So let's take a look at Strategy Seven and Eight this week.
Strategy 7 -
Gratitude and Blessings.
Gratitude has enormous power. Being in gratitude opens
us up to receive the power of the Universe. Operating from a state
of gratitude is like keeping "electricity" free and flowing. When
electricity is blocked from flowing, you can get a short, a
serious fire or an explosion, like when we read of transformers
exploding and causing power outages.
When we are not grateful, or in gratitude, we are "blocking"
the energy of the Universe in much the same way. We feel
frustrated, joyless and stressed. We too can short out or explode.
We often hear of "heart attacks, strokes and breakdowns" occurring
as a result of stress. Staying grateful or in gratitude keeps all
the gifts that the Universe has in store for us flowing.
Our higher power can work through us if we are open and in a
state of gratitude. Blessing all of the people and situations in
our lives serves a similar purpose. If you can get to see the gift
in all that is happening in your life and bless it, soon even the
events that we define as ugly, fall into place. We can see the
reason for their happening and how they fit into the puzzle that
is our life. Would you throw away ten pieces of a puzzle and then
sit down and try to complete it? No, probably not.
Why then is it that we often look back at certain events in our
lives with regret? Wishing they never happened or wishing we could
go back and change them? You are like that puzzle. Every piece of
your life is necessary for you to complete the puzzle. Bless all
the events and people in your life, they are part of the puzzle.
You are right where you should be without exception. Nothing is
out of order in the Universe and that is true as well in our
lives. Remember, progress not perfection.
Strategy 8 -
Forgiveness and the power of
release.
You gain nothing in this life if you cannot forgive yourself
and others. Release them, let them go. Forgive yourself and
release yourself from the bondage of the past. Give the space to
allow others to make mistakes. Let others do whatever they decide.
You do not have to take things personally, you do not have to be
hurt by what others say or do. Hurt feelings are a choice. Feeling
like someone has perpetrated something against you is a choice.
Move on. You could say "XXXXX, I forgive you, I release you and I
let you go." You could add them or the situation to your blessings
and know that, if nothing is out of order in this Universe, that
shortly you will see the reason for whatever happened. You will
see how it all fits into your puzzle.
My suggestion is to stay focused on what you want to achieve in
your life, no matter what others say or do. Be independent of the
good opinion of others.
