Handling it?

 I am here; I am conscious; the world is unfolding in front of me; and I am going to handle it. 

Michael A. Singer

Do you remind yourself of that on a daily basis? I don't always.  Sometimes I get lost in the drama of this "little me" and I forget to remind myself that "I can handle this!" 

I sometimes forget to work with my thoughts.

Most of us, in fact, are indirectly working with our thoughts by trying to manipulate the outside world, and blaming others and things outside ourselves for those thoughts. We do ths instead of working directly with our thoughts by being aware of them, looking deeply into them, and reconstructing them etc...that is taking responsibility for our thoughts.  Most of us are projecting "me" onto the other person?

Singer reminds us that.... 

It is your mind...you can think any thought you want. 

Yet, what thoughts do we tend to think. If it is true that 95 % of our thoughts are negative...man are we in trouble. We expect Life to be a certain way and when it isn't we deem it as unfair...thus leading to a download of negative thinking...that we blame the world for. Hmm!

It is not suppose to be the way you want...it is suppose to be the way it is. 

We have this amazing Life and this amazing playground to live out that Life on.  Sure there are downs with the ups, challenges with the blessings etc...but Wow! Look where we are and what we have to experience!

How can you waste one minute of the time you are given to be here, not having a good old time? 

So, what do we do when we finally get that and decide to own and manage our thoughts? Some say we should become more spiritual.  "Spiritual", to me, is just a word that points to a better experience of living. 

The bottom line of spirituality: ..."I can handle it because it is the only sane thing to do". 

Spirituality is all about honoring and respecting reality.

All is well.
