Reflections On The Mirror

Author

One of the most amazing things I have come to realize is that no matter how much personal growth we think we have achieved, there is always room for improvement...

We go about our lives day in and day out following our routines, creating a busy agenda and making sure no time is wasted; but it is during this process where we can get lost in the chase of a busy life pushing away our true being and neglecting the connection with those we interact with on a daily basis.

While it is important to maintain a practical, and structured lifestyle, it is even more critical to our well being to take time to slow down and pay attention to our connection with those around us. We get so caught up with the running against time that we tend to forget the positive impact a smile, a tender caress, a loving hug or a kind word can make in someone's life.

A simple way to find out how connected we really are to others is to see their reaction towards us. Since every person who comes into our life serves as a mirror to our way of being, it can be an eye opener to see that maybe we need to look deep within so we can figure out what we need to change in order to have a deeper and more fulfilled connection with others. Nothing is more painful than hurting those we love when we fail to realize how rooted we are in our old ways, that we can't even see how our actions are affecting them.

Life is a magnificent gift that is better enjoyed when in company of those we love, therefore let's not take anyone for granted and take the time to slow down and pay attention to the importance of the human connection. After all, we cannot survive without each other for our inter-connection goes beyond the logical human understanding, and anything we do as an individual affects human kind as a whole.

On a side note, I feel very fortunate to have my daily mirrors, who with their kindness and loving nature are making me take a second look at myself so I can become a better human being.

with love and gratitude,

Buried Memories

Author
Karla Solano

Years may come and go leaving behind untold memories buried in the depth of our Soul. These untold memories that we pretend don’t exist, come back to haunt us to set us free...These ghostly memories are nothing but that, a faint reminiscence from a distant past, an unresolved issue that needs to be cleared, forcing us to face it in order for us to be healed.

These buried memories can take a life of their own, causing us to feel vulnerable and insecure; and our human instinct automatically creates a wall to protect us from being hurt once more. But this wall we create although it may protect us at first, it can also push away beautiful experiences that can take our breath away.

No matter how scary these buried memories may seem they can’t harm us unless we give them the power to be... The truth lies in finding the courage within, to face these fears and dissolve them so we can be free… Free to open our hearts once again, to the beauty and loving essence present in each new experience that may come our way!

Embracing past memories no matter how painful they may have been is the only way to move past them, so we can unlock the door that leads us to the joyful life we are meant to live.

Speaking Our Truth

Author
Karla Solano

One of the things to admire the most about children is the fact that they are not afraid of speaking their minds. They tell it like it is whether we like it or not. This is an amazing trait that as adults we try to suppress for the fear of being imprudent, hurting someone's feelings or simply because we don’t want to seem too straight forward; so we teach children early on to lie or hide how they really feel. We grow up thinking that is not right to let others know our true feelings and we begin the journey of deceit and illusion, creating sometimes a facade to cover up who we are or what’s really on our mind.

As adults we need to learn to peel the old layers that blocked us from being able to express ourselves freely as when we were kids, and re-connect with that child within who saw the world from the perspective of honesty and clarity. This world would be a much better place if we all learned to connect with each other from heart to heart, instead of pretending to be something or someone we are not just to fit in.

Speaking our truth is an essential aspect of our life in order to have perfect relationships with everyone we are involved with, whether in the work place or in our personal life. Being honest not only gives you character but it also allows others to see the real you, and respect you for who you are. Learning to put aside the fear of speaking our truth is one of the most challenging things some of us might have to encounter, however it is of utmost importance to let go of that fear so we can begin to lead a life of true connection with others.

We have so much to learn from children, not only do they teach us how to express ourselves with honesty but also how to live free of limitations and judgment. They show us how to experience life in fun & creative ways; they have mastered the real way of living life and as adults we need to allow them to be whom they are and encourage them to keep that connection with their truth so that they don’t follow in our footsteps of fear and deception.

The time is now to voice our opinion and show our true colors, we were all given the power and intelligence to speak our minds so why be afraid to say it like it is? Connect with your personal power and unleash the truth within so your heart can be free.
