One of the hardest lessons in life is to know when to let go. Whether it is guilt, loss, love, anger or betrayal change is never easy. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go. We must be willing to sacrifice our limited tunnel vision and fly. When we rid ourselves of limitation, hesitation, or refusal to take right action we can make our lives sacred. We must admit our own mistakes as well as forgive those that have caused us pain, letting go of guilt, shame and blame and begin from love. We must be willing to stand fully in the light.
In order to stand in the light, we must be willing to let go and sacrifice those unhealed parts within ourselves that are no longer in accordance with the sacredness of our being, this would be our shadow side. We should not deny our needs, our refuse our heart’s desire, but rather eliminate the thoughts and actions that keep us from our true happiness. In order to find the balance to support our true self, we have to be willing to preserve the dance of life. We must leave no stone unturned while we clear our least desirable traits, and free our minds of negativity. We will make our lives sacred when we can make our actions of self-sacrifice stand for who we are, where we might be going, how we intend to get there, why we choose our path, and most importantly how we intend to change. Eliminate those aspects of self that cling to limitation and we can reconnect with the universe in all its sacredness. Begin right now in love and peace.
Looking behind I am filled with gratitude. Looking forward I am filled with vision. Looking upwards I am filled with strength. Looking within I discover peace.~Quero Apache Prayer

Isn’t it interesting how if we are willing to listen, we are able to receive? It is a practice to be quiet enough to listen, one I work on each day. Thank you for your kind words.
