Test drive

As we get our new stuff (see previous blog), there comes a time when it's time test drive it. Whether it be a new outfit, car, attitude, response, or belief system, we have life to help us put it to the test.

New stuff

We buy stuff. It's new. We love it. We use it. We grow. We outgrow. We no longer love it. Our eye catches a glimpse of a shiny new object. We buy it. It's new. We love it.

Whether we talk about actual physical stuff, or ideas, or patterns, whatever else, when the old stops working for us, we crave something new, different, exciting. Something that will now serve our present, instead of who we were in the past. Maybe that's why they call gifts "presents."

More itching

You know that discomfort that is so consuming that you just want to be anywhere except where it is, but it's in/on/around you so there is no where to go? Those are moments when we have lots of motivation to change, most likely spurred on by our big S self. So maybe the discomfort would lessen if we learned our lesson?

Theres always something

Ain't that the truth? And because there's always something, sometimes we have to choose not to do some of those somethings, in order to do some of other things.

Or we can stop doing and start being.

For awhile anyway, at least until the next some or other thing.

Accepting

When we truly embrace that we indeed create our own reality, and that means everything- no exceptions - and we actually accept that the reality we are living was created by us, consciously or unconsciously, and we can accept it all without beating ourselves up, or judging, then we start to pave the way for accepting the really groovy things that we create as well. In other words, the "pain" provides a training ground which can help us build our capacity to accept the beyond awesomeness that is available to us.
