Egypt
We often wonder why people do the things they do in relationships. Why people make certain decisions. Some judge and say that "so and so is stupid for dealing with such and such." It made me wonder about that. The word that kept resounding was hope. Hope - to wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment. Hope springs eternal and because of it we sometimes make decisions that may seem foolish to others but in our minds..the fulfillment of our expectations makes it worth it. When our expectations aren't met we wonder why and then move on to faith. Faith - belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. What we are typically trusting in is blind faith. We have no proof from our partners that they may ever do what it is we would like them to do, be the person we want them to be or meet our expectations. Hope and faith are powerful human beliefs. However, both can lead to unhealthy patterns. In relationships there is nothing wrong with the hope and faith that things will work out; but if the "proof is in the pudding" that things aren't working out it's time to use that same hope and faith that you can leave the relationship with love, heal your wounds and live your life to its fullest.

Things that aren't working just let them go....all seasons end.....

What do you fill your mind with? What thoughts primarily occupy your space? What is constantly in your head? Now ask yourself, What goals do you have in life that aren't being accomplished and why? Is it because your primary focus is on things you have no control over? We may be worrying about the state of the economy or the end of time or what our mate is or isn't doing. But do we have any control over those things? Absolutely not. Yet they get the majority of our attention. I work daily to control my mind and my thoughts. I'm not always successful but I strive to have a clear mind. I am diligent in allowing certain thoughts to be a part of my day and others I rebuke! I want to live a happy life. I want to be peaceful. If my mind is cluttered with junk I won't have the energy to be happy or peaceful. I will constantly be in a state of panic and not peace. Clear your mind through prayer, meditation and affirmations.
~be at peace.

Sometimes to maintain emotional peace we need to do the opposite of what we are feeling
in the moment.
In the moment we may feel the need TO KNOW when in fact we don't. We need to be still and allow situations to unfold naturally. By acting
in the moment we feel as though we have some measure of control over a situation or person. That's an illusion. The only control we have is over ourselves. Ask yourself, "what am I feeling at
this moment and by acting on this feeling what do I hope to happen? " Stop for a moment and imagine what it is that you want to feel or to happen. And then imagine that feeling. If you want to feel good....feel it. Instead of acting on an impulse that is external; focus on your internal stimuli. Focus on changing how you feel. That is what you have control over. Do the opposite of what impulsively you feel the need to do and create the environment that you desire instead.
~have a blissful day~
