Set them up

Today, as you are sitting at your desk, waiting at the bus stop, sitting on the edge of your bed and reading this post, you are a culmination of every single experience that life has given you.

The good, the bad, the horrific, the pain, the pleasure, the many, many lessons that were provided, and hopefully recognized.
Your thoughts, some of your actions, they are uniquely yours- the result of
 a masterful tapestry that is constantly spinning its threads.

There may have been a point in your life when you actually wished for something that you regret today.
We simply don’t understand the domino effect of choice, the master plan that makes sense of seemingly unconnected events.

Realize, everything happens as it should. ❀

Life is not a game one can win. Life is the prize we've already won.

Thank you Mark, at Mystic Meaning for this quote! Made me recall many conversations with terminal patients - this quote came alive for me today!


I've talked with many who came to this realization with a terminal diagnosis - a time frame left on their earthly life.
Regardless of whether or not they were 'successful' businessmen, housewives, grandmothers, or even younger adults.



All previous bets were off -it became time to enjoy the gift of life and disregard their own mindset of priorities and hoop jumping to 'advance' in life.
I think their definition of living changed when it was threatened with ending abruptly.


For many, hearing the 2 minute warning sparked them to really begin living. ❀ Joan

You Make the Call for choices in your life!

“If life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” Proverbs 


"When the world brings you to your knees You're in the perfect position to pray." unknown 




 I recall watching a tv show when I was younger where the announcer would show a clip of video and the contestant was chosen to ‘make the call’ for what action came next in the video. Based on the current situations, comic, tragic or otherwise, the participant would make the call for their reaction; their response - what event came next. 


 Interestingly, the audience 'best guess' of the sequence of events was not always straight forward and correct. 




The point being, things aren't always what they seem, and things don't always happen as planned. 




Rather than struggle with trying to smooth out the externals, the biggest rewards come from fostering our internal wisdom and acceptance!




 So when you’re flying with turkeys, handed lemons or brought to your knees, remember......


 ‘You make the call’ of how you move forward with what you've been given!
