Re: Limited !

I was given the suggestion to post this by none other than gerrerd the great šŸ˜‰ so I thought Iā€™d listen :) We were talking about limitations, and hereā€™s what I said:

The funny thing about the phrase ā€œThe sky is the limitā€ is that we build skyscrapers šŸ˜‚ and there have been humans on the moon, so I believe the sky isnā€™t the limit (but it is a great phrase nonetheless). Thereā€™s a whole universe out there :) Thatā€™s why I like [gerrerdā€™s] post, our only limits are the ones we believe.

I believe that I can be happy, and improve with each day. I believe that even if I slip up, the only limitation is how long I choose to dwell on it. I believe that in those circumstances, if I choose to accept where I am, make any necessary changes and start moving forward again, I can overcome anything :) I believe that the hard times refine us. We were made to overcome, and with each challenge we grow stronger. I believe that together we are stronger, and together we are better equipped to overcome the challenges of life :) thatā€™s why I love HU, people all around the world unite to help one another! This truly is an amazing place :)

In addition to what I said in gerrerdā€™s post, Iā€™d just add that believing does something to the mind. Thereā€™s an element of peace, a source of strength, and a flow of hope that accompanies belief. When you truly believe, youā€™re better equipped to handle anything life throws at you :)

I hope this serves as helpful inspiration, and I wish you all the best :)

I agree completely. Thanks for this sharing wisdom FriendlyDude. Peace. Strength. We CAN become stronger more peaceful. We are becoming more aware. I want to add that there are reminders in life; that there are guides helping us.

" Guides helping us". Can you explain that? I believe I've read about this from a few posts you have made. Can you give examples? I would love to believe in this phenomenon.

Hi Downandout šŸ˜Š This is what Iā€™ve encountered... people who come into my life at the perfect time like earth angels like you or I and I also believe in animal guides. Whenever I see a hawk nearby me I feel it is a reminder that Iā€™m being guided and helped by God, the universe, others. Sometimes the guides come to me to protect in my dreams. It may sound silly to some but to me it is real and helpful. The help can come in any form for you. Sometimes they stand out and other times are wispers

Thanks Starr,So you believe there is something more going on when you see these things. Not just coincidence?

Yup. I do. And even during times when I think hmmm just coincidence, the magic of nature involved is still a deep beauty and hope and of help to me. I keeps me going in awe

Well I never really see things in nature, never hawks, but I do see Cardinals from time to time. But there have been people that I may have met during the years, that I benefitted in some way from ( especially when I might have needed them most).But I still don't know if that's just a coincidence or something more than that. šŸ¤”

I think anything and anyone can help us and teach us even seemingly bad things and bad occurrences. I think you had people come into your life at the right time to help you. One time when I was really bad off with no hope left I was able to focus on a color (a bright lime green) to remind me of life and to help pull me out of a deep dark depression. I font know why I was so attached or in awe of it but the hope I pulled from it saved me. Some will make fun of it but yo me it makes sense. Iā€™ve also had times in the past where I had warnings when danger was around.And I donā€™t know where they came from but Iā€™m always in the lookout for supernatural or extraordinary things. It helps me so much.

Iā€™ve definitely had people become a part of my life at just the right times Iā€™ve needed. In the moment it all seemed normal, and not much more. I believe it becomes clearer as we live longer. When we see our lives from a different lens, we see how the dots connect, how one challenge allowed for a specific kind of growth, how that one person was the perfect fit for that time, and helped us learn an important lesson which prepared us for whatā€™s next. You can see how all the challenges, the people you meet and associate with, and the entirety of life are all connected, and we learn to better appreciate the challenges and people we come across :) and especially the important lessons we learn as we grow and do our best. I believe this is why cultures respected their elders, and considered them wise. Life sure is beautiful :)
