Transcend

Transcend

"Be or go beyond the range or limits.  To surpass." 

I woke today with a smile.  My dreams were light and I felt rested.  Not just because I laid down and shut my eyes, rested my body or tuned out the world for a few hours but because I accepted the result of a choice while coming to peace with it.  

We cannot control many things that happen around us.  Forcing or using negative energy (anger, arrogance, hate, sadness or even jealousy)  Others actions or choices do not reflect on ourselves.  Although we see it that way.  Often, rejection is something we see on our part as a fault we carry.  

This couldn't be further from the truth as is the base of the ocean from the peak of Mount Everest.  

Take a moment, reflect on only yourself.  What you've done, who you have become and your own personal choices.  Were they ones you know were right, good and give you no weight?  Then you've done nothing wrong.  In fact, I would guess at times, the other person hasn't either.  

Life offers us opportunities to transcend our own actions or behaviours.  It is one of the gifts we take for granted and each moment, we forget to live it completely.  

Do not hate someone for their choice to walk away, love them more for their choice to love you for who you are.  See it as more than rejection, see it as freedom from something that perhaps was never to be.  

Transcend from the feelings of abandonment to the feeling of freedom.  

Your life is exactly that, YOUR life.  Those around you who cheer you on daily, even from afar are the ones who love you for the person you are and who you will become.  Don't be afraid of life, live it unconditionally and completely.  

Take away the negative feelings, the negative energy and embrace only the ones that make your heart warm, the ones that make you secure in knowing, you've transcended beyond anything you ever imagined.
