Growth.
I have been reading books from the teaching of Abraham by Ester and Jerry Hicks. There are so many things that I have learned doing some of the practices they share in the books. One of the greatest is “The book for Positive Aspect”. When I wake up each morning one of the first things I say is Good morning God and welcome to my day. It is my intention today to be the love of God. It is my intention to feel the love of God in every person I see and meet today. It is my intention to see the abundance and prosperity at every segment of my life experience today.
I love reading today, that is growth in and of its self. I am a great reader as well. I am learning that how I see myself, how I love myself is the way I allow others to love me. So if I feel I am not getting the love I want, the best to start is by asking myself what do I love about myself? What are my positive aspects? I am learning that no one can give me happiness. That is my job. Others can share with me, but it is up to me to let it in.
Growing up in the south was such a great blessing. Hearing the stories that it is better to give than receive. We all have our stories, and today I know that we all hear what we choose too. I know today that I heard it was selfish to receive. Today I know that there is great joy in both giving and receiving. Balance. Just rightness.
One of the reading today states that the best thing I can do for anyone I love is to be happy. And the very worst thing that I could do for anyone that I love is to be unhappy, and then ask them to try to change it, when there is nothing that anybody else can do that will make me happy. I love that. How many times in my life have I said, if this or that would change I would be happy? Why not just be happy?
When I heard the doctor tell me that I had cancer “Tant SO” I remember feeling fear and then the voice within me. That voice we all have that tells us when what we are doing is serving us in our growth or tearing us down. Said why not choose to laugh about it? As my friend Paris always shares “A merry heart does good like medicine” Proverbs 17:22
Each day I am alive every step I take is a choice. I can choose to stay in bed pull the covers over my head and hide, or I can engage in love, live, and happiness. I can choose to continue to hold anger, fear, hurt, past hurt, or I can choose to love today starting with me. One of the things I have learned in recovery is that if you want to change how I see someone in my life pray for them for 30 days. Pray for their good, their blessing, and their highest good. Watch what happens.
In 30 days your life will not be the same. It reminds me that each day I have a choice in everything I see. If I take it personally that is just how it will show up for me. If I look for something to be angry about I will find it. However if I choose to look for something to LOVE, something beautiful, something abundant I will find that too.
Today I choose LOVE!
