On getting frustrated
Original art by Designs in Floral
I found myself wishing for something yesterday and again this morning. I was wishing why can't this special thing just show up in my life? Actually the circumstances I wish for have been a dream for quite some time and I've patiently been optimistic that it will eventually come my way. But the last day or so has found me getting a little frustrated, impatient and just ever-so slightly demoralised and negatively thinking that it's 'not for me' and what's the use?
So on reflection at my current state, rather than the absence of my 'dream-come-true' (the object of my wish is not important here), thinking negatively didn't help anyone achieve anything except failure and more circumstances that will bring despondency. And who am I to dictate when something will show up for me? There are happenings out there in the big wide world that I cannot know anything about, but which will most certainly have a bearing on my own life. We just do not know who will knock on our door, who will walk into our life, what amazing thing will transpire, today, tomorrow or whenever.
My frustration has been over the delay in achieving something that I consider important and was beginning to believe that it won't show. But heck, how much in my life has one got already to be grateful for?! Just hang on a wee minute, I think to myself; my partner is all I could wish for in so many ways; my work is just excellent fun and rewarding, I have two hands to play my violin, to do photography, to write blogs; I get the opportunity to do what I want at weekends; I have a shirt on my back; a roof over my head; good health prevails; my family is loving and supportive, and ......and; life is not all bad! I thought about a long list of things that I am grateful for right now and started to feel a whole lot better.
Now I am in a more positive frame of mind, I am likely to attract towards me more of what creates my positive outlook and sense of contentment; what we think is pretty much what we get. And to repeat my favourite quote from Einstein, "Your imagination is the preview to life's coming attractions." So I quit the 'wishing' as this attitude comes from a position of 'lack', only attracting more 'lack'.
I'm back on track now, not worrying about the 'How' it's going to work out, not 'wishing' any more but focusing on the reality of my dream as a visualisation while staying positive and happy with my current circumstances. Like attracts like.
Oh Yeah! :-)
