That was a completely unknown fact to me, but it brightened my today's outlook...that we are half through the (my opinion) grey days of winter! Wheeee - daffodils, Grand Slam Tennis and sunshine till 8:00 PM coming up!
There. Proof that upgrade your attitude, upgrade your problem works. It still amazes me how wee the solution to all our problems can be when any perceived problem appears so large.
My favorite solution: All of our problems can be solved by spiritual principles.
I suspect most initial resistance to that solution is with the word "spiritual." Until we are brought to a change of thinking, from believing that spiritual means religion (and we say "No") to not necessarily religion so maybe, we are married to our reasoning mind.
Comes the day when we must face the possibility that our reasoning mind is the source of all our woes.
It matters not how well educated we are or are not, how on-target our intuition usually is, how hip, slick and cool we believe ourself to be...to fully realize it is our rational mind that births our perceptions, and our perceptions are the source of our truth leaves only ourself alone to praise or to blame. To rely on. Uh-oh.
Ah, here comes a Higher Power to save our day! When our go-to has become spiritual in nature, our perceptions become spiritually based...and any solution then lies in spiritual growth.
Refuse that go-to though, and inner resistance looms large, gaining purchase through our refusal to change our mind...or, more like, our fear of opening our mind.
To again quote Rohr today: ...don’t clench your fists. Open your hands. Your open hands, open eyes, and open heart will prepare the way for new gains, not just new thoughts, but new ways of thinking.
New ways of thinking: Resist not, welcome. Pray thank you for everything.
Thank you.
