It’s so easy to get
comfortable and merely exist (which I always confuse with living). Then like an
overpowering wave I’m knocked down, spun around, pushed into the sandy floor of
the ocean and dragged into shore. My initial reaction is fear, then pain, and
then I realize that life lies in that very moment. Life makes us so very vulnerable
and from there fear creeps into our thoughts and before we know it we have
locked ourselves up so tight we forget what life IS and how it FEELS to share
oneself.
Yesterday I felt like I was
crumbling. Reframing my thoughts today I can realize that I’m truly living, exposing
myself to the world and all its intensities.
"This is when
the magic happens: right when you feel like everything is going wrong, shift
your attitude to accept that it's actually going right. Our judgments of how we
think our life should be are preventing us from reaching our Highest Potential.
If you're going through a storm, hold the belief that it's the perfect storm
for you to be going through and that you've been given everything you need to
weather the storm. When the chaos subsides you will experience the Truth that
is forever true; you are always taken care of, exactly where you need to be and
your efforts are rewarded exactly when they need to be. Remember this Truth the next time a storm is on the horizon and you
will grow wings and be able fly right over it and towards the calm waters of
Trust and Love."

I’m alive and grateful for the sun rising this morning, for the big
silver moon that illuminated my room last night, and for each and every person
in my life.
For YOU I am thankful.
YOU are loved and
worthy of life.
