Anything is Possible

Is there something out there that you truly want? Something you've been dreaming about for a long time but hasn't come to fruition? Are you confused and resigned to the fact that something that you truly want just won't happen for you? I know I've felt that way. But, there is a way out, and it all depends on whether or not you open your eyes to what is available to you.

There was a time when I was a victim of my own defeatist attitude. I was absolutely certain that the only luck I had was bad luck. Nothing ever seemed to work out, or, if it did, it was short-lived. Oh sure, I still have "bad days", but, the difference is purely in my attitude. Once I got out of myself and saw all the opportunities the universe presented to me, I could no longer blame my misfortunes on "bad luck" but on my own unwillingness to see what was clearly in front of me! Today, when bad days arise, I step back, take a look at how I'm feeling, and then remember that everything that I need is already here. It's just a matter of whether or not I choose to utilize the tools.

Case in point. The last few days, I have been in a funk. Focusing on what I don't have instead of what I do have, and what I can achieve. Once I opened my eyes, I saw that I have wonderful things happening in my life! I have great friends who are willing to help me, abundant resources that help me contribute to this blog, and opportunities that arise every day, as long as I am open to them. I can't tell you how many awesome people I have met simply by allowing it to happen. And, here's the kicker: all of them have helped me without even knowing that they have!

In my moment of clarity I remembered to be grateful. I have wonderful friends. I have a wonderful family. I have a wonderful dog. That alone helped lift my spirits. And, I remembered an old saying: "There once was a man who complained that he had no shoes until he met a man who had no feet". My period of sulking was over. I talked to a friend, I spent time with my dog, and talked to someone who inspired me to keep going with what I've been doing and even offered to help me. I got my answers, which led to some peace of mind, followed by inspiration.

Nothing happens in this world by mistake. It is all a manifestation of our thoughts. When I'm focused on the negative, more negative comes into my life. When I'm focused on the positive, more positive things happen. It's that simple! I've had to retrain my brain to remember the good, and learn from the bad. It's all a learning experience.

I'm feeling abundant! I thank goodness for all those who continue to be a part of my life, and will continue to allow others into my life. I hope to be of service to all of you, as all of you have been to me.

Continue to think positively! Believe it! Good things will come to you.

Have a wonderful day!

Arlene
