in this world we are taught to be strong and independant, dont be taken advantage of, if you dont want to do something, say no. then we are also taught compassion, help others, give of yourself. and we return to dont be taken advantage of. it is a confusing and fine line to find the balance between the two. if you help too much, you are a sucker, if you turn away you are cold. i think i would prefer to be a sucker and take an occasional hit than be harsh, cold and lonely. it seems that the fine line carries through most situations we face. parenting is a fine line of love and compassion weighted by rules and discipline. marriage walks that line as well, listening and communicating, is a tough balance. we are all trying to walk straight on that line, we may fall off, we may stray but we are all seeking that balance to continue forward. you can accomplish anything you want, strive for more, be the best!! all good things but we also need to accept what we have, enjoy what we have, be comfortable with what we have. i am realizing that i am okay with just being a mom. i feel trained to yearn for more, the studio, financial freedom, ways to volunteer, my mind is always dreaming of projects, ideas and businesses. after giving up the studio my goal is to feel fine doing one thing well, to be a better more attentive and focused mom. i am achieving that, small steps and i have seen improvement in my children, in our conversations and in our time together. i am not so torn in different directions, i am focused on my household. that may seem like an easy task, rest assure it is not. it is monotonous, boring at times and extremely overwhelming at other times. a yogi, reverand jaganath, once said, when you feel frustrated/ annoyed, ask yourself.... what is it that i want to be doing at this moment? that want is usually something selfish, or nothing at all. that simple question really helps put each crazy situation into perspective. it helps me, i hope it helps you too!!
