My entire being is filled with gratitude for the people who have come in and out of my life. It's all been for me. As I look back over the course of my life, I notice that I was in constant wait and hope to find my comfort and feel grounded. I was living life as if it were a dress rehearsal. What I didn't realize was that it (my life) was happening and that by wishing for something different, I was missing it. My life and world was all within me.
What I think of the world and the people I surround myself IS my world.
It's as simple as that!
Who would you be in your life if you didn't believe thoughts like I should be different. I need something else. He is rude. She cut me off. He shouldn't have said that. She should appreciate me. Mother's are supposed to____. Husband's shouldn't _____. Wife's should _____.
What I have found is that without these thoughts (true or not) there is room to breathe and witness the beauty of what is. When I hold should and shouldn't as rules, I limit myself and my experience of others.
I invite you to find room to breathe this weekend as you witness yourself and your thoughts about others. Take a moment to consider who you would be in that moment, if that negative or judgmental thought didn't appear. What would be different? I challenge you to walk past the thought and love the way of it.
My sweet son, Angelo painted this for me and it reminds me of how we all hold the world in our hands. What does your world look like?
In peace and love,
Robyn
