Now What? Getting On with Life


So that just Happened...Now What?

💓You completed your cancer treatment and just got a clean bill of health. You're quietly relieved. Now What?

💓You focused for a year on creating a spectacular wedding that was a beautiful, warm event. You're tired and happy. Now What?

💓You finally got pregnant and just delivered your first baby. You're tired and in love. Now What?

💓You just lost faith in your current job and you're contemplating your future. You're weary and discombobulated.  Now What?

💓You've been looking forward to retiring and the big day is finally here. You're excited and scared. Now What?

The answer to 'Now What?' is always the same--no matter what the situation--good or bad:
"Accept What Is; Release What Was; Create What Must Be".  Andrea Balt

"Why should I be unhappy? Every parcel of my being is in full bloom." Rumi

All Things Seemingly Good or Bad Work in My Favor

Staying engaged in life is about putting one foot in front of another whether you're recovering from or stepping into a scary experience, or coming down from a long anticipated happy event. There's always the next step. 

If you accept 'all things seemingly good or bad work in your favor' you'll condition yourself to always take that next step towards the sun, preparing yourself to be in 'full bloom' and happy.

"Hope is like the sun, which as we journey towards it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us." Samuel Smiles

The trick is to recognize which way the sunshine is--i.e. what is the life path that will give you the brightest rays of hope and the sunniest disposition.  You've got to name what it is you want in your next phase of your journey and focus your attention with the brightest laser beam on the step that will open up the most light into your life--and then take it.

We all have our moments of doubt, when we question if the good news or happy times will be followed by bad; or we wonder if we'll ever get out of the difficult times. But the more we choose to step towards the sun no matter what, the more sunshine fills our lives.

"There was never a night or problem that could defeat sunrise or hope." Bernard Williams

Here Comes the Sun

💓What do you need to accept about your current situation?
💛What do you need to let go?
💜What do you need to create to let the sun into your life and future?

Well Stephers, I'm going to assume this post was from Stephers and Jetter--as the names go together and Jetter is pure sunshine! Wishing you, Dean and the sunshine boy happy trails as you go on your next great adventure. Missing you already!
