In Life, We Need Backbones, Not Wishbones.

" The challenges we face in life contain the lessons we are here to learn.  Do not withdraw from them, nor attempt to solve them half hearted, but instead, fully embrace them.  Accomplishment of a worthy personal goal brings with it more than just the results you were looking for.  It also brings the certain knowledge that we can change and create the kind of life we want.  In the end, when we examine our lives, it is not so much what we know in our heads that is important , nor even what we do, but what we become." - William Lee Rand

Backbones, we all have them in the physical sense, but how strong is the  backbone of your self-esteem? How strong is your self- respect? Mine right now and forever will be -strong, because I stopped looking for  wishbones.

We all encounter people everyday, who will make a wish ( wishing is good, but behind the wish, you must take action).  Some people wish it will not rain until they get home, that it was Friday instead of Monday, that they were skinnier, prettier, richer etc.  But wishing only gets you so far, I know, I use to wish and wish hard that all that I knew in my mind I wanted my life to be, would come without effort on my part, only because I wished it so.  But with much guidance, prayer, meditation, healing and motivation from within, I was going about it all wrong, my goal/wish, should have been  to have great self-esteem and self-respect.  Once I put that in my mind, everything changed.  My outlook on myself and others changed, I became more aware of the energy around people, who would effect me in a negative way, and who in a positive way.  With each passing day, my backbone got stronger, I no longer wanted to be accepted into an inner circle at work ( one that no matter what I did, they would build me up, only to cut me down), not to listen to the garbage of others, or jump on the gossip bandwagon.  I became free - my heart opened and out poured all the love for myself that I was guarding against invaders. 

I always wish people well, no matter what they have done or not done to me, each morning my prayer is for guidance and peace, strength and protection.  I ask that any negative thoughts, words or actions towards me, be sent back to the person they came from with love and peace, because karma does come back around. 

Take a few minutes to reflect on how your backbone is, how much to you wish things would be different, they can be, if you really respect yourself, because once you have chosen empowerment, no one can ever take that from you.  Your connection with God, your angels and more importantly with yourself - will become an unbreakable bond, one that no man or woman can every shatter.

My days of looking for  the magic wishbone are over, that magical one I was looking for was right were I left it...inside me.
