Everything and everyone are here because we asked for them

Happy Monday everyone.

Another start to a work week. Another start to taking the steps to the next stage of our lives. Living in the present moment. With gratitude, abandon and love.

Opening ourselves to all that is and all that is possible for us.

Recognizing that everyone and everything that come our way are for our benefit. That there is no such thing as luck but rather being prepared for whatever comes our way even if it is not what we intended or expected. Even if it shows up in a person that makes us cringe. We are cringing because they are awakening something inside us that we have tried to suppress. Something we need to address about ourselves. Not them, but us.

Feel those cues today. Let them flow through us and see where they land in our mind, body and spirit. Then ask ourselves, after quiet contemplation, what am I meant to do with this feeling? How am I meant to learn from this person? From this situation? Then release that thought to the Universe and allow the answer to come back to us when it is ready.

At some point we all have to let go and let it happen. It’s not when we least expect it as I have said on many occasions, it is when we free ourselves to have no expectations, that everything happens. When we surrender to the bountifulness of the Universe, we allow the flow of life to carry us with it without resisting. Without trying to swim upstream.

When we do, we learn to accept we are always in the right place at the right time. Always meeting the people we are meant to meet. The situations we are meant to deal with.

Always seeing what we are projecting through that which we attract.

When we want situations that are more rewarding to us, we must be grateful for everything and everyone that cross our path because we asked for them to cross our path.

And when we learn to express that gratitude, we see there is no reason to hold rigid to our beliefs. Instead we discover it is more liberating to be flexible, to be open. To be willing to see all that is there for us. That every person, situation and encounter has a purpose in our lives because we made the connection with them on a deeply subconscious level. Either to end something about ourselves or to begin something about ourselves. Remembering always everything that happens, happens for us; not to us.

Each moment is exactly where we are meant to be, asked to be.

And when we accept and surrender, we realise the people and situations we are meant to encounter to help us to learn, to grow, to explore are appearing in our lives all the time. Jolting us to the truth of what we want. Of who we truly are.

So let’s take this lesson for this Monday morning with gratitude and be grateful for every person, every situation, every feeling that we encounter today because we asked for them. And if we are patient, receptive and accepting of where we find ourselves, letting go of expectation, we will understand why we are here - right now. Why we are in the place we are in. Why we have crossed paths with the people we cross. We asked for them.

With gratitude on a Monday morning despite the chilliness in the air because I know I asked to be here. Namaste.
