Lately I'm having tons of those moments when my close friends do something I knew they were going to do, or they say something I was thinking about at that same instant.
Our tendency is to say "that is so weird! I was JUST thinking about that!" or "I knew you were going to do that." Or one I said yesterday, "I knew you already knew that."
It's not weird of course... I think it's the way it should be when you're really aware and connected to that good, pure energy of life. Some call it GOD, some call it THE UNIVERSE. You know what I'm talking about.
I'm taking it as a good sign that I'm really tuned in right now.
This "being tuned in" occurs when you've seriously sought out and achieved your happiness, the steps of which are:
1. Figuring out what it is you TRULY want. Not what you should want, not what someone of the image you would like to have would want, but what the true essence of YOU, the unique expression of God, with your unique desires, really wants.
2. Having faith that the Universe operates from the foundation of well-being for all, and what you want will come to you if you keep focused positive thoughts towards the objects of your pure desires. Happiness, Joy, Health, and Well-Being are all our natural state of being. Suffering is NOT what we are designed for.
[Of course, we all do suffer in some way at some point, but this is a message to us to pay attention to why it is we've gone awry--and correct our course]
So connectivity is one side effect of the happiness I have right now that I created through faith in #2. It's not always "easy" to maintain a positive, faithful attitude, because, in general, our society does not operate with this mindset. Personally, it took a lot of deprogramming for me to get my head around these concepts. It also takes practice. I have over 5 years of practice and with each subsequent year, it is getting easier and easier to maintain a happy state, because it becomes habit. But trust me, it works. Every good thing I have in my life right now has come to me through conscious decisions to be aware of my thoughts on these subjects, and keep them positive. I have had to make a very conscious effort to maintain faith and rid myself of worry and stress (change in attitude precedes the things that come to you, and not the other way around--you DO have the power to change your thoughts even before your situation has changed). I have seen so many more people apply these principles and meet with tremendous successes as well :)
So, Happy Friday, and I'm wishing you each and every piece of happiness you desire :)
