This world is full of turmoil. The relief comes in knowing however, that it is only a projection of our mind. I say that because when my mind is in turmoil, that is how I see the world. When my mind is at peace, when I see the world as friendly and engaging, that is exactly what it is. It is hard sometimes to believe that what we are seeing is simply a projection of our inner world, but think about a time when you were in-love. Everything just seemed to have a glow about it. You saw the person you were in-love with as one who could do no wrong. You were excited when they entered the room, you hated to be away from them, and it felt like it would last forever. But how you saw everything else in your life was also the same. It is as if you were not aware of political discontent, emotional strife, poverty, or anger and resentment. Does that mean it did not exist? Of course not, but your heart and your mind were simply focused elsewhere and those other things were out of your vision. It was a pure state of bliss. Consider two things: 1)This is how God sees you all the time, 2) You are capable of experiencing this state of mind anytime you choose. Being amicable does not mean being in denial, it means choosing what to focus on. What you focus on expands. It does not mean that there aren’t things that need to be dealt with, but we dont’ have to deal with them as though they are an enemy. Life is about lessons. I have never found that I learn much when I am fighting it. This is the heart of acceptance and surrender. If life is exactly as it should be and I truly trust that there is God that is taking care of me, then I can approach my day with a friendly attitude. My prayer for you today is in a situation that you are fighting, you be open to ask God to help you see it as your friend. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
