Moving Forward

 

"Moving forward is one of the most important decisions

we can make in life." 

Dr. Peter Nieman

The path of life has numerous zigs and zags. There may be a curve ahead and we find ourselves trusting that we will find a way to peacefully navigate it. With every twist arrives a lesson providing us space to learn. We have the choice to apply what is being taught or continue to muddle along. 

Life is filled with challenges, and we may fear we are unable to face them. This attitude keeps us small, repeating old behaviors that prevent us from living a full life. Perhaps during a snowy brisk walk down nature's path, we can discern what is really at the core of our desire and exactly how we can be manifest it.

If we override our fear and move forward with heightened understanding, our energy is increased. We experience personal empowerment as we step into ignored parts of the self. A sense of becoming whole brings us peace and we feel a stronger connection with all beings great and small.

To Thine Own Self ...

"Moving forward is one of the most important decisions

we can make in life, because it allows us to grow, learn

new lessons, have more energy, enjoying more peace, and

overcome our adversities."

Dr. Peter Nieman

As we color our life, perspectives change and situations shift. We become open to new relationships to stimulate our growth. This is not to say we no longer cherish that which was, but that we are ready to expand. We may be surprised by our longing to explore, finding new discoveries to enhance the life we are living.

One need is to be aware of the right to move beyond current situations without judgment or criticism. The divided emotions we may feel are a part of the growth experience. Moving on does not mean that current friends, teachers or mentors mean less nor does it mean they will no longer be treasured.

We may question our motivations as we travel farther and further. This, however, does not mean that we have acted in error. The process of removing blockages results in a flow of forward movement. Be honest with the self.  Contemplate, and trust what unfolds. Listen to what is unsaid and recognize hidden passages.
