Realisation

Realisation.

   I have a wonderful family, a job, a place to live and now, an incredible partner, but it seems that no matter how good I am or how much I do for others I always seem to get the short straw! I have had to struggle and fight for the life and mentality I have now. Without any of the difficulties I wouldn’t be the way I am today so for that I am grateful. I am lucky to have found a point in life where I am a very positive person, I pride myself on being able to bring a positive spin to any situation but this hasn’t come about easily. It took a lot of realisation and understanding to really appreciate what I have and who I am. I made a life decision to be happier and here I am today.  This attitude to life has to start from somewhere; it has to come from some form of awakening you experience that suddenly opens the world up in a brand new way.

  Mine came when I sat in the fields back where I grew up. As I sat amongst the long grass, in the hazy summer, listening to life go by it hit me. That was it, my heart fluttered and my stomach began to do somersaults but I finally felt complete. I had had an awakening like never before. My meditating in that field had been what I needed to make me realise how lucky I am to be part of such a beautiful world. This was my stimulus and from then on I have used the countryside and nature as my grounding. Whenever I feel low or I’m finding life hard just sitting alone in the peace and quiet brings back what is important to me.

  The realisation of a situation is vitally important to helping you gain a better understanding on what you want from life and how you can fulfil this.

Significance.

How can we start again?

A fresh start.

  Look at your life. Are you happy? Truly happy, not just face value but deep in your heart and soul. It’s easy to become settled into a routine, a running order in your life but is this the key to being completely happy? New starts can come at any moment in time, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a new year, a new month it could simply be a new day. It is different for everyone and this is why this world is a fascinating place to be in, as everything and everyone is evolving and changing at alternate times. Be grateful for change and embrace it, no matter when it happens. It doesn’t have to be a forced change it could also be abrupt; but each comes with a blessing, sometimes in disguise. For some things the alteration may only be slight yet for others it could turn the world on it’s head! Either way, they have been brought to you for a reason. It is how you deal with change that shapes the person you are. The blessings of every change vary in each circumstance and you may not realise what you have gained until years after.

  To really achieve a fresh start you must take small steps to gain the life you have always wanted. The key to success is to remember to follow your heart. If it makes you happy and does not jeopardise the happiness and well being of someone else then there is no reason not to go on. By taking baby steps you are not applying too much pressure on yourself to become a superhero over night! Little achievements spur you on to do more and so on. As long as you are honest with yourself and what you want, you can’t go wrong. But remember; it’s better to have tried and failed, than to never have tried at all!
