The last time I wrote here was at the beginning of this year. As I like to finish what I’ve started, I though it appropriate to write a piece on Life as a form of reflection for 2014. I’m not really going to discuss my journey through 2014 but rather I’m going to share some of the things that got me through 2014 and Life in general.

Verusha, on Life!

Life…is quite a jam-packed, heavily loaded word. Very often it’s followed by a heavy sigh. Some even says it’s a…

Well, whatever it is we all have to deal with it, try to define it, face it, put up with it and sometimes love it!

Below are a few words that describe the way in which I choose to go about Life:

Control/Balance

EVERYTHING requires balance! I always try to find a balance in everything thing that I do. I strive for emotional, spiritual and financial balance. I also try to eat a balanced diet (I think!). To be clear I’m not the perfect human being with my Ying & Yang perfectly positioned, however I do try. I express my emotions freely but I never allow them to take over. I take full advantage of quiet time to ensure the universe and I are on the same page. Financially, well I think we’re all clowns trying to perform the same balancing act… unless you’re Bill Gates.

Control goes hand-in-hand with balance.

Obedience

I don’t always get what I want and sometimes that’s very difficult to accept. However I do believe that everything happens for a reason, whether I like it or not! Thus I’ve learned to be obedient to the way in which my Life plays out. I always try to give my 110% and learn something from every experience.

Faith/Trust

My mind plays tricks on me sometimes! If it can’t see, hear, smell, taste or touch things it has difficulty excepting that these things exists. As a result it tries to convince me that such things don’t exist and that they will never exist. In response I banish such convictions with my sword of faith and armor of trust.

So those are my wise words of wisdom. You can choose to use or abuse it!

Below I have added a few quotes that I’ve read, liked, adopted and applied to my life. I’ve also included a few of my favourite “Verusha’s Life” pictures and a collage of words that I think guide my Life!
