5 Tips to see life differently

It is common to feel restless in a particular situation, to desire change but to hesitate taking any action.  Watch what happens as you reflect on five tips to see life in a new light;

1) Notice your language- listen to yourself. Be aware if you use words like 'try, maybe, attempt' and others that express doubt.  Be aware of how you express anger and frustration.  Each word reinforcing negative emotions holds you back.

2) Change your attitude -allow yourself to find blessings in your current situation.  Start with one.  Identify opportunities for life lessons; patience, empathy, understanding, love. 

3) Reinforce the positive - smile and laugh more.  Allow yourself to experience more joy in life, wherever you are.  

4) Shift focus- rather than seeing your life from the ego perspective, shift to see things from a soulful point of view.  That is, recognize the bigger picture, how everything is to be appreciated.

5) Recognize everything is a mirror- be aware that how you respond to all you encounter is a reflection of how you feel about your true being. Imagine everything is an invitation to love equally and unconditionally.  See beyond the judgment of the conditioned ego.  Underneath the illusions, all is love expressing love.

Realize why you are here

Realize why you are here.  In the heart, feel you exist to be truly helpful.  There is no need to worry about what to say or what to do because you are always divinely directed.  The highest being, call it Holy Spirit, Source, God or whatever, it arises not always as a voice, but as an inspiration, intuition, or a feeling.

You can have a feeling 'something' is going to happen and not know what it is.   This thing, reveals itself, all with perfect timing.  It can speak through another person to whom you truly listen. Spirit reaches you in dreams, whispers in the wind as you walk in nature, shows up when you least expect it.  Simply be open. 

You may be asking what does this mean for you.  The more the mind sees through and lets go of attachment to beliefs, the freer the mind is from blocks that prevent it from hearing Spirit.  This can be described as the 'call of the wild'.  Smile. Go with it.

Recognize Spirit does not have to evolve, or else it would not be perfect.  You, as perfect love, only ever speak to yourself in different forms.  No matter how complicated life seems, you only have two choices, to love or fear, and only one of them is real.  Only one exists.  No-one else.  It only seems to be so.  The conscious mind sees separation in bodies and forms yet, its all illusion. The unconscious is like an iceberg that knows what exists beyond surface appearances.  What is all-encompassing is real and what is not perfectly whole is unreal.

The way you experience and feel about yourself is determined by how you look and feel about the apparent external world.  May the revelations continue and infinite trust arise.  See things as they are: immortal, invulnerable, untouchable by this world.

6 Steps to greater clarity

It is always possible to open to see oneself and the world as never before. Everything you notice and create for yourself offers lessons for the soul.   Follow six steps to greater clarity:

1) Look for good in or love everything without holding judgement

2) Grow aware of critical opinions that remain in your thoughts

3) Fill consciousness with reverence and respect for all life to awaken dormant forces and access deeper insights within

4) Engage in selfless acts without thought of reciprocity

5) See fellow beings and creatures differently than before

6) Surrender less to impressions of the outer world & develop an active inner life

Imagine no plan exists

It is commonly taught that devising a strategy, setting goals or plans is the way to live. At some stage, it may make sense.

Yet, consider the possibility that living a purposeful life has less to do with your efforts to control outcomes and more to do with responding as higher consciousness to what unfolds.  Discover that you throw all you encounter at yourself to remind you to love.

Imagine for a moment, that no set plan exists for the journey you are on.  You can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone.  No limits exist except those you create and believe.  In the game of life, the object is to love everything equally and unconditionally.  Only then does it grow clear you are love itself reflecting back.  Call it Zen, Tao or no-thing.  Its always here in everything.

Embrace self-reliance

Notice the world around you is giving you signs that all you have come to rely on outside yourself is unreliable. Patterns in the weather, in economies, in geology, in human behaviour, no longer exist as you once thought. In fact, all you are taught to believe is systematically revealing its not what it seems.  

How you delegate authority, how you earn and where you spend money, is changing based on changing values and priorities.  One perspective is that people are growing more conscious of how they give their power away and how this can be reclaimed.  A shift in awareness or consciousness is triggering other shifts.

Amidst all the curve balls that you do not control, you have the choice to love and accept all that is happening or to resist, disagree and be in conflict with it.  You have the choice to notice the sources of your food, the choice to be more self-sufficient and healthier.  You have the choice of where to live, how to live, and how to spend your time.  Recognize what you have done to this point matters less that what you do right now. Be willing to recognize what does not resonate or feel right.  Let go of attachments.  It is always possible to find the silver lining.
