My body decided I needed to rest
two weeks ago and I was in bed with the flu for the good part of a day.
Apparently I didn’t bother listening to my body because I spent another day
this week in bed with bronchitis due to fatigue. With all I have to do this
week for the holidays I was lying there thinking, “WTF?!?”
Now, before you start
hyperventilating, you DO know what that means in the metaphysical world in
which I live, don’t you? Actually, it has two meanings, neither of which you
are probably thinking about right now.
Whenever we are faced with a
challenge the first meaning can translate to, “What’s The Fear?” What fear-based thoughts or lack
consciousness makes us think we have to buy into stinking thinking in our life?
What fear has caused us to become unbalanced and seemingly unaware of the
Divine Nature within?
The second, equally impactful
meaning begs yet another question: “Where’s The Faith?” If we truly
believe we are one with the Universe and that the power of God is our power,
then how do we get ourselves into sticky situations?
It’s not easy living in a state
of being with everyone around you when the jerk coming toward you in the
shopping center parking lot slips into the place for which you were waiting.
Nor is it easy to experience physical problems. But here’s the good news about
any problem, physical or otherwise.
While we’re in these human forms
pain is a given. Without the warning system of pain we’d easily cut off our
fingers or burn ourselves on the stove. Suffering, however, is optional, even
though some of us at times seem to be making a career of it. We must learn from
the pain to avoid it in the future. That means getting sick and tired of being
sick and tired.
Whatever is bugging you about
your life this week try considering one of the “WTF” meanings above and see how
your attitude about the situation transforms. It may take some work. It may
mean you have to change your attitude. But at least you’ll have the
satisfaction of knowing that you’re in control of your life and emotions.
In Spirit, Truth and Playfulness,
Terry
