I read today"Instead of worrying when your next vacation is going to be, maybe you should set up a life you dont have to run away from". True isnt it? We dont like Monday mornings as we dont like to find our way to the workplace. When we find the joy in our jobs and do it with passion then the rewards are endless.
I remember when my boss sold the Company - I was devastated. He sold the Company to friends of his and was quite confident that the culture there would not change. It didnt for a couple years but then things inevitably did. I was not happy there anymore and it showed in how I did my job and how much I got back from it. Over a year or so things changed drastically and my previous boss got wind of all that was happening. He with his kind heart decided to start a new Company and called me. I was one of the first 5 people to resign after being there for 15 years. I did not know anything about salary or how we were going to make it as we had no stock - we had nothing really. All I knew I trusted this man implicitly and I knew within myself we were going to make it.
The five of us that resigned at the time sat around a table in a small office. I still remember my first sale -- it was from a Company that have been with me for years . To cut the story here, we are now the number one promotional items Company in Trinidad after just 2 years. The passion we had inside to make it drove us to do what we needed to do to make it. We enjoyed every second of it and we had love all around us.
I do understand that not everyones workplace is going to be the same - and I do know that we need to have an income to live but what I also know is that when your follow your passion and do it with love then you will be where you want to be faster than you can imagine. I heard someone say not to long ago -- If you want to become a millionaire then help someone else become one :).
Dont worry about the vacation that is needed sometimes - instead set up the life that you dont need to run from and everyday will be a vacation. I smile at Monday mornings. We all have our stress to deal with day in day out sometimes but when your heart sings with the essense of life, when you inhale gratitude and let out peace -- Your world becomes sanctuary ....... :)

Finding your way !
Finding your way is never easy -- following a path that you are comfortable with and the path that takes you away from the judgement of others is very difficult. We were born and then before you know it belief systems was handed to you and we all followed without a question. We were told if we question the wrath will be upon us so we sat back and just followed.
But then one day the search began - the questions that kept nagging at you in your heart had to come out and you start that shift - that freedom within to explore and understand - who am I and what am I here for. We all have this within us but some see it and some choose not to ask the questions. Some find their path and they are contented with what they have chosen.
We were judged based on whether we ask questions or we dont. I live in a world where every religion believes they are the right way and that we will feel the wrath upon us if we dont follow. But is it really so ? I learnt now we find our own way - shine our own light and connect with our maker in the most comfortable way known to us. We should be passionate of getting to know and loving our God the best way we know how.
We should treat all of mankind with unconditional love regardless of what religion or path they have chosen to take. Isnt this the true message? Isnt this how God loves us ? Unconditionally? We often try to find our way - find our path - and we search and search out there to get the information we need to take the next step but we bypass looking within. When we are passionate about who we are and what we stand for then we have defined ourself. When we connect with God we need not search any longer as we found what we have been searching for right inside of us. Our higher self will never steer us wrong if we just learn to connect on a pure level and listen to the voices within.
I heard something today --they were talking about -- IMAGINATION -- he said "I -- Magi ---- Nation" we are a nation of magic. We can create only if we allow ourselves to imagine what we want out of life and love and then the magic is created. We all know the saying -- you bring about what u think about.
Lets connect - lets leave the fact that we follow a particular religion to dissuade us from being the best we can be to each other. We all try to find our way - but we can only do this by being true to ourselves. The people and signs are all there to help us on our way if we just pay attention them. Our path is a journey - a journey not based on the belief system given to us but by the belief system we create for ourselves from our hearts.

The Message
Do we look at others and the status they carry before we can take a message from them?? I know some do - they only take the signs and the words that come from their spiritual leaders or their parents, teachers and the list go on. Its only taken from the people that are worth something in their minds or hearts. Why is this?? Is it because we lack the awareness of lifes signs that speak to us everyday? I think we do sometimes.
I have realised the messages and signs come in all forms from the people we least expect but if we open our hearts and minds to the beauty there is and that each and every single one of us have something to teach others then our path would be easier to follow. There are signs in everyone -- the words others speak are to you and also for you. It comes in all disguises we just have to listen.
I once had a friend that told me he was going through a very hard time in life - he lost his girlfriend, job and didnt know how to handle things. While chatting I asked him "so what did you do ?" His answer was - "I wanted to end it all - but I couldnt" so the next best thing to do was to drown his sorrow with alcohol. I said "u drank it all away??" He said I tried to but something happened that night. I remember his words -- "I was driving to the next available bar I can find and as he came out his car a man passed close to him as he was closing the door and bounced his shoulders, as he turned around he saw a dirty looking man barely clothed with a bottle in his hand - drunk as can be. He smiled and opened his car again and went back home.
He told me I knew if i had started drinking that night I probably would not have stopped and looking at that man that night I believed it was a sign. God used a drunk man to send a message to him - to send a sign to him. To date he survived and have a lovely life.
My friends the signs are always there - the messages are always there if we just take the time to notice them. We sometimes think that the only people that can guide us are the ones that we look up to and the ones that have given us guidance all our lives but this certainly is not the case. We have messages in everyone -- even a beggar on the street. They are there to remind us sometimes that the choices we make lands us where we are. We are ONE and we contine to learn and grow each and everyday.
Unconditional love is something we need to cultivate for others and for mankind. When we love unconditionally even to the ones that hurt us we let go - we let go of all the blockages that keeps us from stepping forward and claiming all that is rightfully ours. The gift of life, the gift of love and all that it brings with it.
We are LOVE and if we take every person as a message - every sign as a message and we learn to take from others - whether it be our leaders, our parents , our family, our angels and guides we will grow into the beings we were created to be. A being of infinite light and love ...... :)
