"Change occurs only when we become what we truly are, not when we are trying to be something we are not. Change can't happen when we are trying to escape our true nature”--Lucy Edge
Once upon a time there was a miserable princess who did not realize how miserable she really was... One day she watched two old ladies. One of the ladies was kind and gave her opinions, good and bad with love and kind words, her family loved her and sought her out for her wisdom and kindness. The other old lady gave her opinions with harsh words and sharp tongue, consequently, her family feared to speak to her even though they loved her. The princess knew which woman she was destined to be and it made her sad. So, the princess made a decision that day to make some changes in her own life. She just had no idea where or how to start.
The princess was married to a very handsome, smart prince who saw what others around her did not. He saw how beautiful she was on the inside and how unhappy she was on the outside. He helped her with her wish to change. It was not easy and they often fought. He was a valiant and faithful man and he stuck by her side though the painful struggles.
The princess has always wanted to learn more about Yoga, and one day the she had the opportunity to learn. With the support and mentoring of some very caring people in her life she took many lessons over many years. The Yoga has made a big difference in her life and still continues too. She continues to learn and to further her training.
She then spent some time talking to a counselor. She found it helpful. But times were still tough in her life and she went back to another counselor for more help. She was determined to make some serious changes to her life. She wanted to change. In fact, she still strives to change and to be a better person each and every day. She reads, does Yoga, runs, and listens to the universe and learns from other positive, loving relationships in her life.
The princess slowly but surely eliminated the things in her life in which conflict was greatest. She tried hard to deal with the conflicts that she could not avoid in new ways. Sometimes, that included not talking about specific subjects or even taking a big step away from the situation. She even asked not hear discussion about things that might cause her to go back to her old ways and routine. Most of those that were close around her noticed her changes and she found her relationships with them changing in very positive ways.
Being a human princess, she still makes mistakes. Occasionally she finds herself back in her old cycle and in unhappy situations. Those times are unhappy ones for her even though she still learns something important about herself.
She is happier now as she surrounds herself happy, positive friendships and caring people. Her friends seem very surprised if she mentions a story about how she used to be in the past. Once upon a time, she used to push confrontation, now, she seeks harmony and prefers silence.
The Princess is still working to improve herself and she probably always will. Because life is an amazing journey and she intends to live it that way. Namaste.
