March 2008 ~ What A Difference A Day Can Make
In 2008 I was laid off from an industry that I
had spent 18 years of my life working in and for ~
investing not only my time in hours days, nights, weekends,
some holidays, but my efforts, emotions, consuming
thoughts, and carelessly placed my financial sense of
security in man. Over the years I experienced many
memories of smiles, laughter, stories, resurrecting
patterns of successes and failures and, of course, the
usual "stress".
So one might wonder "why do it at all" if the final outcome
leads to an ending. You can ask that about any thing we
embark upon in life whether it be for love, work,
friendship, family, pets, and even life, itself. We know
that everything eventually will have an ending however it
is something we need to remind ourselves to be aware of in
order to preserve the moment of now. Are we afraid of
letting go or getting closer...is it fear or is it true
love...is it life or is it death...is it real or is it not.
We constantly remain in a swirl of unending thoughts if we
are able to "hear" what is actually going through our
minds, our hearts and our egos, at any given moment.
And if we can hear these moments, I ask you, are you able
to discern whether they are coming from within or without?
Ego plays a somewhat deceiving role in this life because we
may be lead to believe that what we see is real, what we
feel is real, what we hear is real, what we touch and taste
is real. What we earn in dollars and titles, in homes, in
cars, in clothes, in looks ~ is this what life is about?
And yet nothing seems to last in the land of ego.
So what happens when an ending is near or has already come
to fruition? When we can no longer touch or see or taste
or smell or judge for ourselves (based upon the five
senses) then what can we rely on when it is no longer seen
or felt or heard? When the people we care for are no
longer in our lives due to death, addiction, divorce or
decision. What do we feel...what do we see..what do we
hear...what do we do now?
In these moments of suspension we are no longer trapped by
the ego as the ego does not have those answers we so
fervently seek for ~ a way out of pain. Perhaps fear sets
in or arises, faith wanes or waivers. We think we're being
tested by some higher power with the confirmation that
something was wrong or that we have been judged for an
unspeakable act or thought. We did not complete a sentence
of forgiveness in time before the end was imposed upon us.
Did we say our goodbyes? Did I say what I thought, and
meant, and felt ~ or did I just share the foolishness of my
ego as she runs rampant in my life bearing shame, blame,
judgement, and guilt, sharing unworthiness, fear, and
detachment with that person.
The mind of the ego is a terrible place to face alone.
Then I wonder. What will they know of me when I am no
longer here to hear their words, or feel their touch, or
know their genuine feelings. What will they remember of
me? What will they wonder about me? What will they know
about me? What, of me, will remain behind so they won't
forget me? Once again, my ego begins to race.
Then I ponder. I listen. I reflect. I choose carefully.
I set my intentions clearly and begin to work full-time
towards the work I have been called to do instead of what I
was hired to do. The fear subsides in me as I calmly and
knowingly create with every step I take and every thought I make.
The decision was mine to gently move my ego beside me
instead of before me.
Today I listen to the Divine guidance and search for the
soul within as you and I were made in the image of the
Divine. I consciously choose to become the soul that I am
and to encourage my soul to lead in my daily decisions and
conversations. To venture in to an unseen world one that
is unknown to my ego yet home to my soul.
And as I journey through this land ~ I remind myself that
soul was meant to navigate me in this lifetime and not the
ego.
What a difference a day can make...
Enjoy your new day!
