So, I'm doing Deepak Chopra and Oprah's 21 DAY Meditation Challenge on GRATITUDE. We're only on day TWO, and it's SO GOOD already. Today, Deepak told us that as we release gratitude, there's an exchange that happens, and more blessings come into you life. All I could think about was the church folk saying "when the praises GO UP, blessings COME DOWN!" This is obviously a universal concept.
But it reminded me of some decisions I've made to release some things, and the radiant NEWNESS that has come into my life as a result. I'm SO GRATEFUL that I understand this law. Sometimes, we want to hang on to what is familiar, even when it no longer FOR us, no longer WORKING, and couldn't hold a LAMPSHADE to the LIGHT that wants to INVADE our space. I thought about some opportunities I surrendered JUST for where I am now. Just the other day, I received a call for an opportunity on the "old page," and decided to hold out for a POTENTIAL situation on my NEW (NOW) page... I didn't know how it would pan out, but I trusted this law, and I trusted and honored where I am now. Potential has turned into reality, and I passed the test. I can hear everyone in an experiential workshop I participated in SCREAMING at me "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?" Well, I chose what I want(ed), when it was just a "ghost" and it manifested.
I feel settled and like I'm RIGHT where I belong. And it feels DAMN good. (Mon francais, je m'excuse...but this is the way I'm feeling). It feels SO good to be free, and to receive the GOOD that I've been avoiding, as I've nursed my complacency, fear and desire to "fit in," and not be "different." Freedom lives here. I love myself like a mug! lol And I love my NOW. Wouldn't trade it!
