Growing in times of trouble.



Getting out of your comfort zone takes courage, it takes conviction. How many people wonder when the next stage will hit you with a vengeance. Sowing the seed for growth takes conviction and satisfaction that continues until complete. We can turn our noses up or we can learn to curb the roads less travelled. We all have that inbuilt ability to make things harder on ourselves. I don’t think that changes much these days, but we know a fine line when we see one.

 

Who thought that going the distance in an online education setting would happen? Of all the times we wondered what life would be like if it changed. Well change has come full circle; it has ripped us out of our comfort zone and shown a real connection to the world that we did not know. Looking back takes time and that will be a learning curve that we all needed to take on board. Sounding the board for realisation with technology is also part of the new times. Learning to navigate our way around a computer takes ownership, it takes courage to learn new skills. Setting the benchmark in times of trouble takes courage and excitement to build. We all went on this journey together and look where it has got us. It has taken us on the road of discovery, of retribution and of democracy.

 

We once knew a person that could think on their own, now we need a tribe to help. A tribe to help communicate our needs. This works in many ways. It shows us how we can work as a team and bring companionship and greetings in a more relaxed way. No more tearing up the driveway after work looking for the next fix. No more worrying about the school bus being late. We are all here together waiting on the calling of civilisation to change. To bring repent for all the harsh times that we journeyed into oblivion, not knowing our fate. We did not realise our mistakes we were making. We do now, we look out and see the fixtures of deceit, of destruction and of malice that kept creeping through our doors.

 

We all hold a special grasp on life that we knew. It has changed, it has sown a seed for a new way to open up. To bring praise on the courage of survival and learning to be more poignant and stoic. Having faith, having a sense of realising life will never be the same brings on a whole new meaning. It shows us that we need to now build a system that can accommodate the new ways of the world. The harsh reality is we do not frown upon the old, that is our injustice. We take the new and build a strong team around us to support the challenges, the hurdles and the growth of survival in its finest form. We are all here together and let the light shine for all to see.

Years mark the day

YEARS MARK THE DAY By Jacqui Ray We were celebrating another milestone with our marriage, another year passed with unrelinquished misery as my husband would say. I know he was joking but deep down were we still compatible? Most years we would forget our wedding anniversary or anything else that resembled a major point in our lives. People make out dates to be so important, I am not sure if this was a sticking point in our relationship. Did it really matter if we did not celebrate our wedding anniversary? Did it really matter if we did not wear our wedding rings? People get so caught up in the expectations of what others think. It is not what he does for me but how he does it. My husband may not jump for joy on certain days when I am wanting him too but that is how he is. Don’t change a person just because you want them changed, there has to be a need for change and direction to wonder how these factors affect a relationship. We bot...

Forgiving and forgetting.

Many times in your life there are people that hold a very special place in your heart. Cutting cords is something I have never thought about until I started my spiritual journey. Do you have a friend you have known all your life? Do you keep the friendship going because you have known them forever? You might grow apart and distance yourself, but that nagging feeling keeps you in that friendship circle.   Cutting cords is hard with blood relatives and friendships, but are they serving you? Is it time to relinquish the guilt and subservience of their friendship and know that the time has come to think about yourself first? Do you need them in your life? Start with that, think about what happiness they bring to you. Think about if they are there for you when you need someone to call on or are they just a fair-weather friend? Spiritualism has no bounds with the way we are when someone is hurting you. You may just be a shoulder for somebody to use and abuse yo...

Worldly possibilities

How many people wonder what life has in store for them? Are there certain destinies to behold or how do I put it, explanations in life that cannot be told? For I am one of those people that judged and belittled what was not my belief. Somehow that made sense to me and spiritual reclusiveness was part of the package for me. My life consisted of having a wonderful upbringing, living in the suburbs of Melbourne with my family and enjoying the simple things in life. I was not a religious person nor was my family. Pretty much Atheism was what we all believed in. I did attend an Anglican school for my education but was not aware of how religion would play a part in the school curriculum. During Religious Education, I remember being perplexed and bored. I would not listen and hardly remember anything that my teacher taught me.      If I had been brought up in a different family with religious beliefs, then maybe there would be a different outcome.
