All the Things We Want

Ever find yourself wishing for, wanting, desiring... love, encouragement, support, kindness, sweetness, inspiration, romance, faith, someone to stand by you, someone to bring you joy, someone to help you make your dreams come true, someone to keep you from falling, someone to give you strength when you are weak, someone to see the best in you, someone to believe in you...

All those things we want from other people - those are the things we have to give ourselves. It's no use saying, "yes, but..." The end of the sentence is that you must give those things to yourself first, before anyone else is even able to give them to you.

Love doesn't come from outside. You plant it within, you water it, nurture it, tend and care for it, and it grows and sprouts and blossoms and blooms and that which blooms within, blooms without. That support, kindness, joy...whatever it is on the list, plant those seeds inside yourself first. Nurture them,love them and help them to grow so that they can also manifest in your physical realm.

We think we want all these things, but we have to be tuned in to the frequency of the energy of them. You can lament that there's no love in your life all you want, all the while dissing the entire human race and the opposite sex most of all - and there is just no way that the frequency of love can exist in yours. You can think you want kindness, but if your frequency isn't tuned in to kindness you won't be able to recognize it, or you'll mistrust it and push it away.

We sit and lament and whine and complain that things aren't the way we want them to be, but the crux of the problem is that we have to create them within ourselves first. There is no prosperity that can live in poverty consciousness, there is no love that can thrive amongst hatred, there is no joy that can survive in anger. Change your frequency by learning to love yourself, learning to get really present, learning to drop your anger, learning infinite gratitude...

We are already the perfect reflection of God, just we don't ever remember. We think we're lacking, we think we don't have all these things, we think we're not loved, or supported, or that there is no joy in our lives, and yet, it's all within, neatly packed away in seed packets and waiting for our tender care.

So make a choice today to stop seeking outside yourself for that for which you yearn. For everything you wish you could have from others, find it in yourself and nurture it. For everything you think you are lacking, plant those seeds within and watch it grow.

Blessings.
