Standing In The Center Of Our Life….
Comments(4) Good Morning,
I like to imagine myself standing in the center of the wheel of my life. I envision a strand of soft, fine, golden silk connecting me to each aspect of my life.
My ideal is smooth, soft and strong connections… If and when I notice a knot, or kink or fray in one of the strands, it is an indication to me that I need to attend and do what I can to return the connection to harmony and peace and flowing energy.
What about when a situation is beyond our control?
I was talking to a good friend about this and the topic of how best to deal with a negative person or circumstance that is beyond our control…
My friend Tara, (little yoda that she is…) said… “Well… all we can do is make sure that our side of the strand is clear… if there is knots, let them be on the other end”… that was the perfect addition to my life metaphor… at the very least, keeping my side of the strand smooth and strong and flowing… accepting that I have no control over the other end…
So for example… if I have a person in my life that is important to me, yet for whatever reasons, she/he is problematic, the only thing I can do is have healthy boundaries, clear communications and make sure I am in a place of personal integrity. Be my best, expect the best, and let go of the outcome.
What do you think? Does this metaphor work for you? Are your strands of silk lovely and clear and smooth and strong and fine and golden?
Please leave your comments for others to enjoy and respond…

Love that… just what I need this week! I’ve been waiting for everyone else and while my end was smooth in the beginning it’s getting freighed as time goes on and I continue to wait.
Today, as I expect my day of magic I will visualize my strands being silky soft and smooth… at my end.
Thanks Joyce!

I am with Kim on this and it is just what I needed to read today. Love the metaphor of the silky strands – silk is such a strong yet flexible and fine fabric. Silk natural insulates so the idea of silk strands not only extending out of the wheel of self but also setting clear boundaries is lovely.
In a day when people have been tugging at my strands trying to tie up me in their knots I’m now stepping back visualising beautiful tangle free smooth threads radiating out with love.
Thank you Joyce for this gift of rich imagery and thought.
Love and hugs

Joyce, you truly are a blessing. You always provide us with the perfect food at the perfect time. I needed to hear this today, and this visual will definitely help, because I have been aspiring to keep my end smooth, and I have been so sensitive I have been allowing others knots to distract me. The visualis so powerful. Thank you!
i love that analogy. I think we always have people who are difficult wheather they are passing thru or they are family who need to be managed and are permanently in our life.
thanks for sharing … i love reading your blog
have a great day
