The Practice of Patience...

Greetings Loved Ones,

Okay...today's "Chop It Up" comes directly from the core of my "Self Place"...

*Honest Zone*

I am a mother of 3 beautiful, brilliant, loving children...and on EVERY day ending with the letter Y...I am charged with exuding PATIENCE...

It's a rough gig...I promise!!!

One thing about being an involved, hands-on mother is...much of my time is spent training, coaching, rearing, guiding, engaging my 3 "Branches".

They require MUCH attention...as any child would...MOST of the in-depth saturated time is spent...breathing and asking The Universal Source for strength and PATIENCE...#thestruggleisREALyall!!!!

My children while the "so called" students...most certainly are my teachers.

The patience I feed into their individual lives...am I giving myself?

The patience I find to make my way through whatever situations the "Branches" face...do I give this same grace to myself?

The honest answer is NO...

While I exude patience...I also lack room for Lyphez need for patience with her SELF.

When we've worked hard at our places of employment with no positive or visible flexibility in our financial return...

"I do my BEST at what I do daily...I'll be patient."

When we've made all of the best decisions regarding our lives and things still haven't turned out the way we hoped, envisioned, wanted...

"I've done my BEST to do right...I'll be patient."

When we give of ourselves until we have hardly any left and we take a break from being the world's All in All but feel guilty 

(because we've been mentally conditioned)...

"I've given all of me and cannot give any more until I reset...replenish...renew my self...I must be patient."

PATIENCE is giving ourselves the needed room to expand...retract...lengthen...shorten...every aspect of ourselves...

Lyphe Flexibility.

We cannot always be everywhere all the time

We cannot always fix everything and everyone all the time

We cannot drain ourselves of ourselves and expect those we love to get the 

BEST Self we have to offer

We cannot make excuses for why we neglect loving and nurturing and caring for SELF.

We've got to take the Growth Process one step at a time...one breath at a time...one task at a time...

As long as we keep reaching up...we allow Patience to become apart of our living growth process.

Each life process requires us to encourage ourselves with LOVE and Patience...just like we do with those beautiful "Branches" or "Seeds" we call children.

I am my BEST self and the epitome of my Self today... I cannot be any more than I am right now and it's OKAY in this moment...

"It's OKAY"...is the Practice of Patience

I like to call The Practice of Patience...my "Job Wait Ability"...he had everything and he then lost everything and then regained everything...

Hhhmmm?!?!!!....

*Disclaimer*

Using patience as an excuse to become or remain stagnant is NOT what I'm speaking on today.

The Practice of Patience I'm driving home is within the WORK you're doing to BEcome the BEST you ever. NO excuses fit into these levels of growth.

The work is HARD

The challenges we face are seemingly regular occurrences

The time we have to get the work done is short

The means are slim

The mountain is treacherous

The valley is uncomfortably low

The pressure is painful

But I'm doing my BEST with the me I am today...looking for an even better me of the future...I'm OKAY...I'll be patient with myself and The Universal Source which has EVERY THING in and of my Lyphe under total control.

Go KISS yourself. 

"It's OKAY"...looks Amazing on you.

I LOVE you. I want you to LOVE you MOST.
