I am stuck at an airport on route back to JHB after spending time with family for Xmas. Been very reflective as a result of being so close to closing out 2011. Some things I will take note of going forward that I believe that most of us should give a try:
- Be curious with any situation! This seems so simple but it is a great practice. When you curious, you are open, when you are open, you are ready for deeper understanding. I have realised how my judgement this year has caused me to miss out on some amazing adventures. So I am taking the plunge to be more curious as I venture on
- Surrender it all! Control has been a strong theme in my life the past year. And with all this hard work and control, the idea of surrender was never an option. The truth is that we really do not control anything for very long. All we have is our choice and access to wisdom to guide us along the way. So it is realising that we can surrender to a higher power and go along for the ride trusting in our ability to make the right choice and taking inspired action
- Deepen your understanding of healthy boundaries! There is something to be said with having healthy boundaries. I realised that I personally have not quite got the balance right. I am either too aggressive or too accommodating without much in the middle. So for me, I get that it has something to do with my internal filters on what is truth and not truth for me and how I allow others to treat me. Work in progress!
- What have you done to make you feel proud? Imagine asking yourself this question every night before going to bed. If you are really serious about living your best life, this question would allow you to understand how close you are living and expressing your highest joy and passion. This is something I am going to add to my gratitude practice.
- What is neglected will find a way to get your attention! Life has a way of getting your attention for the important stuff that you neglect. And the more you ignore it, the more elaborate, aggressive and louder it becomes. So be willing to be curious and listen to what life is bringing to you in terms of messages of wisdom
