than I must do more, be more, know more -- right?
OR is it ultimately about Accepting more?
I'm gonna go with the latter.
I must be open, willing and humble and then I can see that I already have it all, I just didn't see it because I was busy being in the lack. I was busy in the wanting.
I get to see that what I was wanting in the first place was just more of me - being me.
What a gift- me just being me. Try it. Give yourself the gift of being you.
Just a thought.
I started blogging about 8 years ago first as Ask Ash and then Abundant Aspirations. Sort of like me and my personality- I was consistently inconsistent. Sometimes writing everyday, sometimes once a month and then sometimes many months might go by.
But the one thing that has always been consistent is that I start with a quote. And today I wrote my own. I am returning to writing at the wonderful consistently inconsistent pace of before. Yay Me.
But today I am different. I guess we are all different. It's the nature of time and space to change and learn and grow from where you were to where you are now.
Today I am 42 years old and on the wave of this amazing year (2015) which has already altered my awareness and given me the great opportunity to expand on ACCEPTANCE like as a treat, a gift and a way to true happiness.
Now don't get me wrong - the great gift of acceptance is not wrapped in a pretty bow and usually you are not so excited to receive it. But after you receive it and ACCEPT it- it brings you gifts that you could have never imagined.
The beautiful gifts of Acceptance come because you must broaden your sense of self and realm of experience. It's like you can physically feel it expanding. It's not the best feeling at first but kind of like a muscle you are building, it stretches and expands and with that comes more strength more endurance and best of all more confidence.
So much has happened in the past few months to help me stretch and stretch some more when I thought I couldn't. It didn't kill me and I honestly have to say it made me stronger. It's making me stronger. I'm still in it and such as life will always be in it.
Just like building that muscle- it is constant. And it's never done. It is forever expanding and unfolding.
Yes you will be challenged and always always there will be a gift in the challenge and it will bring something that you never thought possible. It will bring you closer to you.
Today I am grateful that I arrived at acceptance.
