loving what is

The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want. Byron Katie

This is from a book I am reading called Loving What Is. I am really enjoying it and most of all enjoying turning the page. I usually listen to audio books which I love but sometimes I think you just need to feel the paper. Anyway I realize that I haven’t been writing much lately and I don’t want to beat myself up for that. I want to feel free to write. I am changing so much in my life and it feels great. I have made the decision to return to school in the Fall and I am slowly pulling away from computers. I am doing my work in Big Bear and will be getting my first Life Coach Certification in August. It feels great to say it all. I am excited to be right where I am. And so the question is- what changed? I want to be able to share my journey in a way that makes you think about yours. In asking yourself the right questions you can change your life. It’s not hard to do one thing. It’s hard when you look at the whole thing. How many times do you stand back and look at something you want to do like get your Masters or run a marathon or make any big change in your life and look so daunting that you say you can’t. We do that in life with conversations we are afraid to have and things we want to accomplish- they just look too big and feel too uncomfortable. Well I think if you’re too comfortable in life than you’re not growing and learning and tapping into all the gifts that you have to give. And please don’t mistake the words comfortable for enjoyable. Life is enjoyable and the greatest part of it is that we get to keep growing and keep learning more until the day we pass on. Being comfortable in a way that you don’t ever push past what is keeping you stuck will make you someone that is merely breathing. You have a voice and you have a gift and an abundance of possibilities all wrapped up in you. Don’t hold them in. Don’t waste your time in fear. You are good enough. You have what it takes, share it!

Today I am grateful for a day with family. I am grateful to be emotionally available.
