BELIEF OF THE BLESSED

"To believe is to know that  every day is a new beginning.
It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true.
 To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,
 To know the wonder of a stardust sky
 and the wisdom of the man in the moon.
 To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,
 the innocence of a child's eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,
 for it is through their teachings we learn to love.
 To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.
When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.
 To believe is to know we are not alone,
 that life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.
 To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen,
 And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.
 If only we believe."

BELIEVE.... and it will change ... ME proof

I know I probably go on a bit about being blessed. It is a point I intend to push to it's very limit because it is soooo important in the development of my Journey. Because I am writing my STORY Backwards I am able to keep you informed of the STEPS I am taking. The Journey from Miser-ee, that town where life is suffering, pain, grief after loss, tragedy, hardship and all of the negative emotions we encounter while we 'wait' out in Devil's Dip (under the doona) and beyond. In my poem Mister Someone Out-There I talk about Miser-ee being 'somewhere near Hell'. And it is.
Every single one of weee humans, and the latest estimation is that there have been, and are, nearly 11o BILLION of weee, has or will suffer, some a lot worse than others. WHY? Not one of those 110 BILLION has found the answer, so I has at a guess that the answer is between weee and our Maker. Believe it or not. The pain hurts. Bad. Sometimes unbearably Bad. And it's not fair........ but it is what it is. If we LEARN to fight the NEGOBS, the negativity inflicted by the obstacles, then weee are BLESSED. Now that isn't advice from  a book. It's not from a counselling session. It's from the EXPERIENCE of PAIN.

PAIN ..... BELIEF of the BLESSED

The Degree of Devastation, the level of pain, the infliction of hurt. These are all important in recovery, the healing. But the single most important painkiller to help recovery, to move forward from the abyss, the darkness of despair, is SELF BELIEF. To KNOW that you are BLESSED because you have been given an OPTION to LEARN a life lesson. To KNOW that the pain will lead us to GAIN. The GRIEF will lead us to RELIEF.......
BUT HOW ?
Seeing as it's MY Journey that we are looking at, why not take a look at some real life examples, huh?
Think living in a tent for four years. I have said I was BLESSED to be given the OPPORTUNITY. Pretty crazeeee I suppose when you wake up each morning to no electricity, no appliances like fridge, oven, toaster, coffee maker, boiling water, no shower or bath. No fresh food or water. No this. No that. Yep. Pain in the butt. Ask the WHY question for a long time. Feel sorry for yourself, even shed a few tears when it gets too much. But then you THINK. Lots. With your head, or more importantly, your brain. You analyse your not so good position. And you freak. Big time.....

Look for ME in the mirror of self belief

But then ever so slowly you begin to learn. I began to LEARN to SURVIVE. Then I began to LEARN about myself. About Moi or the lower case me. Mmm Hmmm. Then you go looking for something, just like I did. Don't know what. But kept looking. And then you find the UPPER CASE. And the UPPER CASE ME shows you what to look for and where. ME shows you how to CHOOSE. How to look outside the brain. How to FIND the MIND. How to CHOOSE the right THOUGHTS....
THAT'S when IT happens. That's when the BELIEF starts. You choose the right THOUGHTS and then your BELIEF will guide you forward, the WHOLE WAY. Just like me. I am still being guided on my Journey from the dark into the light. I made a choice to BELIEVE. Because of that I am LEARNING stuff. STUFF that it was impossible for me to know. The HAND is guiding me, showing me how to do stuff that I had no prior knowledge about. The......

                                .... BLESSED HAND OF BELIEF....

                                                        Seek and you will find.
                                                            Believe in yourself.
                            Believe in the power you have to CONTROL your own life.
                                                    Turn tragedy into triumph.
                                                                    Be Blessed.
                                                                        Believe.
