Let go of the people who cause constant pain; let go of the negativity that colors a room more darkly than any coat of paint. Keep close the people you love, the ones who stay engaged and open to life, who bring joy and peace to the house and garden. ~ Dominique Browning
Today needed something... something more. I went out to the garage and dug out a book I haven't opened in several years. It is a book by Sarah Ban Breathnach called Romancing the Ordinary - A Year of Simple Splendor. The book is overflowing with wonderful little ways to choose a more joyous life. The message is to "romance the ordinary", and gain an extraordinary existence out of an "ordinary" life. I highly recommend it.
In flipping through the pages I came across the quote listed above, and it was exactly what I was looking for. It was the something more that I needed today. The message behind this quote is one that I have been working on realizing for several years now in my own life. Today I choose to it all over again.
Every day we are handed an unending list of options, of choices with which we will create our day. From the moment we wake in the morning, to the last conscious thought at night... our day is full of choices. Every breath is an opportunity to either embrace something, remain neutral, or let it go. With every decision, we have the opportunity to create more balance and peace within our souls.
What kind of people do we choose to surround ourselves with? Do they contribute to the beauty in our life? Allow us to breathe easier, speak more openly and honestly, and accept and love us unconditionally? If not, then now would be the best time to, "Let go of the people who cause constant pain; let go of the negativity that colors a room more darkly than any coat of paint."
Imagine a brightly lit room filled with people... laughter and joyous voices fill the air. Picture a shadow falling across the wall, falling across the crowd... The voices hush... the light is gone. There is nothing quite like the damage that can be done by an energetic vampire. These people literally suck the energy out of their victims, and leave them empty and joyless. Beware of these people, and the negativity they thrive on and spread.
"Keep close the people that you love, the ones who stay engaged and open to life, who bring joy and peace to the house and garden."
What type of people do you draw into your life? Just as each of us is elementally unique, we will be the most benefited by different personalities according to our individual makeup.
Vatas would be best supported by a stable, dependable, centered and grounded friend. One who will bring them back to reality when they have strayed too far in the airy ethers. Pittas need a similar friend, but additionally one with a very patient, reasoning quality, for the times when Pittas temper flares. Kaphas would be complemented by a fiery, energetic person, one who will motivate and encourage them out of stagnant stillness into accomplishing their goals. Embrace these personalities in your life. They will support you in the areas you need it most.
Lastly, of course the question lies within you. What type of person are you? Do you cause constant pain and spread negativity with your presence? Or are you engaged and open to life?
Ready to choose joy and peace today and every day... I invite you to create an extraordinarily beautiful experience out of the ordinary moments of today.
