Let me just share a small story with you all today.
I had gone
for a walk at a local park this morning. It was a lovely morning though a
bit warm. The breeze was crisp and the lake in the park shimmered and glowed
in the morning sun.
I was just beginning to soak it all in when,
within a few steps, I felt there was something in my shoe. It was a bit
bothersome, so I removed my shoe, did a simple dusting, and tried walking
on.
But something was stuck and kept poking me. I realized it
could have been a stray thorn from my previous visit.
Rather than
trying to remove it right then and there, I tried to ignore it/ thought I
could manage and kept walking on.
But It was getting painful. The
more I walked, the more painful it became and the less I enjoyed my walk. In
fact, it was also slowing me down and kept my focus constantly on the
painful point. I also forgot all about the beautiful scenery around
me.
Finally, I had to stop, accept and acknowledge that I
could not go further until the thorny issue was not addressed. It took a few
minutes to locate it and another couple of minutes to remove it.
But the moment it was was removed, my steps became faster, I
could enjoy everything from the morning dew drops to the excited chirping of
the birds and even my conversations. The morning was beautiful again.
It
reminded me of every situation in life which we ignore, or deny or maybe
even say, "I don't have any time for it now" and try to move on.
The only thing it does is slow us down and keep giving us painful
memories of unaddressed issues. Instead, why not just stop and spend
those few minutes to accept and acknowledge the issue and work towards
releasing it.
The rest of life's journey can get so much faster, easier, and maybe even
more joyful than before. Most of the time, since we are not sure how much
effort it will take to pull out the thorn, we tend to drag our feet (pun
intended) in addressing the issue.
Just stop and pull out the
thorn and see the difference. I can help you do just that. If there is a
pestering issue you want to work on, feel free to get in touch with me. And
I'll help you pull out that thorn.
See you all in the next post.
Ending this post with a prayer to the Universe to shower an abundance of
love and light on all you wonderful people.
