Recently many of my clients have been moving through a “shift”…getting unstuck from frustration, grief, overwhelming feelings and life’s curve balls.
Today, one of the special people sent me this…and I wanted to share~ it’s message is quite powerful. Thank you.
My sister’s story: Some weeks ago my sister (Carol) observed a hummingbird carefully building her nest in a tree outside of one of her windows. She later observed that the little bird was incubating 2 eggs, & Carol was excitedly anticipating them hatching & watching the diligent mother feed & raise her babies. Yesterday Carol observed a crow scoping out the area & soon noticed the eggs were gone. The end of the story is that watching that little hummingbird & anticipating the eggs hatching was something that made Carol feel very happy & that happiness was snatched away in a moment. What I draw from this illustration is that life is that way. There are little things & big things that make us happy, but we can’t (excuse the pun) “put all our eggs in one basket” as far as finding a source for our happiness goes. We have to have a strategy in place to cut short our moments of grief, so we can get back on our feet and return to a positive/happy space. This is not an easy task but being able to quickly rebound from despair & sorrow is so much more productive than remaining there.
Thanks to my clients for always inspiring me.
