Life isn’t meant to be an endurance test. It’s a gift for you to appreciate and enjoy.
If challenging things are happening or happened to you, you might wonder why.
It’s NOT a punishment, especially not from God or the universe!
It won’t help to look for whose fault it is or to blame yourself or others.
It’s not because you did something wrong or you’re not good enough!!!
It’s because your very essence, your soul /spirit/ higher wisdom, is guiding you toward new opportunities to learn lessons, make new choices, think and feel differently, stop being angry or afraid, take your power back, live in greater joy, or to be in closer alignment with who you really are.
And, from this authentic place, express your gifts to the world.
Whaaattt?! You may think there is zero way you would have brought this to yourself.
You’re right. Of course, none of us in our everyday thinking would ask for unfavorable circumstances!
However, our essence knows the spiritual lessons we are to learn, and it takes these as a higher priority over our physical comfort.
“Whatever happens to us originates in the mind.”
— Lester Levenson
The good news is that we can CHOOSE to learn these lessons with GRACE AND EASE.
It’s time for an enhanced awakening – to remember your life is not meant to be laborious and a struggle but to be lived more true to You than ever before.
The question is how conscious do you choose to be in the process? How hard do you make it?
You can choose to learn your lessons in a gentle way by decreeing it so.
You can make a choice: I choose _________ (you fill in the blank).
At the end of your life, you can look back with no regrets and say, “I learned a lot. I loved. And I enjoyed the ride.”
How much you enjoy life is a litmus test to know if you’re living in alignment with your soul.
Your head tells you what you think you should do, which isn’t always supportive to you or others.
Which is which – guidance from your head or inner Beingness? Ask yourself if you’re really enjoying all aspects of your life?
Your soul guides you to be in a rhythm with Life, with the Life force, with divine flow.
Make the connection:
- When you feel good about you and enjoy life, you attract good things.
- Because you feel life has more meaning than day-to-day concerns, you’re happier.
- Because you’re happier, your activities flow more smoothly.
- When it does, you make more money and are more effective at whatever you do.
- This generates more productivity, and you get more done.
- You live inspired, creative and express your precious gifts with the world.
Even in hardship, you can appreciate and enjoy being alive. It’s a perspective.
If you feel life is hard, one challenge after another, waiting for the other shoe to fall, what else can go wrong – you’re in fear, not in the flow. And with this energy you’ll attract more circumstances to match what you’re feeling, which creates a vicious circle of what you don’t want.
You can choose to see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, appreciate acts of kindness and focus on gratitude and love.
Enjoying life is not frivolous, an aside to what’s really important or an optional cherry on the cake.
ENJOYING LIFE IS THE CAKE!
What can you do to enjoy yourself more? Take time to do it because it’s YOUR life, and your life is not a means to an end. There are no brownie points to endure it. Instead, make conscious choices to enjoy your gift of being alive.
You deserve to enjoy yourself, and you are so very much worth it.
