Hello Readers,
It is very easy in the rush of things to overlook people close to us. We complain that we are always too busy, rushed off our feet, no time to grab a moment, but these are all excuses, not reasons to keep in touch with someone we care about. Then I hear the moans and groans that those people do not keep with us either, so they are just as guilty. What I do know for sure is that our lives can change in a split second. One telephone call, sudden news, an accident, a life changing experience where someone needs to turn their life around, but without love and support, the prospect of getting through the prospect can seem terribly daunting. Are you telling me that you have never experienced any form of trauma or difficulties that you felt were unbearable to deal with alone? None of us are islands. Yes, we do discover who our true friends are in such perilous situations, but at least this way you are also able to syphon off the deadwood whilst you are at it.
The more time we put into our relationships, with children, siblings, parents, friends etc., the more we will get out of them, but it has to be you that instigates the first move because that way you are taking personal responsibility and control for your own actions. It does not matter one jot what other people do. Their choices, their consequences. It’s what you do that matters that carries some meaning. Your actions carry the most clout and if you are there for loved ones and neither they will not forget that it was you who pulled out all the stops, re arranged your busy diary and schedule during their darkest hours of need.
Become incredibly successful and handling your life, at processing guilt, because you won’t have any if you have made the first move, like writing, phoning and staying in touch. These gestures do not cost money, they cost time, that? all. No matter how busy your life is, you have to start as you mean to go on and make some quality time before it’s too late, because life is very short. No one lives forever. No point living with regret because one day your loved ones may not be there anymore and then you will so desperately wish you’d actually listened and offered your services, but then it’s too late. Give your time willingly, not as a chore. Do this with dedication, commitment and wholehearted enthusiasm, or don? bother doing it at all. If what you have to offer and give is not from the heart, it’s not worth anything. This is an important time to stay true to yourself and do your very best not just for others, but for you too, because at the end of the day, you are the one who has to live with yourself knowing the truth.
Until next Week,
Linda and The Lulas xxx
