having it all

"You have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now."
Wayne W. Dyer

It’s hard to really hear that sometimes because I know for myself that I will think, yea if I just get this one thing sorted out or I just need to figure this out And then it’s all gonna be good.  It’s such a practice of stillness and appreciation to be able to completely stop and acknowledge that I have it all right now.  I don’t need more to be more.  I think I need to say that again, I don’t need more to be more.
It makes me stop in my tracks.  It makes me feel peaceful and then I get an anxious feeling.  I want to fight it.  I some how let the feeling of being incomplete dictate my self worth instead of acknowledging that it will never all be complete. My life will never be wrapped in a neat box which says my life is in order and I have arrived.  “Life is about the journey and not the destination” has never been so prevalent.  What a test, to be able to stop in middle of everything, in the middle of panic, in the middle hurrying to get something done, in the middle of breakdown- to be able to say, “I have everything I need for complete and total happiness right now in this moment with life just the way it is.  Now that’s powerful.  It is a reminder that all of this stuff we are so busy with is not who we are, it’s just our stuff.  And stuff is just stuff.

Today I grateful for the gentle reminders everywhere that life is an adventure.
