In the world we live in there’s so many chances for us to become filled with fear and thus allow fear to project into our every day lives. For me this is something I work on continuously as I really try to live in peace not in fear. When we choose to live in fear, even without knowing we are doing it, we will, in fact, see the “seeds”, per sa, grow that are fear based and affect every area of our lives. In turn, if we decide to kick fear in the butt and live in peace, gratitude and thanksgiving these seeds will grow!
So for me today I’m again assessing myself, my life, my attitude and looking at what I’m personally putting out into the world and how I can personally improve at, not only projecting happiness, faith and love, but also guarding my heart against feeding those who choose to live in fear.
The other thing I am choosing to work on is allowing myself to speak words of fearful things, negative things, etc. I believe, for the most part, I’m a very positive person however I am far from perfect and I am constantly wanting to improve. With that being said even small complaining is something I try to work on daily. There’s an old saying you are what you eat. This to goes for words you speak as well – good or bad.
Today I am thankful for the blessing of getting out of bed and having another day to give it a shot! That’s all we really get anyway… until we don’t. So while I have the chance to improve and become a better person I will give it my best!
To those going through fearful situations, as we all do, I pray for you to have courage and strength to get through whatever is headed your way! Whoever you choose to believe in God, the universe, I know one thing is for sure – having faith in good things you can’t go wrong! Half the battle, or more, I believe, is in the mind and how you perceive any given situation. Some things we may see as a battle or a disaster to some may be a blessing.
This morning Karla my roomate and friend pointed out to me my little strawberry plant has three buds! To some this may be such a silly little thing but to me it’s awesome! I have never really planted anything since I was a little kid planting a bean in elementary. To see something so small as a strawberry plant grown into a sweet little bite to eat is pretty darn cool. I should have three little strawberry’s any day now.
I choose to see beauty in simple small things! I hope no matter what you are going through in your life you will decide to see that little spark of light.
God Bless
