Are You Going Through Life A Chameleon?

Sometimes we pretend to want change and work very hard to convince others we in fact have changed. Usually...we have found a way to blend in; adapting to whatever others expect or want from us. This allows us to remain true to ourselves internally but living a falsehood externally. Most of the time these lifestyle can't be maintained for very long, generally six months or so, based upon experience.

As a human, molding yourself to be what others want you to be never leads to a positive outcome. In fact just the opposite. It can create misunderstandings, mistrust and destroy the very thing you were attempting to achieve in the first place.

If you want to change then muster up your intent and go for it. If you choose otherwise, honesty with yourself and others is the only viable option.

Anyone who has attempted change understands exactly the commitment required to obtain their desired outcome. Change is never an easy path, often fraught with diversions and setbacks. It is like the Universe challenges your original intent and desire, testing your will. Do you really, really, want this? These are the moments weakness can overcome our desire and derail our train.

Sometimes life circumstances require us to be more adaptable. Although it might feel like a better idea to just stay in the moment, perhaps taking a risk or letting go of old parameters, is exactly what is needed.

Be true to your desires and aim toward being your authentic self. Find your nature and nurture it fully. Always remember change isn't easy for those around you to understand and embrace. These are your changes, they may not be on board. Sometimes really decent people undermine the efforts of others trying a new path. Usually fear of forced personal changes fuel their insecurity.

Stay strong in your convictions and work spiritually towards that goal. Remember compassion for those unable to understand your intent. Practice gratitude and ask for guidance along the way.

But...it might just be fun to be a chameleon for a little bit   ...don't ya think?

Problem - Solution

We may encounter what seem like insurmountable problems in our life when working toward our goals.

Reality may not measure up to our expectations. Often we simply give up and walk away feeling like we have failed, or that others failed us.

At times it is human nature to make mountains out of mole hills, due to frustration. We lose focus on our original intent.

During these difficult moments, look for the simple solutions presented before us. Perhaps, we need to take a longer path to get where we want to go.

Maybe you find out, you really weren't committed to it in the first place, and find a new direction to follow.

Assistance might be needed, to clarify your goal, or help achieve it. We seem to always think we can do things by ourselves; once in a while, a partnership is required to get what you want.

Then sometimes, the Universe simply presents what we need, if we simply focus on something else for a moment.

It's A Jungle Out There!

Have you noticed this time of the year people are more easily irritated? Perhaps it is the constant cold wind, or the lack of sunshine, or the economy, or....plug your own reason in here.

Patience is lacking, smiles have all but disappeared. Common courtesy is even more scarce. Negative energy is pouring out all over. It is almost enough to turn even you into some unrecognizable beast!

The cure for the above malaise is so simple, however not always easy to take...a good dose of humor. Laugh, see the silliness all around, learn to enjoy the stupidity. Stop taking yourself seriously. People really aren't out to get you, they just need to vent.

Be part of the solution...not part of the problem. Chill out spiritually and let go of self-righteousness. Offer a hand to those in need. Smile at those filled with frustration. Say "hello", "thank you", to your fellow man.

Simply refuse to live in a "jungle"....and laugh! The sun will be back before we know it.

And, as my brother Gary told me upon returning from Viet Nam...."stop taking life so seriously, we don't get out alive anyway".

Note: Only in human form, spirit lives forever!
