Embracing You Completely As You Are

, , , 0

You are not just the past, 
The present 
or even the future

You are not just the events that have happened,
The tragedies that have occurred nor
All of the joyous moments cherished.

You are the sum 
of all of your experiences and 
the whole of all your  perceptions too

There is no right 
and no wrong in how you think, 
or what you feel, 

There are no shoulds or should haves
No coulds or could haves
Only the choices made at a particular moment in time

Through it all
There is only an embracing 
of the whole of you

Life is never a series of bad decisions
Or mistakes in timing
Or what ifs

Life is never a test or an examination
Neither is it simply a culmination of hard work
Big effort or deserveability 

Life for you is all exactly as it is meant to be
The beautiful, the good, 
the bad, the ugly

All of it to be embraced
All of it to be loved
All of it simply a reflection

Of the beauty the joy the passion and the love
Of the mighty, worthy person 
that you truly are.

Experiences do not happen to you
Experiences make you who you are
Embrace them

And through them all, 
embrace the complete whole 
of who you are.

The Journey Here

, , , , , , 0

Just for a moment today,
Look back.

Look back,
Through the winding paths and
Pot-holed, cracked pavements
Through the thorn bushes and
The occasional sweet-smelling rose

Look back and see
Just how far you’ve come
Despite all those detours and false starts
In spite of the detractors and nay-sayers
Against the billowing wind and howling rain.

You’ve walked the path
Just one foot in front of the other
Sometimes it seemed harder than you could ever imagine
Other times the wind seem to push you along and lift you up

And in the end, no matter how long it took
Or where the road took you
You arrived.

Exactly where you were meant to be
Exactly where you are now

So for a brief moment today,
Look back.

Look back
In appreciation
For all the smiles and the tears
Along the way
For all the lessons learnt,
Friends made, love gained.

Look back today
And know,
That the you
That you are today,
Would not be here if not for
Those winding paths and
Pot-holed pavements
Those thorn bushes and
Sweet-smelling roses.

You made it here
Right where you are today!

And This Is How The Universe Replied

, , , , , 0

Have you ever asked the Universe for an answer?

Do you know that while you are
but a strand in the woven tapestry of life,
there is only one of you.

One precious, amazing, wholesome, wonderful you.

And This Is How The Universe Replied

In desperation and depression I begged,
“Please! Dear Universe, we need your help.
We’re down to our last pennies
And we need something to change”.

As my mind silenced and my heart eased,
This is how the Universe replied.

Know that everything,
every single thing is always working out for you
Everything that you are working on now,
will turn to gold

No matter how difficult and big
Or how small and seemingly insignificant,
Everything that you do is of great,
great value.

There is no one else on this earth,
Or anywhere else in this Universe,
Who has had your experiences and perspectives.

Your ideas, ideals, thoughts,
emotions and beliefs
are so valuable
to the whole world and everyone in it,
because there is no one else
who is able to bring your message,
your experience and your expertise
forth to share.

Know that you are on a path that is truly yours,
for no one else before you or after you
will ever walk that same path again.

And most of all,
Trust,
Trust that all will be well.
With love to you always.
