Feeling stuck in the spiderwebs of life? When I am willing to embrace the lesson and stop resisting. I find that it is much easier to transform any situation into one of growth and learning. When I can let go of attachment long enough to look within for the answer I find that everything benefits. As you will read in today's blog my inability to receive has an effect on not only myself but everyone who is wanting to love me. This growth opportunity was one of the most amazing gifts I received and has allowed me to open myself up to receive in a deep and abiding way.
Day 48: Spiderwebs, take a moment and think about the places in your life that you are resisting change. Take a few minutes and ask yourself if you are ready to embrace new growth experience? If so move on, if not stay where you are. The choice is yours.
I really enjoyed the reading from seasons of change today. It points out that every day I get to wake up chop wood and tote water. Simply put I "get to" do my work each day. I learned many years ago that the difference between I "get to", and I "have to." Case in point I "get to" do my work reflects an attitude of desire. Versus, I "have to" do my work which implies no choice or fulfillment.
The question of today was to work out places within myself that I am resisting change? Over the last month I have recognized that receiving is still a bit of a challenge for me. I find myself with a deep and abiding willingness to give. Yet I really resist and push back when someone wishes to give to me. This became extremely clear around my birthday. My beloved planned the most amazing birthday which involved the beach a room with a view and endless pampering. I heard myself saying several times in the first few days this is so expensive! To have my beloved ask" what is your conversation with money today?" I sat with that question for a moment.
What I realized was I was having worthy challenges. This was not the first time and I'm not convinced it will be the last. Yet something really amazing happened. I was able to transform that experience and recognize my worth and move on in a matter of hours. Now that is growth! I spent the remainder of my birth month saying yes. When I was offered lunch I said yes. When I was offered goodies of any kind I said yes. It was about recognizing that receiving and giving is interconnected. I've known this for decades and yet it was this experience that helped me to understand where I was placing my resistance.
It was not the case that the universe wasn't giving to me abundantly. It was my ability to receive that which was being graciously given that was my roadblock. When my beloved ask me about my conversation with money. I took that question internally and I found the most amazing mantra." I am open, I am receptive, and I receive now!" Today anytime I feel resistance to receiving I instantly transform that with my mantra. I have taken on saying this mantra to myself countless times a day. The transformation has been amazing. And one simple shift in my consciousness has opened up endless opportunities for me to receive an abundance of good.
What are you willing to transform it in your life today? What are you willing to let go of?
I love you,
Rev. Allen
