Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now; you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality.
Wayne Dyer
I was looking at my dog, petting her and talking to her saying how wonderful her life must be. She has no worries. She doesn’t need to worry about food or shelter or companionship. It’s all here, it’s all provided. Ok maybe this sounds silly but there was something that I saw in this moment. I caught a vision. I saw my life through her eyes. Why do I make mine so hard? Do I not think the universe provides for her and not for me in the same way? I have everything I need exactly when I need it. It is my own limitations that stunt my growth. It is only in my fears and doubts that life is hard and a struggle. I have everything within and yet I am staring at my dog seeing her blessings unable to see my own. I think we all do it. We plead our case why life is difficult, why struggle is just part of life. Is it? Or do we infuse struggle because we don’t know how to just accept life. It reminds me of when I see Tai Chi. It’s peaceful movement without struggle. It’s the ultimate acceptance of what is. What if we thought of our life as peaceful movement accepting and giving as if to be in motion with life? Ooooh I like that. Makes me want to learn Tai Chi.
I noticed myself today wanting to go into struggle mode. I literally felt myself being pulled into the heaviness of life. I am grateful for a way out. I am grateful for my center which speaks even if so softly sometimes that I can barely hear….but it speaks. Something in me knows better. Something in me knows to choose the light over the darkness. I choose light. I choose a life of joy, peace and happiness.
What do you choose for yourself today? Do you want to live in lack or do you want to live in abundance? Just be conscious of your choice.
Today, I am grateful for a new day. I am grateful for a peaceful send off of my brother yesterday. We wrapped up our visit with much love and understanding for each other. I look forward to our next visit.
