How do you like your life?

"How do you like yer possum, Lowell, fallin' off the bones tender or with a little fight left in it?" ~ Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies

I just love granny, she took no prisoners! She was a little person with a lot of spitfire. She knew what she liked, what she didn't like, and she let everyone know it. She listened to her gut and wasn't afraid to speak her mind. A simple person, with a lot of heart. :)

When we are growing, we know what we like and dislike and are pure of heart...but sometimes something happens along the way, we listen to others...and sometimes we keep listening to others, and their beliefs and their ideas and their opinions, to the point that their opinion and feelings matter more than our own. We can't think for ourselves. We may be conditioned to go with the crowd, instead of with our own inner flow :). Sometimes it's just easier that way, then we don't have to figure out how we feel, or stand in our power and fight for what we believe in.

But then after giving our power over to others for so long, we start to develop physical issues. Most of the time when you give others your power, you start to have stomach and digestive problems, when you give someone else your voice, or you don't speak up for yourself, you develop throat issues, your feet start to hurt because you're not being supported. When you deny yourself vision, you get headaches...it's because inside your spirit, your essence is wanting to be heard, and your physical self is denying it that ability...you have created blockages inside yourself because you are impeding your own natural life flow.

But it's reversable. Just start to do the opposite of what you have been doing. :) Look at yourself, good and long and hard. See you for who you really are, a person deserving to be heard and start peeling those layers off, start respecting yourself, your feelings, your opinions, and while loving and respecting others too, keeping your Self in tact.

It takes work, but I ask you, would you like your life falling off the bones tender, or with a little fight left in it :) Whatever you decide IS your choice. Much love! Jill
