Welcome Seeker! I want to welcome our newest subscribers! I appreciate you taking the time to sign up and read "Fly Beyond." I hope you find it useful. Treasure: Yesterday, I was trying to clear things off my computer to make more room. I went through my documents folder, I went through all the downloads folders, deleted cookies, even went through some of the program folders to see if there were things I could delete. But, as I was looking through all these folders, I realized there were things that I didn't even know if I needed them on the computer or not. Would removing them affect the function? Would taking this thing out do something to another thing? Then, as I was getting ready for bed last night, I realized that all that searching and deleting things I didn't need and not knowing what COULD be safely deleted sort of fit in with life in general. We know we need to "delete" some of the useless things in our lives to make room for growth and useFUL things, but sometimes we don't know what to get rid of. Sometimes, it's even WHO to get rid of. What or who in our lives are no longer functional or useful? Are we attached to "symbols" of our lives--like cars, or TVs, or just "things" that really aren't what we want our lives to be about? Do we continue associations with people because it's what is EXPECTED of us? Even though the associations can be poisonous to our well-being? Do we hold onto ideas or attitudes because they make us feel superior to someone else? What if we said "no" to some of these things? What if we said, "I don't wish to associate with that person, because he/she is always finding fault with me or what I do"? What if we transformed the ideas or attitudes that make us feel superior to others into loving care for them? What if we "deleted" long held beliefs because they don't work for us any more? Wouldn't that make room in our lives for more growth? Unlike my computer, sometimes we have to let love be our armor to deflect the things that we don't need. Even the things we don't know if we need or not. When we take responsibility for ourselves and our perceptions, sometimes things that are no longer needed in our lives just fall away. Others are "changed" by our change in perception. The only person we can truly change is ourself. When you make the changes in love and perceive people and things with that attitude, it is amazing how useless "programs" can be removed from our lives. How useless THINGS can become. If you can't eat the things that are bothering you, like a dragon could, then love them and let them go.
