my horoscope and conversations about cannabis
It’s time for you to pull in the reins and take control of your life, especially if you have recently acquiesced to an authority. Now it’s your turn to play the role of the heavyweight. Fortunately, you can do this with compassion; there’s no need to be mean to anyone. It’s crucial, though, for you to stand up for yourself; if you don’t do it, no one else will.
The last line, I feel is appropriate for all.
At work last night, my co-workers were chatting about personality flaws. While one mentioned their habit of smoking ganja was their biggest flaw the other countered with ‘smoking isn’t a flaw, it’s a habit. A flaw would be something like people pleasing’.
That statement immediate struck a chord in me for that is my ultimate flaw. And although I recognize that, I still always find myself in moments of my life where my priority seems to be making sure everyone around me is happy, yet while on my chronic unavailing quest of pleasing those around me, I then lose myself and end up struggling for positive energy and my own happiness. This is when I need to take a stand for myself because no one else will.
Now that’s not because those around me don’t love me or don’t care but just as they are the only one’s responsible for their own happiness, I am the only one responsible for mine.
Now just a little while back I wrote about how my favorite yoga teacher always said “if you ask yourself ‘where would you like to be right now?’, and the answer is anything other than ‘Here’ then you need to change something.” It’s only when we are truly happy in the place where we are in life that we can allow ourselves to be open to the wonders that the universe has to offer us.
I obviously have not been keeping this thought close to my heart because for the last three or four weeks I have found myself on a roller coaster ride of emotions and not really sure which direction I am going. I am realizing as I write this, that maybe this is my time to just be still. We are not always having to move forward. And by recognizing that I innately take a step :)
