Hi Everyone! I'm new to the community and just submitted my first article last night. Wasn't sure if this group is still active, should I copy paste the text here or just leave it where it is?
Thank You!
How and Why- do we chose to forget all of the good things we experience for the exchange of the wrong that has been done to our lives?! In my own experience of a separation I can look at it and say, "Oh I wish I never married! I wasted 5 years of my life for it to end. I'm never going to trust any man again" -And although it may feel that way at the moment, reality is "My marriage had wonderful moments- Moments of pure depths I never before experienced with anyone, moments were there was blissful joy, moments were I grew as a person, moments where I overcame challenges, moments where I reflected, moments where I chose to be better and improve myself, moments where I learned to receive and give love, and moments where I learned how to stand for my beliefs and chose to respect myself; the list goes on". All of these wonderful moments would have been a little hard to experience, if I hadn’t allowed myself to fall in love when love was being offered to me, in which the feelings became mutually beautiful. Life is a beautiful experience and we are here to learn how to become, Wayne Dyer (my favorite author) calls “the observer”, as time passes. The observer watches the situation unfold as movie being projected as oppose to becoming involved in the movie. As the observer, we can step back, unattached, and then analyze with a more clear understanding the benefits of a situation.
So instead of choosing to forever deal with the pain of a break up, lets chose to forever live with the joy of the things gained along the way that allowed us to evolve into a higher being of ourselves. We have a choice- We could see the end as a new beginning to make it better next time, or to curse the fact that it ended and not allow ourselves anymore pleasure in fear of pain -But wait isn't that a pain within itself?- Yes, it is! So let us chose to see it as if we have gained more than what we had to begin with and create further opportunities to receive more moments, more memories, in which there is more love and even greater opportunities to come. So for these hard moments, we do not grow colder, we grow deeper, re-flourished and ready to welcome more love and be thankful for those many moments in which we had it and now have more, not for the moments in which we thought they were gone. It is never really gone unless we allow it to be so. Just because it is a different type of love that we must search within myself, doesn't mean we are empty. It could simply mean that we have chosen to feel that way if we give into the fear of never being the same without it. So with that said, when paying attention to fear- Let us realize that we won’t be the same without it- That's right!! WE WILL BE BETTER!! Because ALL was an experience, and now we know, and now we breathe together, the peace of not fearing. For now, we analyze only to improve and then let go to prepare for better things to come.
I regret nothing, because those moments created an opportunity for me to share and relate to more people who experience the same in life. There is only pain if we allow it. Ego suffers and self-punishes but “Spirit” nourishes and understands that, without expectations, this too shall pass. Don’t we love to be “In-Spired”? So let’s choose to allow ourselves to live “In-Spirit” by ceasing any expectations. Expect the Unexpected and allow inspiration to be welcomed. Always know that this is never the end, and “All is well”!
Thank you very much Kathy for the time and effort you have put into assisting me. I am very grateful for your expertise and knowledge along with your simplicity. What you wrote was easy to understand. THANK YOU!
Lost Nothing and Gained Everything (Second Draft written 6/11/2013)
The way I see it, is that I am not glad because it ended, I'm just glad I got an opportunity to experience at least a fraction of it. People become devastated after a break up a divorce, a separation, or other loss. Instead of feeling such a deep, depressive sense of losing something, we may instead chose to feel grateful for the opportunity to experience what we had. Submitting ourselves to a depression of good feelings “lost”, we forget that, "Hey at least it happened!" -At least we experience wonderful moments- If we did not experience such truly wonderful moments, then we wouldn’t be so upset. In addition, if we manifested good feelings once before, we can certainly do it again! One wonderful moment doesn't last forever because there are more wonderful moments to experience.
Why do we let perceived negativity become the cornerstone of our reality? I truly believe Marilyn Monroe, as ’risqué’ as she may have seemed, was onto something when she wrote, “Some things fall apart so that better things can fall together”. So within that time-frame where we lose, we must alternately remind ourselves that just because it doesn't feel so great right now, doesn't conclude it never did. Before that experience of euphoria mixed with the feeling of currently being “broken”- The question we must take a moment to ask and internalize is, “Was I able to lead a normal life prior to this experience?”
