Perceptions

Perceptions are an extremely powerful force in our lives that are directly related to each and every feeling of hearts and distinguishing thoughts in our minds. The most common aspects of our perceptions are fear and faith. When we are rattled by situations in our lives, it is quite possible that we are looking at our current circumstance from the perception of a past we can't change or a future that we certainly can't see. There are things in life that will knock us back, occurrences that we don't see coming. We can look at it from the viewpoint of yesterday or tomorrow, allowing our minds to spin out of control; Or we can look down and see that our feet are planted right here in the present, giving us an opportunity to grasp onto the perception of faith that we will be able to forge ahead, realizing we will never be given anything we can't handle.

We must teach ourselves to accept the perceptions of others and never judge. Each of us has our own unique way of looking at life and nobody has a firm grasp on what others should think or feel. We will find that acceptance is our greatest asset in allowing everyone around us to discover peace in their own lives. No matter what happens inside each of us, rivers will still flow, seasons will change and night will turn into day; if we are able to comprehend the idea that we are a small part of this vast Universe eventually we will all be able to feel free from the fear that binds us and see that faith will carry us to the place of our dreams. Everyone has their own perceptions and the beautiful aspect of this is that they will effortlessly change at the moment that they are meant to, letting us discover the beauty that is within each of us.

Faith and Destination

There are times in our lives when moving on is essential for our own purpose of discovering the next fantastic experience awaiting us. Each day we have an opportunity to forge ahead by learning from yesterdays triumphs as well as missteps. So long as we are allowing ourselves to be willing and open minded enough to change there is nothing that we can't handle. Often times we may get wrapped up trying to figure out the exact reasons why certain situations do not go our way and we drag our past along with us. Like a big shadow we tend to cast blame on the occurrences that have already happened, things we can't change and the insecurities that follow them. Instead, we should make every attempt to find within ourselves new thoughts and a new direction to get to that place we really want to go. The only certainty about time is that it passes, we can move on from every moment by simply changing our thoughts toward the positive energy in and around us.

When we are stuck in moments that we can't seem to get out of and unsure of where to go next, we can find solace in the courage it takes to change our thoughts. We can concentrate on all of the gifts we have right there in palms of our hands and the faith that could be found in our hearts. The air we breathe, lives we may touch, imagination and hope. We are capable of turning fear and isolation into faith and destination one moment and one tiny risk at a time. As we allow ourselves to move ahead, letting go of yesterday and tomorrow there will be fantastic experiences waiting for us. Let the mystery unfold, letting go of fear and taking the little risks that will open us up to our greatest dreams.

Hold onto Resources

We have infinite resources which we can reach for to grab onto life's miracles. Anyone that has ever achieved anything were not sure quite how they were going to get there, they simply believed that they were going to. Our journey begins new every day, no matter the situations that we are encountering at any given time we are capable of moving one step closer to our dreams. Certainly, we will encounter situations that have us feeling trapped and unsure where to go next; These are the times when it is necessary to let go of our fears and reach for inspiration that comes in many different forms. The one and only action we have to take is to be open to all of the resources put into our lives that will take us out of our own minds and touch our hearts.

Inside our own heads we tend to feel as though we can solve all of our issues when in fact we are rejecting the beauty that surrounds us. The spirit of others can be an invaluable resource in taking us out of the situations that rattle us at any given time. Each of us have insecurities and demons that effect us in different ways, sharing them lessens the burden of ever having to go through our individual stuff alone. When we are able to reach out and hold onto people that believe in us, music that moves us, stories that inspire, imagination that keeps us going and faith, we will surely find ourselves feeling alive inside. Let us not attempt to figure it all out with our minds, but let the resources of our hearts move us toward our grandest dreams.

Within our Reach

Creating the life we imagine will come with twists and turns that invariably will give us a new sense of freedom as we keep moving forward. As we teach ourselves to see beyond the walls in front of us we will be equipped to trust our instincts and stop fighting with each and every fear that holds us back. Our greatest insecurities are derived from a past that we can do nothing about except forgive ourselves, forgive others and move on. More than anything else we tend to shrink ourselves down to expectations that we learned from the circumstances of our past. It is easy to lay blame on our mistakes or our perceived mistakes of those surrounding us throughout our lifetime; The simple fact is we are set free by the truth and imagination that lies within each of us, as we let go of our past all that we can dream of is within our reach. No matter where we are right now, we can let go of yesterday and begin to create the life we imagine.
