Daily Reflection

Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow." Goethe

I ask myself sometimes, as we all do:"Who am I ?"" Where am I?"" Where am I going ?" What's it all about?"The learning and growing process-is usually slow. But eventually our seeking always brings a finding. What seems like great mysteries often turn out to be enshrined in complete simplicity. Have I accepted the fact that my willingness to grow is the essence of my spiritual development?

Willing to learn and willing to 'have a go' at trying something new. The more I learn, the more I find there is to learn. When your willing, the resistance stops and the world opens up with endless opportunities and possibilities. I stopped resisting, and started to embrace life. Never know what tomorrow will bring, might make me mad, sad, glad. I'll deal with that tomorrow. Today, I'm excited and happy :}

When living in the moment there's just no time for such questions....Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?

Too much time thinking and not enough time doing the next right thing. It all unfolds with one foot in front of the other.

Yes, willingness to grow is the essence of my spiritual development!

Yes, stop resisting and embrace life!

Thinking has it's place. After all we were given brains to reason. I can say it wasn't until I started doing that my faith in possibilities began to grow and the results far more than I could have imagined.

Just one day at a time. I'm not much of a planner anymore, more spontanious. I had to let go of that part of myself, it was part of my sickness in that it fed my need to control. Oh sure, it is good to plan some things. But I cannot attach myself to the outcome.

LIfe is good
Life can be challenging
But i'm alive with possibilities and potential as is everyone
