During these challenging times, when you’re forced to listen to your thoughts more than usual – what are they telling you?
Do you think you or humanity is being punished by God? Maybe God is laughing at you, at us?
Are you frightened during the night or in private moments about what you hear inside your head? What if the worse happens?
Do you feel depressed, anxious, angry, alone, bored, scared or any number of other sad emotions?
Why is this happening?
The late, fascinating Stuart Wilde wrote about another way of looking at moments, like what we’re experiencing, in his book The Trick to Money is Having Some:
If you don’t change, reality in the end forces that change upon you. But the ego/personality hates change…”
“To me the quintessence of freedom is feeling not a circumstance. If you rely on circumstance to grant you freedom, it is unlikely that you will ever achieve it. For circumstances constantly change and the very nature of your seeking freedom in things outside of yourself creates the impossibility of it in your heart.”
Maybe you doubt yourself.
Do you feel that at your core you’re chopped liver – a bumbling incompetent who’s made irredeemable mistakes?
Do you think you might be a candidate for the Guinness Book of World Records for “worst blunders ever made by anyone anywhere?”
Therefore, do you believe it’s justifiable for others to look down or laugh at you?
That would be a kinda harsh opinion of yourself, ya think?
Now what if you amped up this judgmental blather a notch to believe this is how God or the universe sees you?
As a result of this thinking, you might think that an all-loving Prime Creator of life would laugh at you, too.
This isn’t true!
A woman, who’s experiencing big challenges, quoted Woody Allen: “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”
She felt her best thinking and plans got her to this turning point, and she’s made a mess of it.
By this statement, she then expanded her focus from those who are judgy and laugh at others’ expense to include a mean-spirited God laughing at her.
What a great example of the ego’s Jedi Mind Trick. It loves to make you wrong and compare you and your success and money (or so-called lack of them) to others – you’re not good enough or certainly not as good as “them.”
Ponder this:
If you’re a parent, do you want your kids to wait for your permission before doing things?
Would you want to train them to be afraid of making mistakes and decisions? To be afraid of what life throws at them? Because of this, they’d doubt themselves and procrastinate.
After a while, you might suggest they stand on their own feet and make their own choices. Even if they screw up, which inevitably everyone does, they’re learning.
Mother/Father God, the universe, or however you view this loving Source energy, cares and supports you in the same way.
Take a leap of faith. Believe in yourself! You can get through this.
How can you stay true to your spiritual roots and make good decisions, especially now?
Empower yourself by aligning with your inner spirit first.
- Find your anchor of calm within; it’s there.
- Breathe.
- Detach emotionally from others’ opinions of what you should do as well as your reaction to life’s circumstances.
- How does something feel – good or not so much? Feeling good is a positive indicator.
- Then make decisions, and take action.
- This world is designed for everyone to make mistakes.
- It’s perfectly impossible to be perfect.
- The lesson is not about giving up on your plans but on being true to you.
