The Gift of Change

Too often you mistake attachment for love, or appreciation. 

You attach to a person, a job, a situation or even a worn article of clothing. 

If your life is perfect as it is and cannot possibly get any better, then, by all means, hold on to everything.

Of course, life on Earth is not designed that way. You are here to learn, grow and play. 

All three of these things involve change and release.

To learn, is to add new information and leave behind old, outdated ideas.

To grow is to stretch yourself, physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually. The change here is obvious and again, may mean leaving old thought patterns and behaviors behind.

To play is to explore, to delight in the world around you. To squeal at surprises and dance to the music of life. To play is to celebrate and enjoy the changes around you, and if you do it often enough, it inevitably leads to learning and growth.

Change is not the enemy. Change is the Angel, who holds a miracle in her hands. Her gift to you, if you choose to accept it. 

Do you? ~Silas

The Joke You Tell is On You

When you become angry or defensive because you are not "allowed" to use certain words or make certain comments, as someone will take offense, you only compound the problem. 

Direct your anger at making the world a better place, where it will not matter what race, level of physical or mental ability, or sexual orientation a person identifies with. 

Let the Earth become populated with people, rather than silly labels that separate your beautiful energy fields. When your energy fields unite, they are even more magnificent that you can comprehend. 

If you feel that someone is not working hard enough, then demonstrate hard work, rather than complain about them. If you disagree with someone, then fully research their facts and try to understand where they are coming from before calling them ugly names.

Name calling and labeling, say nothing about the person you are criticizing and everything about your fears and insecurities. 

Work on yourself and uncover your fears and always use kind, helpful words when speaking to yourself and others. 

One day, you will realize that the people, things, and ideas which have been separating you are of your own creation and you will laugh with us as you "get" the joke you have created.

Why not let the laughter start now? The Earth could use the vibrational lift! ~Silas

Yes! I Can Even!

Fairy A-musings:

Just another pre-Halloween weekend, walking through a hotel lobby wearing leather elven  armor next to Lady Death and a fallen Angel.
 

My new “normal” life allows me so much fun and creative freedom that I can’t imagine living any other way.

Yet, years ago, I would never have imagined this life. 

Back in those days, I used the word, “can’t” a lot. Can’t is the tombstone of the subject of the sentence. When you’ve said it enough your life becomes a graveyard of missed opportunities and lost dreams.

I’ve decided that while I’m alive, I am focusing on life. If I am unable to bury my “can’ts” I can, at least cage them and only feed them when they are being helpful such as “I can’t cross the street now,” (in front of the semi truck).

Instead, I will add some colorful new phrases to my vocabulary: “I haven’t tried that yet, I wonder what would happen if I did?” and “That’s just because no one ever has.” 

C-word be gone! You have no power here!

Now go before I drop a house on you!

On second thought, why waste a good house on something that doesn’t exist.

Strive to Thrive

It is a good thing to survive a disaster or difficult situation, but to label yourself as a "survivor" is a huge burden to carry.

To be a lifetime "survivor" invites disasters into your life.

Of course it does! As a "survivor" disasters are what you do. They are your life's work.

To survive is good. To life a life in survival mode is exhausting and unnecessary.

Strive to be a "thriver."

 If you survived a terrible sickness, then thrive in perfect health.

If you survived poverty, then thrive in prosperity and abundance.

Difficult situations are lessons. Once the lesson is learned, there is no need to repeat it.

Survive, learn, release and thrive, then maybe the next lesson will be fun and easy. ~Silas

Breaking Through

Have you been working to manifest a change in your life situation, only to be barraged with setbacks and problems?

Perhaps Spirit is not being cruel but showing you mercy. 

Is your energy vibrating in harmony with what you want? If it isn't then you will likely encounter the same problems that you are having now.

Spirit may want you to resolve them before moving on. You might even find things harder when you decide to make the shift. Spirit is simply, speeding up the process at your request.

Look deeper when you wish to break from your pouting.

What issues have you not yet dealt with?

Like a butterfly trapped in a cocoon that is too small, or a snake that is preparing to shed its skin, you may find change to be uncomfortable until you break through your limitations and find a place where you can be free to be the transformed being you desire. 

Don't give up hope. Know that struggles are a sign that things are working out. Look at them as things to be resolved rather than sabotage. 

Is your ego screaming, "No! No! It's not true!" as you read that last sentence? Then you are on the right track. Keep going. ~Silas

The Gift of Crisis

Often, you will find that in a crisis, you can do amazing things. 

When you have no choice, you easily prioritize what must be done, what should be done and what would be nice to do. 

You jump in and get it done, not stopping to over-think everything or hesitate. There is no worry about failure or making a fool of yourself. Things suddenly seem very black and white.

Your poor ego cannot get a word in edgewise to tell you you'll never succeed, because you are so focused on the tasks at hand.

So....what is the result? You accomplish a great deal and do it to the best of your ability. You do not stop until you have finished it all or run out of time.

If you applied  "crisis" thinking (minus the stress) to meeting your goals, you would be successful at anything you attempt. 

This is why Spirit sends you crisis situations from time to time. It helps you to hone skills that you otherwise would not have a chance to exercise. To prepare you for great things to come.

You do not have to wait until things "get real" to practice acting in a crisis. 

Give yourself the gift of a crisis. Pretend company's coming or you have a deadline to meet. Do not stress, just work as though you have no choice. Then focus on your goals and do your best.

In between your crisis practice sessions, make sure to get some rest. You cannot meet your goals and deadlines if your eyelids are drooping and you are barely able to get off the couch.

You will soon find fewer crises entering your life as you will no longer need the practice. ~Silas             

Ask and Trust

Imagine you have a very special housekeeper.

She works for free and only wants to make you happy. Her references are impeccable and you have seen great examples of her work at your friend's homes.

Now she works for you. 

You give her your cleaning requests and tell her she may begin working.

Hours later you return and nothing has been done. 

You moan and complain, "She is willing to work for everyone but me! Why am I so unlucky?"

Finally, after hours of pouting, you decide to talk to her. You go to the closet, in which you have locked her, and ask her why she hasn't cleaned the house.

Hmmmmmmm.  Do you now see the problem?

This is an efficient, competent employee who wants to give you what you want, and you told her to stop before she could even begin working.

"Ridiculous!"You say? "I would never do that!" 

Have you ever told the Universe that you want money, then started to form a plan on how that would happen? The Universe listens to your thoughts as well as spoken and written words and cannot tell the difference.

Trust your housekeeper. Ask for what you want. Specify how you want to feel when you get it, then let go and allow her to do her work. 

You may find that you get something even better than you ever could have imagined. ~Silas
