Growing In The Cracks

The sidewalk is cracked allowing some plants weeds to push through was it cracked for the weeds, was it the strength of the plants underneath that forced this one plant through to air—to life. To thrive in foot traffic bring life forward. Or are the cracks just random? Something for the sidewalk owner to focus upon so the sidewalk is never quite perfect. Something for the weed to focus upon as being the perfect place to grow.

What is really important is the focus.

Do not focus on the weeds and the cracks. Instead focus on the larger parts the home, the house all the things that work. The life of that simple weeds demonstrates you will grow through this.

Just keep coming back. Do not deny your pain and anger, but do deny it focus. Focusing on what you want is not spiritual by pass. It is an uplifting example of the things Spirit can do.

To feel good is not a sin. It is the only way to uplift others out of the endless cycle of compassionate empathetic pain. Be compassionate setting an example.

What can you do right now? What do you need right now?

If there is nothing you need right now, be grateful your needs are met. Focus on how great that feels. Relax and just sit in peace knowing your needs are met. Sit in peace knowing God at little deeper appreciating the light within you that glows brightly with the light of the infinite.

Let the rhythm and beats of the vibrations and sounds around you find harmony in that glow. Find a harmony in your surroundings and follow that deeper all glowing and gently moving through your consciousness. Just know. Trust in the divine order of the universe, and pray for the highest good of all concerned.

Find harmony in that glow. Let you inner flame glow. Dance with it.

Challenges Everywhere

A good prayer life helps move the needle on the challenges. A great prayer increases your faith. It is not about getting God on your side. God is already on your side. A great prayer is about acknowledging that God has never left your side. It is as much about remembering as it is about acknowledging where Spirit is in your life.

If the distance between God and you feels great. A couple of moments in prayer can help to close the gap.

Be Careful, Don’t Drop That! Creates A Condition Where Dropping Is Likely

Suppose you are at a buffet or some gathering with many friends. There are adults, children, and food — lots of food.

You see a child. They are at food line getting their plate as full as they can. When they move away from the line and head towards their seat. You are thinking, don’t drop it. Some of you might think where are this child’s parents.

All thoughts of food disasters, huge spills might go through your mind. Then you hear someone one say, “Jay, hold it steady and even. You got this.”

Positive Expectations

The person who spoke in this situation used language to express positive expectations. In your mind, it is possible you were thinking about all the different directions that food could go. Obviously, Jay and the person who said something had better plans.

Children and some adults are confident. But when someone lovingly voices their concern about a looming disaster, saying, “Be careful, do not drop that.” Or in other scenarios, lovingly offering backhanded support. “Are you sure you can handle this?” The lack of confidence in those phrases can create a break in self confidence or a bravado of confidence.

The break or the boost in confidence often results in unpredictable consequences. The child may drop it, since they believe it is for drawn conclusion. Or even worse your words could be seen as a challenge. Now, they will show you exactly how much and how quickly they can carry even more.

Pay Attention To Your Thoughts

Notice how often your mind goes to the worse case scenario.  Start consciously changing the internal narrative. Gently reframe that thought by imagining the outcome you desire.
