I spoke with a very important person today and she told me about a remarkable experience she had this day. When she went to be the night before she realized that she was wearing herself out trying to control outcomes and behaviors all around her. Of course, when I say it like that you can see how easily that would be exhausting, but, when you are living it you believe you are the conductor of your life and if you put the baton down the music would stop. NOT SO!! If you put the baton down "The Conductor" will take over - the orchestrator of all things great and small, but, I digress.
So she tells me how she felt so down in the dumps this morning that she was committing her morning to doing whatever made her feel good. Out of that event came a series of unbelievable coincidences that made her feel that "The Conductor" was really listening and sending her messages every step of the way. As she relayed this story it was apparent I was amused. I explained that I love getting reinforcement that it is in letting go, allowing flow, that all things come to us as they should - in the perfect time and in just the right way. Ironically, it is not how you imagine it will be, in most cases you COULDN'T have imagined it this way! That is the gift of allowing.
First you got to have the experience that creates the wanting. That's the annoying, day-to-day life stuff that makes you say - I wish this were different or I want that. Once you put that out there -- the flow is on it's way. The universe is always responding to give us what we are vibrating for in our daily life. If you are in a bad mood when you get up in the morning, it only follows that you can't find your keys. Then, while your looking for your keys, you spill your coffee on yourself, you figure your home so you'll just quickly change when you rip your last pair of pantyhose. Finally, you get out the door, trip on your way to the car and of course there is unimaginable traffic. Every step of the way each of these events reminds you about how miserable you were when you woke up.
OK same morning different approach. You wake up and your in a good mood, a little smiley... you go to get your keys to leave and you realize they are not where you thought they were - ok - good time for a cup of joe - it will come to me - you pour your coffee and then you remember you left the keys on the table. Great! Now you head out the door - thank goodness the morning is going so well that you are a little early. Traffic - awesome - now I can listen to the newest stuff on my iPod... You get the idea. Good begets good and the opposite is true, too.
So, this important person tells me about their awesome day and I am thrilled that she was so fed up that she would "allow" her day to flow to her in positive ways. By the end of today her mood and attitude was exactly the opposite of the day before.
This is a great "remember thought". Review this day, all the cool coincidences and label them in your head instead of counting sheep tonight. Then the next time you are feeling bad or scared - recall these moments of this day and remind yourself they only come about when you stop trying to make them come about.
That is the final piece of the puzzle - Allowing the Universe to unfold as it should. C'mon, you can do it!
Something new: special meeting at work to bring about "new ideas" (totally great)
Something different: I think this blog is taking on a different flavor - we'll see...
