We can give energy to what is wrong or we can give light to what is right.
Life is messy and imperfect.
People are messy and imperfect.
Situations can get messy and are rarely perfect.
And yet most of us don't like this very natural messiness and imperfection, but more than not liking it, we resist it or rally against it.
If we resist it, and try to control the uncontrollable, we end up in pain.
One valuable life lesson I've learned, and seemingly continue to learn over and over again, is that the only way to peace is ACCEPTING the inherent messy, imperfect, evolving, unorderly nature of everything in life.
Next time you see something that isn't "right", that needs fixing or improvement, that fails to meet your expectations, and you feel resistance and upset, try this tip below.
Look to see what IS right, what IS working, what IS awesome, whatever you can identify that is a blessing. Give thanks, and let gratitude shift you into peace.
I wrote this after walking my beautiful 9 month old puppy through the paddocks. Sometimes he listens to me and follows the training we are doing. Other times, he completely ignores me. I was walking along making a list in my head of all the things that I need to change about this. Then I realized this...
We can give energy to what is wrong or we can give light to what is right.
The more you focus on what is working, what is good, what is beautiful... the more you can expand on that.
This applies in our relationships for example. If you focus on how someone is not meeting your expectations, or focus on their habits that bug you, or think about all the things they don't do for you, you might OVERLOOK all the ways that the relationship DOES work.
Life responds to our point of focus. People respond to our energy the same way. Find things to be grateful for, expand that in your awareness and let this good energy carry you forward.
May your day be filled gratitude and peace.
Love

This quote is inspiration for me. Today, I focused on improving communications, being grateful and sending out good energy.
Life does respond, and people do respond. My mental health responds with the positive information I send it.
