There are moments in our lives that we know something big is getting ready to happen. On November 3rd I stood in my shower and prayed like I never prayed before, but it wasn't a prayer of need or want; it was a prayer of gratitude, appreciation and love. This was so deep within me and the peace was literally breath taking.
That day I found out my father made the transitition from this reality to another. Then I discovered I needed to break myself from my coach and teacher that I so dearly love and adore, then I got sick, then my daughters dog passed, and then my daughter got sick.
In the midst of all of that I never lacked that peaceful feeling within me. I completely surrender to all that appeared to be happening and continued to see all the love that was being offered to me and was me.
Then it happened, just as clear as day the answer was provided and the feeling of joy just exploded within me. I had been hanging on to things for other people. I had been feeling the need to keep my business open for other people, I felt the need to keep my doors open because I owed my teacher, I felt the need to keep my doors open because everyone kept saying, "Please don't ever leave us"! It is clear that the only person I was leaving was myself.
No one is ever there for us, only we are there for OURSELVES!
When God is ready for us to move on we may not understand the "Why" of it all, but it's really not for us to know. When we feel deep inner peace in the midst of what appears to be drama then we know we are being guided through the illusions that has separated us from who we really are. This deep sense of trust that I had was a knowing that this world shall pass. How do I know? Because what's on the other side of this world is full of truth, love, peace, and facts. And these facts come from within the people themselves.
As we awaken we realize that there is no one out there to get us. We even realize that there was never even an ego. If all we are is love then we know there is nothing else.
Can peace come from changing your beliefs? No, it's by undoing who and what you thought you were that brings you peace. Take for instance you have a belief that you need more money and you do a process that says a positive affirmation and you feel good about that feeling. Okay, well now what? You still have to go out into the world and see that you need money. You have just become the identity of a person needing more money. And it can be anything. But this belief is attached to who you think you are now, so it's by undoing who you think you are or what you are that will need to be addressed.
However, when we undo who or what we think we are then we can begin to find peace because then money won't matter. Money doesn't matter anyway, it's the value that "YOU" put on it to say when "YOU" have a sense of enough. And this sense of enough will always come from you not others. When we rely on others to let us know what "their" sense of enough is we allow judgment to be within. Say for instance you have someone that says, "I'm going to let you tell me what you would be willing to pay for my services." What? Will always be the question because you now are telling yourself through people that you don't know your sense of enough. Our sense of enough is always defined by us.
Who wants to go into a new world/reality bringing with them their lack of understanding of what enough is for them? When you know what that is so does everyone else.
A sense of enough is always within you. When you experience peace, true peace, it seems as if the world around you is completely your friend as an equal partner in giving and receiving.
Folks, there's no way to describe this and give it any form. You'll just have to appreciate that true peace does exist within you. It's not coming from having a wife or husband, it's not about having enough money (When will that ever be?) and it's not about having what you want in life (this changes daily). It's totally about loving what is at this very moment, sickness and all and knowing that this too shall pass. That beyond this reality is the reality of God/LOVE.
Belief Statement:
I want you to let me know what you would be willing to charge for my services and this feels superior because now I get to tell you that that's not good enough for me. I gain the ability to tell you no while losing your confidence in me.
Spirit Statement:
I know I am ready to give services of equal exchange and know this is fair with my abilities that you'll say yes with confidence in me.
By looking at this Spirit statement we can see how valuable letting people know what we expect from our services up front and with equal exchange builds confidence, love and honor. We all know what our sense of enough is, but when we allow it to be at the hands of others then we are doing nothing more than re-creating an opportunity of disharmony.
Big Love,
