Daily Reading - Allen James' Daily Guide to Success series - "The Journey: A Calendar Book"

Hoping your weekend was a great one.....our readings for yesterday and today are taken from "The Journey: A Calendar Book" and are as follows, May 19th first, then May 20th...

"Once you've taken time to grieve, LIVE".

One of our greatest defeats in this world is becoming "attached" to our grief. For many it somehow seems to keep them connected to their loss; for others it becomes a cross they feel they must bear. Still others maintain a sense of guilt attached to their trauma, feeling as though if they "move past" it they are in some way not staying true to themselves.

Just as it is vital to our emotional self to take the time to grieve, it is VITAL to our personal success to LIVE after we've taken the time we need.

Of course you'll find a plethora of opinions about how to actually get on with the process of living following a time of grieving, and you'll certainly be given advise from numerous friends in moving on, but only you know how to LIVE your life. While it's a good thing to listen to others and their "advice"....listen to yourself more than anyone else. Just as you know when you've grieved "enough", you as well know how to step past the edge of grief and walk into your NEW life, for it is exactly this, a NEW life after grief, after trauma, after loss, after love.

Keep looking up. : ) AJ
