As we discussed on Saturday, whatever the Holy Spirit suggests that you do, Do It.
It will turn into a wonderful series of events for all. Sometimes it doesn't seem so. But after a lot of practice, I am beginning to see that every event in our life and every choice we make results in some benefits. This excludes the choices where we deliberately hurt someone, which is is mostly bad, but even then a learning occurs if only we let it.
Excluding the deliberate ones, even if an event doesn't seem good for me at the moment, I CAN learn something and move on. Then sometime, I trust, it becomes a good lesson for someone else and can produce positive ripples in others lives--even after 10-20 years.
That is called FAITH. It's a KNOWING that comes after years of living and wondering. But it's also a wonderful way to live.
"How's the world treating you?" my hair stylist asked me last week.
"Don't Know. But I do know that it does not matter. What matters is how I see the world, and it looks great to me now. I just focus on living each moment fully, so I can accomplish my purpose in life, no matter how the world is treating me."
I was amazed it came out of my mouth. But it was the absolute truth as I said it!
Plus, it's the first time I have summarized it that way. I have spent so many of my younger years, trying to please others, trying to get ahead, wondering what I really wanted in life, how I could plan it better. I never stopped to enjoy the moment. When I began to practice this, I had more time to listen to my Spirit and realize what a wonderful guide I had right inside. I move through life with more joy. Each moment is richer with awareness and each event is much more efficient and effective because I trust in my guide to help me make the right choices.
It's a great way to live.
Being in the flow...
Try it and let me know what you think!
