Life Connects the Dots!
I woke up this morning and went for a run on the boardwalk in the beaches. As I was running I started to reflect back on the last few years. I remembered it was my dream to one day live on the water. I started to chuckle as what I was doing in the moment was running on the boardwalk looking at the sun rise on the water – wow! what a beautiful sight. I started to think about how the events in my life have been lining themselves up to have me live my dreams and how I have not been present to that. I started to see for myself how instead of seeing the gifts life presents I was seeing adversity, challenge, disparity. I started to realize that life has only ever given me what I have asked for. The thing is, I have not been being intentional about what I am asking and I have had an expectation. I have expected that what I ask for look a certain way. Now I think that is the kicker. Life is not necessarily going to deliver what we ask for the way we want it to look. The skill is to see that what you want is in what life is giving you and be grateful! Today I am grateful for my life. I live a life I love, I have a house I have always wanted, a loving husband, to cute dogs and a career that is looking the way I want it to look. My questions to you are: what are you asking for in life? And, do you see how you already have everything you want? If not consider let’s chat!
