Trust
Life is good. I may not fully understand why things happen the way they do but I'm thankful for that. If I knew the answer behind every question I'd go crazy. With a little reflection and inward looking; I find the answers I need, nothing more or less.
My life as I know it is full. Lacking nothing, yet having the potential for everything. I'm confident that the majority of us could say the same. You would have to take the time to look at the positive aspects of our lives and stop focusing on the seemingly prominent and brightly colored negatives. Yes, they seem to show themselves at the most inopportune times but I believe it's my duty to doubt less and hope for more. And all while knowing that in the end all is as it should be. I don't want to foolishly distrust the creator of the universe anymore. I am practicing a trust that gives credit to the fact that life has been going on for thousands of years without failing to succeed or exist.
No anxiety, no worries…that is my heaven. A path lit by love and light…those are my streets of gold. A place where all are welcome no matter who or what they are; where forgiveness is a virtue and hospitality the norm…those are my pearly gates and that is my home.
I will not focus on the negative when I know there is much more positive. I will not roll my eyes. I will not doubt your dreams. I will not think less of you and point my long, honey brown finger.
I'm growing and learning…that is a good life.
Erica, this is such a wonderful post. I completely agree. As we go about our lives, many of us forget to experience what I call the power of presence. Beautiful reflections such as this reveal that we have all that we need, and any circumstances that occur is for deep growth of the Will or Spirit to press on. Instead some fall victim and become slave to circumstances, vomiting negativism from their mouths. They they wonder why their lives are still in shambles. They will never grow unless they realize the truth that we were given dominion over all things--even how we choose to experience each and every moment. Wonderful post to start my day!

ReplyDeleteHi Ericka i m agree with you .Avoid negative people, for they are the greatest destroyers of self confidence and self-esteem. Surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you!Sometimes on the road to acquiring wisdom life will beat you down, but you have to stand back up. Because nothing is more beautiful and powerful than a soul who has weather and grown through life's difficulties. Don't regret your time, even the moments that were filled with hurt. Smile because you learned from it all and because you gained enough strength to rise above it all.Just keep going forward !!!
