The
Thanksgiving feast that we all got to enjoy is the perfect example of how each
of us is distinctly different, sampling this and that, tasting it all and
choosing what we like and dislike; giving
thanks silently or aloud and asking
for more of our favorites, indulging in what pleases us the most. We look forward to this meal served once a
year anticipating the GOODness. Our
tastes ever-changing we discover new food that we actually enjoy surprised by
the shifts. As children, we were forced
to eat whatever was put on our plate, placed before us by the adults who got to
choose for us overseeing our lives. But
now, we get to choose, we get to experiment and explore. It is easy to lock our Self into old beliefs
not willing to try a food that we hated as a child. Being willing to come into present time and
acknowledge we are not who we used to be,
we often find we enjoy that which we used to pass on.
There
is a magic, a truly miraculous way of living when we stay open and consciously
enter the moments of our life asking: What do I like NOW? What tastes good NOW? What makes me say THANK YOU! More Please. To know with all of us that we have
choices, that we get to choose, that our choices create our experiences, our
choices create our life, we take responsibility, we grow up at a whole other level, stepping into the days connected
to our Self, our needs, our wants and what makes us celebrate – truly excited
by this sacred dance we are privileged to participate in. We taste the GOODness of life as never before
and inspire others to not settle, to show up at the table and choose what
delights their senses and makes them come alive.
The
invitation this day and this lifetime is to observe your Self with curiosity,
humor and wonder. Show up fully engaged
living the answers to What do I like
NOW? What tastes good NOW? What makes me say THANK YOU! More
Please. Let go of the shoulds rooted in shame and guilt, a
sense of unworthiness that keep you from all the yummy surprises life has to
offer you right here and now. Take
charge of your life and tune in to the abundance that is ever-flowing through
you and all life. Spit out the crap you
have been fed over the years that starves you, that leaves you less than
JOY-filled. Make no mistake: The greatest mistake of our life is settling,
disconnecting from our truest desires and longings, buying into beliefs that
keep the miracles we are at bay that keep us from a life that leaves us
clutching our hearts in awe that we get to live this magnificent life as us
saying THANK YOU! More Please all day
long.
