Before it's too late..


Sitting comfortably in a burning house


Being fed, clothed and sheltered


Your friends try to warn you


"This house is on fire, we need to leave"


But you resist because you're comfortable


The people in flame retardant suits have made you comfortable


So you thank them and worship them for keeping you comfortable in a burning house


Your friends start planning to leave and urge you once more


"I really think we should leave"


You get angry


"How could you insult those who have tried to make us comfortable?!"


"But the house is burning..you're going to burn with it"


"Then let me burn with it!"







Then the fire reaches you..all of a sudden the things that brought you comfort become useless in the face of adversity


You search for your friends who tried to warn you but they are long gone


You have two options


Fight for your life or surrender and burn








Either you make decisions based on the warning signs or make life "easier" by waiting until you only have two options: fight or surrender.

I Do

I was having an issue with a friend of mine when I remembered something I've read and seen countless times; whenever you're riled up about another person's actions, be sure you're not reacting to something you see in yourself. After much thought about the issue, I came to the conclusion that my friend, with all their wonderful intentions, was acting from a place of subconscious thoughts and pattern and their actions were more likely to reflect those than their intentions . There was a disconnect. I checked in with myself and realised I was guilty of the same thing. I tried my best to show that part of me compassion and I soon became a little more forgiving, understanding and patient with my friend. Conscious, deliberate action. That is the theme that came to me this morning and has stuck with me and I'm sure will ring in my mind throughout the course of the next few weeks. There are 4 phrases that I think are very helpful to refer to when looking to make cha...

Little Big Lessons

Let's see if I still know how to do this. Thank you for your patience, if you've been wondering when next I was going to drop a lil sumn sumn. I wanted to wait until I had some profound thing to share but the lessons have been coming in like raindrops, so it's hard to keep up. Also, something being profound is usually in the eyes of the beholder. So maybe there'll be a nugget in there for you if need be. Ya girl is pregnant. And this is how I got here: So this journey been one long ass rollercoaster ride. If anything, I've been learning how to say less. So it's been hard to write because I like to explain things in detail but I also want to keep things short and sweet. This period has been about transformation, for me. I feel like it's been that for a lot of people as well. If you've felt stagnant for a long time, or you've been putting off something you think will be life changing, I think the discomfort with where you are has eith...

From Creation to Creator

Image
 In the same way a man must leave the family he came from and go on to create the family that will come from him, is the same way beings on a spiritual path must leave their biological family that they came from and seek their spiritual family. To the families that have created us, we are its creation. And when you are a creation, it assumes a creator, a higher power. So, there is something that has come before you that is guiding what you become, what you are molded into. The presence of a creator assumes something has been created or is being created. We are usually either operating from the perspective of creation or creator. As a child, you are a creation; a living creation; a creator in training. You are being created to be able to create more things. And what are human beings of today creating? The ultimate goal of living things is survival . Are we creating things that sustain our ability to survive on this planet? The next goal of living things is to live . Are...
