As I picked my card of the day this morning "Have Faith" and I recieved a "Tweet" from a good friend who said she had just pulled her card for the day "Trust" I decided today to write about not giving up!
As Peter Gabriel sings,"It is so strange the way things turn" sometimes life throws us a curve ball when we're least expecting it!
Not to talk politics (This is an election free zone) Even Gordon Brown experienced his own man made curve ball yesterday!
Whilst thinking about the topic of "Don't give up" I was reminded of a quote from Harriet Beecher Stowe the American abolitionist and author.
"Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn".
It is at that point when we may think," What's the point?" that we may be closest to the breakthrough we're looking for!
I'm not saying that its always easy to "Have faith" or "Trust" as the cards of the day suggested, sometimes it takes real effort to remain true to our positive thoughts.... but thoughts do become things, as I've often said. So by focussing on the negative, by bringing your attention to lack, the universe has to respond accordingly, bringing more negativity and lack into your awareness, the superconscious mind has to deliver that to you, as an act of preserving sanity!
So no matter what curve balls my come your way today, rise above them. Focus on all the things your grateful for, even noticingthe very smallest thing you're grateful for, will shift your focus away from "Giving up" then just.......
Start by doing what's necessary;
then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible
A great peice of advice from St.Francis of Assisi.Worrying never solved a problem, but positive attitude and possitive action sure will take the momentum out of any hurtling curve ball!
Albert Einstein, gives these three pointers
:
1. Out of clutter, find simplicity.
2. From discord, find harmony.
3. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
I know you may be thinking it's all well and good for you Lisa, you're Miss Positivity personified...... well even positivity experts have those curve balls fly at them from time to time!
Life has to give you experiences in equal measure, you may call it the good with the bad, the ups with the downs, its all part of the journey.... without the awareness of what we don't want, how can we identify and manifest what we do?
So I urge you today,if there's any area in your life where you feel like "Giving up"..... Don't take my advice, take the wise words gifted to you by the greats!
St.Francis and Albert....
Until next time,
make every moment count,
Lisa xxx
Faith is the bird that sings when the dawn is still dark.
