They 57: Sinkhole As I mentioned in yesterday's reading it imperative that I know how to love and honor myself. For me, this begins with what I think of myself, how I feel about myself, and what I say to myself. I found through this life work that I am doing that I only allow in that which I believe about myself. If I believe that I'm worthless, and unworthy of love that belief will manifest that in the world around me and the people that I hangout with.
However, if I recognize the brilliance of who I am and what I bring to the world I will not only transform the foundation of my life, but I set the standards for anyone and everyone who enter my world. I am responsible for the foundation of my life. I am responsible for filling in those areas that I have allowed to be eroded by self-doubt, self-hatred, and fear.
As I stated yesterday over the last couple of weeks, I have had this in intense need to renew and refresh my life. It seems that once again I am in the perfect place within the "Seasons of Change" book for these life lessons, and growth opportunities to show up. It is so easy to look at a situation and want to become frustrated that we are not further along the path of life. When in fact, what the road is showing us is simply a manifestation of what we've been thinking about ourselves all along. It took me sometime to realize that the potholes in life were simply those areas of life where I had self-doubt, our self hatred. In learning to address those areas not with criticism but with compassion has been some of the most transforming places in my life.
When I stop, and take in the moment I truly begin to recognize how amazing this life is, and how much it is here to support me. It's so easy to look at potholes, and the sinkholes of life and began to question where are they all come from and will my life ever get better? When in fact, I can look at the solid areas of my life and celebrate those and recognize that in comparison this pot-hole is minor compared to all of the greatness that is happening around me. Far too often we spend too much time looking at the negative wanting it would go away when in fact our attention to it only amplify's it.
This morning I woke up with the understanding that I was laying next to someone that I love more deeply than I've ever loved anyone in my life. I felt safe. I felt loved. How many years of my life have I waited to have this experience? How long have I waited to feel this expression manifest in my life? Why then would I choose to focus my attention on the pot holes of life? The more I place my attention on what I want, and how much I love and appreciate myself the more those areas fill themselves in.
Thank you,
I love you,
Rev Allen
