This day I remembered was also a snowy day mixed with ice. At the time, we did not have someone to plow. With my trusty shovel, I began to remove the snow. Under the snow was a thick layer of ice. I was inspired to make this ordeal a prayer. As I was breaking the ice, I set the intention to also break up patterns and negative thoughts within me.
All change starts with you. You want to see the world in a better place, start with you. You want to see peace on earth, it starts with you. That is how we are all healers. As we do our work and weed out all that is unlike God, we see things differently. As we see things differently, we share differently. We no longer see, “It’s me against the world,” but we see we are all in this together; we are one.
When you know this Truth, you are confident you can handle anything that is presented to you; you are willing to embrace all.
Great news! The journey from Screaming Mimi to the life that can be lived by seeing only God is an 18-inch journey. It is the journey from the mind to the heart. That is a hard 18 inches when we fight. Yet, once we stop fighting, we realize that the journey is already done. We don’t have to seek it because we have always had it within.
It can be difficult to take hold of your thoughts. It is worth the effort and the work because we cause so much misery that is unnecessary.
I had a teacher that said, “Life is not all about you.” It is not. I am pleased to say, it is a whole lot better. You realize that there is so much more to life. To live empty, your life is joy filled.
Now, years, later I read this question, and the answer came to me. Share the Love that I have received. Share the beauty and simplicity of our Creator. I have been doing just that, not only in the book, but in my blogs. How exciting!! I decided to go one step further: from this day forward, I will set the intention to write from the place of love. We are all Loving, Lovable, and Loved forever!!
You can have a strong desire to awaken, to know God. (Don’t get caught up in the title. I give Divine—change that to anything you want in your head.) Without intention, desire does not stay front and center. Intention helps us to stay committed to our desire.
There is not a moment in your life that you are not creating. The question is do you wish to create in line with the Creator or go rogue and create from the lower aspect of yourself: Screaming Mimi.
This can be painful at first, but slowly it becomes somewhat enjoyable. Why? It is freeing. You feel lighter, happier. As you let go of your perceptions, you free yourself from negative emotions and beliefs that no longer suit you. It is painful when you realize you spent precious time holding on to a perception instead of trying to work on yourself and your relationship with George.
