"When you want to feel good, feel grateful"
Growth comes from sitting in the uncomfortable – what does this mean to you?
How can we know that all is good and really believe it?
It is so easy to get caught up in wondering and questioning what is happening when things are not going the way we want or when nothing seems to be changing and we are doing our prayers and affirmations.
The first thing the mind wants to go to is the negative…this is not working. What am I doing wrong, fill in the blank for you. What does your mind do?______________________________________________________
We must become the masters of our mind and trust in the perfect unfoldment that is always happening. We must hold that place of faith and knowing when the ego falls short.
Ernest Holmes says in his book This thing called you:
Your faith can penetrate clouds of unbelief and reveal the Truth which is forever perfect. Imagine yourself looking at the picture of a beautiful landscape. In this picture there are trees, a house, a stream of water, a beautiful meadow and in the background, mountains and blue sky dotted with clouds. You look at it long, contemplating its beauty. Now suppose that a colored glass is placed between you and the picture that the picture appears blurred. Everything seems distorted and yet nothing has happened to the picture. It is your business to remove the colored glass. Because the picture is still there on the wall , it still may be seen.
It is so important to believe and affirm that no matter what the appearance is, there is so much more happening than we can see in the moment. Whatever we can believe, we can see and we can create.
We must all learn to surrender and to trust more deeply. The egoic mind has a challenging time with this one….but our soul knows this truth.
James Van Praagh
As much as we may try to will things to happen, we must learn to let go and allow spirit to do its part.
