acceptance

Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.
Eckhart Tolle

I named this blog Abundant Aspirations because I wanted it to have a feel of abundance and all that I and you aspire to be and yet sometimes the shoes feel too big to fill. Sometimes I just feel like I’m trying to get a boulder up a hill with one hand and slippery shoes. So on those days I feel like I don’t have anything to give. I feel like my writing is skewed. So I’m just calling myself out. I like to do that. It gives me room to breathe.

I’m feeling lighter today. I can easily get overwhelmed by everything I have yet do and more importantly yet to be. I get caught up my own expectations of how things “should” move along and where I “should” be. I have discovered even though I have almost eliminated the word “should” from my vocabulary it is still very present in my internal dialogue. I’m a work in progress, that’s for sure.

So today I am feeling my abundant aspirations and I am grateful to be a work in progress. I am grateful for the acceptance I can give myself when all seems so daunting.
