Where am I running? What am I looking for? It seems like a funny idea
and yet I, like many others, am running towards a utopia that I will
never find. Sometimes I think that human beings are designed this way,
programmed in constant search of a light at the end of the tunnel.
What
does it take to live peacefully in the moment? How can I be fully
satisfied with the status quo? Perhaps I need to live for today - accept
life the way it is exactly at this moment and stop trying to change
things. The universe is in constant change and yet all I really want to
do is hold still - to be still in a moment where there is no fear, no
pain, hurt, guilt or shame. Is this peaceful moment now? If it doesn't
feel like it can I imagine it and then it will appear? If I imagine it
is now - will it stay?
I am always advising others that no matter
what our situation, we are always in full control of our own actions.
Perhaps this peacefulness I seek is a choice. Maybe I have to choose to
let the binding emotions go - to release fear, guilt, shame, anger,
resentment and all other harmful emotions and just be still. Just exist
in peace with myself regardless of where I am and what my circumstance.
Will
this choice to allow peace in the moment have any impact on my destiny?
If energy is always flowing then I always have energy inside of me. If
my energy goes from negative to positive will my life change? My guess
is yes - and I think the reason is simple:
1)LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE:
If my energy is positive I have more positive energy coming in to my
life. If negative energy surrounds me I will act as a magnet for more
negative energy.
So how do I change my energy?
2)FOR EVERY
ACTION, THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION: It takes incredible
strength but I must exert only positive energy to change my life and
re-establish the energy that surrounds me.
But here is the trap:
If
I am in an abyss of negative energy I feel that I am stuck. I can't
change my circumstance. I feel I am a victim of a curse - bad luck. It
is easy for me to feel this way but as long as I do I am stuck.
So the question is - NO the CHALLENGE is how do I stake steps to change the energy that surrounds me from negative to positive?
The
only thing that is for sure is that I am in full control of my own
actions. Even the choice not to act is an action. Every choice I make is
an action which I have full control over. I can change my situation by
changing myself.
Until I change myself I will be stuck in my own curse.
This is why God brings people into my life to remind me of the choices that I have.
So
the choice is simple: will I seek pay-back or pay it forward? Will I
choose to feel anger or see the lesson to be learned? Will I act in a
way that is selfish or selfless? Will I be a victim of my circumstances
or a warrior fighting to achieve my goals? Will I choose to let small
things bother me or will I choose to let them go? Will I throw a
pity-party or believe that I am worthy of all the goodness, prosperity
and blessings that God has to offer?
