I thought this deserves some mention. I have heard people say, “I am staying positive—I will get the new job”. You can replace “new job” with anything you want.
You might get what you are staying positive about; however, you might not. That is Screaming Mimi’s idea of being positive, but it is a lie.
Mimi tries to wish things she desires into existence. When the ego does not get what it wants, the blame game starts. “I must have not been positive enough; I must have had some doubt”.
After Mimi blames herself, shame and guilt follow. No matter how hard you try, you might not get what you want. However, you will get the lessons you need, which will move you to understand the meaning of being positive.
Being positive means being aligned with the truth about life, and about God. The Truth is Love is behind life, life is supportive, and you are love, manifest in form. When you know this Truth, you are confident you can handle anything that is presented to you; you are willing to embrace all. Being positive means being Loving, peaceful, compassionate
and forgiving.
When you let Mimi lead instead of your higher self, none of these attributes can be totally present. Mimi will never be happy and will never have enough. I remember when I played the piano, I was never happy with myself because it was never good enough. I missed a note, or I did not express myself through the music. The point is I was never good enough.
If by chance I did not make a mistake, I would think it was because the piece was too easy. Now, that is stinkin thinkin. Mimi makes sure you are unhappy.
It is time to discover our positive, loving, courageous, wise self. This leads you to be positive through knowing you have within you everything you need to face anything. There is a knowing that anything you are facing, no matter how hard, you are ready for it. You have the tools.
Take a breath, and breathe in an aspect of the Divine. Start your transformation.
