Taking Gentle Control of Your Life
Day 35: Realizing that you are a beautiful creator
I could not believe my eyes! Many years ago I planted a little pear tree in our back garden. It had beautiful blooms in the spring but never had any pears. I thought that maybe it needed to be near another pear tree to be pollinated. Imagine my pure delight yesterday when I looked up and saw pears on the tree! They are growing, evolving, and will be ripe and ready to pick this fall. I always had a strange faith in this tree and loved it anyway. What if we could love ourselves in that way? Know that with all of our mistakes and imperfections, we are powerful creators of our lives. There are outside events that we cannot control, but our inner world is our dominion. On my 100 day journey of exploring the spirit, today is the first day I share with you from the book The Force by Stuart Wilde.
Once you totally accept that you, not fate control your life, a door opens silently within you, and without realizing it at first, you begin a higher evolution. If negativity were not a part of the curriculum, there would be no reason for the higher self to incarnate because there would be no learning process. -Stuart Wilde
Creating a positive, beautiful world inside your spirit is a daily practice. So often, there are negative events all around us, it can be challenging to keep our inner self light and radiant. Accepting complete and total responsibility for our own lives is the key to creating the life of our dreams.
Your life builds upon a pattern, and eventually that pattern sets you free. -Stuart Wilde
I look upon this global event we are all experiencing as an opportunity to go within. It is a chance to take a look at who we truly are. We have time to examine our inner selves to learn the pattern that we are building upon in life. We can choose to create a beautiful mosaic in our hearts, or shattered glass. The choice is ours. If we see a pattern that is not serving us, we can change that within ourselves. When we make an adjustment in our lives, we raise our energy and our creativity such that we uplift others along the way.
Through this time of reflection, inner growth, and spiritual awakening I have learned about many patterns in my life that I have decided to change. Those patterns include hiding from the world and not allowing abundance to flow to me. To create a life of pure joy, I must examine these patterns and learn to change them within myself.
Hiding from the world is something that I have done for a long time. It is a pattern that no longer serves me as I grow and change along my path. To change this pattern, I must take responsibility for it. That is the first step. After that, it is up to me to take action. One way I am taking action is to show up daily through a piece of writing. In this way, I am showing myself to the world through my creativity. Taking it a step further, I have a deep knowing that I need to create videos to further express myself and to bring more joy into the world.
Not allowing abundance to flow to me is a pattern I have held tight to for a long time. I had resistance to charging for services or creative efforts. I thought that I did not need or deserve this abundance. I thought that it would make me a bad or unkind person to have a flow of money in my life. Now I realize those are only thought-forms, and they no longer serve me. I am aware that it was only a pattern that I have the strength to change. As a part of this shift, I am making more offers, creating more and managing my money in a sacred way. I realize that I have a long way to go, but knowing there is resistance and starting to take control is the beginning of the journey.
The more you concentrate your energy, the faster it occillates and the more of the force you express. As this happens, worlds and dimensions that are occillating slightly faster than you are open to your perceptions. This opening is the key to life and the reason for understanding the force within you is so that you can for your own efforts graduate from the circumstances within which you find yourself. -Stuart Wilde
My prayer and intention for you today is that you realize that you are a beautiful creator of your own life. You have the potential inside of you, just like my pear tree always had. Taking complete creative responsibility for your life, no matter what is going on all around you, is a powerful step. I wish you abundance, strength, and love all along the way.
How are you taking creative responsibility for your life today?
