(¯·._☆ Taking a Step Into Me....PLEASE...Read this first... ☆¯·._)

Thank you for taking a moment to take a step into me & into my life. However, please note that all that is written here is merely my own personal experiences, perceptions, views, opinions, feelings & emotions. This blog is a means of expression for me, as I find writing to be quite cathartic. I hope by using this forum this will promote open lines of communication. I only hope that by doing so this will help precipitate healing and growth. If you don’t agree or don’t share in my perception that is indeed okay. We are all individuals; we are each entitled to our own personal perceptions, views, opinions, feelings & emotions. Please understand that these are mine so you must read at your own risk. If by chance we do not share in the same views I am always willing to talk about it. I am always open to broadening my horizons n’ seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. However, this is me in my rawest of forms, sharing all that colors my world. So come see the world through mine….

☆ Making The Decision ☆

Making The Decision
Saying Yes To The Universe

The hardest thing about saying yes to the universe is that it means accepting everything life puts in front of us. Most of us have a habit of going through our days saying no to the things we don't like and yes to the things we do, and yet, everything we encounter is our life. We may be afraid that if we say yes to the things we don't like, we will be stuck with them forever, but really, it is only through acknowledging the existence of what's not working for us that we can begin the process of change. So saying yes doesn't mean indiscriminately accepting things that don't work for us. It means conversing with the universe, and starting the conversation with a very powerful word—yes.

When we say yes to the universe, we enter into a state of trust that whatever our situation is, we can work with it. We express confidence in ourselves, and the universe, and we also express a willingness to learn from whatever comes our way, rather than running and hiding when we don't like what we see. The question we might ask ourselves is what it will take for us to get to the point of saying yes. For some of us, it takes coming up against something we can't ignore, escape, or deny, and so we are left no choice but to say yes. For others, it just seems a natural progression of events that leads us to making the decision to say yes to life.

The first step to saying yes is realizing that in the end it is so much easier than the alternative. Once we understand this, we can begin examining the moments when we resist what is happening, and experiment with occasionally saying yes instead. It might be scary at first, and even painful at times, but if we continue to say yes to every moment through the process, we will discover the joy of being in a positive conversation with a force much bigger than ourselves.
