You can't get there from here!

It seems to me a natural part of life is to be want to be somewhere, arrive and not long after want to be somewhere else. Now Abraham/Hicks calls this contrast. Everything in life at some point is what has been asked for; as we have stated before, either consciously or unconsciously. So when we arrive at where we have asked to be there is some kind of reaction to where we are. Either we are happy in the moment to be here or we definitely know we want to be somewhere else. So when we know we want to be somewhere else this is the contrast. This is when we know we no longer fully enjoy where we are and it is a natural part of existence to move on from 'here' to 'there'.

Now Abraham/Hicks says "You can't get there from here", and what that means to me is when I have decided I want to change where I am because I am no longer enjoying the 'here', either a job, a living situation, a relationship, a friendship or any number of situations, I can't get to 'there' until I change the feelings I have developed over being 'here'. So we have established it is a perfectly natural state for a human to decide that a situation no longer serves us any more, we aren't enjoy or relating to the situations we find ourselves in and sometimes we are feeling 'unhappy' about where we are. Ready to move on, well we have to change how we experience 'here', we have to be feeling better about moving on without resisting where we are right now. And just like going from here to there, steps are involved in that choice. Something as simple as I am tired and I want to go home to bed means you have to take the steps to get to bed, from the lounge to the bathroom, from bathroom to bedroom, put on pajamas, make the bed. You get the messages, some steps need to be taken to get from 'here' to 'there'.

So making where we are wrong may be ok for an initial reaction but at some stage one of the steps that may need to be taken is to feel good about where you are going, knowing that it is natural to move on from where you are and at some point feeling appreciation for the 'here' that got you to decide you now want to be 'there'. Yes new choices have to be made, change is inevitable and aligning yourself with your new choice is the best way to set the universe into motion for you to receive your new set of circumstances. Feeling some form of appreciation for where you are is very powerful and puts you instantly in alignment to where you want to be. It may take some time to emotionally get yourself into a state of appreciation. Sometimes the feeling of anger about where you are needs to turn into revenge, then revenge will need to turn into hope, then into optomism and then you may be ready to appreciate the circumstances that lead you to being ready for the change that is about to happen.

Knowing that change is the only constant in life. Growth is inevitable, we will outgrow people, places and circumstances; this is a perfectly natural human experience. Yes grieving a loss may be part of the steps that need to be taken. We are beings that have a life force flowing though us and if we don't heed the call that comes from within, that is when the life force feels dead, we have no energy to make changes in our life. We are always moving toward something better, that is inevitable. It's when we feel the fear of change and give it too much attention; allow the fear to stop us from moving forward, now that is when the life force within us feels like it has died.

We are training ourselves to move with the bigger part of ourselves, to connect with our 'source' and this takes effort and focus. There are no short cuts to the focus that will lead us to our hearts desires, we need to be aware of what we are feeling. At some point this effort becomes effortless, you find yourself feeling better a lot of the time; you see yourself unflappable; you no longer have the urge to change others in your life; you are seeing the 'good' things in life outweigh the so called 'bad'.

Never loose heart you are closer than you realise! You are loved by many whether you hear their voices or see their angelic faces or feel there hugs, they are there cheering you on when you do something as little as lift your head up and smile. Love and blessings on you all and your journey to be a delicious, loving being!

Does everything have a purpose?

Life's challenges, do they have a purpose? Well for me it is going back to the idea of beliefs and how they support me in life, or a thought, or an idea about life that no longer serves me, and I am ready to let go of it.

So yes I believe everything in life has a purpose, but it is the purpose that I put on it, not something obscure that is happening to me; that has some meaning but I have no idea what it is. I believe I create my reality, this belief serves me in being in some kind of control in my life. Not the traditional sense of control but a sense of empowerment around what happens in my life. If I am the creator of my reality through my beliefs, thoughts and actions, then I am not a victim and this is where I can control how I view what is happening in my life, either changing my thoughts or beliefs to create a change in my circumstances. Sometimes an action needs to be taken when I have some clarity around 'the purpose' of this event.

I like to believe the purpose for certain circumstances in my life is for me to grow as a being. To expand my awareness of self, to see myself as more rather than less, which is how we can at times view ourselves in relationship to life's challenges. At these times of great challenge it is often hard to see the purpose of such events and see 'I' have created this situation to see myself as more. So in these times I personally need lots of reminds of who I really am. I need to examine my thoughts and reactions to the contrast in my life. I spend time in quiet contemplation, I listen to the teachings of Abraham/Hicks and Eckhart Tolle; this all helps me feel my way into some clarity around my challenging situation and helps me take some expansive action. What I mean by expansive action is perhaps acting differently to how I have in the past. For example I am wanting to live on my own now that my flat mate is moving out, I don't have a clear path to this experience; I have an ad in the paper and I am going to act from place of abundance, not a place of needing someone to help pay the rent. I am going to communicate to people who ring up from an empowered space of what I want from a flat mate, not like I need you to rent my room what do you want. For me this is the purpose of what has 'happened'. For me to value myself in relationship to a future flat mate, because guess what, that is the vibration I am going to have to come from if I want to be able to afford to live on my own. I am going to have to feel abundant, feel self value, feel empowered. That is the purpose I am assigning to an experience that challenges my circumstances of what could appear to be 'lack' of a room mate.
