Give Take Give

             Whether your family is the chosen type or the kind you’re born in to, it’s the place you should feel most at home.  Even if many of their numbers are miles away.

             And with the cases of distance, in order to be with some, we must often sacrifice them to stay close with others.  It’s a challenge, especially if your group is large.

              We can feel as though that cost is too high.  What is most helpful, in this and so much of our life is:

equilibrium.

             To find balance, is to find our true path, is to find comfort.  The times when we are in sync are the most joyous.  We feel unburdened and free.

              But how do we do that?  How do we find that composure and equality, for ourselves and for our loved ones?  How do we solve the issues of some getting more than others?

             One way is to let go of guilt, let go of what everyone is thinking (or, more precisely, what we THINK everyone is thinking).  None of that matters.  What’s important is to be honest, be caring, do the very best we can.

              This past week we were away from some loved ones, but spent time with another batch.  We made sacrifices, it cost a lot (time and dollars).  In the end, it was worth it.  It’s always worth it!

             Much like my theory of “buy the boots, spend the money” – looking back, we never regret the purchase (and every time, make more money).  We absolutely, and without fail, will regret NOT doing it.  Every stinkin’ time.

             Let go.  Take the trip.  Go see the people you care about.  You’re worth it.  And, if you miss them, they’re worth it, too!  Find your balance, pay the price.  And feel good about your choices.

              Here’s what I’m listening to tonight.  Turn up the music, dance, enjoy!  Spend your money and spend your time, in all the places where it matters most.

Necessary

             What does it mean to be needed, and is it a way we wish to have others view us?  Don’t we all struggle to feel worthy and of value?

             Do we really HAVE to have all the things we cling to?  Are all of these gadgets and contraptions required for a truly happy existence?  Do we feel incomplete without the reassurance of others?

             This lifetime, for me, is all about Release and Letting Go lessons.  Yet, in the day-to-day, down-n-dirty, we-got-those-bills-to-pay reality, we’re maybe trying to go the other direction.  Might we be causing some of these issues?

            I mean, none of us is so unique that we can’t be replaced.  While at the same time, we truly ARE incredibly special, individual, the only one like us, with our own set of skills, talents, and gifts.

             It’s a balance, it’s a back-and-forth of trying to find that harmony of necessity.

             It’s:

equilibrium.

             We want to feel good about ourselves and what we’re accomplishing.  We just don’t want to worry that when we take a break everything will go to hell in a handbasket.

             How we find the tipping point is to fall off of the edge.  Uncomfortable?  Yes.  Fatal?  Usually not.  Informative?  Always.

             It’s up to us, one at time, in our own space, in our own way, with our own specialized set of tools, to discover that fine calculation, that perfect leveling.

             We need to seek it gently, though.  Without vigor, and without haste.  We need to approach it softly, so as not to flip the scales and cause a crash.

             In asking all of these questions, I was directed to see what else we could learn here.  This validation brings the start of an answer, a recalibrating of a reminder.

             To learn, we often times are forced to teach.  To instruct, we must first acknowledge that we are always still learning.

             To help ourselves, it is best to begin by helping others.
