It can be really hard at times when circumstances in our lives don’t go exactly the way we planned in our minds. The message I’m trying to covey is that in this golden age in which we have our being, where so much of the world has been awakened to how powerful our thoughts truly are. Our thoughts hold so much powerful energy and the fuel we give them ignites our present moment and future circumstances. Just today I was having a doozy in the thought world. My mind became scattered onto too many subjects at once, and before I knew it I slammed my middle finger in the back door of my truck. I literally had to reopen the door just to take the digit out. I buckled down to the ground in a lot of pain, jumped up in shock for about ten seconds then a flood of not so nice emotions overcame me. I had a great supporting cast that witnessed the event, as I ran into the house holding my hand up feeling like my finger and head were going to blow up. After the initial pain went away I just had to laugh and consider that I haven’t exactly been aware of harnessing my positive emotions as dominating thoughts as of late. It seems the more I try the less results I get. So I closed my eyes, gave thanks for my health, looked up in the sky and thanked the universe for whatever test that was. Deep down I know it, my inner guidance and outer for that matter screamed silently in my ear to just slow down and bring myself back to earth. In some weird sense I laughed to myself that maybe it was that unseen power putting me in my place saying slow down and focus on what has gotten you this far? One thing I do know is that the moment I released the emotions of the pain body, I was able to deal with my emotions much easier. I shook my head and not for a second wanted any pity. I though of a good friend who just had a triple by-pass, and that was enough for me to bring myself into that state of mind known as Gratitude. And on the journey of life continues, I became aware that lately I’ve been holding too much inside, like so many of us do. Whenever I find myself lost or drifting outside the scope of my purpose I always get put in my place. At the end of the day the life we live is like a proving ground, for the mind to be stimulated as much as possible to tune into the good vibrations of joyous expansion so we can live harmoniously. Instead of focussing on the past in the present which doesn’t exist, all we really have to do is change the way we feel by impressing a strong desire into our vibration of love and bingo bongo the our world begins to change in most cases. That change in attitude brings us into our true source and connection with the infinite. The infinite is what we have the capability to create, what a blessing. So even a banged up finger is a sign to maybe just slow down a little. I’m sure we could all take a little more time to appreciate and smell the fresh air, watch the breeze and gaze at the stars on a clear night. So the word gratitude which is connected to the feelings we allow in is something we must not neglect even in ruts or moments of uncertainty. Oh, I must have really flew back after opening the door because I threw my keys in the air unconsciously. Yep, and the funny part is that I couldn’t find them. Perhaps they landed in the hedge, or maybe on the roof of the house? But keys symbolize something to me as well. Not that it’s time for a new car, but just maybe finding the key from within that will bring me that much closer to unlocking another one of lives mysteries. Experiences and circumstances is what life is all about, and like an amusement park ride it’s always going to be up and down…that’s the fun part.
