It has been many a moon since we did our daily readings. But, I made a commitment at the mixer that I would bring them back for the community and apparently we have a lot to discuss. So, let's get to it. 💜
As many of you already know, discovery and learning is an essential component in growth. If we aren't learning, we aren't growing. If we aren't growing, we aren't living. We become stagnant. We get stuck. I personally have felt stuck lately, and I'm betting at least a handful of you have as well. Whether that's stuck in your job, or your finances or somewhere along your personal journeys. We've stopped learning and consequently, stopped growing. We've sputtered out because we've stopped discovering ways to help us grow.
Or so we think. To every problem there is undoubtedly a solution. If only we're willing to find it. Our solution here is to change our perception of the "problem". Have we really stopped or is this just a break that we needed to regroup and readjust? Have we stopped because we don't see a way out or a way around? Whatever the reasoning you have in your mind for why you can't, you need to change your perception of it. Instead of looking at the problem and only seeing the problem, you need to look at it as just another step on the path. You've taken a break from learning. But, that break is just that. The who's, why's, and what's aren't what's stopping us. That's just how we perceive the situation. We, instead, need to look at them from the perspective that they are all showing us signs and directions to the next part of our journey. Perception is so extremely important. If we perceive a problem as just that, it will always be JUST THAT. But if we look at that problem and ask "what is this teaching me?" Then we grow. We keep moving.
When we truly change our perceptions, we change our energy. Even a subtle energy shift, after too long of sitting in negativity, will feel like we've moved a mountain. Small changes lead to large improvements. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and your journey isn't meant to be completed in one either. Incremental, conscious decisions, lead to full scale change and ultimately, a happier existence.
But, we can't get stuck on problems of the past, or the uncertainty of the future. All we can do is focus on the here and now. If we live our lives one day at a time, we give ourselves the opportunity to build happiness in all of the little moments. And when our time has come to go back to the earth, we won't look back filled with regrets or missed opportunities. We will find all the lessons we've learned, all of the ways we got to see the world, in both it's ugliness and beauty. We will have grown in mind, body and spirit, and we will be able to say that we truly lived.
Your goal today is to learn just one new thing. Take a singular problem that you're currently facing and change your perception of it. Look at the situation and ask yourself what it is that this is meant to teach you. Once you have that, you can change it in your mind from a problem to a learning opportunity. I guarantee that when you do that, you will feel that energy shift, and will be able to enjoy your day just a little bit better. 💜
