will bloom inside the gates of her soul! First, a flower, afterward a tree and, until she knew it, she would find herself a different person with a changed perspective! But was Dianne ready?
My goodness this sounds like something I could have written. I’m really struggling lately, so thank you for sharing this.
we all should STOP HURRYING. All my adult life was spent rushing and racing. we all need to learn how to slow down, how to find joy in little things and how to celebrate every moment!
Yes, I definitely have days like that when I rush through things just to get them done. And at the end of the day, I’m just not satisfied. I have to remember that I don’t HAVE to do everything right away. It’s good to be motivated, but it’s also important to take time and enjoy what I’m doing too. Thanks for this reminder!
Beautiful words! You should consider writing a book if you have not already.
I definitely feel like every day is a rush. And now that I’m getting older, it does seem like life is on repeat. Your words are so beautiful and inspiring.
I felt the same way last week, it was so hectic! Beautiful words here! Thanks for sharing!
nicely said, i love those words, thanks for sharing.
So beautifully written! I really loved this – its so dear!
its really a fact most times we struggle the early we come to this reality i think it will be good thanks
I love this so much just looks like you were writing about me. Is not easy keeping all things in check but I try to anyways.
Thanks for sharing this lovely post. I also need to slow down and cherish every moment. Lets worry less and smile more!
All of the pressure we have in life is the pressure we place on ourselves. It really comes down to what makes us happy and content. Having purpose is important, and realizing not everything will happen now is important. But ultimately being content for the good things in life makes us the most happy.
Oh wow! amazing blog post. So descriptive and enjoying to read. There are days I’m just rushing everything and I forget about myself and rewarding myself what I have accomplished. Not enjoying and satisfying life.
I agree that life is about taking time to enjoy the moment. We all need to spend more time being and less time doing.
Keeping calm from within and acceptance is the key mantra of life. I think we all have such tough days and find it difficult to cope up with the sudden turmoil in so many levels. We need to learn the art of calming our minds and stop rushing. Nice read!
Beautifully written. I agree, when things get too fast and there are too many things screaming for our attention, we must slow down.
In today’s life this is a post that we can all relate to but accept and face it as this is the essence of life.
Indeed. We have a tendency to take this as the essence of life and forget to enjoy the wonderful things life has to offer us.
Thanks for sharing this. Pausing to take stock and think about our motivation for doing things is so important. This was a great read, thanks
I am so happy that you enjoyed my post!
This is a great post to ponder. I love that topic. It shows how we are being formed in our daily living.
Glad you liked it :). Sending positive vibes your way.
These words made me think twice. It hurts real bad when your soul is hurt.
The Soul hurts, but this is how we grow! We need pain sometimes to be able to develop our abilities and our way of seeing the world! Sending my best thoughts to you!
What a beautiful written. We need to slow down and don’t rush our time to make our dreams come true in a fast way.
We definitely need to slow down. It’s a period in which we are so used to do everything fast and forget to appreciate what we have.
We must take a break from our daily life and take a moment out for ourselves, completely us. nothing else.
Your words speak so much truth! Sending positive vibes your way!
Beauty is everywhere when we stop and look for it.
You are so right! Thank you for stopping by!
