Our souls arrive to this physical plain as a blank page. We are essentially a clean slate. Our soul’s only agenda upon arrival is to learn lessons of love. Our souls have no predetermined path that we have to follow to learn these lessons. We can create ourselves as we go along. I was out with friends the other night and one of them said a person can never change. “Never”, I asked? “ Never”, he responded. Well, that’s harsh and I don’t believe it for a minute. I believe a person can do anything that they want to do despite any of the choices they have made in the past. Often times pain, hurt and shame prevent us from looking objectively at a person or ourselves. This prevents healing from taking place and thus seeing the changes that have occurred. When a person looks within and doesn’t like the things seen, change can take place on any level. This society is not very forgiving and due to this, our eyes are not as open to a person’s potential. I saw a quote the other day on a church billboard, “You make your choices because of who you think you are”. I am not sure of the message that the church was trying to convey, but to me it meant we limit the way we see ourselves. Being an accountant, an IT worker or a nurse doesn’t have to be the only way we define ourselves. Twenty years ago, I never would have guessed I would have had the interest in or courage to study the metaphysical. I believe if you have an interest in something and you put all of your efforts into it, you can accomplish your goals. I believe if you don’t like something about yourself, that you can recreate yourself. You can become the improved version the world needs to see. When we strive to be our best selves, not only are we praising God and healing our souls, we are helping others to see the limitless potential we all have. I want to share with you one of the most helpful things I took from Deepak Chopra’s book Quantum Healing. If you want to have a solution to a problem, picture the situation as already healed. So, for example, if you have a health issue, set your mind to believe it is already healed. Or if you don’t like a something about your job, see the issue as corrected and go about your day believing it. The power of your mind is endless. Thoughts can change your reality. One of my daughters suffers from a challenging, non-life threatening medical issue that has caused all us significant concern. Reading Deepak’s words were a God send for me. From that day on, I just saw her as healed. I found I dealt with her differently. I found myself smiling more when I looked at her instead of with constant concern. I also found I was more at peace with her situation.
Change your thoughts and you can change your life…
