Even shorter and sweeter! (really really sweet!)

Ahhhhh ... Clarity
So ... I'm grooving on that familiar feeling of what 'true' clarity feels like. (true is in quotes because I mean 'true to me' ... YOU know what 'true to you' feels like)
Anyway, decision clarity (for me ... and perhaps for MANY) has one insano-important quality about it: JOY!
Simple.
If there is doubt, convincing (either in or out of any given situation), waffling, debating, waffling some more ... we'll then, the clarity you seek hasn't quite arrived yet.
When the JOY overcomes the natural fears associated with change ... it's time to ACT.
And, at that point, you'll likely act with a wide grin on your face and peace in your heart/body.
Now, not all of life's decisions lend themselves to such ease. (and sometimes coming to this point of ease or knowingness regarding larger decisions often takes some good ol' time; to process and to find your own way toward what good-decision-making feels like for YOU)
So ... here's what I am loving about it (all):
As I've made (and make) many-a-decision along the way, I realize that what used to be my preferred methodology (knee-jerk!!) has shifted a bit. I've come to realize what GOOD and TRUE TO ME decisions feel like in my body and being. I've come to know when to slow and LISTEN ... and when to JUMP.
So I'll end by saying (again) ... JOY!
When feelings of JOY overpower other feelings ... JUMP for the love of all things sacred!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Grass is Always Greener
The grass is always greener on the other side, right!
Wait, right?
Well … isn’t it all a matter of PERSPECTIVE?
CBS Sunday Morning (a lovely show) covered this very topic. In a straight-forward and oh-so-logical way … It IS what it IS.
Read on if you so choose …
When you are looking at your neighbors grass, the angle at which you view it makes it appear greener than when looking down at your own grass from on top of it. Simple truth. Makes sense, right?
Hmmmmmm?
Wouldn’t this also apply to all the ways in which we may use this “grass is always greener over there” story?
Isn’t it, again, just a matter of PERSPECTIVE?
And, can’t we instead decide to work on OUR perspective on things? To realize that maybe we aren’t seeing “the other” as clearly or with as much awareness as we could. And, what about the clarity and awareness with which we are looking at “our own grass?”
I don’t know about you … but it gets me thinking. (and smiling a sly, knowing smile)
A. Comparing OURS to THEIRS is pretty silly and futile
B. We have no control over THEIRS, so might as well place focus instead on OURS
C. What kind of focus is key, too. Loving and consistent focus. Regular care and water. Ahhh, but not stifling, over-obsessive or over-bearing. Instead … LIGHTNESS and HUMOR (I know … this last comment doesn’t lend itself to the lawn analogy … but we’re not really talking about that anyway, right?!)
WINK and LOVE!
