Comments on: On Fear and Changing Plans http://www.helenaritchie.com/blog/on-fear-and-changing-plans Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. ~George Bernard Shaw Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:51:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Marianna http://www.helenaritchie.com/blog/on-fear-and-changing-plans/comment-page-1#comment-122 Marianna Wed, 18 Mar 2009 01:26:05 +0000 http://www.helenaritchie.com/blog/?p=121#comment-122 Well stated, Lena. One thing I get from this post is that you've developed faith. Faith in yourself to know that you will make the right decision for you when the time is right. That is heart-based living. Quietening down "the gang" upstairs long enough to listen to the song that is in your heart. Belt it out or sing it softly! You'll know when the music starts. Well stated, Lena.

I honestly don't know how to be anything but transparent. I'm a lousy liar and have such an awful memory I'd never be able to keep the story straight! :) It was really hard to give up on the idea, even though I know deep down I'm not ready for it. And you're right... I've focused so much on the getting out that I haven't really worked on fixing the problems that make me want to leave. And I really don't want to carry them with me any longer. So here I stay and work on them, and know that something really good is waiting for me just around the corner :) Lena Hi Anita,

It is a challenge to push past the pain of yesterday and move forward. You have chosen to stay for now until the time is right to leave,that is admirable. We humans often times think that a change of scenery will be the quick fix to the problems we are facing. It is not the problems.It is how we perceive them. Our lives are full of change and its scary sometimes.These times when we are "pushed past our comfort zone" are times of growth. Just ride with it! You never know where it will take you! Be Well!
