A LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Life is ever changing and offers experiences as it develops. We, at times, move through a life adventure seeking something of value and other times, are so absorbed in our heads/thoughts, that the events pass us by with little to no awareness from us.

When we are in the moment, these events bring with them much excitement, pleasure and/or learning potential, but if and when we are experiencing life on the surface or without focus, we gain little insight. 

The key to getting the most out of life seems to be to live in the moment and experience completely each and every event that life sends our way.  We tend to judge each event particularly by its monetary value. Judgment, however, is only a concept of what we believe has significance. 

A Learning Experience

Each experience teaches us something.  Each experience tells us something of ourselves.  Some individuals live to experience life, while some just pass through life experiencing the mundane and having no interest in what life is teaching or offering them. 

There are bits in life that are tragic, and these events can send us down roads that we wish we did not have to travel.  There are also events in life when everything seems to be miraculous, and life feels as though it teems with wonder and excitement. Oh, the influence of attitude!

We move through life, moment by moment, with great expectations at times and without any expectations at other times.  Perhaps it is best to have no expectations as sometimes we experience failure, sadness, despair due to our expectations.  We do, however, need to set goals for ourselves but with flexibility so that we can adapt with our ever-changing circumstances. 

Every passage in life prepares us for what is to come next or for what potentially lies in the future.  A bad experience (which is an opinion) does not necessarily mean that life will now always be stressful. This experience was a lesson from which we can grow and improve.

What we focus on, we magnify. If you focus on stress, then you will magnify the stress in your life. If you focus on gratitude and appreciation, then you will magnify gratitude and appreciation.

We really do not know what life’s lessons will bring, but we do have options on the way we perceive what life is presenting. 

Looking at life as a learning experience places “the lesson” in focus which fosters growth and development. With this focus, you are provided with a learning tool which has value.

WHEN ILLNESS STRIKES

When Illness Strikes

When we become ill, it is important beyond all else to have a positive attitude.  We cannot fight back with a defeatist attitude.  We must keep ourselves focused on healing and believe that it is possible.  Care for the body. The mind too plays a large part in the healing process. 

Of course, there are different degrees of health concerns and there are some which are much more difficult to cure.  Your mind frame, however, plays a significant role in the journey and the outcome of any illness or disease, no matter what the prognoses. 

For those individuals battling the odds, your attitude especially plays a significant role in how everything unfolds.  It can be very easy to get caught up in how defeating a disease can be (and certainly the way you are physically and mentally feeling) and we then lose sight of the real meaning of life. 

For those with minor illnesses, when you finally return to full health, pay heed to how well you now feel in comparison to only days preceding. Recognize what a true blessing being healthy is. 

For those that have conquered a disease like Cancer, it’s a new lease on life. We should listen to the little voice within that challenges us to make changes to our habits (both physically and mentally), the way we live our lives and our belief structures.

In general, those that go through life with very little health concerns should consider themselves lucky as this is not the norm.  Regardless of what you experience in life, life is a blessing. Do not forget how fortunate you are.  Most importantly, recognize that your focus creates especially over time. Focus on how good things are and all the important lessons that we have been taught throughout our life’s experience. 

When illness strikes, stay positive and focus on good health, both physically and mentally. Recognize that your focus creates. Let’s create a positive environment for our healthy selves.

NOTHING COMPARES

You can compare what you have or who you are to what others have or what they can do, but why? 

Nothing Compares

Comparisons only create jealousy or envy towards the other person or a feeling of lacking and doing without. There is no advantage to comparing ourselves to others. Why would we compare apples to oranges anyway?

There will always be individuals who appear to have more than we do or are capable of doing something we cannot. We are not who or what others are or can do. We are our own unique person with many positive characteristics and capabilities of our own. Nothing compares to who we are and what we are capable of doing. You are you and the skills you learn and what you acquire in life is what is needed for your life. We may not achieve our wants, but we achieve our needs.

Accept who you are and what you are capable of doing.  Acknowledge what you have achieved and place no limits on your capabilities.  The door always remains open even in the darkest moments.  It is up to us to advance, to move ahead and challenge ourselves to conquer each life lesson, to better ourselves and to rise above limitations. 

Don’t compare your abilities and your success to others.  Be content at least for the moment recognizing and appreciating your achievements.  Be thankful for your life and realize that every challenge, every lesson has made you who you are today and that person is a better, expanded, more knowledgeable person that you were yesterday. You know you can conquer and/or move forward from anything that comes your way no matter how big, no matter how difficult. Your lesson may be that of accepting and not reaching your goals, but you will grow and learn from this.

Falling short is not defeat. It is about doing your best and knowing that you did what you could and then accepting the outcome.  Not reaching our goals can be the biggest piece of luck we ever receive in life.  Not reaching our goal may open a door that offers us much more than we could ever have imagined.

Accept that life will take you to where you need to go.  Nothing compares to who we are and what we can do. We always win when we look at ourselves and our capabilities from that perspective.  Your view of you is what makes you a winner! Nothing compares…..
