I've been trying to write this blog for several weeks. Each time I start, something interrupts and I never complete it. I don't fight it when this happens, I just figure it's not time to write it yet and move on.
In the last post on change, I spoke about a woman that had marveled at how much I've changed over the last year. I have had two more experiences similar to that in the last week. Neither person had seen me in almost a year and each couldn't believe how different I seemed. One said that I seemed so peaceful and the other wanted to know how I had let go of the fear (that's another discussion for another day).
I find it remarkable how people can see on your face when your life has changed. Fortunately for me, my life has gotten exponentially better over the last year. This is not always the case. However, even when the change doesn't feel that great, it is still a joyful occurence.
But, how can that be you may ask? Since the only constant in life is change, the sooner we accept the joy of change the easier it will be to live with it. Change is neither good or bad, it just is. How you react to the change is where the difference lies.
What has been revealed to me, as of late, is this incredible light that shines within me. Everyone has it, to some it is a much dimmer, distance light, for others it is like a beacon shining directly out of their face. I'd like to think that my light is growing brighter and that is why people are marveling at the change in my appearance.
I have spent the last several months letting go of a lot of preconceived notions about myself and my life. I have opened myself up to the possibilities of life and people keep bringing me new options. "Have you considered doing this or that?" When at least 3 people say the same thing, I start to think something might be there to explore. You know that you're following the right path when people begin trying to shine a light on your path for you.
The biggest change that I have been conscious about is not deluding myself any longer about having control. I know that I can only control myself, no one else, no situation, nothing other than me. My ego interferes, not as much as it used to. But, I am human, I have just begun to seek true enlightenment, so cut me some slack.
The thing that releasing the idea of control has done is allow me to change direction pretty quickly. I have a clear understanding that people won't just do what I want them to do. Nature will not just behave the way I want it to. And no one seems to just give me what I want because I have a nice face. So, if a situation doesn't go as planned, then I have to change the plan.
This has also allowed me to let go of a lot of fear. If I can't control what's going to happen, only how I react to it. Then being fearful of what may or may not happen is pointless. It either is or isn't going to happen. And if it does...then I have to figure out what I'm going to do now.
So, let's raise our glasses...to change, releasing fear and the joy of what's to come!
Let's do an affirmation to change...I welcome change for the new things that it will bring...or, I release my fear of change with a grateful heart I am open to a new perspective...or, I am strong in the knowledge that whatever change comes, I am ready to receive it.
It's your affirmation, you write it. Remember it has to be written in the affirmative...there must be positive language, there must not be any language about what you don't want to happen or I hope that this will happen. Write it down and then try saying it every day for at least a week. You may be pleasantly surprised at the spiritual fortitude you feel as a result.
Until nextime...
I remain, joyfully yours,
Robyn
