How many of us have been living in a world of what if’s and
how can I’s…If we believe we must struggle to have success or suffer to be
noble, we will walk around reaching for empty opportunities and cling to
other people’s ideas of who we are.
Too often I find myself trying to make my life into
something someone else thinks it should be. I stretch myself to create
something wonderful only to realize I was putting my power into empty shells of
truth and vacant moments created by fear.
We all know how paralyzing fear can be. It can ruin nations,
kill millions, and bring the most powerful people to their knees. Fear is
insidious. It can creep into our consciousness even when we think we’ve beaten
it back. It has a way lurking in the shadows of amazing moments, waiting for
the perfect time to rear its impervious head and tear our lives to shreds. But
what most people haven’t realized is that LOVE can penetrate the fear, dissolve
it, obliterate it, and stuff it back into the vast nothingness from which it
came.
All
you need is love…love is all you need. Who would have thought the
Beatles were so enlightened by singing a simple tune that carried so much influence?
But it’s true. Love is the most powerful thing in the world! It can heal
nations, give life to millions and has the ability to enlighten the most
powerful person in your life…YOU! That’s right, when you come from that place
within that’s filled with Love, Harmony, and Peace; suddenly other people’s
definitions of who you are…don’t matter, you find it’s much easier to be happy,
and you notice fear loses the hold it had on your heart.
Have you ever met someone who was super happy and wondered,
“What did they put into their Post Toasties this morning to make them so happy?”
Or you’re in a pissed off mood and someone smiles at you and it makes you stop
in your tracks. We are so conditioned in this culture to live in that space
between miserable and complacency that we’ve been blinded to what our true
potential and life should be.
We are supposed to live a life blanketed in Love,
Joy, Peace, Service, Prosperity, and Harmony. Think about it…If we weren’t we
wouldn’t long to have it. We wouldn’t cry when children hug their parent
returning from war, we wouldn’t have the butterflies in our gut when we fall in
love with someone, and we would have the desire to protect the innocent. We
wouldn’t experience the goose bumps that ripple across our skin when we see
something magnificent.
Life is the biggest miracle ever…period. It doesn’t take
someone to walk on water or feed the masses to realize what a miracle is.
What we need to do…and yes, I’m gonna tell you what to do.
We need to take a moment and think about how phenomenal our lives really are.
Every day we breathe, our heart beats, we think, and have thoughts, we talk, and
swallow, blink, and our blood flows through our veins...most of us can taste,
see, hear, and have the sense of touch. Miracles that occur every second of our
lives and yet we all tend to take for granted. So if there is a power that can
create such perfection (even when it’s perfectly imperfect) then we need to, in
the very least, acknowledge there is a power greater than us and we have a
right to use it.
It doesn’t take much more than a shift in our thinking; a different
perspective to the same situation. “You can’t change a problem with the same
mind that created it.” (One of my favorite quotes from Albert Einstein). It’s
time to wake up, take our lives in our own consciousness, and decide to be the
change we want to see in the world. It’ s time for us to change our consciousness…so
we can change our lives.
Thanks for hanging out and reading my ramblings!
