Confirmation.
I am reminded this morning how the presence of Source is shown to me through “coincidences” or synchronicities. It has taken may years for me to move away from my old limiting beliefs and open my mind to seeing and acknowledging the signs of God working in my life. Daily I put my trust in […]
Love for others.
It was important for me to make a distinction between having Love for other and being in love with others. For a long time, I did not make any distinction and when I failed to have the same feelings for every person I believed I was committing some type of sin. When I felt hate […]
Remaining calm.
I used to fight to stay calm. Only to explode in frustration, anger, and rage later. Or I would fall into a ball and cry because I was again a failure. It was through accepting that fact that I have other feelings and emotions that I started to feel calm. It was after I let […]
At the center.
I am reminded of the benefits of keeping the Spiritual at the center of my life. The material world is of great use to me. And I have learned that when I focus first on the Divine then the material things in my life will become of their proper use. Each morning when I wake […]
Be gentle
I am reminded how my favorite encounters with other beings have been when I was gentle with them. I can admit how I have not always been gentle. There were many years I was living in fear, and I defended myself by being intimidating, threatening, and angry. I did not realize I was living in […]
To match the frequency.
I am reminded that if I want to match the frequency of God, I must first acknowledge a need and a desire for Love. When I was unaware of my imbalances and I acted out in ways which hurt myself and others I didn’t know what I didn’t know. As my desperation increased my contempt […]
Simple acceptance.
I have been practicing seeing life through a new filter. “Everything in my life happens as it should for my greatest good.” I have found myself enjoying life more. I have fewer times of frustration, annoyance, irritation, depression, anxiety, or rage. I noticed that I get to drive without getting angry at others. I can […]
From arrogance to Love
I have had good intentions. I have tried to pursue those intentions and force them to happen. I was fearful of other people’s reactions, and I covered that fear with arrogance. I tried to correct people who did not need correction. I have tried to tell people the “right” way to live without them asking. […]
Released.
I spent many years enslaved by other people’s opinions. Not by force of the others, only through my own insecurities. Their opinions were simply their own insecurities being projected onto me and that equals my insecurities being mirrored back to me. As I have grown along in my understanding, I discovered how no one’s opinions […]
Have to, want to, get to.
This was the process I experienced during my early years in recovery. I had to get sober in order to live. I learned a new way of life because I wanted to find happiness. I get to stay sober for it is a gift. It is through acceptance and appreciation that I enter each day. […]
