Sometimes, as I face dilemmas in my life, I get far too much into my own mind. I think, and think, and think some more about a subject. At times, I am able to come up with things that I feel are positive. But many times, I do nothing more than to scare and even confuse myself. However, when I am in the right space, the truth is that my thoughts do not change the constant Love force that is around and surrounding me.
I must remember that I have the option to look at my situations from a place of fear, or to look at them through the eyes of Love. Fear would tell me that I am not good enough, there is not enough to go around, or I cannot have the things I desire. It would focus on and look at what I do not have, what I could lose, or what I believe is missing with a added emphasis on the inability to get what I need. It would further look at the circumstances around me to find proof of my dilemmas so as to reinforce my fears and increase my anxiety. This, I believe, is the way that many of us operate.
Love, on the other hand, would remind me that all that I could ever want is already given and available for me. It would tell me that, in Truth, I am Love, forever connected to that Higher Power whose Will for me is everything good. It would tell me to choose peace in place of fear and to remember Who I am as I gently return to the feeling of connectedness that is always there at any given moment.
It matters not what dilemma we are facing in our lives. We have a choice in the moment of ‘now’ to look towards the darker side of the situation, i.e. fear, or to turn our attention towards the Love that is our Truth. It is constantly and patiently waiting for us to place our faith in It’s Power to handle any difficulty we might be facing in our lives.
We are not required to walk through life alone. Surrender and give your concerns to the power that knows all of the avenues for bringing about a resolution…a resolution that surpasses any of the solutions you could possibly manage on your own. Have faith and turn your attention towards Love.
