Heidi’s Happiness

Maybe happiness is this: not feeling like you should be elsewhere,
doing something else, being someone else.
Isaac Asimov

While sitting at a coffee shop today, I was journaling about where I’m at in my faith of the Universe. I was prompted from the book I’m reading by Gabrielle Bernstein, “The Universe Has Your Back”. While writing out my thoughts the realization of the stubbornness and tenacity that I have held so tight was actually keeping me from allowing in the abundance.

From a very young age, my stubbornness has served me in numerous ways, not always in a positive sense. I realize now, my thinking was, if I allow myself to be open, rather than trying to control things, that it’s not copping out, it’s not giving in, it’s the realization that if I do not open myself up that I limit my experience. I was holding myself back from really being able to move forward.

This is a work in progress for me. When I find myself feeling stuck, I take a moment and realize I am pushing for things to move, instead of allowing the flow to move me forward. At times, I don’t have a lot of patience either. So, I find myself wanting things to move faster than they are. However, when I sit and hear between the silence, I am reminded that the movement forward is exactly at the pace that I can handle and am ready for.

What in your life is keeping you from moving forward? What if you shift your thinking to “I allow the flow to move through me and therefore I move forward”. Set the intention, feel the flow, you’ll be amazed of the miracles that can happen in your life!
