Intention
There truly isn't a middle ground. There is either going forward or falling back. If not growth, then stagnation. We don't live in a vacuum - we exist in a living now.
In spiritual terms, that means one must be clear about intention and commitment: it's crucial to understand action is required. No "maybe tomorrow". No "I'll get around to it." There is only today and now.
Does that mean once committed there's no going back? Yes, in some ways.
But it also means that when redirection happens, it's a result of self-reflection and conscious choice.
It's all about practicing self-awareness and self-examination. What do I want? What are the costs? Am I willing to sacrifice? Does this particular decision move me toward the goal? What do I need to change?

The seasons of life shape us into who we are today. Our experiences, both happy and sad, challenging and victorious, mold us into individuals who have learned to survive. However, survival isn't always enough; during crucial periods, we need someone to walk alongside us and help us navigate through the season, emerging stronger. This may be your key time.

When we experience a trauma (a series of painful events or a single significant event), we can become partly "frozen " in the emotional response to the trauma.
Some of us are traumatized as a child, and repeatedly respond to situations that appear similar to the trauma event from that "frozen" part's childlike perspective.
As we continue through the developmental phases of life, those "frozen" responses just don't fit. And actually get in the way of a sense of peace, hope, and happy relationships.
Therapy can help you come to a place where the "frozen" responses don't undermine your adult responses.

What feeds your innermost being? In this world where we focus so much energy on being "connected", have we compromised ourselves?

It's easy to be distracted by news feeds, postings, videos, and texts to the point of losing touch with what is happening internally.

My encouragement today is to take 5 minutes, put the phone in another room, turn off the tv, and be in silence. Listen to your internal dialogue - what is your mind and heart saying to you?

YOU are as important as all the other "voices" around you. Bless yourself with some attention to your inner you. Truly listen to what YOU are saying in your heart. Practice caring and compassion toward yourself.

You probably have a lot to say to yourself, you may as well value yourself enough to listen.

This is my year end review. It's been a wild ride, hasn't it?

Here's one of the biggest conclusions I've reached. Life is a marathon, like a 25km marathon. When you run a marathon you train, you build endurance, and you learn the intricacies of your strengths and weaknesses. You have to force yourself to be mindful, you pace yourself with a view to the overall race, and you keep to the plan.

We didn't have the luxury of preparing for COVID: we were forced into a high-paced race without training. We're tired and we're scared we don't have what we need to make it to the finish line. We don't know even know where the finish line is!!

So let's slow our pace for a few days. Let's remember to be a bit more mindful of what our choices today, tomorrow and next week could mean 10 days down the road.

Let's take a breath and reorient ourselves to where we are right now in this marathon. We're pretty sure we're on the right course and we've stumbled a few times, but we're still going. We don't know if we have 6 or10 more months of this pace.

So let's cut ourselves, those around us, and those making the decisions some slack. Let's not pretend a finish line is in sight (it could be an exhaustion-induced vision!). Let's not set ourselves up for greater disappointment, when we need to conserve our energy.

Let's focus on the next 500 meters of the marathon. We don't need to be first across the line, we just need to finish.

Keep on keeping on!!

And my thoughts go out to those of us who have a loved one, a friend, a coworker, or a neighbour who is no longer running the marathon. Their absence is painful, but I think they're cheering from the sideline.

POWERFUL MESSAGE
I just listened to Maya Angelou talking about her experience of being r***d at age seven.

She shared that it created cynicism, which she said is so damaging, especially in a child.

The quote I found so important was that cynicism in a child is tragic because it reveals a child has gone from "knowing nothing to believing nothing."

A child not believing they can have hope, optimism, safety, a voice, and support is COMPLETELY contrary to the NEEDS of the child for security, trust and consideration.

I've been thinking lately about the power of accountability versus the destructive nature of blame.

Blame involves shame, fear, and degradation. It diminishes the recipient without allowing much room for mercy and change.

Accountability, on the other hand, involves perspective, awareness, and hope. It brings freedom, conviction, and growth. It doesn't solely rely on the opinion of others, rather it is an expression (and builder) of inner strength.

When I compare which is harder, in my opinion blame is harder because it's a life sentence. Whereas accountability is a part of the natural development of a healthy individual.

Please watch the complete video.

Each of us is an "I ". But corporately, "I" is "WE".

When I hurts, WE need to listen. WE need to listen to both what I's voice is saying as well as what their heart is saying.

There is both power and comfort in being heard.
