Be Still And Know

I read the blogs and social media sites of my friends and those whom I am connected to.  I read posts, blogs and entries that on Monday say they are going on a date.  Tuesday they went to a movie.  Wednesday they had lunch.  Thursday was a great day just hanging out.  By Saturday they are dating and all the world is right.  When I check in on Monday life is horrible and that person is the worst person in the world.

There are so many lessons here, I don’t know where to begin.  A few things come to mind, and not in any order.  You are beautiful.  You are loved.  You are worthy.  Just the way you are.  That means with or without someone.  You don’t have to be in a relationship to be happy (we just need to convince the media of that now…)

Likewise you don’t have to be single to be happy either.  Many couples ARE happy with themselves and being with each other.

Happiness is a big word to try and define (for the sake of this blog entry) and I will just say if you are a person who spends a lot of time focusing on trying to find the next Mr. or Ms. Right, perhaps it is time to realize that you are really seeking Mr. or Ms. Right Now AND maybe it is time that you focus some of that time, energy and resources on taking care of you first.

Maybe it is time for you to get to know yourself a bit more before you ask anyone else too? 

I am reminded of a song that comes to me when I need it… “Be still and know that God is God. Be still and know that God is God.  Be still and know that God is God.”  That song can be used for every human being…  just the act of being still changes our ability to hear, think, grasp, learn, grown, hear…

We can be the change we seek in this world, and in ourselves.  One day.  One journey.  One person.  One moment of being still at a time.
