Choose to believe

Some things are hard to see

Some things are hard to believe

Yet they are real as you and me

Some things take long  to make,

Some thing are hard to create

Yet they are only in the waiting

Always believe in your true dreams

Always believe you can be what you want to be;

All is possible even though hard to see,

If only you choose to believe 

~ M.L Adams

Different eyes

IMG_8587-2

We all have different eyes 

For the way we see things is though our own mind

There is no one way

No right or wrong way

Each beautiful set of eyes sees through its own lens;

However different

In dark and light

They find their own ways;

As individual creations

~ M.L Adams

Being Empowered

At certain times in life we can reach a point where we feel powerless; powerless to that which is happening either directly to us or around us.
At these times however real it may feel, this feeling of powerlessness is an illusion.

We always have power

Why?

Because we always have choice – no matter what the situation or circumstance,
We have the most important choice

That of how we show up.

So how can we go from feeing powerless to being empowered

1.) In how we choose to be
2.) In how we choose to focus
3.) In what we choose to do

Ultimately it is the energy we choose to bring to any situation.

And this energy is the most powerful thing that we have – we choose what we bring to any circumstance and through doing so we create a ripple effect. We can choose the effect we wish to create and from here help those around us too.

With us all being energy, we are never powerless, we are creative beings, giving power to that which we choose through our own awareness. We all can make and create a difference within this world, starting with ourselves. We get to choose how, and in doing this we will influence others too.

Whether winter or summer
You still have a choice
Even though it may not feel that way,
You always have power
You always have a voice 💗

The most important thing to realise is our power lies within us, not outside of us. So if ever your feeling powerless, come back to this truth, it’s from here we create change in our lives to begin with. Know that it is always you who decides how you show up today, on what you choose to focus on and on the energy you wish to create for your life and those around you.

As Gandhi so famously stated;

“Be the change you wish to see in the world”

It starts with us. Create from within and stay in charge. 💗

Energy is everything

“Energy is everything, what we focus on or hold on to, we become.”

As energy is everything, the importance of conscious energy direction is vital yet something we can so easily forget. We are however most often in a position to consciously direct it.

This is because we are always in a state of choice, whether we are consciously choosing however is something else. There is a large amount of influence to be followed and this can happen to us in many situations, where we can get pulled in one direction or another without much conscious awareness.

It is possible however to be in a state where we allow ourselves to see that we do always have a choice, even if in that moment it may not at first appear so.

A great place to be in is one of balance, where we are not pulled in one direction or another but completely in charge or our own state. This may be called one of the observer. When you are in this state of balance then you know you are in the drivers seat of your life and choosing where you want to go.

This way you are always conscious and rarely if ever unconsciously directed. It is important however that we practice continuously to be attentive to our own energy state.

To do this the best way I have found is to step back and look at a situation or energy state, and consider “is this useful or wasteful to me.” We are then free to redirect our energy on to where it is best placed.

There is never any point in attaching ourselves to that which is wasteful, when we can choose to focus on that which is beautiful, creative and productive instead. Everything starts from within and is then directed out so by consciously choosing we take back the power that is truly ours and create our lives as we choose them to be completely.

Your energy is you, so place it where it is most valuable to you, and make it most meaningful. Then you will know that you’ll never have a wasted day or even a wasted moment, for it will be you that is fully in charge of your energy flow. ❤

Look to this day

IMG_5133.JPG

Look to this day
For it is life, the very life of life
In its brief course lie all the verities
And the realities of your existence;
The bliss of growth;
The splendour of beauty;
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision:
But today well lived
Makes every yesterday
A dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope,
Look well therefore to this day!

Nature Photography – World Photography Day

As today is World photography day, I thought I’d share with you some of my favourite photographs of nature that i’ve taken over the last year, some of which you may have seen on here before.

Nature photography is something I delved in to after beginning to see the real beauty within it. All of nature holds within it a pure beauty that exists within us all;

An art in itself, captured with ease

To share and hold, with all the beauty it brings

Painted sky
Painted sky
A path in the trees
A path in the trees
Seeing beyond
Seeing beyond
The illusion
The truth beyond illusion
The flow of the soul
The flow of the soul
Beauty on a motorway
Beauty on a motorway
Caught in the clouds
Caught in the clouds
Purest soul
Pure beauty

I hope you enjoyed them as much as I do ❤ please let me know of your favourite too. Happy world photography day 🙂
