Inner strength

There is something rising up inside of me....

I can feel a fire lighting up my heart. Somewhere far in the back of my mind I hear a voice whispering...
Telling me to step up,
Stand out and crawl out of my shell..
Have no fear because  life learned that I am strong enough to overcome anything.

The voice inside me is occasionally getting louder, dying to be heard!
Telling me it's okay to be me,
All me,
The best me I will ever be..
Be proud at the female that because of my mama I turned out be.
Respect myself and don't settle for anyone who can't appreciate my personality!

It's that Inner Strength rising up inside of me..

Willpower!

Let me cut down right to the chase...

This morning I had a job-interview and on my way over there I slipped and fell with my bike because the road was covered with ice. My clothes were dirty and I was going to be late. I felt totally discouraged!
But I had to go to this job-interview and didn't just want to let it slide.
So I called the person who I had this interview with and explained what happened, and told him that I was on my way.
When I got there, I was still shaky from the fall and the interview started off really bad. I didn't know what to say anymore and I froze... It was so terrible!
So I appoligized and asked if I could start over... Luckily for me the man totally understood and as the conversation went on, I started to relax and it was actually a really good job-interview. I was determined to do my absolute best to get this job.
And the best part is... I did get it!!
I could almost not believe it... I really got the job!!

So what I just want to say to you all is that even under bad circumstances, good things can happen!! Just hold on to that willpower and don't let go of your goal! We all know life isn't easy and sometimes it can feel like you never have some good luck... But don't give up just yet, because when you make sure that you keep going after what you want, you will get it!
Ofcourse it's hard work, but it can be done!!!

Good Luck to you all!

Friendship

Friendship is something we must not take for granted...

It's not about how many friends you have, it's not a popularity contest and you should be able to count the real ones on only one hand anyway.
The meaning of a friendship is what really matters.
Those who make you laugh but also let you cry when you feel like it, those who stand by you no matter what, those who lift you up instead of putting you down and give you strenght instead of taking it away.... Those who love you unconditionally...
Those are the ones you should cherish forever!
When you let in that wonderful feeling of friendship, it will increase a more happy life.
Me and my girl are best friends for about 17 years now, and ofcourse we had our difficulties from time to time, but we grew up to be soulmates for life and I couldn't imagine a life without her. There is no one who knows me better than she does and I am very thankful for having her in my life.

So remind the people you care about how much you love them from time to time...
Because time is precious and so is Friendship!

Bless to all.

The power of meditation

Before I talked to you about Loneliness..
Well, today I felt really blue. From the very moment I woke up and opened my eyes I  knew this would be one of those days... And so it turned out to be.
I'm not going to jump into details and go on about it, but just let me tell you it was a horrible day.

Just now I took a shower and decided to light some candles and incense, and put on some meditation music. It wasn't even my intention to meditate, just wanted to relax a bit.
As I sat down on the couch, the first sounds of the music started to fill the room. Slowly the peace flooded in...
I stared at the beautiful images of landscapes, rivers and flowers while the mystic sounds of a panflute embrased me and chased away all those negative energy within.
Relieve came over me...

This all might sound woolly to you but this is how I experienced it.
It was a reminder of the strenght that meditation always had given  me...
And so it also answered the question before about loneliness coming from within.
I decided to start meditation again more often. So I can expand this wonderful feeling of peace and look forward to a happier life :)
As I Wish to you all.

Namasté.

Loneliness?

Have you ever wondered what loneliness is really about?
I mean... You can be home alone, sitting on your sofa with the warm light of your candles burning (as I am doing right now) and feel alone because you are actually by yourself and you miss the arms around you of someone you truely love..
But you can also feel that so very familiar feeling of loneliness when you are in a room full of people that all care about you very much.
So what is loneliness really about? Where is it really coming from?
Could it be that us not being happy with ourselves or the live we are living, is actually causing that feeling?
I have already learned that happiness is coming from within. And when we find inner peace, we will live a much more fullfilling life.
It is really the small things in life that matter.
So could it be that the cure of loneliness is finding inner peace?

From now on I will meditate more and let you know how it turns out :)
