are you ready?

Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is an adequate perception of the world.

Hans Margolius.

Are you ready to start living a life that you love? Yes, we are all exactly where we are supposed to be in this moment, experiencing the good, the bad and the ugly AND your life can change if you change your perception of it. So much of the pain and torture that we experience in our life is our inflexibility to see something another way or our inability at times to try a new direction. If you stop pushing against the things in your life that seem insurmountable and focus on the things that you can effect then the whole picture can change.

If you often get frustrated during your day, maybe you can ask yourself why am I so bent? Do I want someone else to act differently? Do I want something to change so that I can be ok? If you stop looking at the problem and start focusing on changing your perception suddenly your world will change. We have more power in our lives then we give credit. We think things have to turn out the way we want in order to be content. Can you be flexible and take the circumstances you have and look at them from a different angle? If you can find something to be grateful for, if you can stop trying to control everything…you will start to experience a freedom you never knew possible. Can you stop talking about people and stop putting things in your head that have nothing to do with your life? Let sensationalism go so that your life can expand.

I know it all sounds crazy and impossible. Why would we want to let go of so many things that entertain us? I am just suggesting that if you are at least aware of what your attention is on than maybe you can see the power of focusing on something else. I am speaking of this first hand. The more I focused on my business and what wasn’t working, the more frustration and breakdown showed up. In the midst of the chaos I just stopped and the world did not fall apart. I caught my breath and realized that I could step outside the confinement of my problems. I found freedom.

I am breaking apart the shoulds in my life and relaxing in the what is. Try it, see what happens.

Today I am grateful for everything in my life exactly the way it is.
