Make the most of where you are

How you experience where you are is all about you.  If you do not like where you are, why not change the color of lenses in your glasses? Take a few minutes to reflect on what makes you tick.  Consider that you are doing the best you can where you are.  You create your expectations.  You also have the power to change them. Make the most of where you are.

Now, imagine you are a dish of food that blurs boundaries.  What are you?  How do you surprise yourself?  Why do you feel super juicy, savor, tangy, bitter, sweet, salty or emerge as your version of a mountain of food Everest? Remember that it is never truly a mountain you have to conquer, but the self-created fear within yourself.

Hi Liara .. sometimes it’s difficult to make the most of where we are .. but those times pass and that is the important thing to remember, time ‘heals’, things improve .. or we need to be patient working on ourselves as we move forward. I am now on the up, not out of the woods, but at least feeling distinctly more positive (fortunately I’m usually positive – I just need to think of others in a far worse state) .. we need to face our fears, and work round the molehills .. the mountains disappear .. it’s find the best way forward and realising life has so much to offer .. make the most of where I am .. yes!

Paige, consider the adjectives you would use to further clairfy that gravy. Some people might alternatively choose honey, ice cream or molasses. Other people have immediately thought of cod liver oil. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down:)

Hilary, you decide if something has to seem "hard to swallow." In truth, everything goes down as smoothly or awkwardly as you choose. We have reasons for creating every sensation, for opting to resist rather than accept and savor every moment.

Hi Liara ~ The title of this post made me smile yesterday :)

I've just moved to Aberdeen on our Joseph tour. It's very expensive here, due to the North Sea Oil Industry and hotel rooms are around £120 per night.....so I made enquiries and found a converted wash-house near the beach...except that the 'converted' part of the ad' was a 'reality' that existed in the owners mind....I could not find any evidence of 'conversion'....it was....it is.....a wash-house!

So I decided to stay as its only £100 per week....I have a deep sink....only cold water. A chair, a table and a put up bed. The stone floor slopes and I'm typing this at an angle....but I'm enjoying my stay. The sun is shining and it's peaceful....

henry, many people can relate to living in conditions with little or no heat as well as limited water. Some people complain about what they perceive to be missing. Others sense abundance in varied forms. To choose to make the most of where you are implies awakening the capacity to see blessings in all circumstances as you clearly do as it is.
