Searching for what?
Have you ever thought about the fact that where YOU ARE is exactly where you are supposed to be?
I bet you’ve not. You’ve been too busy trying to move on, make changes or go back that you’ve never actually stopped to see that this (where you are) is your reality – whether good, bad or anything in between. It is so easy to not recognise, acknowledge and accept our reality.
This is your Life
You might not like me saying this, and I will – this is it, folks. This is your Life. It is simply too difficult and even too painful to come to that place of – this is it!
Stop, Look and Listen
So STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN to yourself. See this YOU from a distance (Psychosynthesis’s concept of dis-identify – step back) and see the reality of you and your life right now. It takes courage to do it and I am so with you in that.
This stepping back and observing yourself is your chance to be honest with you – no more dramas, pretence, what if’s or maybe’s. See it just as it is – no putting the glasses on of glamourising anything – good or bad.
I promise you that when you do this – there is no pretending anymore! You can stop hiding in denial.
Your Life is as it is – no more – no less – right now.
What to do?
My suggestion is that you –
- do step back and look at the reality of your life
- write down what you see and feel about it all
- take the time to reflect on how it is not to be attached to it
- simply observe
- see what you now think or feel about your reality
- ask yourself, ‘Is my reality worse or better than I realised?’
- acknowledge any feelings or thoughts that come up
Why?
You see, in my opinion, when you truly accept what is, you stop searching. You then have the space to see what you have within and without yourself. You then have the inner freedom of choice in your life.
I love the saying ‘Every time I close the door on Reality, it comes in through the window’.
Contact me and we can look at your Reality together! It may be that you have more going for yourself than you realise and for that you can have gratitude.

Thank you, Annette, for commenting and pleased you have found your own way to support yourself xx
Lovely comments from you, Carrie, and pleased it was a good reminder for you xx
I agree when you accept with faith that this is the path and as you say you are where you are meant to be things feel calmer.
I’m feeling much happier living in this way. That’s not to say that I don’t have a wobble, but mostly it’s all good.
Sorry, Jacqui, that my reply is late (computer problems!!) and thank you for sharing where you are – we can enjoy wobbling together!! xxx
