LIFE, through my eyes…
Each and every individual is a unique being. Each has a road travelled upon and a journey to tell of. I like to think of LIFE as a journey, the road that we choose, and the paths that lead us to wherever it is that we may go.
Along your road, just as LIFE, you will encounter winding bends, which make the trip more challenging. The road may be smooth or of gravel, and uneasy in certain places. You may have wonderful views, beautiful meadows and streams or perhaps the road that you have chosen is dull, with bare trees and no views. These are similar to the choices that you make in life. You travel along the road, trying to avoid the ditches and potholes, adhere to the winding bends, make the most of your trip and attempt to make it the best journey ever. Yes you will encounter many obstacles along the way, just as the many challenges we face in life, you have the ability to remain strong enough to overcome them.
We all need to accept life as a gift. You do not have to earn or deserve love, joy, success or anything else. You CAN have anything your heart desires…this all comes from within you, believeing, trusting and being fair to yourself. There are no impossible dreams. If you have a desire and believe it, expect it to happen, and it will be. Fill your days with activities, people, places and projects that you love and that bring out the best in you. Relax more, laugh more, nourish yourself with joy! Be thankful for the wonderful things in your life, assume that everyone is good and loving. Even if you are in a crisis or having a hard time, take a deep breath and relax in it and love your life regardless. Avoid anyone who throws you into guilt, fear or anger. The best way to let go and feel better is to reach out to someone else. You can make a difference in the life of someone else.
My God is my savior, if it was not for Him, I would not be the person I am today. He has taught me to love myself and others and life, without condition. I possess so much respect and kindness – reaching out with love towards all beings and seeing the Light within everyone. I honor everyone’s beliefs, feelings, values and choices. I value their uniqueness and remind myself that I cannot know their paths or guidance. God has given me a Purpose in life, my own mission to express my creative gifts, talents and visions in whatever way is joyful to me.
Although I have had many challenges throughout my life, it is a reminder to me that that every difficult or painful experience in is full of opportunity – only if I look through the eyes of love, rather than through the eyes of fear and judgment.
May you feel love for your life, for the people of your world and most of all for yourself. May you follow your dreams and desires, trusting in your feelings and use your imagination to create your own heaven on earth!
With love … Sheryl Long
