Play in the puddles!

Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain! - anonymous

It's raining here and I find myself wanting sunshine. I realized that this creates a state of unrest as I desire something I can't have. Then I remembered times when I've run out in the rain, jumping through puddles and laughing with friends. Moments later I began enjoying the rain, surrendered to the possibility of it bringing as much happiness as sunshine.

Today I'm going puddle-jumping, gonna find something to love in any situation.

Surrender

Surrender the present and invite the possibilities of tomorrow!

When we hold on to what we have, we miss out of what we can have. Simple principle, but difficult to maintain letting go, surrendering, in all aspects of our lives. We may be able to let go of the things we don't like, or focus on one particular aspect and consciously let go, but to achieve the maximum FREEDOM and ABUNDANCE in our lives, we need to let go of everything that IS what we ARE, HAVE, and DO in the present... in other words, surrender the PRESENT, allowing for the infinitie possiblities that come in the next moment.

Today I surrender the present moment, and invite the universe to amaze me!

Heart-felt answers

Following your heart requires we first be quiet for a while - asking and then feeling the answer.

It's easy to let the logic brain work out our questions and find solutions. My brain is going a million miles a minute to keep on top of everything. But I find the best answers are those that come from the heart. And unlike the brain, the heart requires a bit of quiet and patience before it answers. I imagine it is just a matter of learning the process and once it becomes routine, it is as easy to ask the heart to answer a question as the mind.

Today, I quietly ask my heart the question and patiently allow it to send me its answer through feeling.

Longing without Conviction

Longing without Conviction leads to neediness. We need to believe we can or our desire will lead to frustration.

When I recognize that I have a desire, it is my job to discern if believe I can achieve it. When the desire is beyond my conviction, I need to let it go. If I can achieve it, the desire becomes a healthy part of moving me towards my highest good. Manifestation becomes a mere matter of patience.

Today I look at my desires and release those I do not believe will bear fruit so as to give my fullest to those that I believe will.
