Perspective. It’s a beautiful gift but can usually only be gathered retrospectively. In the moment we can get caught up in the things we don’t have. The things we want but feel we will never get or even just the ‘negative’ aspects of our lives that we wish weren’t so.
However when we focus on the negative, or the things that bring us down, quite often they continue occurring with increased ferocity. When we are able to focus on the things we have that we are thankful for in our lives, those things that bring us joy and fulfilment they bloom. The quote above perfectly captures this mentality. That in order to feel true unadulterated joy we must first seek out and celebrate the things we adore now.
This idea draws on aspects of the law of attraction. Being that the things we draw focus on will somehow keep occurring. Like manifesting your dream job, when we put our energy into the negative or the things that bring us down, that is sure to continue. Breaking out of this cycle of the belief of living in lack can be difficult. But the most simple and foolproof way to do so is by finding present moment awareness. Looking to develop that skill of basking in the moment and taking in all that you are having the privilege of seeing and experiencing.
So the next time you find yourself lusting after that ‘next thing’ that will make your life exponentially better. Take a moment to think “will this choice, item or experience really improve my life, or will it distract me from my true nature?”
We hope you have a beautiful and abundant week ahead of you!
Much Love,
