Tiredness Blocks Your Peace; Truth is Your Release

Tired, tired, tired is what a Soul sometimes screams from way down in an inner place no one wants to go, but suddenly, there you are, and there it is.
Ironically, life and what is factual about it often reveals that the feeling of exhaustion, being tired and weary did not just appear; they may have been building inside you, brick by brick, one layer at a time, and suddenly...
One more scream from your children, one more look of disappointment from your friend or mate, one more act of disobedience, being ignored and treated with less respect than you believe that you deserve will spill over into your reality, and TIRED IS WHAT a weary Soul Screams, and just one finally failing tear appears in the eye of one who sees hopelessness and despair that can no longer be silent.
But wait. Is that what the Soul sees, or is that just the result of failing to clear your consciousness of bulky, too-big issues and problems that you invited in and do not go away on their own?
The truth is sometimes we are not tired. We fail to realize that we are never wired to internalize, see, hear, say, or do. Some of the things we do and confront redirect or align your priorities, reorder your business, focus, concerns, and affairs, and will give you less Spiritual and emotional room and space to grow based on the plans that were created for you. If you are supposed to be writing a book, stop trying to draw pictures. If you are supposed to be washing a car, stop trying to imagine how a fruit tree should grow and focus on what is relevant to your intentions, needs, and goals.
Sometimes, we are just complainers. We are not tired at all. We are simply caught up in judging, doing, and trying to fit into our lives things that are out of order for us and our purpose. Get your mind in order. Your day will follow, and your peace will be improved.
It starts with honest self-evaluation and introspection that can lead to your spiritual elevation and personal adjustment, where being tired is not an option or a reality. The Wise will sit, consider, and rest and may come to new ideas that thrive on energy ability and creative flow from or to you for others. But when tired, they will not complain; they will find ways to realign themselves. The unwise will keep adding to already full plates of incomplete prior assignments that now do not even belong on the table of possibility or creativity and may never come to rest. Many times, we speak out of habit rather than the truth. And the truth often is that we are overly engaged, too usually, where we do not belong. We overfill and stuff our hearts, minds, and pockets of our Souls with useless facts and fiction that absorb our good intentions and equate to wasted time and energy. Sometimes, we devalue ourselves and our abilities because we overvalue our input, importance, and presence in many areas that disturb our peace. Stop worrying about your peace….and you will have more of that.
We sometimes clog the pathways to our mental, emotional, and Spiritual growth because we live in and tell lies, particularly in death. We have learned how to grieve, sometimes in the wrong way. Once we lose a “loved one,” we cry, hurt, and tell the lies that suggest that the deceased was such a loving, caring individual when, in truth, sometimes, we did not even like them very much. Maybe they were just plain, unlovable in life and filled your life with such great strife, and yet we seek to be seen as filling the role some expect us to display. Nope, nope, Nope, nope !…no! It is okay to know they did not return your love, took you for granted, or were mean and selfish. We act too often as though we are devasted by death when, actually, by it, we have been finally set free…from abuse and misuse. Stop lying and enjoy your new freedom….and your truth. -k.
Stop letting people be rude to you. They belch in your ear, talk with a mouth full of food, expel gas in your space, and do things in your presence that they would not ever do in the presence of others. To others, they may be professional and respectful, but when you know their truth, you can see that they are aware that their behaviors and responses are crude and that they are just selfish and rude when meeting your expectations. Stop tolerating the nonsense and behavior that allows them to openly and consistently express the truth that they think less of you…than they do --of others. -k.
You have shared facts that many are too fearful to allow themselves to feel, let alone speak above a whisper! Awesome!
