Indigo Determination

As Indigo’s, we are inclined to bite off more than we can chew.  This often lands us in pain and confusion.  However it is times of pain that allow us to grow.  No matter how bad you may want to throw in the towel and give up, how bad you want scream to the world and check out, it is those times when you have got to not give up, not let the challenges of this world overtake you.  Crawl on on your hands and knees if you must but move forward, trust in yourself and in the universe.  Forget about failure, it’s not an option.  Climb out of the abyss and shine.  It’s what we are here to do.

I read something recently that said “Sometimes the brightest light comes from the darkest of places.”  I think sometimes we have to go to the darkest of places in order to appreciate the light.  I’ve been to hell, I’ve got proof.  I won’t for one moment pretend that I walk a straight line.  I’ve seen and done things that most people are too ashamed to ever admit.  The difference today is that I accept full responsiblity for the choices I have made.  When we learn to accept the consequences for our actions, we can begin to see that life’s lessons are not always easy but they do have a purpose, a greater meaning that helps us grow into more enlightened beings.  Do you want to shut the door and forget about your mistakes?  Would you change the past if you could?  I sure as hell wouldn’t change a thing.

Make mistakes.  Learn from them.  Grow into your true essence.  To struggle is one of the greatest blessings of life.  It may not seem like it right now but we can not have balance without a little pain, can’t produce a rainbow without a little rain.  The moments of peace and serenity in life are only appreciated when we have experienced turmoil and madness.

When Time Stands Still

Within the depths of every human lives an innate ability to love.  Often this ability is in abundance for any given person at any given time.  Just as often it seems to hide from us.  As if it fears the judgment of ego, like a child who fears the dark, peering out from the blanket not sure if its safe to come out.  How then, can one recover their innate ability to love?

 The answers are all around us, if we slow down enough to listen.  Human life provides countless opportunities to fill the depths of our essence. The blink of an eye can change anyone’s world.  With no warning we are often blindsided by monumental moments, moments that cause time to stand still.

 There are small glimpses in time when the planet seems to stop and allow us a privilege to look at what is really important in life.  The privilege is ours if we choose to accept. We can’t deny our free will. So I ask, “How often do you accept the privilege?”

When time stands still, when these brief moments occur, that is when the ego slips under the covers and hides away.  Fear disappears in the presence of love.  Fear and ego simply cannot coexist with love at the same time.  Love turns the light back on, and like the child who fears the dark; the light replaces fear with comfort.

Embrace the silence, soak up the love.
