So much of life is not what is actually happening but who we are being as it is happening.  I remember hearing years ago that it is about the process not the content.  The content is the destination and the process is the journey.  My mind likes to attach itself to the content.  What is happening, who is involved, what is the end result?  Then if the content doesn’t match my expectations (the wrong people are there, the situation isn’t what I expected, people are reacting differently than I thought they would, etc), I can lose the lesson and the experience because I am too focused on the content.  When I am disappointed or frustrated by what is happening in my life, it is usually because it doesn’t look like what I thought it would look like.  However, if I focus on what I am learning and invite in how it is transforming my heart and my mind, then I am back in the journey.  If I trust that life is happening for me, not to me, then I can invite whatever is happening even if the content is different.  This is not always easy, especially when we live in a world that measures its value by the content–the car, the job, the relationship, etc.  I can get caught up in looking at my life and think it doesn’t measure up simply because my content doesn’t match the expectations of others or myself.  That is why I must bring it back to God.  Creator of all creation–is this what you have brought into my world so that I can connect with you in a more profound way?  Is this the process you want me to invite so that I can see how deep and strong the power of love is? Today I would invite you to invite in something or someone whose content doesn’t match and see what the process has to reveal to you about you.  Why not, right?–it is only for today.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
