I often wonder what the future will hold. I have a good friend who is a firm believer in the power of thought and vision. She always tells me that if you visualize something positive with all your energy and rid yourself of fear you can have huge influences on the things that transpire. It all sounds a bit hokey, but I'm starting to think there just might be some truth to it.
Lately, I've been reminding myself that there is justice in the world. At least at some level. Take my ex. I have a good friend that once told me to keep doing what I'm doing and that one day, my kids will take things into their own hands. Now, with the children refusing to see their father for the past 9 months unless he meets on their terms (supervised access), I'm starting to think maybe, just maybe, the universe does balance things out. This is not about me and my negative relationship with my ex. This is about me admiring my children and the way they have been able to empower themselves. I mean, just imagine this... My son often said "watch- one day I will stand up to his bullying". And now, at age 10 and 12, these beautiful children demonstrated the inner strength to stand up to the same bully that I couldn't stand up to when I was 20 years old! They had the courage at age 10 and 12 to make decisions and take actions that I couldn't take until I was 34. Talk about strength. My heros!
I'm so proud and I feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to be their mother. I learn so much from them every day. And I get to come home and laugh and be loved.
And elsewhere in the city there is a man who pushed this very same relationship away. What a loss.
What is it they say? One man's trash is another man's treasure?
Treasure indeed.
So as I sit here and contemplate my future, one of the things I will seriously do moving forward is put value on positive thinking and visualization.
I know what I want- health, happiness, stability, and strength of character.
Positive visualization :)
