The choice to begin anything starts with a clear understanding of what I want. In creating a family, building a business, developing relationships and understanding failures are my greatest accomplishments have been the pinnacle of where my learning has been over the last seven months. What our little girl inside me has taught me is that this life that I have created is forever in my favor. In last month’s study session of A Course in Miracles, the group spoke to the concept of how life is happening for us, not to us and like everything else, it is a choice of whether or not to believe in that or not.
Are you choosing to believe that everything that has ever happened in your life, happened for you, not to you? As a gift and privilege rather than a pitfall on your path?
For me, I believe everything serves a purpose, everyone serves as a teacher and every decision I make creates a ripple effect in my life. It is, of course, a practice that I whole heartedly believe in practicing.
Everything has been put on my plate due to a decision I have made or a circumstance I have made the choice to be put in. The situations that don’t seem to be my doing? They have been given to me to do something with, to perpetuate a new outcome that may be out of the norm, may seem uncomfortable and may ask me to be brave.
Who are you becoming, knowing that all of the hardships and all the beauty that life has given you has created the you that you are today? What would be possible if you chose to believe everything, literally all things that are happening in your life are happening for you, as an opportunity to thrive in and stem out of?
