Power of Realisation – part 3…

Hi everyone,

Almost at the end of my 1st week in Melbourne already, how the time just keeps moving along – that was one of my realisations this week. I know we can all feel the fastness of time and though we may say from time to time “where does the time go?” – I could not help but notice the speediness of this week. I’ve also realised what a wonderful transformation there has been in my relationship with my mother – though she now can’t remember from one minute to the next – I’m enjoying my time with her (while my siblings get a well earned break). I can’t help but feel that this welcome change has been possible through consistently working on transforming myself. I’m learning to not take personal, the opinions / judgements of others – what others think of me has nothing to do with me (it’s none of my business) – thus leaving space for healing, love and kindness 🙂

I also realised that no matter what color our skin and no matter what color our hair – at the end we all become grey. This may sound obvious, but the realisation of “why worry – it has to happen” is wonderfully liberating. It reminded me of a motto I used to work with to get through some very lonely times in my life, and had forgotten to practice it – ‘we come alone and we leave alone’ – this helps me to detach in a loving way (not to cut ourselves off but rather, to live with others without expectation and worry. This way I can love without fear of losing anyone or anything, instead I can simply enjoy and appreciate ‘moment’s in life without clinging onto them. Understanding that there’s a reason and a season for everything saves a lot of attachment and consequent heartache for all 🙂

Here are your contributions – once again amazing, powerful and ever inspiring – thank you 🙂

— Many realised and reminded themselves that everything happens for a reason and that there is benefit in all that is happening – that it’s all accurate and to not allow themselves to get caught up in the drama – to let go…. (This is amazingly powerful)

— Realising how envy can consume people, ‘making them do destructive things’ – to not buy into the insecurities of others but to rise above it…. (This is great 🙂

— Many realised (or at least reminded themselves) that they can’t control others, only themselves, enabling them to let go of explaining (make others understand) or forcing their opinion (which often happens when we want others to understand)… (Very liberating, as we let go of contradictions in our own attitude)

— Realising how much they’ve allowed themselves to be rushed by others, pushed by others, bullied by others. Understanding it’s their lesson and learned to find other ways to not allow it in their life any more – without invoking resistance in others… (Wow, this is such a wonderful step toward ‘self realization’ – well done!)

— Realising how much they worried about what others thought of them, enabled them to let go of that worry… (Another huge step forward, excellent)

— Allowing self to constantly ‘spin the discus of self realisation’ stops them from ‘spinning down emotionally’…. (Always a wonderful thing to think about our good qualities – our virtues – which always puts things back into perspective – so wonderful 🙂

— ‘Realisation’ helped with the old question of ‘who am I?’ LOVE, LIGHT, PEACE – keeping our virtues in clear view so to not “stagger on our path”… (Love this!)

— Not worrying about ‘missing out’ and many realising how much they had spent their life stressing about it (unconscious for most)…. (Fantastic!)

— Enjoying the simple things and appreciating this in their life – realising they had been looking for this half their life, but was there all along… (Wonderful – often we are so ‘busy’ in life that we don’t notice the simplicity – instead, complicating our lives, so well done!)

— Realising and accepting that life is not perfect but that there is perfection in imperfection, enables faith to grow and let go of ‘stuff’… (So so wonderful 🙂 

Thanks everyone for your well wishes – regarding my mum as well as my health. Yes, it’s been cold but doing pretty good, focusing more on healing ‘my life’ and moving on – allowing others to move with me or not (their choice) – rather than focus on the cold :)… Have a wonderful weekend everyone and keep up the powerful work, often we don’t realise how close to success we are… so NEVER give up! See you on Monday.

Lots of love, Annemarie
