The Rip Theory






So often we have days where it's hard to even breathe. The very life that is inside us is so heavy and we are weighted down with the woes of it and what lies ahead. I've said to my wife often that today we need to use the rip theory as today is not a diamond but a stone!

The rip theory is as simple as this " when you are in the ocean, waves crashing and the water turns cold beneath you, the undercurrent pulling and tugging at you - don't fight it - let go....

Go with the current, let the rip take you out a little further to where it is safe and the struggle stops, otherwise when you fight it, exhausted you will drown. It will overwhelm you and consume you, zap every ounce of energy from your already weary frame. Just go with the flow - eventually it will stop and you will be safe and just wade yourself back into the shore"

Be a survivor and not a victim, sometimes we lose the battle but this way we will certainly win the war!

Evolve


Do you think that you have evolved as a person, say from ten years ago? or as little as three years ago?

What has changed in your life that has altered the way you think, look at life, yourself, your partner and so on. Are you the same person or have you evolved?
Often it takes a life altering ordeal to change our thinking and actions. Our perspective now has been altered, we can see differently and feel differently about life and what we have endured. Whether negatively or positively the perspective is now different to the previous.

The bush fire victims of Victoria this year have a different perspective on life now as to say from six months ago. These people will now be shaped by their circumstances and emotions whether for the negative or for the positive.
Relationships will be held dearer, material things don't hold as much importance as life itself. Fear is a reality and love a necessity for the future of their sustenance to proceed forward and to succeed in this life. Pride and dependencies which existed before will now either be weakened or strengthened by the circumstances surrounding them.
We are all shaped by the events in our lives and the environments we live in or work in. By the very friends we associate with or by the very things we see around us, smell, taste and touch around us. It all has an effect on who we become.

We need to be shaped and fashioned as steel is in the fires of life and come out of these refined and useful tools in the hands of family, friends and society.
You can allow every decision you make today alter and shape the person you are for the better whether its only momentary or life lasting, you still can choose to renew yourself!

The human condition

"a problem is a matter proposed for solution"

May you find solution before eradicating the cause - SELF!

The human condition is one of total spirituality, yet caught up totally in the flesh. From birth to the moment of death, life is a battle of the will and emotions, the flesh and the spirit good and evil!

I have found and chosen the solution rather than being defeated by the cause. Often if we cannot fix the problem then the resolve is to remove the cause.....
