I’m Growing Like a Weed
May 20th, 2010
Greeting Friends!
This morning I’ve got growth on the brain. I can feel myself growing.
I had to chuckle at myself. Every time I have an epiphany or a moment of real personal growth, I feel SOO elated. I feel high. I feel like I am part of the most amazing bio-spirit-mechanism and it makes me feel incredibly powerful and yet completely humbled all at the same time. It makes my skin buzz and tingle like it’s filled with electricity and it makes a giant lump appear in the back of my throat as I literally choke on the emotion/love/gratitude/acceptance/awe/depth/eternalness that wells inside of me.
It makes me feel so, connected. So, alive. I want to shout it from the rooftops! The people in my life who listen to my endless blathering on about personal and Spiritual growth must have mental mute buttons. Poor people. LOL
I remember when it first began happening though. I remember that elated high that sent me running to the groups and forums I was a member of to tell all of my online, like-minded friends about the amazing epiphany I just had. It was amazing to learn that my thoughts and ideas and imaginings and intentions were actually, literally, in a way that I could NOT explain, affecting the solid world around me. When I think about seeing something, there it is looking at me.
And I remember that the more it happened, the more I focused upon the growth. But there’s the funny thing. The more I focused on the growth… the lesson… the learning… the more it happened. The faster it happened.
So this is what I want to say today. If you are uncomfortable in your life, you need to grow. You will not grow unless you WANT to grow. Sometimes there are truths to be understood before we can grow so you have to be willing to be honest with yourself. Be honest about how you feel. But whatever is making you uncomfortable, look at it and ask yourself, “What is this situation here to show me? Where can I grow?”
Often your ego will try to get in the way and tell you that you may end up looking like a fool or that you need to defend your position. But let me tell you this…. the growth feeeeeeeeels so good. It really does. It feels wonderful to shake off the old and stretch into the new. It feels better to grow than it does to convince someone else that I’m “right.”
My affirmation today will be~ My world is beautiful and it’s a fantastic day!
