How Often Do You Go There?

How often do you go there? How often do you look at your life and admit that you deserve better or that you deserve more? Is it just when something you perceive as negative is going on? And how often is that? What about when things are good or just even...do you still feel that they could be better?

How often do you realize the sheer miracle that you represent? A basic understanding of the way humans reproduce reveals that you are quite literally one in a million. Then you couple that with the fact that you, the you of you, whatever it is that is here now reading this and that animates your living body and is gone when you are dead, showed up as a human being. No one knows how all of that stuff really works but your parents didn't choose you so it stands to reason that if anything, you chose them! And, if you came here as a human you could have just as easily come as a flower or a dog or cat and chose a nice home for yourself with nice owners and so on. Of course you did none of that and instead you chose to show up as you.

What all was involved with that? How much desire and will and energy does it take to actually incarnate here? Who knows? Whatever it took, I can tell you that once you did it, you were only getting started with the work. You showed up in your mom's belly and lived a blissful existence for nearly a year; maybe taking a breather after all the energy you spent incarnating. Then you were born and you spent a year or two figuring out that you were separate from your mom and that you are actually you! You also had to figure out gravity and and how to get around and how to eat and to meet people and other forms of life. You learned how to read and write and how to climb a tree. You skint your knees and broke bones and learned about the apparent finality of life through the death of loved ones. You did some things that resulted in spankings or being grounded or, later on, in breaking your heart and you did all of these things because you had to.

You had to do all of those things, whether they were pleasant or not, because you were doing the best you could with the information you had at the time. Would you do it exactly the same way now with the information you currently have? Of course not. And thankfully so, because you had to do all of those things exactly the way you did them in order to be who you are right now. And you are perfect, just the way you are. You recognizing, realizing, and accepting this truth is the key that unlocks the door to a world where you have the life you desire and deserve. Then you must simply walk through the door.

Have a great day!
