Embracing Changes

There are forces at work in your psyche which you cannot control.
They belong to a deeper and wiser part of yourself.
Sometimes it is essential to change an aspect of your life.
This is often the case if you are in a situation which is wrong for you or stagnating. If you resist change, your unconscious wisdom may give you a push by causing a disturbance in your life.
The shock you experience may therefore be a way of forcing necessary change on you.
– Sarah Dening

 Change is the only real constant in our lives.  Energy is always in motion.

When we resist change, all we do is create discomfort for ourselves. We are always growing, and our perception is always changing.  When we try to remain steadfast in out perceptions when they're urging us to see differently, it creates pain.

When we go with the flow, and roll with the changes, and make the best of each situation while looking for solutions and comfort, we create an empowered and happy life for ourselves.

When we sit tight, insisting that we know everything, and we've reached our end, life tends to get more and more choppy around us.  Choppy and uncomfortable until our situation forces us into action and change.

Then once we change, our world levels out, and we find that peace and happiness again.  Even if only temporarily.  But our happiness is only temporary in this life model because we base our happiness upon our situation and circumstances.

Embracing the fact that life IS change creates an everlasting happiness that isn't dependent upon circumstances.  Knowing that change is ever coming toward you enables you to see your options and choose, instead of digging your heels in and refusing to move.

Change is exciting.  It's exhilarating to have endless options and choices, and the power to pick and choose and create.

Embrace your power to choose and change.  You have a guidance system inside of you to guide.  Allow it to show you the way.  It will never steer you wrong.

Roses

Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
- Proverb

I have been laid up in bed for three days with a wicked cold. It is my goal to have a post here before 11am every morning, and it is currently, as I type this, 10:43am.

Coming here to get a daily dose of depth is the only reason I sat up. Yup, I'm in my bed, with my laptop.

I am trying to be at peace with this virus and I'm having a little trouble :)

The roses.
I have nowhere to be, so no one is missing me, and I can take my time and not worry about it.

The kids are home on vacation, but they're older now and pretty darn self sufficient. They're actually taking care of ME.

The animals keep gathering around to snuggle me with their warm, furriness.

I have Frasier reruns on DVR to watch and a whole box of my favorite tea.

This is really my own fault. This is what I get for eating so so so much sugar over the holidays, not to mention the other unhealthy choices in food. I did a lot of drinking too, which is actually very unlike me, but done just the same.

I guess one can only weaken their body so much before dis-ease creeps in.
sigh*
This too shall pass.

Leave the Past & Love the Future

Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret, and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.
– Swami Sivananda

---

---

We've all made mistakes.  We've all acted in a way in which we are not proud.  We've all failed.

Dwelling in thoughts of past wrongs serves no purpose.  You will never feel bad enough to undo what's been done.

You can, however, identify the mistake and move forward focused on the solution.  Focused on the future.  Focused on replacing the grief of failure with rejoicing in success.

Cookies or Chasms

Creation is always happening. Every time an individual has a thought, or a prolonged, chronic way of thinking, they’re in the creation process. Something is going to manifest out of those thoughts.
- Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith

---

I think remembering this little piece of wisdom is HUGE.

I think this is what so many forget.   They stand on the edge, staring into the chasm of what they feel is missing and want to know what thoughts they should think in order to fill up the chasm with their manifested desire. All the while creating only a big, empty chasm, because that's the only thing they can see.

Chocolate Chip Cookie.

What thought came to your mind when I said that word?  I'd be willing to bet that 99% of you SAW a cookie in your mind.  You didn't think a word, you FELT like a cookie.

You likely have nothing but good feelings about cookies.  Even if you feel that you eat too many of them, or if you DO eat them, you will gain weight, you probably get a warm and comforted feeling from the image of that cookie in your mind.

That is the thought to embrace.

Lonely.

See.  That one didn't really have a picture, did it?  It was more of a chest centered feeling.

Clear picture or simple feeling, you are creating it.  You felt it, right?  And when you felt it, it became apparent in your energy field.  Not apparent as a cookie or a mate, but as a warm, comforted, happy energy or an empty, something's missing energy.

When you think about money while feeling that you need to manifest more, you're looking into the chasm and yelling "MORE!!!" and hearing "more.. more.. more.. more..." echoing back to you.

You are always creating.  Sitting here right now and reading this message, you are creating.

Are you creating cookies or chasms?
