Look closely. Everything that you see around was visualized in somebody else’s mind before it came to exist. Your mind, your power to imagine a better, more peaceful life for yourself and others, is a great gift of God.
Whenever you visualize a new step for yourself, an aspect of your life that you would like to be different, you are inviting God and the universe to collaborate in the growth of all beings.
Beauty, freedom, equality and joy, spring out from our ability to see the path towards something greater, towards a more inspiring way of living. Do you invite the universe to collaborate in yours and the planet’s well being? Are you inviting God to co-create the next step you take in your path towards greater goodness?
Try this meditation:
- As you breathe mindfully, in and out, witness as objectively as possible your thoughts in the moment. Evaluate kindly whether or not the voices in your head create a negative filter through which your sense of defeat is reinforced.
- Be open to the emotions. Stay present without judging, while evaluating the larger picture of your life.
- Look for the space in between breaths. Your journey is not shaped by triumph or defeat. Your journey is defined by your ability to provide life. Let God and love fill your moment.
- In the spirit of loving-kindness, moment by moment, see your love define your vision of growth and healing. In the stillness, let other voices go. Open your heart to the wisdom of your vision. See it through as you experience your co-creation of goodness in yourself and the world.
