There is no why.

 

 

For some reason lately I have had several people ask me why they are going through the troubles they are going through.  And each time all I can think of is the quote in the image above. 

 

We all repeat the well known saying of "Hindsight is 20/20".  However when we are knee deep in the muck we cannot seem to remember that after we get out we will better understand why we were there in the first place. 

 

What I have learned from this is to not ask why.  It is purely a waster of time, energy, and other resources. 

 

Take the test life has given you, and you will receive the answers in due time, in divine time.

Fear Is Just An Indicator!

Yesterday I was helping out a friend with some of her worries and fears, and I asked her...

"Do you think people would pay me to advise them in life like I do you?"

She said, "You'd be an awesome life coach!"

I then started to share with her my fears.  "My ego says, who are you to be a life coach?"

She then asked, "Well Lisa, Who are you?"

I cried. 

It isn't the fact that I do not know who I am, but in that very moment I realized that I do know who I am.  I know that inside me lives all the greatness that ever lived!  That it is inside everyone.  But I was still scared.

It is not a bad thing to be scared.  Actually think of it as the indicator of life.  When something scares the shit out of you... That is what you need to do! 

So I took my fear and turned it into those twenty seconds of brave courage! 

Now I have two coaching clients.  They are not paying clients, but someday I will have them. 

Everyone has to start somewhere and this is my where.

The lesson is...

Fear is just an indicator, and to move past it with action and on the other side of it is where all your dreams are!  So take that leap!

Recieve When You Need, Give When You Can.

When I first arrived in Calgary, I had no money at all well...less than $2

I was walking around and these tourists asked me to take a group photo of them.

We started talking, and through our conversation the guy figured out that I was broke, and gave me $40!!

I was shocked, and I graciously accepted...he said "just pay it forward"

 

So later on I was walking around and saw an old lady collecting bottles and cans and I walked by her...then I thought...  I could give her something...  I would have been extremely happy if that guy only gave me $20...  so I gave her half she was Chinese, and could barely speak English, but we had a little conversation, and I loved her :)

 

The End

 

I learned that...

 

My whole trip from Ontario to Alberta I was broke, and I was happy...  Everything was being provided for me.

 

With $40 I had more than I needed, and the $20 I gave her probably made a difference to her. She was very grateful, and it felt good to give back after receiving so much over the past week.
