Swirling all around me today is the notion to notice the contrast in our lives, then let it go and realize that it, too, is a blessing. Just this week, I wrote the following quote from Abraham-Hicks in my planner to serve as a constant reminder:
“You get to decide how good you want to feel.”
I went to bed last night with a major family issue swirling in my head. With it being bigger than me, I decided to hand it over to God and the Angels to work on it overnight. I asked for the peaceful resolution for all involved. So many teachers have told us, “Ask and it is given.”I decided to ask.
It was no surprise that the following message came to me on my Abraham-Hicks CD while driving to 5:30 am Jazzercise:
There are three steps to the process (paraphrased):
- Ask for what you want.
- Source delivers what you want. (You have no part to play in this step).
- Allow it to be delivered to you.
It is in Step #3 that we tend to muck things up. Worry, worry, worry, commiserate over and over and over on what is wrong, etc., etc. How do we expect to get what we want when that is what we hold in our energy vibration?
Might a better plan of action be to bless the process, see the Divine in each person, see the contrast as a blessing, fully expect and then feel the receiving of what you are asking?
I was copied on a message this morning from a very special lady, a beautiful person who is in a situation that most people would deem an utter impossibility. Listen to her philosophy:
“But I’m still blessed, you know? God has provided for us in so many ways. This phase is really helping me appreciate the basics I have to be thankful for – a job, a wonderful husband who is willing to take a break from his career to nurture our family, healthy / happy young daughters, friends, a roof over my head, our health….. I spent a lot of years crediting my own efforts for what I have, but now I really understand – they are all gifts from God and I need to appreciate them every day. What more can HE do if I trust in Him versus get angry or feel sorry for myself? I’ll just do the best I can and I know either things will break through here or another opportunity that’s even better will emerge.”
Is this person teaching us…“You get to decide how good you want to feel”?
As a response back to his friend, my husband shared this poem:
Remember to Love
For every act of rage,
There is child screaming to be on stage.
For every victim overcome with pain,
There is a being struggling to be sane.
Allow me to see the light in your eyes.
Beyond the darkness, there is a surprise.
For with every enemy, there is a common friend,
A demon shared with gentle innocence within.
Mistakes are reminders…wake-up calls
Shared not just by those we judge, but by all.
Look down not on those who fall,
But remember when you felt small,
Looking up for a guiding hand,
A gentle gesture from any woman, any man.
For compassion received or given
Is the first step for the forgiven.
Wisdom comes not from high learning
But is delivered to those yearning
To be kind to all they find,
Large and small,
Short and tall,
Foreign and common,
Enemy and friend.
There once was a man, proud and all alone
Whose wealth left him all on his own,
Who forgot how to love,
Who placed himself above
Those who were common in heart,
Those who took part
In living life, the good and the bad.
So sorry this man died so terribly sad.
- David K. Brown
Perhaps the biggest message of all is to remember to love, love all that is…
