Greetings, Dear Creator,

Here we are again, Universe – just you and me.  This time-space thing can get pretty tricky; sitting in one place, in stillness – yet on a planet spinning like a top, at the same time shooting through space like a rocket.  Each second; a single tick of the second hand – what if you take the time to feel and experience it?  Though, at the same time, you ask yourself where the time has gone; when did we grow up, and get this old?

It’s all perspective, Dear Universe, and My Guides help remind me to look around and change my perspective; because, there’s value in seeing things from different viewpoints.  The thing is, it’s also helpful to realize we only hold one perspective at a time.  It’s like feeling joy and being scared.  There are many times when I can have thoughts for both in my head.  But, I can only feel one in any given moment.

For example, if I’m going on a trip somewhere I’ve never been; I will be excited about the adventure; but, I will also consider the risks and dangers that are possible.  When I focus on the dangers, I can get apprehensive and concerned.  If I shift my thinking, I can trigger the joy, excitement, and anticipation of the adventure.

I won’t feel the joy and fear at exactly the same time.  So, for me, even though being aware of my concerns can help me make prudent choices, if I get stuck there, I will spiral down to fear.  Therefore, I choose to remind myself of the excitement and adventure, to hold the Momentum of Joy for My Adventures!

Dear Guides, we talk about it all the time – choice, choice, choice!  We get to choose our thoughts, and our thoughts are our business – a way to pick our attitude and our direction.

What do you hope for yourself, Dear One?  What would you wish for, if you had a fairy godmother who had wish-granting powers?

I wonder about that, for myself.  I’ve wondered for quite a while.

Initial wishes, like “Win the Lottery!”  But, why?  So I could have anything I desire!  But, what do I desire?  — Hmm.

Well, I would have freedom from bills, freedom from debt.  But that’s something I have some control of, through the choices I make.  And, to make choices that continue debt, and then worry and fear the consequences, is “my business” that I can change through my choices.  I don’t need a wish for that, if I’m serious about wanting that freedom.

And, so it goes.  Most anything I would wish for, I ask myself what choices am I make in my life, right now, to create and invite that in.

So, I’ve stopped looking at it as responsibility and a grim duty – to “work” toward my dreams.  (It still creeps into my thinking, though – especially the stuff that scares me.)  The way I think of it now; I have the power to grant my own wishes.  It’s not work; it’s a delight to choose the thoughts that keep me on the path to my deepest dreams.

For now, my wishes have been answered.  I have Guides helping me to see my best self, and to listen to the Song in My Heart.  I have been granted a wish for something that I had all along – the power to choose how I see and believe the World, and the power to choose again, every moment.

 

A prompt:

What wishes would you ask your magical, wish-granting self for?

Make a short list of your wishes.

Pick one, and ask yourself why you want that wish, and keep asking – drill down to the essence of your wish, to what it is you really want.

 

Light, Love, and Laughter, Dear Universe!
