A Lesson

This morning I woke up late. Flustered and rushed, I barely made it to my destination on time. I sat down prepared for what was going to happen only to be given a completely different experience, one I didn't want. On the drive home I received a distressing phone call. I hung up feeling sad and tired.

Taking a "realistic" perspective, one could say I've had a pretty crappy morning. Yet I am REFUSING to see it that way. Being the powerful being that I am, I know that I have a choice! I can choose to focus on the obvious negative, or I can choose to zero in on the more subtle positive. I can view the circumstances of my morning as a metaphor, and become empowered by the lesson the universe is giving me.

Whats the lesson? If I frantically rush towards something with expectation, the result will leave me feeling unsatisfied and let down.

Today I'm going to take my time. I'm going to really listen with an open mind and heart, free of expectation, want, or need. I'm going to see the gifts before me, knowing that everything is unfolding just the way its meant to.

My mantra for today" "Today is the greatest day of my life!"
