a "What If?" moment
I was thinking about my grandchildren. Many who haven't even arrived yet. I think of the ones who are teenagers already. My son Reece is still a teenager too. He's an independent adult, but he's 18.
Here is my What If? moment from this morning. What if you decided to believe that everything in This Life is designed to give you more power? And what are you doing with that power?!
I have a daily affirmation. Repeat after me: "I am a force to be reckoned with!"
Every single emotion can be channeled into a greater purpose. Everything from pain to boredom. All of it is a driving force towards something. You just need to choose something. Besides feeling sorry for yourself. Choose carefully. Give it some thought. Before someone else's passion swallows you up. And even that is not a waste. But then you tend to wake up one day and wonder how you got where you are. And why.
What if no day in your life has ever been Truly Wasted? Every day is a building block to our Human Experience. Having a hard time? Write a love song. People love a song that makes them cry. What are you feeling right now, as you read this? Can you describe it? Are you happy or angry? People are rarely neutral, but it's a great goal. Until you start to ignore what you're feeling. Are you angry? Why are you angry? What are you going to do with that anger? Are you feeling a bit of anxiety? Why? What are you going to do with that anxiety? Even here in Samara, living the good and simple life in a village in the tropics I ask the same questions. Am I happy? Yes. Why am I happy? I have left behind many things that made many demands on my time and energy, pulling me in too many directions. What am I going to do with that happiness? Change the world.
G-Ma says: People's hearts are unstable and foolish. Get used to it. All the more reason to keep trying. When people talk about me, 2 things usually come up. Being Nice. Being Patient. The most patient person they know. Let me tell you something! Those 2 things are a choice. I am far from perfect. I just keep trying. I am not a woman who came from some perfect and easy life. My Indian name is Fighter of Dark Bear. Or, She Who Struggles. I just decided to turn the pain into creative challenges. The pain is deep. What we do with that deepness, that's up to us. For me, as a result, I am dedicated to being nice. And being patient. I have run through the Darkness, so I now embrace the Light. All the heavy burdens of my life have taught me to help others in their time of need. But with all schooling, it's not what is taught, it's what we learn. I've learned that life is more fun when I throw kindness like confetti.
One of my favorite places for daily perspective is tut.com They send me daily emails. Here is a recent one:
You can rest assured, Suzette, that those who have hurt you had absolutely no idea of what they were doing nor what might come from it.
It never occurred to them that you'd become even more magnificent. That they'd be invoking your sympathy, adding to your compassion, and increasing your "sparkles." And it will still be eons before they can grasp that you actually welcomed them into your life for some of these very reasons.
Cute.
Love you with all of my heart,
The Universe
