Things I learned in my first 50 years…

… Only I define myself.

… We don’t always get what we want or think we deserve… It doesn’t kill us.

… The worst of times lead to the best of times.

… Eventually we experience it all.

… I AM totally worth it all.

… I AM capable of accepting it all.

… I AM free to give it all.

… We know we’ve grown when we release judgment and embrace it all.

… When we embrace we experience Grace.

… Grace is a wonderful thing.

… Love and adoration cure a lot of ills.

… Overlook the irritating. Focus on the elevating.

… Look for the good and praise it.

… It is ALL about relationships.

… Give. Give more. Give again. Give all you’ve got. Totally worth it.

… Oh! The exception? NEVER Give Up!

Please tell me what you’ve learned!

Of your focused energy?

Will it bring joy, peace, love?

Serenity?

Will it improve the life of a child?

Enlighten the beguiled?

Soothe the wild?

Will it offer civility or increase good will?

If not,

Why

Are you

So

Focused?

Simplify.

To make simple.

It’s that easy.

It’s that hard.

Release the superfluous.

Embrace the essential.

Lose pretense.

Uncomplicate.

Ease.

Clear, pure, open.

Honest, natural, unfeigned.

Intelligent.

Ingenious.

Authentic & engaged.

Illuminated. Passionate. Serene.

Simple.

Ha!

How do they relate?

How are they manifest in my life?

In me?

Many doubt the two can co-exist. Some value one over the other.

Many doubt the two can co-exist. Some value one over the other.

Here’s my take:

I AM a passionate woman. Always have been. I feel in a big way and get big ideas. And I AM compelled to act.

For me, passion without action is just so much hot air.

I do not choose to tell you ‘why’.

I choose to show you ‘why’,

Create ‘why’,

Be ‘why’.

It is through action that passion achieves it’s acme.

Without passion and the ensuing action, I could never find serenity. I would be restless and searching and unfulfilled.

Calmness of mind…evenness of temper…cool, clear composure…and yes, inner quiet and stillness and peace are only possible when I know I have acted, rightly, on my passion.

Serenity is mine when I know I have done what is required.

So, yes…

I AM passionate.

I AM a woman of action.

I AM serene.

I AM!

*Passion — feeling very strongly about a subject or person.
