ALL things are possible!

Greetings y'all :

Yesterday was an epic fail on my part . Nope don't try convincing me otherwise. I simply blew it . I was not a good captain of out ship . I saw an ice berg and went full steam into it then blamed the ice berg and the crew. The reality is I failed miserably. I chose my actions and reactions but neglected to be proactive.

The Dalai Lama teaches us that anger comes from selfishness, put others first and anger will cease. Life is suffering and suffering comes from holding onto expectations. Most of the time I do that, I've stated that the universe is much happier when I step aside and focus on others. I let go of personal expectations. Yesterday I dropped the ball. I , dogmatically held onto personal expectations. I let my stress and anxiety out of their Pandorian box. Had I taken a few moments to listen, think , observe, and feel empathy I would have nipped it in the bud and this blog would be different because the day would have been different. But this my friends is my reality, warts and all

A very dear friend reminded me I am a Pisces as is my progeny. We are a sensitive people, sensitive to others emotions. When I say I must be mindful of my mood that is what I mean. If I feel or project any emotion my wonderful progeny picks up on it. That includes calm and anxiety. This insight helped show a new path of healing. We are both sensitive to vibes and I've been able to subconsciously work it out. Zander however is merely eight and half years old ( at this in this lifetime) and was not aware of that hyper-sensitivity to moods in a room. Now we both know to be aware of it and to be wary of it. He can now focus in on the calm force and not feed or feed off the wild energy of others. Infuse others with calm.

I do not absolve others or myself of actions, reactions or choices. I reflect on my thoughts, words and action . I attempt greater understanding of root causes. Change occurs deep with in not on the surface. Tis time to take the helm of our ship and steer clear of icebergs. To ensure the crew they have a calm and capable captain.

My progeny commences his journey into third grade today. Yes I wonder where the time went. But as he so sweetly said this morning " wow I'm a third grader! When I was a baby I didn't even know this was possible!" Son - with you ALL things are possible! Godspeed young man!

  1. ARGH Ken! You have got to stop beating yourself up over things that are not under your control. Unless you and your aging (3rd grade now!) prince go live with the Tibetan monks, there is going to be all kinds of energy - both positive and negative- around you at all times. And as much as it sounds good on paper, you can't zen everything out - you are a human being who responds to outside stimuli as such.
    Smooches!
    Your next life wife

    1. Hello next life wife :)

      I know it appears I am beating myself up , for that I am sorry , I truly believe it is reflection and learning from mistakes. Outside stimuli should not be excuses but tools which help us grow. I am perfect nor believe I will reach perfection . I have many faults . I'm quite humbled by your passion and praise, by your concern and kindness. I guess it does seem like I'm trying to zen everything out. We are both sensitive to energies and need to be aware of that. We understand interconnectivity and it's power . I will work on my self esteem before we wed in the next life - thanks
