Put yourself first..

I am actually not traveling and not buzzing around on this beautiful Saturday morning for a change. This is a rare weekend for me to have alot of time to just myself and just to think about what lies ahead over the next 11 months of 2009. I have been having alot of 'input' from others and discussions over how to live our lives and how to navigate through it all. Everyone wants to know what your life plan is and how they fit in. But first I feel you have to try on to see what fits for yourself first and foremost.

I use to think that putting yourself first was a very selfish thing to do and from some peoples perspective it is just impossible. I don't see the impossibilities in life but rather the possibilities, that is where I tend to 'hang out' in my mind.I know that this drives others around me crazy sometimes, however I respectfully don't care to be like the masses. I strive to think outside the box and see what lies in the positive, light realm of life. Sure there is darkness there that we embrace but we don't need to set energy depleting patterns that take away from the gift of life. It is easy to be stuck and to look at things from only one perspective. That is the easy part and the frustrating part. But for one day I ask all of you to try to look at your life with new eyes. What is it that you need to take care of yourself first and foremost and then only you can truly take care of the others that need you in your life. This isn't about jumping from one relationship to another or from one job to the other or even moving locations. This has nothing to do with anything outside of yourself. But from what sits deep within. Quiet the mind and the heart and just listen for a change. You will be amazed at the answers that lie within yourself. And this is how we can put ourselves first without straying from being true to ourselves or others.

In gratitude
