Challenge 25

"If your bored...you're boring!"  This keeps ringing in my ears lately and beckoning me to wake from the sleep of my sometimes routine life.  It also brings to mind other things like... "If you judge, you are judged!"  I find that when I live in the spaces that are easily offended and righteous or overly concerned with video games or the latest movie, that I am unhappy and unloving.  I would love to claim that I am a supreme being who never lives in these fearful places but I would be lying.  I would be full of pride and boastful and thus lonely and unhappy yet again.  To be loved... is to be loving.  "Be, Do, Have... Be love, Do loving things, Have love".  The most beautiful thing about love and happiness is that it is in full supply and surrounds you at all times.  It is never ending and yours for the taking.  The thing to remember is that living in a space that is less and fearful will never lead to happiness or love.  We are all worthy..."You are worthy because you were born!"  an Oprah quote from this week's last show.
So, my challenge to me and to you this week is to create a Gratitude Journal if you don't already have one.  If you do then write down 10 extra things each day that you are grateful for this week.  Purposefully put yourself in a state of gratitude and love by choosing to see what is already here in this space.  See what is fun and lively, what is happy and what is working.  When you feel the need to judge another, take a breathe and a moment to see what gratitude you can find in that person or space and refocus your attention.  Be, Do, Have...
Be Grateful, Do Grateful and loving things, Have happiness, fun and love.
