Recent conversation with a Blogger...


Recently in a discussion about life struggles and how to handle them, one person wrote:


"In life there are highs and lows but when the lows start to out weigh the highs, that’s when life starts to become a strain and very hard to enjoy. For example more arguing in a marriage than anything else, the heartache a mother gets when her child decides on a path that she know will destroy him or her and list goes on. These are things that can cause you to be very bitter, stressed and have no peace. Sometimes, you can not find a solution; Can you attest to what I’m talking about? and what would you do to bring some peace of mind in your life?"


Life brings us all types of challenges, some good and some not so good. While reading the response above from the Blogger for the first time, I thought to myself, this person is seeking answers. Answers many times, lie within us. We must quiet down, find your calm place (possibly in meditation, yoga, wandering, classical music, etc.), even for just a short period of time and allow our minds to rest and listen, for the answers will come. For some, its seeing it written down which brings us back to journal writing. The journal is unbiased and objective because it will only show what we have put into it. If we have put in a little, we will only come back to a little and the same for when we purge our thoughts onto paper, we come back to a time and period that reflects whatever it is we are experiencing. For each, the approach will be different but do whatever it is that consciously gets you to a place of calmness and peace so that that the answers can come. Answers truly do LIE WITHIN us!
