In all of our humanness and lack of humility we think we understand other people and situations. In reality we barely, if at all understand ourselves.
I looked up to heavens and saw the beautiful blue sky and felt so very small. We are but a speck on this spinning rock, yet we like to believe we somehow can unlock the mysteries of the universe.
I’ve always found it fascinating how life, the universe, some will call it God keeps us from ourselves sometimes. It keeps up from getting hurt, killed, or blocks us from making horrible decisions or keeps us from getting into bad situation.
I look back over my life and clearly see how I was saved from myself, bad people, bad choices and kept from harm. At the time I didn’t see it but looking back, my now older/wiser self can clearly see the universe had my back.
While I don’t believe in a human like god. I do believe there is an energy source that keeps things moving. It interacts with our energy and subtly directs us. Some call it source.
Whatever you call it is our life sustaining connection.
I’ve realized so many times I was redirected from devastating circumstances that would have had terrible repercussions not only for me but those I hold dear as well.
Sometimes we hold onto to situations in our past and wonder why that relationship didn’t work out, or that job, or buying that home, we need to be able to recognize that it wasn’t meant to be. You may never know why or sometimes you may later find out.
In most situations in my life I am able to say there was a reason something didn’t work out and I easily move on. But there have been times I’ve clung to the past far, far longer than I should’ve.
This morning I realized I am grateful things didn’t work out in a certain situation that I’d held onto for way too long. I was spared so much heartache and devastation. I see that now. In realizing that I can now put the situation in its proper place in my life and move on.
My only regret is that wasted so much time and life’s energy on the what if…I’m my mind I had it all worked out how it would’ve been and believed that it could still come to fruition…in one moment, an ah-ha moment, a hallelujah moment with the angel choir in the background singing “hal-le-lu-jah…lol…I understood! I finally understood!
I felt such a sense is relief in my soul, it’s hard to explain…I just felt like a burden was lifted and everything I had struggled with for years, was gone, erased! The peace was amazing.
I will admit a twinge of sadness set in as well. Not over the situation but the fact I should’ve figured this out years ago…but, I suppose there’s a reason I didn’t…there were and will continue to be lessons learned from the situation.
One is…always trust the process and always trust the universe. It will not lead you wrong. Accept what is, let go of what was, and look forward to what will be!
We only get one chance on this spinning rock….don't waste it on living in the what might’ve been! It wasn’t meant to be! Learn your lessons, carry them with you, share them with others, and be grateful to the universe for having your back!
I’m grateful for the ah-ha moments in life, I’m grateful for my life today! I have a good life. I’m not wealthy with a big home and fine furnishings….what I am is comfortable. I cannot imagine my life any other way. Our farm is my heart and soul. It is what keeps me centered and grounded. It’s who I am. There is no where else I’d rather be. I can’t even picture myself anywhere else.
Our lifestyle isn’t for everyone. Most have a job and work for someone else. We gave that up almost 30 years ago. We work for ourselves. We set our own hours, our own days. Are there draw backs? Sure, we don’t get vacations and much of our time is dedicated to the farm. But what we gained is far more valuable than vacations…we have built a life we don’t need a vacation from. We have built a life that is meaningful. A life full of peace, quiet, love for nature and others.
Maybe if you need a vacation from your life, you should re-evaluate your life…jus’ sayin’.
We don’t work to make someone else rich. We dictate who, what, when, where , why and how! That is priceless!
When making decisions for your life, trust the process, listen to that still small voice, that gut instinct…that’s the universe directing you….done ignore it! Embrace it, follow it and find the path meant for you!
Say what needs said to those in your life…leaving things undone creates unnecessary stress. Have no regrets if at all possible! Live your best life even if no one else understands it! Treat people kind, be honest, be fair and let go of those that hold a different (lower) moral standard! When people show you who they are, believe them the first time! They don’t change and behavior doesn’t lie!
Always remember what you put out into the universe, good or bad, will find its way back to you 3 fold! So, always put out good!
Until next time…
