When we got back to the house we had a quick swim before I jumped into a cab en route to the hotel, I guess I was half out of it and obviously wasn´t paying attention because I left my toiletry case in the cab. I didn´t realize until about 15 minutes later when I was in the room that I left the toiletry bag in the cab. A rush of panic overcame me and I ran down to the reception to get the lady at the front desk to try and help me. I kept telling myself ¨deep breaths Ry!¨ But it wasn´t easy, all i could pray for is that either the next passengers in the cab or the driver himself was honest and would do the right thing. After over an hour of phone calls, being put on hold for a lot of the time, all four cab companies said there was no sign of it in any of the cabs or the lost and found. In that time I called my folks and some good friends back home that calmed me down to some degree. I had to practice a lot of self control as well.
At this point there was nothing I could do but stay positive. Acceptance is something that I´ve worked on hard for a while now, and I had to be a realist and understand that it was highly unlikely that I was ever going to see the case again. It´s funny because a few years back I would have been in hysterics. But a sense of calm took over my mind and body and I started looking at the sunny side of the situation and the lesson I was being tough in the moment. The first thing I thanked god for was the fact that I was safe, I have my health and of all the people I talked to said they would help me in any way they could. Thank god I have my passport and credit cards in my satchel, and obviously it was the universe telling me ¨Ry you need to pay more attention¨ Shit, what a bummer, but it happened for a reason. I just really hope whoever got that case and money can use it for some good. maybe the driver is going through a tough time, who knows. amidst the drama I looked at all the positives and tried to find the humor in it. I talked to my dad and we both agreed there’s people out there way worse off.
I´m on a beautiful island in Spain and there’s people dying in hospitals, wars being fought and people in prison! I blocked out the negative aspects of the situation and read myself to sleep. When I shut my eyes I started running off the things in life that I´m most grateful for. Number one on my list is always sound health and a positive state of mind that I choose to have. Yes there’s a lot of negatives in the world these days, but the positives outweigh them in a big way. If an individual really wants to practice staying positive most of the time just write out was your grateful for and know that adversities are all part of life that are meant to teach us lessons. It´s how we handle these adversities that makes us stronger and know that it´s only temporary. Everything in life is temporary if you think about it. And in the material world things get lost sometimes. I´m so happy this morning as I write this because I handled it with dignity and humility.
What I want to say to you is that when you´re on a negative vibration there’s no way you can be on a positive at the same time. The human brain is like a two way radio which is a broadcasting and receiving station for thought. whatever thought you send out into the ether it is brought back to you in like form that the individual puts out. And depending on the momentum of the energy stream and power of the chosen thought the physical manifestation will resemble that which one is thinking. That’s just how it works! We all have times of joy and empowerment in our lives and we can bring more of that into our life experience by guiding and directing our thought patterns in the right direction. Focus is very important and a desire or wanting to be positive in life is a must. The expansion of the universe in inevitable and it´s like the old saying goes ¨whatever we resist will persist¨. Choose smiles and laughter! Try and bring the best out of others because that in turn will help you be more positive and happy.
I know it´s tough when there’s a sick person or loss in a family. Could be a family pet or your house being broken into, the list goes on. But it´s you that has the power to change the way you look at situations and things and people. If you look at everyone for the good they have to offer with authenticity,in return in most cases that comes back to you. You get out of life what you give. Just like when you feed the body with healthy food, in return you get more energy and vitality. There is no source of sickness unless we attract it and think it into our lives. Remember everything starts with a thought, and thoughts do become things. Play with the law of attraction and think good thoughts in the moment often!
Positively yours in health and happiness
