Day 86 Bees:
" Do you have any idea how many lives you have transformed by sharing your love?"
I love thinking about the countless peoples who's lives we have touched while journeying through life. It's like this invisible thread that weaves the fabric of who we are. I just love that I have friends who live all across the globe. I love that everything we see, touch, and experience has this profound impact on our lives and literally changes it forever. When we stop for a moment and recognize that if that is true in our lives that it has to be true in everyone else's lives. I just think of the countless times I've experienced someone who's having a really bad day at work and I took the time to ask them, how are you today? That one question has transformed more peoples interaction with me and allow me a different experience with the individual from that moment forward.
For much of my life I would always meet things with equal or greater force. In the business world, I become the intimidator. If people would speak to me loudly, I would speak to them louder. I realized today that is a tactic that is commonly used in the world and it is solely based in fear. Through my work over the last decade I have recognized that love is soft and finds its way under the situations and always has the capacity to stand in love for the other person. This softness has defused more situations than I could ever fathom. It has allowed me to listen with compassion thereby allowing the person to let go of whatever anxiety, fear, or worry they are having thereby creating an open space for dialogue. We are most often caught up in a self righteous privilege that has us thinking "this is a service that I am paying for and I deserve to be treated with respect." It is this mentality and standard operating procedure that have led us to the race consciousness that we have today. At the end of the day, when we think about it we are all ambassadors of love. I have determined that when I listen to someone It can make their day appeared brighter. It also brightens my day as well. In that process, I find that the customer service that I receive from that moment on far exceeds anything that I ever could have demanded from privilege.
We often neglect to consider the building blocks of our lives, bees, and oxygen, are prime examples. When I think about the fact that the brilliance of our food nation is based on the success of the bees pollination. Here's something that we find so insignificant that we hardly ever mention the brilliance of.Bee. But the very life-sustaining thing that we require in life to nourish us is solely linked to this brilliant invisible creature that absolutely charges nothing to bring the abundance of life. When was the last time you looked out into the universe and thanked the Bees for the work they do and their endless creative process. It's like oxygen, when was the last time you actually thank the universe for the air that you're breathing? When we begin to realize that there is an invisible thread that is appearing all through our life creating abundance and beauty without any assistance from us at all. We begin to recognize and realize the truth that we are surrounded by an abundant creative energy that is working to sustain and support us everyday.
Over the last few days, I have played a game. I call it the abundant game. Wherever I am, I look around for the countless expressions of abundance in it's many forms. One of the things that I have gathered from this game is that all of the abundance that I'm finding around me its brilliant expression is at absolutely no expense to me. It's free! It is waiting for me to acknowledge it, notice it, and most importantly receive it. After playing this game for just a couple of days I was delighted to go to the mailbox and find a check for $243.00 dollars. This check was absolutely unexpected and come from this invisible abundance that is always waiting for me to receive it. Most often, we spend our day looking for things that we are fearful of, or that we find agitating. I find with this one simple shift of 'mine" consciousness I am creating a world where I see the abundance that I have never seen before. By simply focusing my point of attention, or interest from lack to abundance it is already beginning to show up in my life in a physical and manifest way.
I hear the phrase time and time again "Life is hard!" For most of my life, I truly bought into that consciousness. It is through this book that I've begun to recognize that there is an abundant universe that creates out of itself amazing and wonderful things, most if not all without any support from human nature. When I can harness my own power and choose where to put my focus I began to use this transformative power at work in my life. If for no other reason my shift in consciousness brings about deeper breaths, a smile on my face, and lightness in my spirit. Well worth the investment.
I love you,
Thank you,
Rev Allen
