As I laid in my bed last night, I just couldn't go to sleep until I gave thanks to God for all the wonderful things in my life. The blessings kept pouring in as I sat quietly and allowed God to move and work through me.
While reviewing my day I could see how grace is more than just the love that God shares with us each day, but also how the ego is a joyful friend that we like to play peek-a-boo with. It darts in and out of the trees hoping that we won't see it, only to lead us to a beautiful river to enjoy God's abundance.
Witnessing my experiences this week I realized God was letting me know I'm slap dab in the middle. This is not as easy a place to be as one might think, for both sides of the pendulum are calling out to you. It is the stability of God's love that allows us to stay within the middle and continue to be confident in who we are and where we are going.
Our value doesn't come from someone else recognizing our abilities, but rather knowing that we are doing the right thing from within. If we are constantly going around trying to get approval from others for our actions......well....what we are really saying to ourselves is, "I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing so I need others to reinforce that to me."
If we are seeking the approval of another then we are literally saying that WE don't approve of ourselves. This has nothing to do with letting people walk all over you, but rather it's about not seeking attention to yourself, the ego loves attention. Why? Because it needs validation that it's alive, that it's right, that it's worthy and valuable in your life. Of course, once you see that one and the same then you are able to bring comfort to your life and be more productive, more creative, more life and light to others.
It's funny to see an ego tire of this as well. The ego wants it so bad but then ones it has all this attention it will literally wonder what the hell. It creates its own living hell because it's just a dream. It's just a false illusion that it builds up in order to feel connected to something.
Well my friends, life is good, God is love. We are all blessed to have the signs and symbols around us that we do to wake up. It's never an easy task to see what it is we are ONLY doing to ourselves, but trust me, once you do you are free.
If you are blaming another for your lot in life then the ego has guided you away from who you really are, making you confused in order to always need attention. What is attention? Nothing more than the energy of others.
Simply put, the ego needs attention because it is not able to make a direct connection with Source, that's why it needs you. When a person is feeling low, good idea to look around and see where ego trapped you. For me, the other day it was making me believe I needed a drug. This particular drug knocked my whole system out of balance. I was weepy, I was sleepy, I was thirsty, I was sick, and I was everything that I am normally not.
I put my boots on and dug through it all. I didn't give up. I found the beautiful message in it all. And realized this, that my pendulum had stopped swinging and ego knew it needed to do something in order to gain my attention, my energy, and my concentration.
God is love, there is nothing more or less about this. It is what it is. As I step into my day there is an awakening, a finer energy about me today, this, no one will be able to manipulate, or copy. IT IS WHAT IT IS!
ENJOY, DR. VELVETE
Awareness opens the possibility for Alignment and the Willingness to Release. Free yourself of illusions within YOUR reality. What are you creating that makes you feel disempowered?
