My first post on my new blog! I'm very excited, especially because I've struggled for two days to get a blog up and running at another blog place..! Had to give in there, and was led here. Much easier! LOL
How is your life these days..? To me it seems that many of us struggle a lot. My first thought now was "That's Life", and it sure is - yet we have to LIVE our ups and downs, right? We like the ups, and often dread the downs..
What do you think the meaning of life is..? Some wrote the other day that the meaning of life is to be happy. Is it, really? I've wondered about that many times - if we are supposed to be happy all the time. If so, why aren't we all just one happy, smiling group of souls walking the surface of Earth?
Happy and content moments are surely much welcome components of life. We need them - to laugh and feel at ease. Feel the flow in our lives and affairs. I believe we seriously need the downs also - to grow, gain perspectives/insights, alter our ways to better our lives - and others' also. To be able to cherish our great moments as well.
There's a big difference in how we react to the challenges though - whether we take it all too seriously, fly off the handle and loose our energy, moods and higher perspectives, or keep a positive frame of mind, and tell ourselves "This too will pass." We all have both ways to react, yet one is stronger than the other. Which one is stronger in you..? To me it depends on how many challenges I have to deal with at once. When I'm exhausted my energy is low, and it's easy to loose the perspective of the fact "This too will pass". For a little while, anyway. The fluctuating moods of Life are constant - and that's the only thing we can count on.
No matter what is bothering you at the moment, just remind yourself: "This too will pass." It will ;)
Much much love to you

the meaning of life means so many things to people.I for one think its a time for learning
ReplyDeleteabout love, hate , empathy , forgiveness and so on.
Life is full of so many things - and there is not one simple answer to it. It's all in the eye of the beholder - like you mention. I believe learning is a key word here. Great comment, stranger :)

ReplyDeleteI feel special . I wrote the first comment!!!
ReplyDeleteAhh.. You're kinda "historical" then, my friend! ;D Cool! And thank you - that makes you special to me.. <3
ReplyDeleteYou are an incredible person Aina. My life is way too serious struggling as a single mom going to school full time and working to pay the bills. What I cherish the most is the little moments like when my kids wanna talk with me at night right when I'm exhausted the most to hit the bed. I take in every moment with them because I don't feel like I have much to give them otherwise. Your postings on FB and now here is like a breath of fresh air! I look forward to many more. -alicia mills

Alicia, thank you! Being a parent is full of challenges, being a single parent is even more challenging because we don't have anyone to share our challenges with.. I know, am a single mom myself. Like me, you can't give your kids "everything they want" it seems - but they have what matters the most: A momma who loves them, and takes the time to listen to them even when you're tired. That's priceless, Alicia! Lots of love to you, dear friend <3
ReplyDeleteAdriana, I'm so happy to hear that! I want to share very personal things here, and how I learn through "the pulse of Life". Hopefully it will help someone, give inspiration and empowerment - and make the souls reading my posts understand that we are more alike than different. By being open and candid an intimacy takes place, and that close bonding, or knowledge of not "being alone" is very important in a world that seems so cold sometimes.. :) Love beams are flowing your way, my friend!
