Something I wrote a while ago on another part of the interwebs, I will delete it there but wanted to keep it here as a reminder. It was written on: 24 February 2011 at 17:23
Life might throw another curveball at you when you least expect it. I’ve become a good catcher over time and my hand signalling has immensely improved since I took control that way. Running away will only get you so far -read: nowhere-, it’s just a matter of time before things will catch up on you. Best to face the unexpected instead, see what lesson you can learn from it and take responsibility for your actions in life.
Things happen for a reason and many times I’ve chosen not to listen to that inner voice that was screaming at me. The harder it screamed the harder I tried to ignore it. Until one day it became silent and I experienced one of those epiphany moments, realising something was wrong. From then on I decided to change my ways and no longer ignore each and every omen that would come to me, good or ‘bad’…
I’ve had many since: all small gifts from the universe. Like a constellation of bright stars that I stare at at night, my personal map pointing out to me where I should go next. It’s in the moment, here and now. It’s the message hidden in those who cross my path and enter my life and those who will leave again. When you let go of negative people and dissemblers, situations, things, then others will appear: the positive kind.
The kind that you wish to embrace, the kind that gives you all the energy you’ll need to grow and shine. The genuine kind. FB is one of these things that is taking energy and hardly returning any. It is the sad result of a society that needs the ego stroking heroin because they’ve forgotten how to listen to their inner voice. Some of my friends have come to the same conclusion and decided to stay away from FB.
I’ve made that decision too -a while ago actually- and will only post every now and then or check on people to see how they’re doing. I need my energy to make my dream come true, I owe that to myself. Things happen for a reason (e.g. bursitis I dealt with). It only means that I should channel my energy more effectively and that something bigger, better and more fulfilling is waiting for me. The universal law of cause and effect.
