Life’s Journey

All too often we think that we will find happiness by position, promotion, possessions, or perfect houses and families, but when we get one thing, we want more.

I love that line from Mother Teresa’s ‘Do it anyway’ words.

I am amazed how many people say that they don’t care what others think but I’m equally amazed at how few people live that way.

When I’ve got a lot going on at one time I tend to lie awake at night imagining all the possible scenarios and how I will react to each one of them.

I find it quite easy to waste time and I’m sure I’m not alone. I also have no problem justifying the time that I waste.

I’m sure that we’ve all seen films where someone is stalked or hounded everywhere that they go. I’ve just watched Wuthering Heights and the relationship that Heathcliffe has with Catherine is suffocating. It is not true love, because true love can let go.

The analogy with travelling has been used many times before and I’m sorry if it is a little clichéd, but it is a good one.

When people are unkind to us for no apparent reason, it gives us the opportunity or learning, even though everything in us might scream for justice.

I recently came across the delightful expression ‘makes your heart sing,’ to describe that about which a person is passionate.

In my work, I frequently see people with rent arrears, council tax arrears or other types of arrears but today, whilst spending part of my day off catching up with some of my work paperwork, I realised that it is possible to live other parts of life in arrears as well as finance.
