No mirrors and no one around me? A ‘writing out loud’ moment.
If I was on a desert island I wouldn’t have others’ opinions to deal with, I wouldn’t be comparing myself to anyone else, and I wouldn’t make disheartening self-judgments. I’d be living a trial-and-error existence, one of survival and experience and experimenting, always improving and moving forward. I’d be creative and enduring.
If I was on a desert island I’d probably feel moments of dissatisfaction with my progress, but on the other hand I’d have moments of peak joy of accomplishment too. I’d be having ‘inside moments’. I’d recognize my efforts. I’d be creative and enduring.
If I was on a desert island I’d be a spontaneous human being and there’d be no one standing in the wings ready to rain on my parade. I’d make decisions about my life using my own rationale. I’d rely upon my own standard as to the how and why I was making my decisions. My intuition would be a reliable guide and I’d listen. Instincts would alert me because there wouldn’t be the chatter of anyone else in my ears trying to control me. I’d be creative and enduring.
If I was on a desert island I’d have to be self-reliant and alert. I’d learn how capable I am in finding solutions for obstacles. There wouldn’t be the opportunity to blame others, I’d be dealing with myself and nature…the Source of all things, the Creator of what Is and ME. I’d be creative and enduring.
If I was on a desert island I’d be grateful for the sunshine and all the goodness in my life that provided me food and shelter and clothing and a body to wear the clothing, eat the food and enjoy my shelter. I’d be grateful for the peace I could enjoy. I’d be grateful for the hands I had to take care of myself, for my eyes which see the beauty of the world, for my taste buds as I prepared and ate my food. I’d be creative and enduring.
If I was on a desert island I’d be my own entertainment, I’d sing my songs and dance and give thanks. There’d be no thought about what I looked like, but rather, how I felt. I would be asking my heart, not anyone else, what do you want from me today? I wouldn’t need a mirror, I’d be creative and enduring.
Of course, I’m not on a desert island, but I’m brought to myself when I think like this and I’m reminded that essentially, it’s always between me and my Gaya, Source, Creator, Universe. And, there is great comfort in my faith that I am unconditionally supported no matter what I do... there are always lessons to learn, yes, but I am no less worthy or important no matter what’s going on each day. I’m reminded that it is I who create my reality. It is exactly how I think things are that appears in front of me. I am reminded that my conscious awareness is a state of beingness which I create.
In this fast moving world, I can visit my desert island whenever I wish. I am creative and enduring.
When you feel our connection, you feel the blanket of unconditional love and support.
Draw us closer into your heart and know we are with you. ~Gaya
Blessed Be. To All Be Blessed.
Just musing…
One can be on a desert island or any other place one desires to be any time one wishes.
Is there a difference between a desert island and a deserted island here?
Other opinions to deal with, could this not be constructive? Comparing oneself to someone
else does not have to result in disheartening self-judgements. Does life not consist of
trial and error from , which we learn and move forward?
Who among us has not felt sometimes a lack of progress, and the joy of accomplishment, must the
recogniton of ones efforts be tied to ones location?
One could indeed just as well continue to be spontaneous but there wouldn’t be anyone standing in the wings would there be?
Does one need to change venues, so to speak, to make decisions about life using ones rationale
and ones intuition? The chatters could be the voices of reason not given a voice.
Self-reliance, alertness, capability etc, are qualities gained through years of life experiences,
not on a now I have to basis. There would be no others to blame.
Now you’re talking…GRATITUDE
We are capable of being our own entertainment and being thankful for what we have. When ones heart sees the beauty in another heart the question could be “What would you have of me?”
Never stop dancing.
Never stop laughing
Never stop learning
Never stop smiling
Thank you for your response,Pearl. As you said you were musing, I too was ‘writing out loud’ in this blog. As I continued writing, it brought me to my own thoughts, ergo, the completed blog. The point I was making is that it is good to think of oneself as being alone, and then one finds the self-worth and self-fulfillment and confidence that is essential to enjoy the journey and the privilege of living life without the ‘irritants’ and outside influences which can sometimes affect our peace and confident choices. When one goes within (essentially when alone), this is the excellent quiet time where one’s connection to The Power Greater than themselves can be reached. My blogs are merely my own intuited and thought-provoking thoughts to myself, which apparently brought you to your own thoughts, as well.
“…where ones connection to The Power Greater than themselves can be reached.”
Had to think about this one.
The validity of the above statement could depend upon ones religious beliefs or lack thereof.
There is no Power Greater for some of us. I, and countless millions of others , have the power within to attain exactly what is best for our lives. And this is without needing the assistance of a “Power Greater” or a “Higher Power” if you will.
And for those who aren’t aware of the power it is available
I am of the belief that self-worth, self-fulfillment and confidence can be manifested whether
alone or in a crowd. Let me have the “irritants” and outside influences, I want to live life, not be
shielded from it. Being alone can be productive but should not be a refuge from the world.
Again just musing…
When one feels down and out, and they have nothing to look to which they think can support and encourage them, they are left alone, which is indeed sad. On the other hand, if in their humanness, one can consider there could be a Power Greater Than Themselves, greater than their own existence, they can see there is hope that they are connected to this power and they are not in this life alone. I leave you to muse.
