Life is a journey!

A time for self care blended into my busy day. A walk in nature that was mixed with jogging and station work outs. It was a time of deep reflection on my health and how far I have come with the healing from my ankle injury. Euphoric feelings as I gently jogged up a grassy hill and became happily winded.

I carried small pine cones in my pocket that reminded me a flowers with petals opening. I smelled the pine in the air from the wood chips as well as the trees. I heard birds and water throughout various places along the way.

In one spot I stopped on a man made bring to enjoy the stream the flowed underneath. The same stream yet different on both sides. Standing on a bridge, allowing my eyes to take in the surroundings. To my left there is a rippling stream flowing smoothly and spanning further than a human can leap.

Naturally I turn to the right following the path of this stream and it immediately tapered to a small narrow path that I could easily step over.

What’s the difference between the two?

What sort of barriers and obstacles did this stream come up against that changed its appearance, size and outcome?

What are the barriers in your life?

What sort of obstacles have you come up against, and how do you handle those challenges?

Do you plow right through them head on like a bull?

Will you slowly navigate your way around them assessing your strategy as you go?

Will you JUMP over them and completely avoid touching the obstacle?

Or will you allow them to block you and your energy and narrow your path in life?

Every obstacle and every barrier we meet in life will be different, and how we react to them may also be different.

I have met many barriers and obstacles in my life and each and everyone of them I’ve handled in a slightly different manner. When I reflect back on all of my victories I realize whether they were negative or positive they were all victories. However I faced is challenging life good or bad I came out the other end of it empowered and confident in my decision making. Be confident, trust your choices and know that there will be obstacles and barriers in your life that I meant for you to learn from. 

Choose your path mindfully and take control of your life journey!!

LOVING ENERGY,
