“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”   – Brene Brown

How often do we label our life as “Easy” or “Difficult”?  How often do we define the way we are feeling with what is happening in our life right now?  It always comes down to this, either we allow life and everything that it presents, or we resist it.

When we resist life and resist what is happening to us with thoughts and actions to change or control it differently,  we stop the flow of abundance and the answers that help us accept the situation.

Our mind keeps us imprisoned and convinces us it is keeping us safe, when infact, if we step out of these conditioned thoughts and into the unknown of life each day, we become in sync with the flow.

Life is what it is and when we are able to stop attaching our illusions and emotions to this reality, we may just find that we can see life as perfect right now and that it is only our attitude towards this moment that makes it difficult.

Our minds are powerful tools that can take years off our life because we refuse to see what it is right in front of us.  Becoming aware and awake of how we make our lives challenging and how we block the flow is the answer to allowing life to happen as it should.

We are creating the obstacles not anyone else.  Our thoughts and choices are our own and create the world we live in right now.  When you live believing that another situation in the future will be what makes you happy or content, you will be sadly disappointed.  You need to find it in your life now, and realise your life could not be more perfect, that there is no other place you should be but here.

Focus on relieving your mind of this clutter and busyness and as you let go and surrender, you will find you will  receive what you need in the perfect time.

“…and that visibility which makes us most vulnerable is that which also is the source of our greatest strength.”  Audre Lorde

“The future depends on what you do today.”   – Mahatma Gandhi

When we feel lonely, fearful  or disconnected, it is because we have become separated from the oneness of life and from ourselves.

The longer we abandon ourselves and ignore the messages of the heart, the lonelier we become.  We try to find this connection by looking outwardly or by distracting ourselves from our pain and the truth that faces us.

The more we run from this moment of pain or difficulty the more we separate ourselves from the healing energy of love and acceptance that leads us to what we need.

We are currently looking to buy a home and the timing of us moving out of our existing home is not in sync with buying and so we now need to rent.  This of course doesn’t seem like a big problem but it can be when I start looking too far in the future and allow worry and fear to set in.

When I stray from working in the present moment and all that it has for me, I lose sight and get caught in the illusion of doubt which leads me to make decisions based on fear.

When I stay connected to this moment, I remember that I can trust in a process that comes to me rather than me chasing it.  When I feel the abundance and love in this moment I know I have everything I need right now, the rest comes to me in perfect timing.

There is nothing easy about this practice and yet the alternative is fear, doubt and stress. Become still in your doubt, become still in your pain and accept it exactly as it is today.  Do not fight or resist this pain or it will continue to stay with you until you let go and allow.

“All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital, and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.”   – Martha Graham

“You are essentially who you create yourself to be and all that occurs in your life is the result of your own making.” – Stephen Richards

The moment we begin to trust our Powers of Mind or our inner-mind power, is the moment we become aware of the power we have to solve all of our problems. It is also the moment when we become aware that our toxic beliefs and values are responsible for the current conditions in our lives.

“Minds are like flowers….they only open when the time is right.”

Just like we cannot make others see our point of view or way of thinking at times, so it is with our mind.  We must allow the process to unfold in our own time and it is only then, we can view the world with different eyes and knowledge.

Often our desires for acceptability cause us to live outside of our Powers of Mind.  Unfortunately, in this outside world we can only know what others have taught us and so it is up to us to change those old patterns of approval and discover our own unique power and wisdom within.

Similarly, we become different whenever we change our beliefs and values. This change doesn’t represent enlightenment but the awareness of its existence in our minds.  It is through this change of behaviour that our mind can expand and so we begin to believe something other than what we have always known.

When we connect to this amazing power of our mind we then have the clarity we need to awaken our minds to perceive illusions as illusions. It confirms that reality exists only in our minds and so it is only us that can change how we perceive every situation.

Taking responsibility for this is difficult as the buck stops with us.  Knowing that we cannot blame our circumstances or those around us is the first step in taking charge of this amazing power in our mind and allows our life to transform dreams into reality.

“The discontent and frustration that you feel is entirely your own creation.” Stephen Richards

Take time to find what resonates and challenges you to expand your thoughts, beliefs and power of mind.  In seeking this knowledge you will always be amazed that the expansion of our mind is limitless and the more you learn, the less you know.
