Our lives r a never ending story! With people entering and leaving. At times can have a positive negative impact. Relationships r a new beginning or ending. Forever and ever always learning a lesson in a lesson ... Our path is never straight, and at times with uncertainty. The knowing what our life do have purpose is. When we can acknowledge there will be many challenges and struggles, to overcome and go through. We can come to terms of people and circumstances that occur. ...When we know we do done no wrong. Truth always prevails. Creator know and see all. We can and will achieve many teachings and many reminders. We can embrace change when it happens. It will happen many times. Struggles and challenges. Even when we r doing good and did many changes within our lives, especially ourselves. This happens again and again, but remember peoples we can overcome. At times, it can be very difficult but always doable. Be aware of ur strengths and weakness. Utilizing them to ur best and abilities. U can achieve and successful. We do fail, and we do try again. We will never give up on ur life and purpose. To know and keep balance we must go into all four rooms daily. Use ur grateful list and keep adding to it. At times we do forget, this post is a reminder, we all at times do need them. Our life is will be good, and not perfect. Always know of who that u r, all this u carry within u. Listen and observe of what u need to know, and what u must say. Leave and let go of whatever has not been servicing u. People will look at u differently and that is okay. Most importantly is how u see urself, and not what others say or think. Being humble is blessing, with many lessons. Others will try to write ur story. This is not so, we write our own stories Miigwetch! Joceline Nobis See more

Sandra Gaskill June 6 at 9:00 PM My mom had a lot of problems. She did not sleep and she felt exhausted. She was irritable, grumpy, and bitter. She was always s...ick, until one day, suddenly, she changed. The situation was the same, but she was different. One day my dad said to her: - I've been looking for a job for three months and I haven't found anything, I'm going to have a few beers with friends. My mom replied: - It's okay. My brother said to her: - Mom, I'm doing poorly in all subjects at the University ... My mom replied: - Okay, you will recover, and if you don't, well, you repeat the semester, but you pay the tuition. My sister said to her: - Mom, I hit the car. My mom replied: - Okay daughter, take it to the workshop, find how to pay and while they fix it, get around by bus or subway. Her daughter-in-law said to her: - Mother-in-law, I come to spend a few months with you. My mom replied: - Okay, settle in the living room couch and look for some blankets in the closet. All of us at my mom's house gathered worried to see these reactions. We suspected that she had gone to the doctor and that she was prescribe some pills of "I don't give a damn about 1000 mg." She would probably also be ingesting an overdose. We then proposed to do an "intervention" to my mother to remove her from any possible addiction she had towards some anti-tantrum medication. But what was not the surprise, when we all gathered around her and my mom explained: "It took me a long time to realize that each person is responsible for their life, it took me years to discover that my anguish, my mortification, my depression, my courage, my insomnia and my stress, did not solve their problems but aggravated mine. I am not responsible for the actions of others, but I am responsible for the reactions I express to that. Therefore, I came to the conclusion that my duty to myself is to remain calm and let each one solve what corresponds to them. I have taken courses in yoga, meditation, miracles, human development, mental hygiene, vibration and neurolinguistic programming, and in all of them, I found a common denominator: finally they all lead to the same point. And, it is that I can only interfere with myself, you have all the necessary resources to solve your own lives. I can only give you my advice if you ask me and it depends on you to follow it or not. So, from now on, I cease to be: the receptacle of your responsibilities, the sack of your guilt, the laundress of your remorse, the advocate of your faults, the wall of your lamentations, the depositary of your duties, who should solve your problems or spare a tire every time to fulfill your responsibilities. From now on, I declare all independent and self-sufficient adults. Everyone at my mom's house was speechless. From that day on, the family began to function better, because everyone in the house knows exactly what it is that they need to do. Author: A HAPPY WOMAN!! See more
