Me too! I never seem to have the time to do the things I want and to be with the people I want most to be with. I fill my time with obligations - all in the name of earning a living - get bitter and resentful and disconnected from others and exhausted. Must simplify life and revel in the present. Drop the activities that I don't like. Thank you Xia Vicente for providing my ah ha moment!

Patience. That is a virtue that I do not own but I need to. I get so frustrated with people and things around me so easily. It is a daily task for me to make myself be patient and know that everything works on God's time, not mine. Speaking of time....I am the worst procrastinator and I really don't want to be. I know what happens everytime so I need to do better.

Don't be afraid of who you are and don't allow others to define you.

Ask more questions. Man, my shyness prevents me from asking all the questions I should --- unless it's on behalf of someone else. I'm good as a mother bear for everyone else but me.

I need to learn to ask questions for taking care of my own needs.

Create space. When I'm too busy with life, moving too fast from one thing to another nothing new arrives. I find myself thinking I can do more to create more, vs. just being. Remembering to take time to create the space always gives me great joy. I feel my body, get reintroduced to old friends, notice a flower, feel the sand in between my toes, or pay attention to my breath.

You can't control the universe!

Focus on what you can change, let go of the things you can't (other people, circumstances). I always get into trouble when I try to be master of the universe, because usually that goes hand in hand with not mastering myself, and my own life.

I read this question this morning, and haven't been able to concentrate on anything else since then. It's exactly the right question at the right time. I can't describe what it is in two words - I've been trying to do what I think I'm supposed to do, what is "right", while trying to submerge doing what is right for me, and what my manifest destiny is.

Be present. Spend more time in nature. Clean more often. Love more.

Pay Attention.

If I pay attention, I'm compassionate, diligent, creative, and I don't get migraines. I'm happy.

When I don't pay attention, well, it's like eating junk food versus a good meal. I still function, but it's not as healthy. For me or those around me. Nothing flows. I'm not happy. No one is.

Except my cats. They like it when I don't Pay Attention and end up sleeping in when I shouldn't. ^_^

Listen to myself. So often I ignore my inner voice and then immediately regret it because, surprise surprise, it was right. I've been focusing on it and getting better, though!

Speak up and assume your God given place on this earth! It is i difficult task for me, as I have always been the nice girl. The one that accepts everything with a smile, and happily agrees with being trampled on. It is hard, but I am learning. One great lesson for me, has been that the people who trample on you, are insecure and probably jealous as well. Slowly i learn to walk away or distance myself from their behaviour. Another great idea is to voice your anger, hit a pillow and let out some steam.

I have no idea what the lesson is ... thus I continue to stumble -searching for the Light in this space-time continuum I do not understand. Trust anyway, love anyway, fail anyway, succeed anyway, laugh anyway, search anyway, sleep anyway, eat anyway, exercise anyway, breathe and be ???

Which one! The biggest one for me is to deal with things as they come up.

Listen to the discerning voice in my head. I get caught up in other people's opinions of me. I am learning to let go of that, and hoping to learn how to overcome/overlook the consequences that come by choosing to let go of people in my life.

It's possible that I can be happy with a man, but a man will not make me happy.

Have courage to share your heart with your romantic partner and be proud to be who you are. Being a very adaptive Gemini and with my lovers a female pleaser I have a tendency to censor myself rather than be courageous and be my passionate self.

Trust Divine Direction. Be open to it and try not to ignore repetitive signs that the universe is sending to steer you in one direction or an another. Although I have always insisted on being in the pilot seat of my life, I've learned (in more than one occasion) that there is a part of destiny which is not under my control... as if there were some experiences I was meant to go through to grow and to advance... For example, I was offered a very interesting professional challenge abroad which I refused a first time for no good reason. The same offer (same job, same country) was made to me again almost one year later (as the client asked that the person who had filled the position be replaced) and I refused again, and again for no good reason ... I was in a bad personal relationship that second time around, although unaware of it and unwilling to let go of it. Four months later, when the position was offered to me for the third time (since the second person who had filled it had just been in an accident and also had to be replaced), it suddenly dawned on me that I was supposed to be the one filling that position...and finaly accepted it... after that, everything that had seemed like a mountain just weeks before (selling my car, my house...etc...) was worked out almost magicaly and two months later I was in a new job, in a new country, in a new house with my two kids (just in time for the start of the school year) and almost two years later I've never regretted that decision...
