Reality is one of the most beautiful gifts that we can participate in. Life seems to be a continual lesson of either accepting reality or not. For a long time from the victim perspective I could not accept reality because it seemed as though one bad thing would happen after another. I could not accept reality because there was so much I wanted to change about me and my circumstances and felt powerless to do so. I was powerless because I was relying on my power alone. It is with God that I am able to make changes to long-standing thoughts and behaviors. It is with the power of All That Is that I am able to accept reality and embrace its gifts, no matter the packages they come in. When I am in acceptance there is the gift of surrender. Surrender as in going to the winning side–the side that accepts that when I am fighting reality I am not doing anything other than wanting to stay in fantasy. Sometimes I cannot accept what is happening right here, right now. So, I am honest with God: This sucks, show me how to see this. Just so you know I don’t like this but I am willing to let go of my idea of how it should be and be open to how I might grow from this. Or my favorite: I cannot accept this as it is right now, but I can accept that I don’t accept it. This allows me the space to be authentic and open to what is possible. Then I am truly in the reality of my heart, mind and spirit. The grace this gives me is the willingness to not abandon myself into some fantasy. Instead I am choosing to live life on life’s terms and see things as God sees them, not just as I see them. My prayer for us today is that we be willing to be honest with ourselves and with God about our level of acceptance in the moment and give ourselves the gift of not trying to fight reality. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
