I give you a ROSE of LIFE.

Over the past few weeks I have beat myself up. Told myself off, and tried to justify why I have felt tired, depressed and low on self esteem. I am a person who gives 100% most of the time. And I expect others to also give 100% of themselves. But I forgot one basic thing..

That if we were all be the same it would serve us to learn nothing. For we have to have opposites in all things.. With the Good we must also experience the Bad.

Depending on what stage we are in our lives, we can sometimes feel like we ought to know more about who we are or how to live. We may even beat ourselves up for making the same mistakes, or for just not understanding why we go through the various mistakes we keep making. We wonder how our lives would be now, if only we had “known better.” During moments like these, it is important to remember that none of us are born with instruction manuals and that learning lessons is a lifelong journey. And that each of us only progress by learning through our mistakes!

And until we learn, the lessons keep on repeating.

Our being born is that we are here to observe, learn, and grow. Accompanying this is understanding that there will be mistakes and misadventures along the way. We must also realise that there are those who come to bring to us those irritations in life in order for us to learn and grow. So too our enemies in a way should be thanked, for they come to allow us to grow and progress. And so therefore are there any mistakes in life? 

While it is only natural that we may sometimes become overwhelmed, especially when the lessons keep coming, it is important to remember that learning to understand yourself and your world.

Every lesson is intended so you can become more aware of who you are. And as you grow through this self-discovery, you begin to create your own instruction manual. The "how’s" and "why’s" are yours to discover, and part of the beauty of being alive is that these rules are always changing as is the world.

Sometimes Discovery of Oneself comes with harsh lessons. And we become harsh task masters upon ourselves as we beat ourselves up for our mistakes.. But are they mistakes?……

Or are they the thorns that lead us up the beautiful stem of life to that perfectly formed Rose.

Valentines Day is the day many give their loved ones Roses. Next time you look at that Rose, take note of the Thorns. For the thorns of Life are there for a purpose, they allow us a choice to chose the smooth or rugged road..The Choice is always ours to make.. 

They show us that the purpose of learning compassion means someone has to suffer. It means that to learn to care, someone has to be in need of caring. It tells us that if we chose the path of the light.. there has to be also that Dark path.

So I give you a ROSE……. with all its thorns and lessons…….

Happy Valentines to all my friends

Taking a Look at One’s Self.

~ Stuart Wilde ~

       Often even those of us who travel through our lives giving support and guidance come to a point in our lives when we too seem to pause for breath as energies change and we hang onto the familiar.. Life has been no different for me than any of you.. I often would look at these times as doubts crept in as failures, and yet they can be the prelude to the next growth spurt of our life experiences as we endeavour to take the next steps on our never ending journey into unknown territory.

We are here upon this Earth to grow and learn through our experiences.. To understand we are not just our bodies or our emotions and see we are all part of something which is infinitely bigger than any of us can comprehend. For we are all of us part of that God Force being taught through our Daily lives that which we know will strengthen our evolution through to those higher dimensions.

I have held hands with many emotions upon my journey.. and recently the energies which have been changing and swirling around this planet, left me swirling yet again in uncertainties and insecurities, so much so that even the humdrum of clicking onto my blog got too much.. So I needed to recharge and rebalance my own energies as I looked within.. 

I so value my community of friends that I have built up here at WP and some of you I have got to know very well. Others we pass like ships in the night as we acknowledge each other’s postings.. But I count each one of you as blessings as we share our thoughts and our different worlds through our teachings, and experiences, both in word, poems and photographs… We each of us are adding to the whole Community and to the Collective Consciousness which all of us are a part of, as we endeavour to spread our lights into the world through our various experiences, be they good, bad, or indifferent.

We each must learn to take on responsibility for our own circumstances which each of us are experiencing. And those experiences are vital for our growth in this moment of time.

I have come to understand that there are no Accidents or Victims, each of us pull to us the experiences in life, that which we need. While it may sound inconceivable that we should go through some of our traumas, we do not see the whole picture of which we are part of within the creation of our God force which together make up the whole experience..Karma here is also playing its hand.

I have cried and laughed alongside you.. I have felt your Joy and your sadness.

For a long while I felt I needed to share my life’s story.. of which I started to write in My Soul Journey series … which when we think about it we all have ‘that story’ which shaped us to follow our path and without which we would not be who we are today, for it moulded us to be stronger, and more self aware in our need to delve deeper as we searched for who we really are.. But sitting in my own silent power over the last few days, I know if I am to move forward, I also need to let go of the past. And so while my journey may be an interesting one for the reader, it is only serving to keep me held within my past…

Letting Go of hurts and pain, means that when we have viewed them and looked at why we needed their experience we then can let them go with love in our hearts.

When we agreed to come here in Human form we entered this realm of reality called Earth, our Energy entered by choice the body we are in. We chose the circumstances of this life because we knew it was the next stage in our development through to those higher dimensions. And those circumstances through our experiencing Joy and pain would enhance and expand our Spiritual growth of that expression of our living Spirit, that God force.

Each of us have within us a Mission, a Goal to accomplish, many forget as we enter this dimension, but the Deep Inner You, remembers and for me that has been my driving force… I had this unknown Mission in my life which drives me to keep searching to find answers to Life, Questions we each ask as we yearn to seek who are we truly are?.

For me I have discovered I am a Powerful Being and the only restriction in unleashing that creative power force is Me…

Life often takes us on a pathway fraught with obstacles and hurdles to overcome, but even these can be the very things we need to strengthen us to remember who we are.

No one can unleash that Inner Spirit, that Hidden power we all of us possess  we look to find our answers by reading books, and following Guru’s…

but when it comes down to it no one can unlock the Inner You, but YOU.

I only write of my own experiences, each of us needs to understand the Universal Laws, for these govern All life forms. We all of us at times yearn for what we think is impossible as we put limits upon are achievements as we perceive within our established belief systems that miracles don’t happen.

Miracles don’t happen because we believe that they can’t …

Today I am making a commitment to myself… And that is I am on My Mission and it’s Not Impossible to Change the world, because I know I can change myself..
