An Enlighten Moment With Nature. . .

I was walking my dog the other morning, and I was in deep thought. I had been recently hurt by a good friend and was struggling letting go of the hurt. While I was walking, my dog gave a small bark, and I noticed standing on the other side of the street were two dear. I was surprised, because usually you don’t see deer at 9:30 in the morning.
As I stood gazing at them, and they stood watching me, I felt they were communicating with me and a sense of wonder filled me. I started to walk away, and I turned around to watch them gracefully fade away.
As I watched them trot gracefully away, I noticed how effortlessly they took turns taking the lead. There was no controlling, competition, or arguing.
Another thing I observed, they were a pair. It made me think, how companionship, friendship and support are really important.
I continued on my walk and started to feel an overwhelming feeling of compassion. Tears started to stream down my face, and as I continued to walk, I was overwhelmed with love.
I ponder the deer, because I knew they were a catalyst. And I asked myself the following questions: Why did the deer bring up this feeling of love and compassion? What do deer represent to me?
For me, deer represent grace and beauty, and then I knew, innocent. As I watched them, I felt their innocence.
At that moment, I realized we are all innocent, and we all deserve compassion.
As I continued my walk, I allowed my hurt and disappointment to melt away and be replaced with compassion. With each step I started to feel good about who I am.
I read once, that we can find answers in nature. And I did.
I am so appreciative of tapping into something higher then myself that morning. For when I felt the tears and the overwhelming love, I knew it was coming from a loving source.
When we hold on to hurt, disappointment, and blame, there is no room for love, understanding and forgiveness.
Start making room today!

This is great! Love to find info on gaining confidence.
What a beautiful article and such a great reminder to look around us, see the beauty in everything and remember that we all deserve to give and receive compassion.
So often people hurt us when they are actually hurting themselves for some reason – other times they hurt us because they are filling an emotional need in themselves.

Great and beautiful post. Your work is very good at inspiring my personal self confidence.

I think confidence is all about loving yourself. If you feel you have no self worth then you will never feel confident about yourself. I think this article hits on that point a tad too
I found a great community for confidence building at http://www.confidencebuddies.com and it’s all about increasing self worth too. I think you hit the nail on the head with this
This is an interesting article about the various aspects of confidencce. I have recently read a book which would support some of the statements but also it challenges some of the comments too. Well worth a read if you get the chance. The book is called Inspirational Leadership, the guy also rights a blog which also has some interesting views on management styles. Look for a blog by Harley Lovegrove.
Thanks for sharing this information. I will have to get a copy of this book.
Have a great day!

Great post. Thanks. We all deserve compassion, and we’re all innocent. That really spoke to me today.
great blog – people can achive so much once they have the confidence they need
I agree, the more confidence you have, the more you are willing to take a risk, the more you take a risk the more confidence you have…
It is such a shame that so many people fail to realise how much their confidence is holding them back, and it is sites such as this that will help them to realise their potential.
Interesting post, thank you for sharing it. I am currently building on confidence and I feel that the more happier you are with yourself, you tend to progress and develop as a person more.

Nature is a great way to relax and reflect to your own self. Nature helps us to find ourselves and help us gain self esteem and confidence.
Great story, it shows your vulnerability and your strength in letting go. To be confidient in life, is about learning what’s working and what’s not and then taking action. You chose to take the action of letting go, which has helped you move forward. My tip for gaining confidience in any situation is to ask yourself…”is it useful for me to behave this way?” If the answer is no, change your behaviour and adopt a different appach, as Diana did here. Love to hear your thoughts.
Very good post. I agree that “we are all innocent, and we all deserve compassion.” We also know it is short supply. The best thing to do is to practice it your self. You will feel better and you may start a “pay-it-forward” path for others.
I love the way you take the time out walking each day to just step back and reflect. I find just doing this for ten minutes a day helps me to let go anything distracting me, let go of the bad emotional and get back focused on the potential performance I can achieve.
