Be careful not to look at your problems or outcomes in a negative light. They are directing you to what you are focusing on, and are bringing the best ways of living and ‘being’ in this lifetime. Trust the process and know ‘all is well.’ Use your inner feeling as a compass as to whether it is the right path to take to get you to where you want to be. If it feels right and it comes in the form of a different way than you thought…don’t question it…just know ‘all is well.’
I can’t tell you how many times Lee and I have experienced this. When we trusted the process and the end result came in a completely different way than we thought it would, it was always for the best. We would realize it in hindsight. Every single time. So now we know to focus, let go, and let the Universe take over. It ALWAYS comes out as is or better!
Our perceptions…it’s amazing how different we all are in the way we see life. Something may be beautiful to some and not so beautiful to another. A garden full of wildflowers may be the joy to someone’s heart and to another look like a bunch of weeds. Our perceptions mold our lives but how wonderful to be able to get beyond just our own perception and become open to seeing a bigger picture. Once that person who thought the garden was full of weeds ‘sees’ the view of another and opens up to it, it becomes a different garden…a garden full of beautiful flowers.
Our perception isn’t the only perception to be seen. Understanding others’ perceptions will give you a more open approach to life.
When Mom was a little girl, her mom had her walk to the grocery store with a list. Mom was eight years old and walked two miles. She loved the walk except through Parker Park. That is where the drunks hung out with their paper-bag-covered bottles, slurring and yelling out to her as she ran through the park. It scared her. No one ever tried to hurt her but they were scary none the less. One time she told her mom, “I can’t get your groceries…I’m afraid of the park.”
Her mom took her by the hand and said, “You can’t run away from what you’re afraid of. How about I walk you through?”
So Mom and Gannie walked hand in hand through the park, but it had a completely different look with Gannie walking beside her. The men still yelled but Gannie yelled back, “Good afternoon, Mr. Peabody. I’ll let your wife know I saw you.” Or “Hello, Ben. Marvin will give you a call.” It completely changed Mom’s view. These men were down and out, not scary and mean. These men were friends of her mother and father, not strangers that were out to get her.
Gannie walked her up to each one. “This is my daughter and she comes through the park every time I need groceries. Could you watch out for her?” Each one nodded and felt as if Gannie had asked a solemn vow that they had to take. Just seeing another’s perspective changed everything.
Gannie told her, “I would never put you in harm’s way. It’s important not to assume you know what someone is like. Step aside from being afraid and see what it feels like from in here.” She tapped Mom’s chest. Mom said that little lesson has served her well all of her life. She doesn’t judge a book by its cover.
Sometimes when we have a big dream we feel pressure. And that causes someone to feel like a failure because of the bigness of their dreams they have yet to accomplish. You don’t need to feel this way. Focus on what you can do today toward your dream. There is always something that you can do right now in order trust in the future of your dreams.
I used to be that way. I used to create an idea in my mind and wanted the turn around right now! Then I would become impatient with it all and feel pressured to get it started AND finished in one big solid swoop! Then it hit me…sometimes there are things that we have to experience and learn that will benefit our big idea and that it is unfolding just as it should all in the right time. No pressure; just joy of the steps, the learning, the experience, and the manifestation.
I feel pressure no more! I appreciate each and every step and everything that leads up to the physical manifestation of it all and it ALWAYS manifests as it should. I wish I had learned that one when I was young but then again…I wouldn’t be who I am now if I had learned it then so…once again…the Universe is right in what happens in my life as long as I keep the focus and joy flowing.
If we didn’t have hard times we wouldn’t have new worlds that are created out of contrast. It is in the tough times that we find where our inner compass tells us to go and when we reach for the direction of what the inner compass says, it becomes a whole new world minus the hard times.
Remember during the times that seem so full of contrast really find that calm within you because you never know what that contrast will open up in your life in a good way. You have plans and the Universe is taking care of them and it will be better than you ever expected…as long as you do your part.
My grandma had a saying, “If it wasn’t for my hard times, I wouldn’t have grandchildren.” Her move to California from back east in the days where a woman didn’t do the leading was how our family settled in California. She brought a sick husband and a newborn baby to the ocean in hopes of helping her husband. Through her hard times she gave generation upon generation of her family a wonderful life. By her coming to California she brought my grandma with her who married a Californian man. They had children and Mom and Dad met one another growing up. Everyone had hard times, but the one thing Grandma was sure of was if she hadn’t come out to California she wouldn’t have the grandchildren she had. She wore that badge proudly…new worlds.
Is it possible that everyone who is telling you that your idea is wrong, that it is impossible or even impractical…could be wrong about what is right for you?
You are the only person who can look inside you and know. Ask yourself a few questions. Will pursuing what it is that you want hurt anyone? Can it possibly succeed and if it fails will you be hurt or just embarrassed? Is it worth it? If it does succeed will it change your life for the better AND will the change make you happy?
When you are able to be strong in what you believe is achievable then instead of being upset and hurt by the doubters, thank them. They just taught you to be even stronger in your resolve of what you desire. All those questions and concerns they asked helped you to answer those questions for yourself. Wow…
Oh yeah…I’ve encountered the doubters. Always out of the goodness of someone’s heart. “Are you sure you want to do positive thought? I mean is there really any money in that? You and Lee have children…and parents to support. Maybe you should…”
Those little remarks helped guide Lee and I into even a stronger belief about what we wanted to do. Those little remarks gave us both a shine in our eyes and realized it was him and I…only. We knew it was up to us. We knew nothing would change unless we did what would make us feel happy.
From then on we kept it quiet and only talked of the joy it brought to us as we made plans and realized all the wonderful potential in our plans. We were grateful and now…here we are…doing exactly what we wanted to do for our purpose…the Universe gave us even better than what we envisioned and it just keeps getting better and better.
You are the only one who knows what is best for your life….
You’ve made a decision. You’ve done everything you can to prepare for the decision you’ve made. You’ve talked to your family and your friends about it. You’ve got the plan all ready. You’ve made sure that everything is in its place but have avoided taking action. Have you decided that you want to do everything you can to make it go exactly perfect according to you? Sometimes we can over think what we want to do. Sometimes it takes just moving forward and taking the risk. Sometimes it is ‘just right’ to envision the end result and let the Universe take care of all the how’s.
You may have planned it perfectly but the Universe sometimes has a much better plan for you and when you ‘let go’ and let the Universe do its stuff, you’ll have exactly what you want or better.
I have four children. My two oldest are my boys. They couldn’t be more different than night and day. One has a football player stature while the other is tall and lean. One has blondish brown hair with a full face while the other has black hair with an angular face. Both are incredibly wonderful amazing spirits in this world and I love them both for who they are. One loves to plan in his mind and…do nothing about those plans hoping one day he will do it while the other boy plans in his mind, visualizes how he would like it to go, and then…no more. He lets it go and let’s it all come about.
One is not better than the other. Each is creating their own way of doing things on this Earth but one creates and expects nothing to come about while the other creates, lets go, and expects it all to come about in the best form.
Two boys, two unique spirits, two different kinds of planning, and two different end results.
Have you planned it all out and done nothing about it or have you planned it all out and let it go knowing that how it comes about will be the best way according to the Universe and ready to take action when needed?
We always have a choice in where we take our dreams…always.
You have no idea what a word or gesture can do for someone. Think about it. Can you remember a kind or not so kind remark from your past? You still hold on to that thought and others do the same. Even a remark that seemed casual can change someone’s life. When you’re talking to someone keep in mind what you say to them, even in casual conversation. You could help or hurt them by a word. How about just saying something positive to others? That way you’ll know that every remark was kind. The vibrations we send out through our words always reflect back to who we are.
I’ll never forget when my oldest daughter was little. She had the curliest dark brown hair that was wild. She had a tiny little body so with her big head of hair she looked a bit like a fairy with troll hair. Her favorite doll was a huge troll doll. It had pink hair that stuck straight up. I think she loved the doll because it reminded her of herself. She decided to take it to show and tell one day.
She was a feisty little thing but she was also very quiet. Nothing really ruffled her feathers so much, so her third grade teacher put her at the table with the bullies. I asked her teacher why she would put such a quiet teeny little girl with these boys and she told me because she was the only girl who could just give them a stare and they would hush right up and give her her pencil back.
She brought her troll to school and walked up to talk about her. “THIS is Pinkie,” she explained. “She is my most precious possession in the world.” She had a dramatic flair. “Are there any questions?”
One of the bullies raised their hands. “Why does she have hair like you?”
She kept her cool. “Because she is my daughter. Any other questions?”
Same boy raised his hand. “Why is her head big and her body little like yours?”
The teacher interrupted. “Enough of that!”
She still kept her cool. “BECAUSE she is my daughter.” She wasn’t really upset just annoyed. He wasn’t picking on her Pinkie and she was able to handle the fact of who she was.
The little bully just had to say one more thing. He couldn’t leave it at that.
“Why is her hair an ugly pink?” One little word…
My little teeny tiny fairy daughter exploded. I couldn’t get to her fast enough from the back of the room. She literally flew at the bully and grabbed his two index fingers and twisted. He let out a howl and she said, “Who’s FACE is pink now?” She unwrinkled her skirt and calmly walked away.
She went to the principal’s office that day but I was right with her. The principal leaned in and said, “Your teacher didn’t like what you did but you know what? We’re okay…never again?”
She nodded her big head of troll like hair.
Never again. 
Do you ever go through the ‘woulda, shoulda, coulda’s when it comes to your past? Do you look at mistakes you think you have made or something you may have said that you wish you hadn’t? Maybe you wonder if you had been kinder or maybe handled it a little differently it may have gone in another direction? Remember that no matter how you turn it over in your mind over and over again, your past can’t be changed. But what you can do is move forward and learn from the experience.
You can stop beating yourself up over the past and begin to look toward the future learning from those old ways. You are not your past, your past is just events in your life. They aren’t who you are.
Mom, Dad, and I were having a conversation. It was about one of my siblings and my Mom decided she was going to take all the flack for how that sibling was acting. “Did I do something to mess them up? I did the best I could! I must not have been a very good mom. We tried to give them everything they wanted but…this must be my fault somehow.”
I watched as she beat herself up about the upbringing of one of my siblings. Dad just sat eating grapes. I wasn’t sure if he couldn’t hear what Mom was saying (he refuses to wear hearing aids) or if he just wasn’t commenting. He kept munching his grapes as Mom went on and on. Mom looked at Dad and said, “Well?! What do YOU think about all this?!”
He didn’t look up, kept chewing, and said, “Well…Bethie takes after me. The other one (referring to the other sibling) takes after you! So I can’t help you on this one!”
She took his plate of grapes and put them in the sink.
Dad said, “What did I say?!”
Have you been taking action on what you want to do? O r have you just been talking about it? Maybe you ask others what they think, and then stall. Or maybe you’re not sure if you are on the right path. Maybe it’s just self sabotage because you’re afraid of possibly failing (or succeeding!). Maybe it’s just easier not to take any kind of steps for it to happen. Whatever the reason it always comes back to you.
The weather doesn’t have to be right or the moon doesn’t have to be in a perfect phase…just begin. Take one small baby step and begin. Reach for what you want and take some kind of action to let the Universe know you are serious about what you want.
This is how I have always done it. An inspiration will hit ‘within.’ I will mull into over in my heart first. If it ‘feels’ good and feels as if it has a ‘this is it!’ feeling then I head over to my logical mind department.
How will it work? How quickly and comfortably can I act on this? Is this something to talk about at our next unlimited thought meeting? Then I head back to my heart and do another check. As it grows within then I ask for signs for opportunity or encouragement and then I ‘act’ physically or I ‘act’ mentally. Acting physically means I begin to make some kind of motion in the physical world to creating what the inspiration is and acting mentally means that I keep my eyes open for opportunities to help manifest the inspiration and continue to visualize. Either way movement begins. It’s always worked for me and sometimes I’ve had moments where I have to fine-tune as the inspiration morphs into something completely different.
The key is to begin and keep positive thoughts, feelings, and expectations all along the way knowing that when it manifests was the exact moment that is should of. Do your part and let it all happen.
I LOVE the process of creating!
Did you know there is a way to get beyond the fear of ‘what if?’ What if I fail or what is going to happen? Having faith in you and the Universe will get you beyond the ‘what ifs.’ As you begin to relax and realize that you know exactly what you want, and that vibration is going to bring you what you want through your focus, then by giving it to the Universe the fear dissipates. And as you go through moving forward and life begins to change you still trust and know ‘all is well.’
Change has to happen for life to become what you envision or else you’ll be in the same position. Embrace change and the new direction that change brings to you that puts you on the path of what you desire.
When I got into the swing of trusting the Universe through the most craziest of times THAT is when things began to take hold. When it felt as if it was all going to ‘you know what’ I would stop, remember my promise to myself that I wouldn’t ‘buy into’ what it looked like, and trust the Universe. I would check in with myself and ask, “Is this an obstacle that I am being told to go in a different direction from or is this an obstacle that is going to help guide me with a lesson or vibration that is still taking me toward my goals?” I’d size it up and then move forward either waiting for the perfect moment as this moment passed or trudged forward in a whole other way. Things began to change. Instead of saying, “Why me? How could this happen?” I trusted and kept my goal in both mind and heart, knowing the Universe knew what it was doing. It had the whole picture and I only had a part of it. Now…it’s just second nature. Let go, listen, and move forward. I love the way the Universe works!
What would you choose? To believe and enjoy something and maybe be disappointed every once in a great while, OR doubt and fear everything and never be disappointed but live without the joy? When we just ‘take the jump’ and believe…we are taking a jump to finding our happiness and moving forward.
This reminds me of a conversation I had with my Gramps. Gramps had always wanted to be a Vaudeville star. He loved pulling out his teeth, squenching his eyes together, and wiggling his ears. He had a bow legged walk that he exaggerated when he was being silly and his pockets were always full of hard candy. He’d say, “One for you, one for me, two for you, four for me!” It would send me into peals of laughter. I thought I had the funniest grandpa ever. I asked him once why he didn’t become the star he wanted to be.
“Cuz there were bigger plans, Bethie.”
I listened. “I wanted to be a star but not because I was funny but because being famous appealed to me. But then I met your grandma. She showed me that there was only one person I needed the attention of and that was your grandma, so I changed my profession from vaudevillian to Gannie chaser. I told that ol’ Universe that she was the one and when she’d sit by another little boy in school I would not even think about it. I kept my picture right up here.” He pointed to his head with his crooked index finger.
“And then one day….she started needing my attention. I took the leap and risked it all…and she was all mine!”
I smiled. “I’m glad you and Gannie are together.”
“Me too, me too.” Then he added, ” ‘Cept when she tries to get me to eat those nasty tomatoes. I’d rather eat a bowl of banana pudding with whipping cream.” He paused…” How about you?”
“I’d like a bowl of banana pudding,” I said.
“How about we go take the leap?”
Some of us have questions about this world and the Universe. We find books that tell us theories, ideas, concepts, and some say it is the scientific truth. We can spend hours searching on the internet or at the library looking for an answer to our questions we have of this vast Universe. We research for what the truth is.
But sometimes when we sit still and listen within, the answers may not be scientific but they are the Universal truth none the less. Find time to reflect with no rules, no directions, no ‘this is the way it has to be,’ and see what comes to you. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how easy the truth with flow…your truth.
There is nothing better than ‘sitting still’ and muting the monkey mind chatter button. Then I love ‘turning up’ the dial that is connected to intuition and the Universe. I just sit back and relax, continually turning down one button and turning up the other dial until I have it just right. I can always tell by how much lighter I feel. I then begin to ‘shake off’ anything that feels like negativity…maybe from the day or just in general. And as I go through all these motions, I feel better, lighter, even more positive, and connected. THEN it happens. The waterfall of love, acceptance, encouragement, tranquility, and the oneness where you almost feel so light you feel as if you are somehow one. Now do you see why I LOVE to ‘sit still?’
You did know that there is a difference between someone giving you wisdom OR their opinion, right? Wisdom rings deep within your soul while an opinion is just…well…an opinion. Opinion is just words that someone is giving you based on their own perception and views on life. You can take it…or leave it. Just sayin.’
A student asked Lee and me a bunch of questions about the LOA. And as we answered them she would say, “Is that your opinion or is that a fact?” Over and over again she kept saying it. Finally Lee said, “It is our opinion based in our own facts that we feel within our hearts.”
She said, “Okay, then! As long as it is a fact from somewhere!”
So much is put into a fact in this physical world but we both find that facts that seem like they could never change…do. First it is a fact you should eat eggs, then a fact you shouldn’t, now they’re back as fact as a good thing and this is just one little ‘fact’…
Start with what your heart says…listen to the wisdom before the opinionated fact! 
When we come into this world we are born with love. It is something that we have within us. Fear, on the other hand, is something we learn. Part of our experience is to bring us back to full love. When we are aware of love in everything that we experience, the experience becomes much more than just living. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. Make the most of it letting go of the things that we physically may have learned and come back to the truth of it all…love.
It’s true, you know. Love is what makes the world go ’round. Love is the answer. Love is all you need…
We come from love and are born with the capacity to only love. Our experiences create a contrast so that we can continually learn more about love. It is all about what we love and what we don’t love. It is all about how we react and what we feel according to what makes us happy and what we love. Think about a situation in your life and find the essence of what it was about and you will find it comes back to love. For example: You have a friend who says some awful mean things to you and you wonder why? Why did she say those things? It wasn’t necessarily to be mean to you…she feels angry or frustrated about life.
She feels bad about herself and she feels unloved. If she’s mad at you, whether you did anything or not, she is not feeling loved. This goes for every situation.
If you are feeling less worthy or let down somehow, you are feeling unloved. All that it takes is to flip it around and look through the eyes of love in everything you do…you were born to love.
How do you look at situations that are less than positive in your mind? Do you find reasons why you have to crawl into your shell and step away from life, or do you take the situation and see the positive opportunities that lay within the situation?
When change comes into your life do your best to get creative instead of crawling into your shell and protecting yourself. Get creative and think of new ways you can help the process along instead of hiding from it. Change moves your life forward and you have the choice whether it is a positive change or a negative.
I know we are all different in how we handle situations. One sibling puts those feet in the ground and ‘stands up’ stubbornly. Change isn’t in the equation. That particular sibling pushes, pulls, resists, and creates quite a ruckus when things seem less than positive.
Another sibling seethes inside but after the initial ‘blowup’ begins to think it through, trying to find a way out as quickly as possible.
And my other sibling does everything to make it someone else’s fault so that they are not to blame. Then if that doesn’t work, they just exit and that’s it.
Same parents, same upbringing, completely different ways of perceiving a situation…wow.
Me? When I was younger I was a mini version of my siblings but then I grew up. Not only in age, but in my state of mind. I expanded my thought and did what I could to figure it all out so now…in a less than positive situation, I first sit very still, find that calm center within, and listen ‘within’. I know that it is a part of my learning, others learning, and it is giving me some kind of direction in a way to go or to clear out. It no longer feels negative…just another experience to guide me along my path. No worry, no fear, no blame, no judgment…just a direction…
And I don’t have to do a thing unless I feel I should…
This doesn’t make it right or wrong because everyone has there own way of handling life but what it does do is put a lot of perspective and ease in life. We could all use a little of that, don’t you think?
Isn’t it funny how we can forget the details of a wonderful conversation we may have had yet we hang on tightly to the moments we may have been embarrassed about or if someone hurt our feelings? We can’t seem to forget those moments.
How about we just forget about those moments that we felt ‘less’ and focus on our good memories instead. When you feel a thought coming on from the past that is going to make you feel ‘less’ find a memory that is a good one and hang on to THAT one instead. Let go of what isn’t needed anymore. It will be one less negative vibration within you.
I have a friend that when we see each other she likes to bring up all the negative memories she and I experienced. “Remember when we were swimming in the lake on North Shore when we weren’t supposed to and the police came by and scared us to death?’ Or…”Remember when we went to Mike’s party and everyone made fun of the fact that we didn’t drink?’
I always come back with, “And remember what fun it was to go swimming and when the police came they were very kind to us and let us go with just a warning and didn’t call our parents?” Or “And remember at Mike’s party how we became the designated drivers when it wasn’t even popular yet?”
It’s all in how you look at it, isn’t it… ?
So how is life feeling these days? Are you feeling stagnant or feel as if there is no movement? Or maybe… does life not feel it is growing and getting more insightful through your work or everyday life? Have you become comfortable with this? If you’re not happy where you are at this very moment and you feel you are not growing, expanding, moving forward, then you haven’t found ‘your place.’
Don’t ever settle for life if it doesn’t feel good. Start expanding within your mind, ask for direction, and this alone will begin to move you forward into a better and more wonderful place to ‘be.’
If I ever feel as if things are going in slow motion, I stop myself, and realize that no matter what it ‘feels’ like everything is in constant motion — even if I can’t see it. There are so many vibrations that are being put into physical manifestation via the Universe and the last thing I should do is think ‘stagnant, no motion.’ In these moments, I do this funny little shake of my body. I let my body know that I am moving. I do something out of the ordinary that ‘feels’ different as if things are moving along. Maybe I’ll go watch a movie or step out of the routine of the day. It creates the feeling of movement for me and keeps those moving forward POSITIVE vibrations in alignment instead of the stagnant feeling vibrations of going nowhere.
One day scientists are going to understand that ‘truth’ comes from within people and not from the outer physical world of so-called physical facts. Scientists can’t find the truth through things, it can only be found sitting within our spirits and WE are responsible for discovering that.
It was just another ordinary day yet what came out of it was amazing. Many years ago I had an experience that continues on today. I learned how to ‘connect within.’ Something in me awoke and as I sat still and listened I began to hear answers to questions I had. I then began to experiment. I grabbed a notebook and pen and went back into that stillness. I slowed my breathing and keep going deeper and deeper and deeper and then…I would ask one of the questions I had written down and lo and behold a voice came through that was from the Core Being within… It’s the place where we all came from, heaven, the Universe, Source…wherever you decide to call it.
Each question was answered in a clear concise form and my questions became harder and harder…well…hard according to me but not to the Core Being plane. I began to write answers down verbatim and have many journals full of these wonderful insights from another place that I felt so connected to. I asked world questions, past questions, anything I could think of questions and there were answers for all. Nothing from the scientists…just the eternal truth that is within each and every one of us. Everyone can tap into it…everyone. I even wrote a book about it ‘Transcripts from the Core Being.’
It changed my life forever…and I am sooooooooo glad!
Jealousy offers no pleasure and it’s funny how, even when we are little, those feelings of jealousy can rise up. Maybe a parent gives a sibling more attention or someone has a bigger house than you, but the jealousy itself is not the tallier of how upset you are with another person. It is an insecurity within yourself. And even if someone does make you feel as if you are ‘less of a person’ it can also be about what they vibrate and have nothing to do with you. But the choice is yours to ‘take in’ the vibration of feeling less worthy.
If you have the confidence and the trust that your parent, partner, or children love you then there is no reason for jealousy for their attention. When feeling jealous look within yourself and find that vein of insecurity and really talk to it. Explain to the ‘vein of insecurity’ that all is well and that you no longer need to feel insecure. You trust the process of life.
When I was in grammar school, I had a pair of friends that were twins. It was something to see. Each was jealous of the other in anything they wore, anything they bought, and most of all…their friends. When I would spend the night it would be miserable because they would fight for my attention. I would come home cranky and worn out from the ‘push me pull me’ game. It got to where I would have a code with Mom on the phone. If I said a certain phrase, it meant I didn’t want her to say ‘yes’ for me sleeping over their house but she never remembered the code.
One night I called her at the insistence of the twins. “Ask her if you can spend the night.” My head began to ache. Why couldn’t I just tell them I didn’t want to stay? It was because I didn’t want to hurt their feelings. I called Mom. “Hi, Mom? I”m at Mindy & Molly’s house. I was wondering…” I used the code phrase next. “I know, Mom. I HAVEN’T FED the CAT YET but can I spend the night?”
“Well, of course you can!”
“Oh, Mom…please? I know I haven’t fed the cat yet but I would like to spend the night?”
“Yes, I know Bethie. OF COURSE you can spend the night. I’ll feed the cat.”
I was getting exasperated. “I can’t? I promise I will feed the cat in the morning? What? He’ll DIE if I don’t feed him? Okay…”
“BETHIE! You can spend the night! It’s perfectly fine! I’ll feed the cat!”
Molly was listening. “She’s not getting your code phrase, Beth.” I froze. She knew?!!! “Uh…uh…”
“We’re going to fight whether you are here or not,” Mindy chimed in. “Tell you what…we’ll try to be civil.”
“Never mind, Mom. I’ll spend the night.”
So that night they fought just the same as always and the next time they asked if I could spend the night, they asked in a whole different way. “Hey, Beth? Do you need to feed the cat tonight?”
Subtle…
I love this quote by Buddha: ‘Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else yet you are the one who gets burned.’
There are times when others will hold on tightly to anger. They talk about how many people have wronged them and just can’t seem to let it go. By holding on to the anger, it is only hurting the person hanging on to it. Others move on from the anger but it can be damaging to ‘hold on’ and let it cloud our life. There’s nothing wrong with getting angry. Sometimes anger can propel us into a positive action. But when you hold on to anger, anger holds on to you. Move on and let go. Don’t cloud your world with the long term anger.
Many people ask me, “Do you EVER get angry, Beth?” It’s the funniest thing…you tell me…is it possible to be human and not get angry? Well… Anger and I are old friends. Sometimes when I see a ‘wrong in my eyes’ I do, at first, get angry…and then…the positive vibrations take over. My logical mind can see the situation as it is and then my inner self, higher self, core being…whatever you want to call it, steps in. It always tells me, “There is a bigger picture, Beth. Every moment that is created will always come back to someone in some shape or form to learn from. Let it go, learn, and let the Universe take care of the rest. Do what you can and then let it go.”
So…holler and yelp if you must but then let it go and move forward as quick as you can. You don’t want to wallow in those angry thoughts and feelings as they will for sure bring you more of the same. Learn what you can from the situation, do what you can in the situation always with a positive mindset, and then move forward, and let the Universe do its stuff.
