Hello Inspiration-Seekers,
As a poet, I enjoy metaphors. Let's think about your life being like a garden. Most of us, even if we are not gardeners, enjoy fresh, lush flowers and fruits. If your life was a garden, wouldn't you want to grow awesome stuff in it?
The good news is that your life IS a garden. What are you growing in it? Everything you do, think, believe, feel, say, and envision bears fruit. It's not a magic wand, whereby one thought (whether positive or negative) reaps a consequence. But how you act and how you continue to think and feel and believe in regards to that thought will reap consequences. Just like the seed that is intentionally planted or carelessly tossed onto the dirt will grow and bear fruit if the conditions are right.
Nurture the good stuff. Feed and water the dreams and thoughts that you want to come to fruition. Your mind circles around the words you say. Watch your words. Do you really want to say things like "That's killing me", "I'm losing my mind", or "I'm a failure"? Where you put your attention, that thing grows. There is a way you can truthfully acknowledge where you are at without putting a negative spin on it. But don't be stuck there. Move forward in your vision and life.
This is where affirmations come in. Saying "I hate my job" does not get you any closer to having a job that you love. Saying "I am in the process of finding a job that I love" brings you a step closer to your goal. Notice the power of present tense. Don't say "I will find a job I love in the future." That is better than saying you hate your current job, but it doesn't have the same power that will help in co-creating with Universe what you want to happen.
Happy planting, tending, observing, harvesting, and basking in the Sun shining on you,
Patricia :-)
