What if

What if everything that is happening to you is good for you. It is the universe trying to teach you a lesson to make you a better more successful person.  It's not what is happening to us is the problem, it is how we think about it, it is how we perceive and judge it and then react to that judgement.
What if we are grateful and thankful for everything that shows up in our lives? What if we welcome difficulties?  What if we just accept things the way they are without putting a lot of judgement on them, how will that affect our heart space. How would you feel if you could not think thoughts that upset you?
What if you really could not think such thoughts? How would you feel? What if you couldn't think the thoughts that keep you away, what if?
After you contemplate on these questions you would see that you are just a thought away from feeling great and perfect.  Find a reason to celebrate your experiences and sometimes to even laugh at them.



A conscious realization of our innate oneness with the Ineffable does not mean that we will never make a mistake again. Even enlightened beings burn their bagels once in a while. It’s important to maintain a sense of humor because this is how you will stop being afraid of making a mistake. You’ll make some, but so what? That’s why they’re called mis-takes. Humor relaxes the uptight ego. You get a new cue from your inner Self and simply say, “I missed my cue, so let’s do a second take.” Your willingness to take the risk of making a mistake is actually an expression of courage and a willingness to grow from them. Mistakes are about getting the blessing in the lesson and the lesson in the blessing.” ~ Michael Bernard Beckwith from Spiritual Liberation
