Imagine if you have been living the same mundane life style. Always taking the same types of jobs that are less than fulfilling, but it pays the bills so you stay out of necessity. Or entered into the same type of relationships, dating the same type of people, and wonder why your love life always ends in heartache and emptiness. Or wondering as a whole, why you just can't catch a break. Now imagine if you made a conscious decision to flip all of that on its head, and start living outside what you have always known. Go ahead and ask yourself what your life would look like if you got to wake up every day and go to that dream job. How you would feel if you found the love of your life and it was the easiest, most fulfilling relationship you have ever been in. Imagine what it would look like if everything just seemed to work out for you.
At some point, if we can slow ourselves down enough to recognize it, we have the ability to change our perspective just enough to allow all that we have ever imagined to come to us. Now hear me out. I'm well aware that some things are just out of our control. We get hit with a health issue. Or sometimes it's easier said than done to get out of a toxic relationship. But if we can just sit for long enough in the idea that we could have what we want, things start lining up to give it to us. I know. It sounds like a stretch. But I can sit here and honestly say I've experienced it. So I continue to make a choice to keep going with it. Sometimes all it takes is the slightest shift to make a choice to see what's in front of you. Sometimes when you want it so bad, you get caught up more in noticing the lack of it, than the fact that it's literally in your face. You just have to be willing to receive it.
You see, we have been conditioned to prepare for the worst. So we're always, without even realizing it, looking for the worst. It's instinctual. We can't help ourselves, really. The biggest problem with that, is that we're missing out on all the things that were really meant for us when we have our blinders on so tight. That dream job, that we never expected, could be right around the corner. Or that perfect for you partner could be standing right next to you. The dream house, or ideal location to live. The list is endless. Sometimes we just have to get out of our own way long enough to realize that ninety-nine percent of it is right in front of us, we just have to be receptive to it.
Now, I understand, probably more than you realize, how this is easier said than done. We get hit with things along the way, that jostle us so much, that we second guess what direction to even go in now. It's like hitting a brick wall going a thousand miles an hour sometimes. It can be devastating. But, Imagine if.... Do yourself a favor and sit still for ten minutes. Sit with the thoughts of all the things your soul screams for. What does that look like to you? If you had everything you have ever wanted for yourself, what would that feel like? do it for ten minutes. Do it daily. Now, keep your eyes open. And tell me what you see. It may not happen right away, but I can guarantee you, it. will. happen.
