Reflections….
By, Gina Meyers
"Life is like driving in your car. The windshield is large so you can see where you WANT to go including all
the hazards, unknowns and Possibilities. The rear-view mirror is like your past. The view is MUCH smaller, you can't do much about it and it's OK to glance into it periodically for guidance, but don’t Stare or you will crash
into your Future!"
You can be better than before.
Resistance and resilience are only a few letters different and yet they mean a world of difference.
Not only can you heal your life, you can overcome your fears which are your biggest setbacks.
If you can be honest with yourself, you can change yourself and the world!
You are way more powerful than you think.
Dredging upon traumatic memories from the past was not on my plate du jour. As a matter of fact, didn’t want any reminders of what I’ve been through, but that’s the problem with “accidents”, “car accidents”, they have a way of exposing the onion layers all at once.
I’m raw like an onion peel and yet I’m more happy, satisfied, and lucky than I’ve ever felt. Freedom.
From tragedy to triumph
When you have a traumatic event that unfolds before your very eyes,
You are forced to relive other tramas in your life regardless of if the actual trauma involved the same
situation.
For me the symbols and the fear all spelled vehicle or car, for the most part.
Getting involved in a motor vehicle accident, not my fault, so far, cross my fingers, knock on wood,
every accident I have been involved in has been someone else's fault, that doesn’t make it any better
really, it just gives me a little less guilt and more fear and worry and concern than anything.
Here is my advice:
You need to get over trauma as quickly as possible.
You need to regurgitate everything quickly as if you have the flu, then rest, recuperate,
reflect, self-care, write, journal, paint, sculpt, bake, be quiet. As the song says.
Billy Joel says it best in Vienna.
Slow down you crazy child
You are so ambitious for a juvenile
Where is the fire, what’s the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
Truth is… you can get what you want or you could just get old!
You are gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize--the inner waits for you?
Certain people and personalities that you can’t fully trust when you are going through difficult times.
horder, the toxic person, the bully, the competitive spirit. Personalities or character deficits that you
can partially trust in difficult times, the co-dependent, the know-it-all. These people may tell you “they told you so”, but they will be dependendable in the sense that they be around puffing their chest,
if you can handle the bravado, then ok. Co-dependents will blame themselves for your problem,
so if you need a shoulder to cry on, they’ll be crying on yours, but you’ll at least get the
attention/affection if that’s something you need. People you should steer clear of in good times and
in bad, the liar, anyone physically, mentally, or emotionally abusive, difficult situations flare up their
already atrocious personality/character flaws. Also, this isn’t meant to sound manipulative, it’s a fact
that we are all flawed human beings having a spirit experience. Or some people believe we are spirits having a human experience.
