Completion
When your life is going smoothly, do you acknowledge it? When your relationships are inspiring and joyous, do you take the time to let those people know you are grateful for having them in your life? When you are aware of the fact that not only are you giving and receiving what you WANT out of life, but also what you NEED, do you take the time to pause and bask in that realization of goodness? Life will not always show up in such preferred ways. It will not always be smooth and joyous. But when it is, those are the moments when you can come home to yourself. You can embrace and comprehend the larger truths about your s/Self and Life. You can be renewed. You can heal. You can move to a new and more prosperous level of experience. Let yourself be complete and rest in the goodness before moving on to the next chapter and adventure.

My life is always smooth now, and yet old thought patterns look for ways in which it

I wonder if it isn't the life force wanting to branch out, create and multiply itself out of a base of fertile stability?
Well, sounds like you are in a good place! And that's good! lol. I think the message was a reminder for those that are still learning how to master learning and growing through joy. But even for those of us who have mastered it on some level, there will always come times of challenge and testing that allow us to use our new-found mastery and refine our abilities to learn and grow through joy. I'm not trying to avoid the challenges anymore. I see them as a natural part of life. I'm just not adding more unnecessary challenge or suffering to the mix! lol
ReplyDeleteAnd, Eve, I do think it is exactly as you said about the the life-force wanting to branch out from that fertile base of stability. Sometimes our periods of rest and appreciation may stand alone and be longer in duration. While at other times, the appreciation happens in the moment, even as we are off creating the structures and connections for our next wave of creations!
