CREATE – Page 5 – Daily Muse

In this time of fast foods, bigger better and faster I started to wonder what role immediate gratification has played. You all know what I’m referring to and it’s interesting to look at in terms of creating change in your life.

We want the newest styles, gadgets & toys, better cars and technology that works at the touch of a button. There is an expectation that the economy can be ‘fixed’ overnight. If we join a WEIGHT LOSS program we expect like magic to lose the excess pounds by tomorrow morning yet if we see something that looks really yummy we eat it to gratify our taste buds on the spot.

People wait in line to be the first ones to get that new cool item using credit cards without a thought about paying for it in the future. Think on that for a moment. If you really want something you go out and get it. OK there might be a passing thought that crosses your mind but by golly you do it anyway!

Our society has indeed become one of immediate gratification whether it is to make us feel better or to take our attention off our day-to-day troubles. Certainly there are things that will truly make life easier and we all want those but the challenge comes in when we not only want those things but we want them TODAY….NOW.

We have gotten used to getting what we want when we want it yet in a not so distant past, we had to make our own clothes and grow our own food. We waited patiently for the seeds we planted to grow. There is no possible way to rush a seedlings growth to HARVEST. We were all responsible for the essentials we needed. To be sure I’m not saying we should go back to that time! The point is we had no choice but to be patient and trust the process. 🙂

The reason I bring this up is for you to take a moment to look at what you expect from your meditation practice and journey into awareness. Are you seeking immediate gratification? Do you meditate for a few days then give up or move on to the next thing because you don’t notice monumental changes?

In spirit there is no time or space. Things can and do happen instantly! That’s the good news. 🙂 The next part is bringing those spiritual changes into the body and making it real. Although everything begins with your ‘thoughts’ and focus the physical body exists in time and space. It takes time for those changes to manifest on the physical plane.

Becoming conscious of where your energy is and bringing YOU back to YOU is the first step toward creating the change that you seek. It is a continual process in which you grow and expand your awareness. Honor and trust that a process is indeed taking place whether you see it instantly or not.

On any journey it might be best to check immediate gratification at the door. If you question big changes are actually taking place notice the small details. Know that even the smallest change now can shape your future in ways you can’t even begin to imagine!….Shine Your Light!~Debbie

Wouldn’t it be great if we all had a team of writers working on the script of our lives? They would write, edit and re-write as needed to make it interesting. All of our interactions would be exactly as written so you would know not only how to respond but how the others will respond to you.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was an award-winning director and producer? They would tell you where to stand, what to do and even HOW to say your lines so they are most effective.

Your dialogue and actions would be written BEFORE you receive the script but as with every masterfully written manuscript, once in motion, there are things that don’t work or fit into the scene. This causes an on the spot change. Sometimes even the best laid plans don’t work as well as one would think.

Clearly life would be easier if it came with the perfect script but of course this is not the case. We all must walk our journey and although we have a vision, at times we must consider a re-write or re-direction on the spot.

Sometimes our choices are not thought out well the instant we need to make them and so we learn to make our way more delicately next time. There is no script or handbook for life especially when emotions take over. With no direction, rehearsal or ‘re-write’ we must live with our choices.

Good or bad, right or wrong there are times when what we do or say becomes less of a choice and more a reaction. Being human is just that, being human! Having emotions and feelings are two of our greatest gifts!

Consider for a moment forgiving yourself for those times when your humanity took over! It is OK to venture from the script, try something new and YES make a mistake! This is all part of being human.

If there is a script in place who wrote it? Was it you? It is indeed possible that the path you are following is someone else’s script! Your well-meaning parents (or someone else) could have written it or if you wrote it, check to see if it is based on someone else’s novel.

You cannot live an authentic life and be the best YOU if you are following someone else’s information no matter how well-meaning it is. No one knows how to be the best you except YOU!

If any aspect of your life feels scripted or controlled, take it as a clear sign that someone other than you may be producing & directing! If the script you have in hand doesn’t feel right it might be time for a re-write or perhaps a brand new script altogether! 🙂

To be sure, it is not easy to play yourself! Especially if you don’t know who that self is! You may have lived by someone else’s script or direction for so long that your ‘role’ has become your truth.

The most rewarding role you play in this lifetime is one of being the best YOU. If you are not happy with the way things are going, maybe it’s time to change direction!

The production and direction of your life comes from finding the passion that burns within. Discover and awaken to that passion and BE the best YOU living your own script.~Shine Your Light Debbie

A special shout out and thanks to a dear friend who repeatedly reminds me to be the best ME I can be. 🙂
