Go Ahead Make Your Day!
In one of my recent meditations, my higher guidance took me to a place where all the things I wanted resided. It was a wonderful, magical place where all one’s wishes come true. As I viewed all the things that I wanted, I noticed that none of them were making their way to me, nor were they being held out of my reach. My higher guidance told me that they were here for my choosing, just like they had always been here for my choosing. When I decided to have them, they would come to me.
I was hesitant to grab up everything. What if someone else wanted or needed some of it? My higher guidance told me this was the room of my heart’s desires. It contained everything I ever wanted and will ever need. I need not worry about taking away from anyone else, because each person had access to their own room of their heart’s desires. They also informed me that my room would not satisfy nor fulfill anyone else, because others didn’t desire the same things as I did. This room was for me and only me. If I decided to leave something behind, it was my own choice. It was not restraint; it was not unselfish; it was merely a choice to live without. I did not need to make that choice.
I drew what I wanted toward me as if I were a magnet. As my desires came nearer, I felt grateful for their existence and guided them into my heart, bringing them home. As I came out of my meditation, I realized that this was an excellent metaphor for life. We are not being held back from the things we want. We are not handed them on a silver platter either. Everything that comes to us comes by choice. Every reaction to every situation is our choice. Anytime we say, “it’s not up to me”, that’s really saying, “I’m choosing to let someone else decide for me.”, which is still our choice.
If you find yourself in unhappy circumstances, whether it be a job or a relationship, review your choices. Notice you currently are working under the choice of hoping someone or something else changes in order for you to be happy. This is a decision to live waiting in misery. A decision for change works like magic and sets the forces of creation in a new direction. You could decide to find love in your current situation. You could decide to leave and start anew. You could decide to ask others to help you work towards a common goal of change. Review your possible decisions in your mind, trying them on like clothes and see which decision feels best. I can guarantee the decision to wait for someone else to change will not feel best; although it may make you feel the most safe. Safe isn’t making you happy. Love yourself enough to go into your room of heart’s desires and pick something! Claim it as your own. You don’t have to share, because each person can go into their own room and get one too. There is enough happiness to go around. Just choose.
When you hear yourself coming up with the arguments and excuses as to why deciding something different can’t work, stop and question them. The “I don’t want to hurt anyone or let anyone down” argument doesn’t hold much weight when put to the light. Expecting someone else to make you happy is hurting them by placing ridiculous demands upon their shoulders that they can never fulfill, and it hurts you by putting you in an endless holding pattern of misery. The argument of “I don’t want to make a mistake.” is also weak. No one makes a big decision without thoughtful consideration unless it feels so good they impulsively decide on the spot (which is a good thing). And the only way we learn is through our mistakes. To not want to make a mistake is to say, “I don’t want to get any wiser.” That just sounds stupid to me.
If you have been waiting a long time for things to change, it’s time to decide to get things moving. Change starts with you and your decision to do something different. Go ahead, make a decision. You may just find it’s the best one you ever made. It may just make your day.
