This Labor
Day weekend as I was thinking about why I had let myself get upset it hit me. I
was mad and I felt we had wasted so much time walking around the woods but then
I thought why didn’t I just accept we were lost and laugh? Thinking about this
I began to see how in many situations I chose to feel negative instead of
choosing to feel at peace with everything and just simply be in the moment. It
began with thinking of small moments to seeing the bigger picture and that was
looking at every part of my life. The big chunks consisted of my most important
relationships like the one with my fiancé, close friends and family. And then I
began to notice all the things I didn’t like and yes most of the things I
didn’t like had to do with myself, my own behavior and attitude. As this began
to play in my mind it suddenly hit me. As we are ending 2012 there is this keen
awareness about the things we don’t like and about the things we have to do in
order to live a better life and be better human beings. It is as if we are clearly seeing without any
obstacle or illusion all the things that we need to change. We are no longer at
a point where we must be submissive to our daily drama and think there is no
opportunity for change. Or where we can keep repeating the same mistakes and
keep reliving the same attitudes and beliefs that are plain out negative and
out dated. We are in a time right now where we know exactly what needs to
change in order for us to be more joyful and loving. We see it, we hear it, we
feel it and we know it. It is there in front of us in our thoughts and in our
observation. Spirituality in a way is becoming simple. It is helping us to see
and feel what we know is no longer our truth and what is not working for us
anymore. This sense of awareness is helping us to simply accept it and let it go.
In other words we are aware of what is holding us back from being the best
person we can be and what is holding us back from living the most beautiful
moments that can exist in our lives. So many times we have seen our own family
and loved ones cling to their beliefs and attitudes. Maybe down the road
someone taught us that there is no way to change our feelings and situation. It
is just the way things are don’t bother rising above it because if your loved
one couldn’t why should you? And that my dear ones is no longer the truth. You can change your beliefs and attitude. You
are a powerful and conscious being. There is no mystery to what is hurting you
and keeping you stuck. The only thing there is left to do is to take action. To
be loving and forgiving of yourself as you are trying to make changes. Do not
be over critical or obsessed either. Just trust that you are doing the best you
are and love yourself in every moment. Be brave in creating the kind of life
you believe in and deserve. Being patient is good too. Practice as much as you
can to create better feelings in yourself and in your relationships. If you
don’t practice or do anything nothing will change and you will not reap the
rewards of creating new life. Give your creative nature and power a chance. You
are a co-creator with God. When you decide to do something different and follow
through with it you create a change. And that change is also energy. The
energies shift, you shift and so does your consciousness. Blessings to you and I hope this helped you in
some way. I know I have a lot to do and I will no longer be afraid of stepping
up and owning my life.
Love and Light
