(R)Evolution The First R - Relaxation

Day 5 of 30 days

Good Morning, butterfly.  Unfurl those colorful wings of yours, get ready to flap wildly toward your dreams.  Yeah I know, Baby Doll, what does a lion have to do with butterflies?  Everything, nothing, something, just relax and lets talk a little.

We talked yesterday about the three R.s of life.  Today lets talk about the first "R".  Let's just RELAX and talk about Lions and Butterflies.

Sweetness, you will be both the lion and the butterfly on any given day.  Study both of these fascinating creatures and learn.

As you feel loving energy surrounding you, lifting you ever higher, flitting among the flowers of life and enjoying it all, you are the Butterfly.

As you feel the intense urge to roar your truth, speak out against what you perceive as incorrect do it with the intensity within, you are the lion.

With a lions courage, bravery and confidence, roar even if others do not respond.  With the butterflies lightness feel the love ever present even when not evident and share it profusely.  If others attempt to over power your loving self, become the lion.  If others attempt to overpower you become the butterfly, rise above it.  This choice is yours now that you understand, you are both. 

Sweetheart, you were born with a voice, use it.  If you ever lose your voice, find your hands and continue to speak your truth through the written word.  If your words fail you, sing.  If your arms and voice fail you, dance.  If you ever lose all of this peer deeply into others souls until they feel your souls special message.

Be the Butterfly.  Be the Lion.  Most of all, be your perfect self because you are beautiful.

Relax, be yourself in every moment.  Relax, learn from everything around you.  Relax and know that whatever you do is exactly what you are suppose to be doing at this very moment.  Relax, you are amazing just like you are, be confident in your wonderful, vibrant, authentic self.  

 
Ok you little animal... get out there and be heard, the world is waiting for you.  Go get em tiger. 

(R)evolution - The Second R - Responsibility

Good Morning, dear heart.  Here let me brush that beautiful hair of yours as we visit this morning.

We spoke yesterday about the first of the three R's of life, relaxation.  Today let us talk about responsibility.

The word, Responsibility, will be thrown around a lot during your life.  It is important that you understand what is and what is not your responsibility.  Many will attempt to put their responsibility onto your shoulders but to accept and master your own responsibility will be enough.  Your only responsibility, truly, is to master yourself during this life time.

You are coming to an age where you desire less and less of my directing your daily life.  I am so very proud of you, the person you have become.  With asking for less of my direction, you must be ready to accept responsibility for the self.

No one in life will be capable of knowing exactly how you feel about various situations as you grow into the fullness of yourself.  I know, we are taught that some day a person will come along and complete us.  This is not the truth, you are complete just as you are.  Others sharing your life either intimately or superficially are also self contained, experiencing their life from their own minds.  We can only hope to find others who are like ourselves in enough ways to enjoy the interaction between us.  The joy is amazing when two of a like mind come together but do not get lost in the union, completely, because your travels are harmonious yet separate.  Be responsible for yourself.

As you are responsible for yourself, there will arise areas within your life which are painful for one reason or another.  You can not, nor should you, interfere with another individuals learning path.  You are responsible for doing what you can to correct what is seen as unwanted within your own life.

You can choose at any moment how to react to an unwanted thing and to what degree you wish to pursue your quest to bring about the wanted.  It may be as simple as seeing a piece of trash thrown carelessly on the street.  Your responsibility is to choose to pick it up or not.  The trash does not care.  The person who put the trash there does not care either so if you choose to leave it then that is your choice and the responsibility now lies upon you that it continues to be littering the street.  You may choose to stand screaming at the piece of trash, railing against the hands that carelessly placed it there.  This does nothing to correct the unwanted from your sight.  Again, the trash does not care where it is.  The hands that placed it there are long gone and do not hear your railing against what you see as unwanted.  In this case you would be attempting to make the responsibility of what you see as unwanted another persons responsibility.  You may also be hoping to shame the other through this manipulation into no longer doing this thing you find unwanted.  This also will not work because the other wanted the trash along the street or they would not have placed it there.  So here we are, an unwanted piece of trash along the street.  What do we do?  We pick up the trash and this corrects the problem of this very moment.  Perhaps at this moment you will feel better but chances are you will now see all of the other trash along this same street and notice ever more unwanted trash.  One possibility here would be to begin caring for your own yard in such a wonderful way that others see it and wish to have their yard in the same condition.  Others who are also bothered by the trash will soon wish to have a wonderful yard like yours and choose to make their own habitat similar.

You are responsible for others who are trusted within your life.  The limit of your responsibility is to yourself, however.  If the others in your life prove to be untrustworthy then it is solely your responsibility to limit that persons ability to affect your own life's path.  Do not ever allow another to become responsible for you, that is NOT their responsibility.  Only with children who are not ready to take responsibility for their own lives does this become our responsibility.

Today, practice personal responsibility.  Tomorrow, practice personal responsibility.  For your entire life, live responsibly and with each choice walk closer to fulfilling your dreams.  Those dreams are your destiny.

Darling, the world is waiting for you.... go get em tiger... enjoy your day responsibly.

(R)evolution - The 3rd R, Reliability

   Day 7 of our 30 days

The 3rd R, Reliability

Good Morning, sweetness, I do hope you slept well.  Eat your breakfast and we can finally talk about this 3rd R that we learned about a few days ago.  

What is reliability, do you know?  It is a very big subject, much bigger than for breakfast alone so let us talk about the most important thing for you to remember through life, self reliability.

No, darling, I am not concerned at the moment about what your coach thinks or your teachers or even the minister,  I am concerned with your understanding that this applies most importantly to you.  What I want you to consider this morning is the question, am I being reliable to myself?  If you can master this, you will be far ahead of the game.  Many never understand this and I am hoping you will.

 Without you, nothing else happens in your world.  This is a simple truth.  Your world does and always will revolve around you, there can be no other way.  If we are not reliable with our own health, emotional and physical then we will cease to be of value to ourselves and this must be guarded with fervent urgency.  Only when you are reliably, consistently caring for your self can you be of value to others.  No this does not mean to put yourself above any other, it means that you are equal to all others and they are responsible for their own self care.  

When we are reliable to ourselves, we do not over extend our time.  We plan events with enough time to be there or to produce results when promised.  It is when we fail to do this that others will view us as unreliable and eventually this will have a grave cost associated with it.  Being reliable to the self means that we communicate to those around us of our needs to accomplish our goals which will always include time to care for yourself as you care for others.

Be reliable to yourself and you will also be reliable to others through clear communication which will bring about ultimate wonderful results.  When you make yourself a promise, follow through. If that promise is to loose weight then do so.  If that promise is to change something that you are not happy with, then do so.  Anything you are not completely satisfied with, change it because this is your life, your world and your right.  Be as reliable to yourself as I see you being with others and the rewards for this will be beyond your wildest imagination.  

Being self reliable does not mean that your needs are above any other.  Part of being reliable is being available for others but not the most important part.  Imagine, sweetheart, if you were in the process of self care and saw a horrible event happening?  Should you ignore that event or interrupt your own process temporarily?  This will be completely your choice, of course.  Will you feel that you have reliably fulfilled your own personal mission if you do not address the situation?  This also is reliability because, knowing you as I do, it would be very hard to live with doing nothing.  Here, you are reliably adhering to your own personal principles.

Reliably keep to your own principles regardless of what others around you are doing.  The others may simply not understand that they are being unreliable to themselves.  If you are tempted to adopt principles contrary to your own then remove yourself from that company and continue along your search for others more like yourself.  This does not give us the excuse to be mean or disparaging to any other.  As you realize the importance of being reliable to yourself, your life, your belief system, your principles, a self confidence emerges which realizes that different is no better or worse than any other. 

Well, you have reliably taken care of your body.  It is happy, fed and ready to start the day.

Go get em, tiger... the world is waiting for you.
