If Change is Inevitable, Embrace It!

Let’s Be the Change by Gia Dalton OMTimes Magazine March 2017 B Edition page 84

We have all heard the saying “Change is inevitable”. But have we truly accepted that ideology? Often we resist truly grounded change due to fear, pride and unbelief. We resist the unknown because we don’t know what is waiting for us on the other side.

Sometimes our pride gets in the way and we can’t admit we were wrong. Perhaps an ideology that we held close to heart, no longer resonates. The problem is we have preached that ideology for so long, our pride stands in the way of admitting that particular ideology no longer works.

To save face, we stand behind something we don’t believe in anymore. Or plain ol’ unbelief. We lack the type of belief needed to surrender everything we are struggling with. We lack the trust needed to know that God has made a way, even if we can’t see it…read more

Somewhere Over the Rainbow                                                          by Gia Dalton

“We all have dreams, which include thinking about what life will be like down the road. How much happier we will be when we get our degree, car, home or move to a new location. We continuously look over the rainbow, as it seems much more appealing than where we are, and what we have now.

Understanding it will take hard work, commitment, perseverance and often sacrifice we adjust our daily routine. Instead of going out for coffee we make one at home. We cut coupons, shop frugally, and do not accept every invitation to dine out or attend social gatherings. Instead of going on vacation, we save. We work extra hours or take a part time job in addition to working a full time one. At night, we grab something to eat, shower, get a few hours of sleep and wake up, only to do it all over again.” read more 

Waiting for the Green Flash

Waiting for the Green Flash

by Gia Dalton

“Most of us have heard of the elusive green flash. The optical phenomena that prompt people from around the world to stand seaside facing the sun. With eyes transfixed on the horizon, we wait to catch a glimpse of the green rays that suddenly shoot outward from the upper rim of the sun. Legends say that once a person has witnessed it, they will never go wrong with matters of the heart again. No wonder so many long to see one.

What if waiting to see a green flash in hopes of being magically exempt from heartache is nonsense? Nothing more than a legend, and waiting for anything actually prohibits us from living today?

Can waiting for “true love” turn into a quest akin to waiting for a green flash? It can get lonely stuck in a perpetual state of waiting, whether its waiting for a green flash, or true love. Yet, adamantly, many of us refuse to settle for anything or anyone less than our elusive and mysterious special occurrence!

Returning day after day at sunset, feet firmly planted in the sand, eyes fixed on the sun, we patiently wait for our infamous love…the green flash. Finally, on a seemingly ordinary day, it arrives, and the vision is extraordinary. A wave of reassurance rushes through our body, filling the space where doubt once lived. Our spirits renewed. Matters of the heart from this day forward will be perfect.”  read more

Survival in the Female Tribe : Praisers, Critics, and Validation  

by Gia Dalton

“Why is it that some women are always the ones giving compliments and praise, while others find fault and make harsh irrational judgments?

In an instant, we can put a face to the praisers in our lives, as well as the judges and critics. Then there are those who fall into the category of passive. They say nothing, good, bad or indifferent. Our friends become mentors, helping us navigate through life. They tell us harsh truths and realities. Hence, these are the kind of things we may not want to hear or admit.

Much of what we feel about ourselves is attached to what other people think. In turn, we crave attention and validation, thinking we need it to survive. Perhaps we weren’t validated as children. Perhaps, we pose as self-assured, alluding confidence. That is only partially true, as deep inside we do not always feel that way. “ read more

All You Get Is A Watch ?

All You Get is a Watch ? 

by Gia Dalton

Are You Following Your Life Purpose? 

“Someone once said that after thirty years of service the only thing they received at retirement was a watch. This conversation has been repeatedly spoken. Imagine working thirty years and feeling that a watch was the sum total of all that time and effort ? All you get is a watch…  Many people don’t even get that. They are lucky to get a party and a cake. How very sad to live a life not realized.

God did not put us on this earth for that. We may not be sure why He did put us here. But we know it isn’t  for a watch. In order to find or reveal our life purpose we need to do what we feel passionate about, not just one time, but every day. Leaps of faith and risk taking can ultimately lead us to our life purpose. Our divine destiny. Which is why it’s so important to invest time and effort in more than one direction, careful not to put all our eggs in one basket.  Are you determined to find out what your passions are? What will lead you to greater fulfillment?…”

A Message From The Creator Of The Universe

A Message from the Creator of the Universe

by Gia Dalton

“And there it is, a big, profound message disguised as a trivial little text. This may not be the mystical, magical way we have envisioned a message from the Creator of the Universe would arrive. A message of such importance needs a grandiose entrance with trumpets and horns. Not necessarily….

Scratching our head, we wonder how in the world a text message could clearly illuminate life at that moment. Although cleverly disguised as an innocent text, it’s hardly menial. It could have been ridiculously infantile, yet oddly, divinely orchestrated to be a catalyst for tremendous change. The world stands still. We catch our breath, realizing things need to change, as years, months and moments flashed before our eyes.

Staying in a secure place, may offer a sense of stability, but we can stagnate. If you feel a calling to be more, heed that call. Messages in any form, are meant to initiate “becoming.” They are asking us to change, evolve, and grow… ”

Learn Something Death Cannot Destroy

What can you learn in life that death cannot destroy? Most people don’t want to learn about what they already know, or what they necessarily agree with. They want to be intrigued and challenged, perhaps even uncomfortable or angry. They want to learn something so profound it touches the very core of their being. It becomes part of who they are. It ignites a fire inside that cannot be denied, and death cannot destroy.

Why You Should Thank Closed Doors

OMTimes Magazine January 2016 Personal Growth Page 94

Why You Should Thank Closed Doors

“Are you feeling down because a door closed that you had wished was open? Do you have difficulty letting it go? Sometimes closed doors can be your biggest break in a world of conscious change. Looking back, you may discover the closed doors were part of a greater plan and was actually designed for your highest good. Without those closed doors, you may not be where you are today or where you are meant to be tomorrow.

When you can experience closed doors as a positive that is leading you to something even better, your perception of closed doors will change. Open doors have closed doors to thank. Learn to love the doors that close as much as the one’s that remain open. When a door closes, it is an awesome opportunity for another to open. Be thankful, as the next door could lead to something even better than you had hoped for or expected.”
