Emotions Sitting here with tears in my eyes as I write this on my laptop, tears yes of happiness and also of sadness.
Have you ever, ever read a book that you got so into, so involved with the characters that you did not want it to end, ever. It got to where I would only read it over my meal, at Subway every day, the better to stretch it out. Until, I got to the end and then I just had to finish it this morning. For the last chapter I cried like a baby with an emotion that actually in a way shocked me. It is not unusual for me to be emotional like this for there are times even in an event like a football or basketball game, a commercial or a book I get emotional. It does not have to be a "Spiritual" book or event it can be anything that rings a bell from deep within.
This time it was Tribute by Nora Roberts. Yes, yes, yes I read Nora Roberts. I have for several years now as I find them at garage yard sales, flea markets as I can get to them. Of course Salvation Army and Goodwill as well as any thrift store or used book store I may find, or yes, our local library. Well actually not my local one as the one I go to in Redondo Beach, CA is not only awesome, it is also on the bus line.
Let me recommend to you Nora Roberts for in her books come through a love for her art and the knowledge that it is a passion for her work that one knows she loves what she is doing. Not only that she is either a great researcher which I believe her to be but she is an extremely metaphysical person. For in her writings there is a thread through all of them of a love of life as well as a knowledge of Universal principles. When I read one of her books and this is a standalone novel. Many times the ones I read are part of a series and I as a rule will not start the series unless I have all of them available. Of course with the Internet here my bookstore is only as far away as my keyboard. So I have one that is book one and I really just realized I can begin it anytime as I can just go to one of m! y book s ites and order the other two or reserve it at the library.
Emotions are so good for us as they serve many functions in our life. The main one is to serve as a meter as to where we are in manifestation of anything we desire for the more emotion we focus on anything the faster it manifests whether it is that new house, car or relationship. Maybe it is a raise or even a new opportunity. The more emotion we focus on the happiness of the opportunity whatever it may be the sooner it will appear. Also if for some reason it appears the opportunity went to someone else who we felt did not deserve it and we vented anger even if we did it silently with no one knowing it but us. While outwardly we smiled and did all the things to appear happy for them as we inwardly simmered and boiled anger for this person that 'stole' our opportunity. As we do this one must realize that the more emotion is placed into it that not only will we not get another opportunity like this we may never get another one until we can correct our emotions.
That is why so many times we see an event and one person while smiling appears to go downhill afterwards and never appears to get back on track until they do their forgiveness work starting with themselves as it always does. The thing to remember is that if it is our opportunity we cannot lose it and if it is not ours we can not get it without stealing it and if we do that it will not last as it will eventually be lost, usually sooner than later.
If on the other hand we appear to have lost an opportunity we, of course, feel disappointment. It is only to be expected to feel the disappointment. However, even feeling disappoint knowing this must not have been OURS we proceed to congratulate the person receiving the opportunity with happiness and gratitude in our heart know OURS is coming. The thing is to be genuinely happy for the person receiving it as we continue working ! toward O UR opportunity for it WILL come. Never quitting is the key for history is filled with people that stopped short of the goal to only find out later that with just a little more faith with persistence the goal would have been theirs.
That is why I will never stop loving and believing in YOU for I never want YOU to stop loving and Believing in ME for the goal is just ahead and I am so close that I know it is mine sooner or later. If not this time then the next or the next or when mine is there I will receive. Blessings to all
