Passing Time

We tend to go through this life in a hurry, barely slowing down for anything. Meals are even a rush, as we are always trying to keep up with the daily tasks and expectations for ourselves, so the days just zoom by. Before we know it, another year has gone by. Another holiday is around the corner. We have aged and still haven’t reached many of our goals or experienced many of the things we had hoped to by this time in our lives.

Time is not an object.

Time is not something we can earn back.

Time is steadily passing us by, as we hurry and hurry to get nowhere fast.

As we watch our children grow, or see the skin on our faces change with time, we look back and think about all the things we had hoped to do with our lives. We think about the experiences we have had, and the time we hope that we have left. Maybe this changes things a bit, seeing how time isn’t slowing down, but our bodies really would like us to.

Time doesn’t wait for us to decide to be more patient.

Time does not tell us we better hurry up and accomplish our goals.

Time does not stop and go backwards so we can fix past mistakes.

There is an unknown amount of time for each of us. We are not given a choice to stay or go, at any age. We must make the best of this time that we have. It is up to us how we spend our time, in this life. We can spend it rushing through or we can spend it moving a bit slower and enjoying it a bit more. You choose.

Time is what you make it.

Time is on you side or it isn’t.

Time is passing by…

How will you choose to spend the rest of it?

Nature Teaches Us

Love yourself more

Freedom

Why is freedom so hard to imagine?

We want to be free to think and to live the way we want, yet there is one thing after another that locks us into submission to continue to think and live within boundaries of fear and self-criticism.

Being human is limiting, but we are more than that.

Having a mind and a consciousness creates a messy situation, as we constantly search for something or someone to believe in.

Why not look to ourselves and see our endless potential?

Why, instead are we seeking outward support or guidance which ends up limiting us to their opinions or limited beliefs?

We are not these bodies.

We are not these minds.

We are spirit.

We are energy.

We are endless and are capable of more than we allow ourselves to believe.

Government, church, religion, so much has corrupted us…

So much has brain-washed us into believing that we are limited.

Look to the birds, when you feel stuck.

Look to the birds when you feel less than capable.

Look to nature when you feel trapped.

Look to nature when you feel disconnected from yourself.

You are free.

You are all that you want and all that you hope to be.

It is all within you.

Simple Things

Sometimes it’s the simple things that keep us moving forward.

Sometimes it’s just the sun shining on a chilly, wind blowing day.

Maybe it’s a simple cashew milk latte, and a blanket on the kitchen floor, coconut oil on your skin while soaking up those healing sun rays.

Whatever it is, find it, live it, give it your love.

Get that little bit of simplicity to help you fill your cup.

Different

You weren’t created to be the same.

You were created to be you.

You are unique.

You are special.

You have a reason for being here that requires you to be how you are.

How would you like a forest full of trees that were all the same?

That is not ideal…

How would you like it if there was only one flavor of food, or one type of coffee?

That would not be very enjoyable.

Just as there are many different species of trees, many different flavors of foods, and so many options for coffee, you are a not like any other.

You are different, in a way that you are perfect for what you are here to do.

Different is not always looked at to be a word we like to use for ourselves, but different just means not the same as the rest.

We are all different

In that way, we are the same.

Unique, special, different, and full of purpose.

Remember that you are important.

You have a purpose.

You are here for a reason.

Thank you for being you.

Self-Talk

You are doing good.

You are pushing hard.

You are taking time to rest.

Your dreams are worth living.

Rough Beauty

Learning can be simple.

Learning can be tough.

Growing can be easy.

Growing can be rough.

Nature makes it look simple.

Nature makes it look easy.

Growth is beautiful.

Learning is living.
