“A miracle is nothing more than allowing an old grievance to become a current compassion.”

~ Dr. Lee Jampolsky

You know, my friend, the miracles, the blessings, they are all around us just waiting to happen — waiting for us to let them happen. And all it takes is a shift in our energy, a shift in perspective, from one of anger or resentment to one of acceptance and forgiveness.

When you realize that everything is just a matter of perspective and there are always multiple perspectives you can view from, doesn’t it make you wonder how many ways you cause yourself to suffer unnecessarily?

Why not just let the grievances go, my friend? Give it a try. Drop the negative judgment and see if you don’t allow more blessings to flow your way.

“You have the capacity to change the world within a moment. All you have to do is make a simple choice. Are you going to choose a world of love and gratitude, or a tortured world filled with discontent and impoverishment? The answer will depend on your attitude at this very moment.”

~ Masaru Emoto, The Hidden Messages in Water

You know, my friend, it really can be that simple. A simple change in perspective — a new thought — and life can change on a dime.

There are always multiple, infinite even, perspectives through which we can view life. And the way we view life is the way we experience life. But not only that, my friend, we get to choose the perspective. Think about the power in that.

For instance, you can choose to believe that the Universe is working for you or against you. One choice has the potential to fill you with love and gratitude, the other resentment and bitterness.

So, which perspective do you choose? Or more importantly, do you want more of the same or is it time for a change?

“Do not seek with cold eyes to find blemishes, or the roses will turn to thorns as you gaze. Ingratitude is a sign of ignorance, for those who know the truth are thankful.”

~ Mahmud Shabistari, The Secret Rose Garden

Appreciation is like a magic wand that ushers in more to appreciate.

But remember, my friend, what you put out is what you get back. Which means the opposite is true, too. The problem is that very few are willing to take responsibility for that creation.

“When you surrender your will, you are saying, “Even though things are not exactly how I’d like them to be, I will face my reality. I will look it directly in the eye and allow it to be here.” Surrender and serenity are synonymous; you can’t experience one without the other. So if it’s serenity you’re searching for, it’s close by. All you have to do is resign as General Manager of the Universe. Choose to trust that there is a greater plan for you and that if you surrender, it will be unfolded in time.”

~ Debbie Ford, Spiritual Divorce

When you have faith there is no need to control. You know your role is not to manage things. Instead, your role is to simply set your intention, focus your attention, release any tension and hand over the rest to the Universe.

The thing is, my friend, to get from where you are to where you want to be the Universe may just have to take you through places you hadn’t envisioned. These are the times when you need faith. Simply trust that Divine Intelligence is always at work and know that the right thing happens.

“Teach thy tongue to say, “I do not know,” and thou shalt progress.”

~ Maimonides

There’s no sense in pouring anything more into a glass that’s already full, right? But if you’re empty — if you don’t already know it all — then there’s room to receive.

And when you think about it, my friend, how can you really be sure that you know it all anyway?

It’s better for us to understand that we don’t know what we don’t know!

“The physical body is at work every moment, an array of mechanisms with a brilliance of design and efficiency our human efforts have never begun to match. Our hearts beat, our lungs breathe, our ears hear, our hair grows. And we don’t have to make them work — they just do. Planets revolve around the sun, seeds become flowers, embryos become babies, and with no help from us. Their movement is built into a natural system. You and I are integral parts of that system, too. We can let our lives be directed by the same force that makes flowers grow — or we can do it ourselves.

“To trust in the force that moves the universe is faith. Faith isn’t blind, it’s visionary. Faith is believing that the universe is on our side, and that the universe knows what it’s doing. Faith is a psychological awareness of an unfolding force for good, constantly at work in all dimensions.”

~ Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love

Do you have faith, my friend? Can you trust that all is as it should be, for right now anyway?

Here’s the test: the greater your need to control, the less faith you have. And a little more to ponder: have you noticed how the need to control creates tension while faith creates ease?

You don’t have to struggle, my friend. Relax and trust that the right thing happens.

“I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.”

~ Mahatma Gandhi

To err is human, my friend. As human beings none of us is perfect. There will be moments when we behave in a way that is less than our ideal.

The pure of heart strive always to right a wrong quickly knowing that to do otherwise prolongs their own suffering. To them, nothing is worse than being out of alignment with the pure, positive vibration of Spirit, their Best Self.

“You know why it’s hard to be happy? It’s because we refuse to LET GO of the things that make us sad.”

~ Bruce H. Lipton, Biology of Belief

You know, my friend, our natural state is one of happiness. It’s light, easy, playful, fun. That’s what Life feels like when it gets to flow through us uninhibited.

What is it that keeps you from allowing that grace to flow? What makes you sad? What’s keeping your life serious, heavy and restricted? Does it have to be exactly as it is? (absolutely NOT!) Can you let it go? (YES, you can!) Are you willing to let it go? That right there is the real question.

Sometimes all it takes is just a simple shift in how you view something and all that sadness can drain away. And you know what’ll happen when you release the sadness? You float right back up to your natural light and happy state.

You deserve to be happy, my friend. Give it to yourself.
