Now We Will Count to Twelve

And now we will count to twelve
and we will all keep still.
For once on the face of the earth
let's not speak in any language.
Lets stop for one second
and not move our arms around so much.
If we were not so single-minded about keeping our lives moving
and for once could do nothing
perhaps a huge silence
might interrupt this sadness
of never understanding ourselves.
And of threatening ourselves with death.

Perhaps the earth can teach us
as when everything seems dead
and later proves to be alive.
Now I'll count up to twelve
and you keep quiet and I will go.
Pablo Neruda

Are you a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime?

Pay attention to what you read. After you read this, you will know the reason it was sent to you! People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experienceof peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

AFFIRMATIONS: THE QUEST FOR LIFE'S WORK

I am now willing to see the vision of my life's work

Whatever fears or blocks may have kept me from seeing my work in the past are now dissolved
by my desire to know and be my very best.

I am open to receiving the vision of my life's work easily and with joy. I now receive it.

I am willing to accept this vision and promise to be responsible to and for it.

Having seen the vision of my life's work, I trust that it will continue to reveal itself more fully to me as time goes by.

I am confident of my ability to manifest the vision I see.

I boldly take each and every step necessary to make this vision manifest.

My strongest talents and abilities are now made clear to me. I accept and embrace them with gratitude.

I am happy that I am a unique individual, endowed with unique talents and abilities.
I never spend my precious time and energy comparing my talents with those of others.

I like me, and I like being who I am. I am glad I have the talents that I have, and I use them wisely in service to others.

Each and every day it becomes more clear to me how I can best apply my talents to my life's work.

The more I focus on my desire to achieve the vision of my life's work,
the more my talents become clear to me and the more effectively I use them.
