“Into each life a little rain must fall.” I am not sure who said that, but lately a lot of rain has been falling. Granted I live on the rainy side of the Big Island. As we had day after day of rain I realized once again how everything is relative. I got tired of being tired of all the rain. After all, sun in and of it self can’t make me happy any more than rain can make me miserable. At a profound level there is no out there. So it comes back to asking myself, “What do I want to create? What do I want to experience?”

I suppose I could have focused on changing the weather, but instead I just changed what I was telling myself. I also realized the rain helped me become more aware of how much I enjoyed working in the yard. Yard work stopped being a chore and instead became a pleasure pastime. Amazing how powerful our inner dialog is!

We are limitless beings yet we come to a physical plane where we experience limitations. Perhaps those limitations can help us become aware of how much we enjoy being creative, limitless beings. We are so creative we can even create the experience of being limited.

Everything in life is an opportunity or an invitation to connect with the essence of who and what we really are – our spirit – or to connect with our filter system. The choice is ours moment by moment. Awareness, transformation and intent are incredibly powerful tools that will set us free if we choose to use them.

And of course without the rain there wouldn’t be beautiful rainbows.

With love,
Susan

I the past, I noticed that I would find a routine that works, I’d start feeling better and then I’d stop doing it. My thought was. “What’s up with that? Why do I stop doing the very thing that makes my life better? “ Eventually I realized the reason was, in a word – fear. I can make choices based on love that are expansive or make choices based on fear that are limiting.

We are all one, yet we successfully and continually ‘prove’ to ourselves that we are separate. We make choices based on fear while we tell ourselves we want result that require us to go beyond the limitations of our fear. We often do what is most familiar and comfortable.

Change demands that we step beyond our comfort zone. In heating they talk about a comfort zone. Once a thermostat is set it will allow the temperature to rise and fall a predetermined amount. It is referred to as a comfort zone because the fluctuation doesn’t affect the occupants’ comfort.

Our filter system also creates a comfort zone. As long as we stay within that zone we don’t have to question any of our beliefs, agreements or assumptions. As long as they remain in place, we will feel comfortable and we will also continue to get the same results.

I have found that it helps to notice the parameters of my filter system and consciously choose to go beyond it. My fear stopped me from doing the things that helped me go beyond my limiting thinking so I learned to turn toward my fear and walk through it. Now, when I find something that works and want to stop doing it I redouble my efforts knowing that freedom lies on the other side.

With love,
Susan
