…finding sheila

Sometimes we get stuck in the muck.  It weighs us down for a while.  But we have to pull ourselves out by reminding ourselves why exactly we’re here.  We’re not here to simply exist.  Life is too complex that we would be born merely to experience the rigmarole of material life.  The worries we have, the bills, the stress…are all just affects of the material.   We may not overcome material burden but that doesn’t have to mean we must wallow in it mentally.

The power of positive thinking each and every day will make a tremendous difference and open up a world of avenues that you might not have been able to experience because you mentally did not allow yourself  because you were stuck in a mindset of only concentrating on your worries.    Picture your self in the future in the ideal frame of mind/place/circumstance that you’d WANT to be in.  Focus on that rather than the present muck.   By doing so, you are letting the powers that be, the universe, energies…open up a path for you.  A way so that you may find that dream.  You must make this your mantra daily, think it, believe it.  You can’t just say it once or twice, you have to meditate on it or focus on it daily.

Stop for a minute today to watch a sunrise.  Each morning a new canvas is painted across the vast sky.  Each day a new combination of colors and strokes.  Whether my day is lousy or great I know that tomorrow will be different.   A new canvas.  Just like the colors of the day fade into the night, so should the worries within you during your thinking hours.

Before you go to bed, go outside and scan the sky for 10 minutes.  Look at the stars, the planets.  Gaze into the vast unknown and let your mind wander into the deep.

All that looks empty is actually filled with millions of stars and tremendous energy.   You can’t see it unless you have an instrument, but it’s there.  Just as hope and a better tomorrow is within our reach if we just dig deep enough.   The instrument is your will.  Your soul.

The above photo was taken this morning.  It looks to me like there’s an ‘S’ in the sky.   An ’s’ for Sheila?  For ’supermom’? For ’something wonderful’?  I think so!
