Everything I Needed to Know I Learned on Facebook

Facebook really is a fascinating thing.  Much like your daily horoscope, or a taro card reading it seems that some days all the posts, quotes and images you see are bang-on  with where you are.  That’s how it was for me this morning.

As I continue my journey out of the mire of a past that binds, today’s posts and quotes reminded me to believe in myself and my path; to stick to what I know, in my heart, is right for me.  They were the perfect crib notes I needed to keep me on a positively productive path to self realization and contentment.

It all started when I encountered this quote by Tony Robbins : ‘I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.’ 

Thanks Tony, for reminding me to re-check my ‘Things I Will no Longer Tolerate’ list to assure myself that my choices were sound, necessary and rational. 

Already I felt calmer, seeing that it might be possible to put my mental wrestling match to bed one more time.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox’s quote told me ‘There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.’  

You are so smart, Ella, for reminding me to recognized the rightness in the path I have chosen for myself because it is MY path.  For the first time in my life I am seeing myself with the eyes of my soul and I know... I KNOW the soundness of my decision with such clarity that nothing will deter me.

Ella reminded to stay the course, and my resolve strengthened even more, knowing that I needed to be the strongest I have ever been to overcome this life struggle, and that only certainty and determination would change this destructive pattern. 

And I felt peaceful.

But, it was when I read one of my favorite quotes by Maya Angelou,  ‘A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself.’

...that I breathed in the air of contentment and was at one with the universe, recognizing the abundance of bliss, the pure ‘ahhhh’, within this resolve and determination, continuing to gain strength and courage from having finally appreciated the rightness of my choice.  I am in harmony with my spirit.  We are one.  My spirit and I will flow with grace and ease forever, soaring, flying, leaving these bonds behind.

I am free.
