L.I.P. (live in peace)

Posted on April 17, 2013 by z zz, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

As Twenty Twelve comes to an end we are all faced with bidding the year ado and ringing in a new year… a better year, we hope… With each year we are all dealt both good & bad, happy & sad… and then there is rest of the year.. all of the simply normal and average moments that make up our day to day lives. We all seem to forget the happiest moments… and sadly we wallow in the saddest moments and recall the bad incidents with such vivid detail that it is like reliving it time and time again…All of the average moments seem not to note worthy at all for most… however these moments are our balance. We look back on the past years failures and disappointments hoping blindly that this new year 2012 will not bring us such pain and heartache… Every year brings with it pain,sadness, happiness, joy, laughter and our balance. The key to a happy year is being grateful for the balance time, rejoice in highs, & bounce back from the lows. We need to share our joy and learn to wallow in it… imagine re-living your happiest times as often as we re-live the sad events. We all share the same disappointments and pains… however by keeping our journey to ourselves we isolate our pain and we isolate ourselves, causing us to continue to re-live it over and over again… We all have had our hearts broken, lost a job, had a fight with a friend or family member and lost a loved one. We have had sickness and health , injury and healing… it is so easy to complain about pain that we are in… yet we never wake up and exclaim … I have no back pain at all…. it isn’t human nature, we think of that as bragging. As a whole I believe that we all want the people that we care about to be happy, even if they have wronged us. I also believe that it is just so easy for us to all say and mean with all our hearts RIP when we lose a loved one… we want so badly that they no longer be in pain both physically and mentally. Even atheists seem compelled to wish RIP at the loss of a loved one… Our loved ones would never want us to suffer and be sad with their loss… they want us to be happy they want us to L.I.P. (Live in Peace). However is seems human nature to selfishly hold on to our pain and anger… somehow thinking that it will keep our loved ones with us longer… we are so afraid that our joy could possibly negate the very memory of the one we lost. Our joy is a credit to the one we loved and lost… With each passing day we must allow ourselves to heal, laugh, cry and carry on…

I will promise you that Twenty Twelve will bring you tears of joy and tears of sorrow… laughter,success, failure, joy,sadness, frustration, heartache, etc… For this is what years do… If we remember to embrace our balance times and hold on for the ups and downs… enjoying all of the moments 2013 will be a great year… we will all look back a year from now with the same naive optimistic hopes for 2014, blinded by the reality that the few bad moments did not make the year bad it was re-living them over and over again…

May we all learn to L.I.P. in 2013!!!
