The Universe connects us all...

OMG... I am amazed how the universe connects every one and everything. Universe? we all have our concept. Universe is just the balancing of energies. Our energies are thoughts, actions, beliefs. I believe that whatever we send into the universe it returns to us in some way or another.

However, sometimes we are so synchronized with it that things just return as we are thinking about it. Or our thoughts materialize almost instantly! I believe that comes as we are more and more entuned with our innerselves. As we progress to be at peace and harmony with ourselves; we are more and more nsync with the universe. This, today, has encouraged me to keep on focusing on my inner growth.

So, what happened? 2 separate incidents
1.Yesterday, my friends and I decided on finally starting a book club. One of my favorite books is A Course in Miracles. Last year, I bought some copies because that was supposed to be the beginning of our book club. However, as many plans; they stayed in the ¨we should¨ stage. So, now that we were really starting our little club I was short of one book. And this morning I get an email from a friend I had lent the book, saying she was ready to return it! I hadnt spoken to this friend since I lent her the book a long time ago. This is what I call being nsync with the universe!
2.Today I wanted to talk about the terrible habit of thinking and using the IF ONLY and the dangers of the IF word. My very own first comment received talks about this!!! Therefore, tomorrow I will definetely address this issue.

This happenings just make me much more aware on the power of my thoughts and actions. All my thoughts and actions have an effect on what I am living today. If I want things to change; I have to change. No going around it! I must work everyday on myself.

Now, I must always keep in mind that the universe cannot create or destroy energy; but there is a Higher Power that can. What do I mean by this? I used to be a creature that believed in life as a pure science. Doing one thing will guarantee results, completely wrong!!! Life is just misterious and inexplicable. After, I realized that : doing didnt guaranteed results, I stopped doing completely. Extremes are not good. We must keep doing, not for the sake of the results, but because it is what our real self wants to do.

We must want to change not because of what we will gain from the outside world, but for what we will gain from within. I am not always at peace with myself, but when I am(mostly after praying, sharing with a friend, meditating) it does not matter what the world looks like I am just so content.

I have chosen thursdays to be me day. First I will do something for myself. I went for a hair treatment. Then I went to my spiritual group meeting. Thursdays is a receiving day for me. We cannot always give and give; we have to learn to receive. And once we decide to accept and extend our arms, how magnificent it is. It is not selfish at all. On the contrary, I finally learned that I cannot give what I do not have. So, first I must receive to be able to give.

Challenge of the day: I will learn to receive a compliment, a smile, a hug from others, myself or the universe. Be aware of receiving, we always have the opportunities, but thinking we do not deserve it we have even lost the ability to recognize this true blessings.
