The Good, The Great, and The Awesome

I used to tell myself that bad things happen to bad people, but then bad things happened to me. Then I realigned that train of thought and I told myself  that bad things happen to all people. Now, I have fine tuned my train of thought even more to things just happen to everyone. "Good" and "bad" are our interpretations of what happens to us. Once you realize this you have power because you can consciously make every event in your life a "good thing". So now that you know the good are you ready to hear the great? 

I told you in my last post that I had lost my job. I also told you that The Universe pretty much told me to shut up and listen, and I have been doing it! Last night I was reading a book called "Science of Mind" by Ernest Holmes (a great read) and it was talking about the illusion of hope. The best way for me to explain it is to apply it to my situation. People tell me to be positive and I say something like "I am; a job will come my way. At least I hope it will...". That's doubt in disguise, and if you are doubting yourself you're doubting the power of God, The Universe, Higher Self, (insert belief here). You get the picture. The next thing I read about was about how you can't be passive in your thoughts, meditation, and prayers. So I closed the book, went upstairs, calmed my mind, and meditated. In my meditation I said that I am open to universal blessings. I told myself that an opportunity would come my way, and today it did. Someone emailed me saying that he saw my resume and asked me if I was interested in a job. I replied with a yes and had a phone interview about 20 minutes later. I have one more interview to tackle and then I may be employed again. I forgot to mention that this meditation took place about 12 hours before getting the email. That's a pretty quick turn around. Long story short all this positive talk stuff seems to really work. So let go of negativity if you've got it. Ready for the awesome?

I've already talked about the way we translate events that take place in our lives, and I'm choosing to translate getting fired as a good thing. I have been able to really bond with my son and I can tell he loves it. While I was working I was so caught up on work and other things that I can admit that my son wasn't getting the attention he deserved, but now things are better than ever! Life is good right now. I really don't have much to complain about.
