What's your "Response Ability"?
"If you dissect the word responsibility, you find it really means "the ability to respond." How we choose our responses is what we'll continue to attract, create and become. To think that your life will be challenge free is illusion. Challenges are the way we test how much we have or have not developed our ability to respond." -James Ray
In this holiday season the challenges are many;, the challenge to budget just the right amount for gifts and then to find the "perfect" gift for each person on our list. Then there is the challenge to fit in all the parties, year-end appointments, and the additional pressure we put on yourself to complete these tasks in a short amount of time. Remember, those are just the added challenges of the last quarter of the year; you're also still juggling the challenges of relationships, parenthood, work responsibilities and financial stability, aging relatives, housework or homework, bad weather or bad tempers, keeping the faith or keeping up with the times...
So today, I challenge you, to take just a moment and renew your sense of self, and your ability to respond to the challenges and pressures in a way that doesn't push against the tide of your life, but rides on the waves in a gentle, peaceful and accepting way that reaffirms that you will reach the shore just when you should. Remember, pushing ahead harder than the waves are rolling only pulls you under, and drowns your ability to respond in a positive or accepting way.
