NOTHING & NO ONE CAN HARM YOU UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO ALLOW IT!

Oh - how important WINNING is to all of us.

Recently the statement was made:

No one and nothing can harm you unless you choose to allow it!

What does this statement mean?

In looking into this statement, it almost seemed impossible to fathom. How could this be?

And I realized, unless we seem to be winning in life, then we feel harm.

Unless we can dominate every circumstance of life, our relationships and everything around us, unless we can feel like we are winning - then we feel the opposite - loss.

In my own journey of life, I have felt loss many times. When feeling this loss, it feels like life is out of my hands - as if I have no "power" over anything.

It feels like circumstances are happening to me rather than me being in control of the circumstances.

Winning, or the feeling of winning, gives me that confirmation that I am in control of my life.

When I feel like I'm winning, then the statement of NO ONE OR NOTHING CAN HARM YOU UNLESS YOU ALLOW IT seems to be true.

But when I'm not winning, then that statement feels untrue to me.

So then the question becomes - how to experience that feeling even when loss is occurring?

I need to win - I need to control life - I need to control the relationships around me - I need to make things happen in order to feel that I have power.

The feeling of WINNING, gives that to me.

It has often been said "have no attachment to anything" as you are experiencing life.

Letting go or giving up the attachment to the result of our actions is one of the most difficult journeys to follow -

We want the outcome to be what we "think" it should be!

If that is true, then we will claim with JOY -

Nothing or no one can harm you unless you choose to allow it!

When life seems to be going against us?????????

Is it possible?

How much are you avoiding in your life because you believed you were harmed in the past?

How much effort is being spent by you in order that the past doesn't repeat itself?

Do we need to WIN in life - and is that what gives us the feeling of NO HARM?

LAUGHTER - A HEALING ENERGY

Lately I've been going through a really rough time, but I can honestly say, when life is getting you down - keep laughing.

There may be times when it seems hopeless. There may be times when it is too overwhelming, however, laughter can be as releasing as a good cry.

Through the tough times, I've had to use laughter a tremendous amount. I think at times if I couldn't have laughed, I would have died.

Recently, it's been tough again and a group of friends came to my rescue.

Did they have the standard platitude sayings? The "oh dear" - "we're so sorry".

Did they have the comforting pat on the shoulder?

Did they have the "there, there, dear - things will look brighter tomorrow?"

No - they brought the gift of laughter. Each one of them has a tremendous sense of humour, and definitely the gift of the glib.

It never failed. They got me laughing. As I was laughing, life didn't seem so bleak. Just the very act of laughter can be a huge release.

Picture yourself, like Santa Claus, and your tummy jiggles like a bowl full of jelly.

The next time you are really down, struggling in life - find a group of people like these ones and let yourself laugh like Santa Claus. The full, hardy laugh.

Not a tittering laugh, not a short little giggle - but a full, all out blast of laughter.

Oh Santa - HO HO HO!!!!!!

It's not only good for the soul, it's good for the body.

And life goes on!!!!!!!
