Hi Friends, I have not blogged for a bit, but I am back lol! I hope all of you are doing well on your life journey. Today has been.....well it's a monday so you know how that goes LOL...NOT an eventful day to say the least....for the most part. Yesterday I became a certified First degree Reiki Practicenor<spelled wrong lol. Of course by now YOU should be use to my typos and misspelled wording LoL! So back to the course I completed and became certified in as of Yesterday....This Reiki...not only had a very profound effect on me mentally and physically but also spiritually....I feel as if I "woke up" from a long "blinded" sleep...I know this may not make sense to YOU. My point is, I strongly feel this is a GREAT starting board so to speak, to start the POSITIVE change of Lifestyle for myself and gives me a new outlook on certain things.I am not blogging about Reiki as of yet, I just wanted to share a bit about my personal view and change....change takes time in life...especially to try to be optimistic and positive through the good and bad of life. I feel our Intentions are what makes us or breaks us in a way. This is why I am blogging today, to remind and inform YOU that everyone from the famous to YOU, has a LIFE story worthy of being told and shared with others.
You have a LIFE story that is worth telling and sharing with the world friends...
What your intentions in your life, could be shaping everything you are and do. If that is not true in your life then it just hasn’t happened yet. It’s inevitable that at some point in this journey we call life, there will be a life changing event or more than one event. It may be your marriage,a breakup w your spouse, or the birth of your first child, profound religious event, etc. Perhaps it will be overcoming some great personal trial, like a serious illness or life-threatening addiction. For some it could be the loss of a loved one, through death or separation. Often it is the experience that brings you to a faith in God, or that "something bigger" than all of us. You may be thinking, "Well, that’s true, but actually I’ve had more than one such life changing event." Great! Not, "great" in the sense of celebration if any of these events were painful and traumatic, but "great" in the broader appreciation that such events have for stretching us and helping us to experience the fullness of life. You see, we experience that fullness even through loss and pain. Perhaps it is especially through such loss. I have known these ups and downs of life. I had a potential pretty successful radio career at one time. I kept getting better jobs, higher pay and accolades. But when I really grew was when I had the tough challenges of loosing my dad when I was only 16, loosing others I loved, my health issues, family, personal relationships, and my own relationship. I have dealt with career changes and uncertain incomes, all the while working to find a positive honest way to provide for myself and family when they needed. One of the main reasons I think its important in preserving your life story is because in the process you will confront these life changing experiences. You will discover how they affect your beliefs, your actions and the way you view life. Sometimes returning to these memories,even the horrid painful ones... helps you grow. This can be especially beneficial if any of the events in your past are holding you back from truly living life to the fullest. Not only do you owe yourself the benefit of knowing what has most impacted your life. You really have an obligation to share that with others. Humans are not meant to live in isolation. Each of us has something to contribute to others and the world. You may never make world history, be famous or rich or any of the other things the world often tells us are important. However, if your children, your parents, your spouse, siblings, relatives, friends, co-workers and even complete strangers are deprived of any beneficial lessons from your time on the planet then it is a loss for all of us. Testimonies of faith and stories of life’s great adventures are of interest to everyone. You know this is true. Just visit any bookstore and notice the huge number of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs. Keep track of all the movies and television programs that focus on someone’s life story. Open up one of the most influential books in all of civilization, the Holy Bible, and observe how much is devoted to the telling of various individuals’ struggles and triumphs. Even if your not a christian read it as just another book if that's the case. When you decide to record family history, write your life story or help someone else do the same you should always attempt to capture the essence of life and life changing events. Be open and honest with yourself or your interview subject. Certainly be sensitive. The greatest drama in life is there. Our best life lessons are learned from hearing, seeing or reading these stories of others and ourselves. So with all that said YOUR Life story is worth telling and sharing. YOU are special in everyway, you were wonderfully and beautifully made..GOD don't make junk lol.
Well friends, today I am not doing a public affirmation but I will leave you with yet another superb quote by one of my favorite people in the world Ms. Maya Angelou. As always feel free to Follow,share, express, comment, etc, Love to You all! Truly, Dennis
