Isn't life great? I think so. I have more troubles in a day than some people have in a week, but I maintain that life is good! Situations can look different depending on where you are standing when you observe or experience it. I am 36 years young and I have a very different perspectivefrom most people that I know. I am incredibly moody at times...especially with my family. They can really bring out the dark side of my personality. This is an odd thing because I love them to pieces and would die for anyone of them in a blink of an eye. But there are just times when I need space! An example of this was yesterday. My son who is three was just irritating me all day yesterday. He was clingy and whiny and not behaving nicely. I planned to go to the store for supplies that we needed for the upcoming Talent Show, so I ditched that boy fast! He stayed with Daddy and I got a much needed (QUIET) shopping experience.
Anyway, what does that little story have to do with Magic in life? It has more to do with Magic than I ever would have thought. As I was leaving the store, there was this little girl with her Dad leaving the store. The girl didn't want to go because apparently her Mom was still in the store and Dad was taking the child to the car to wait for her. She was crying, "but my Mommy!" and looking back and wandering back to see if her Mother was still nearby. When I heard her little cry, my whole body hurt. I missed my son instantly. By the time I returned home, I had only been gone an hour. Hearing my Boy yell happily to me and run into my arms....well...that just felt like magic to me. See, life can be simple or it can be hard. I choose to make it as simple as possible now. I have HUGE dreams- virtually mountainous. I work toward achieving them everyday. And because I do this, I have deeply satisfying days.
Knowledge of the Law of Attraction has changed how I live my life and how I treat people. These small adjustments have made a big impact on my feelings of self-worth and overall life satisfaction which has in turn reversed some of my moodiness and altered my negativity. I am not perfect. It is a daily practice to improve myself. Each morning, as my conscious world divines itself upon me...sunlight in eyes (grumble)...I make a concerted effort to first think of my happy thoughts and the course for my day. Obviously we can never be completely sure what will happen in any given day, but I think my day through every morning. I think about who I will see and what I must do. I immediately head to the bathroom and greet my face in the mirror. I have added to this routine, that I carefully wash and moisturize my face. While I do these things, I am also thinking about the thoughts that will produce good results for me. Most people are not aware that their thoughts will bear fruit...but I am aware.
So the magic of life presents intself to me through this practice of daily positive thinking. I focus alot on what I can do for others and what they may need from me. I ask myself daily, "what can I do for them"? I look for ways to be of assistance to people who I will see each day. In some cases, I know the smallest gestures will be enough...smiling when I greet them, being efficient on my job...even something as simple as overlooking an insult from a person can help create the strong positive energy needed to accomplish great things! These techniques really work! I have many things I envision for my life and because I have such lofty ideas, it can be tempting for me to "look down" upon the objects around me and find what I dislike about them. A good example of what I mean is my furniture. Our furniture is old and worn. Do I desire old, worn furniture? Of course not! But looking at my furniture angrily will not change it. Instead, when I notice the condition of it, I try to remind myself of two things...first, I remember the good times and people who have been in our lives and shared a seat on these sofas, chairs or floors...and I remember the meals we have shared at these tables. Second, I consider the wonderful feeling I will have when the new beautiful furniture I desire will arrive! These positive emotions are not so hard to create using the formula I described.
These are the simple ways that life is magical. I love when there is real serendipity, synchronicity and unity. It is hardest to maintain the positivity when very (seemingly) bad things happen. We will not discuss these in today's blog, but for the monor irritations or the disappointments and bad news that can arise in any given day, it is important to fall back on the foundation of your practices. It is especially good in these situations to spend time in quiet meditation and in visualizing your desired outcomes rather than to dwell on the feelings associated with the "bad" events. I work with children all day long and so there are many minor irritations that affect me daily. I work diligently to not dwell but overlook or to address a problem and then quickly put the matter behind me. I accept the people and situations for who and what they are. This has freed me up to receive many wonderful gestured of kindness and love and alos has opened many doors of opportunity.
I wish all of my readers a MAGICAL day!
