Given a moment in time as i sit close to nature and sip a warm cup of tea under the glow of a clear day sky down the memory lane of the year 2020. The most memorable year of my lifetime hoping we don’t make memories of living in fear in the future. On the hind sight not all was induced with fear but a large part on new revelations, learning, experiences. Taking the pleasure to remind myself and all of you if you can relate to this.
We are not here forever, not now not after.
It’s all in the NOW. Here at this moment.
Attachment in detachment is not a negative thought but for me it implies that love unconditionally. Lack of reciprocation hurts with people and objects. Both have a life span, not as a whole but the one spent with you.
People come into our lives for a reason. Maybe to stay but never forever. Forever is only referred to as a thought, memory or a feeling. People are not for keeps forever or in our control. We are destined to meet them to build memories, learn valuable lessons, spend precious time with and last but not the least forgive and forget them if they have hurt us in any way.
The only tool that will assist you as long as you live is your BODY. Exercise regularly and contribute in household work. After all it’s your home, your haven, your dwelling, your trophy of a lifetimes hardwork.
We don’t need much to survive, our greed does. Be minimalistic. You’ll never wear a 100 pair of clothes in a season instead your favourite few. I don’t disagree with desires, it’s only human. I disagree with wastage and holding onto unused things, There are a lot of people out there who’ll appreciate what you don’t. Do contribute if there needs are met by your excess. Charity begins at home first.
Love and trust are not tangible but the most powerful element of strength in our lives. Never duplicate them with lust, hunger, selfishness, momentary pleasures or revenge. In the end you may long for what you already had.
Give your children wings and teach them to soar high, not fly away. Not every flight lands safely and takes you to your desired destination. When we soar high we raise our own standards as responsible human beings, never to look down instead look up in gratitude.
Lies and deceits can only be temporarily camouflaged, When revealed it strips you of your dignity for life. Wear your dignity instead so your soul is protected.
Replace medicines with self healing. It takes a lot of time and commitment but it’s possible. A pure soul resides in a content body. A content body may not be perfect but it’s soul can heal a million hearts because it knows how to love. Love yourself and take care of your body.
The small pleasures of life are priceless, literally!
Anger is better then silence. Silence can kill.
Our eyes are the mirror of our thoughts. How we perceive ourselves is reflected in the way we dress. Dress for yourself and not as how people want to see you.
ALL THAT GLITTERS…WHEN YOU SMILE WIDE FROM EAR TO EAR ARE YOUR TEETH, THE GLINT IN YOUR EYES, YOUR LAUGH LINES, THE WARM GLOW AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL SOUL. GOLD’S TRUE WORTH!
Love,
