Lesson 166: There Are Many Other Ways...

“There are many other ways to discuss the ineffable; choose whatever story, metaphor, parable, science, example is right for you. There is no incorrect path to the Divine.”

— Sara Wiseman

The one thing that people should know is that to connect with the Divine is your own personal path and there is no right or wrong in doing it. Today I am to tell myself a story about my consciousness expanding and this can be difficult as it can be indescribable. I can go in and trust the Divine to provide me the story I need to tell.

The day I was awakened, everything I thought I knew was thrown out the window. Like everyone else, we all want to find a purpose in life or know what the greater meaning of life actually is. When I had reached a certain point where I didn’t know the point in living, the Universe showed me that there was. It was at that point where I understood that there was something bigger than me. I didn’t have to know exactly what higher power out there was, all I knew is that the Universe answered my cry and there I was awakened to a better purpose. I knew at that point, I needed to explore a spiritual path. Didn’t know exactly what that was but I figured it would present itself when it did. I didn’t know what I was doing and that was irrelevant because as it turns out, I would meet the people I would learn from when I was supposed to. I’ve opened myself to the possibilities. I have faced my truths and tested to my limits, walking away strong. I learn and grow because I understand what life is about. I walk the walk and I am a vessel that will teach others.

Day 166 - A Year to Clear - Mind Your Own Business

Lesson 166: Mind Your Own Business

When we become more aware of detaching ourselves from thoughts and things that no longer serve us, that can only bring good into our lives. That’s what this course is all about right? Clearing to make space in our lives. Today we are to think about what the world would be like if we compassionately minded our own business and allowing others to mind theirs.

As I think about this lesson, I think most people do mind their own business but to think about it with compassion is a different task. I think having the understanding that everyone has a story and this influences how they are as people – this gives us a chance to apply that compassion. If we apply compassion in minding our own business, it means we allow others to work through whatever they are going through, but also allows us to be forgiving in recognising how people act the way they do.

I think this is what it means to compassionately mind my own business. There is a level forgiveness and understanding we need to take in order to spread goodness. Sometimes we need to lead the change. It would take practise of course, though I feel like with patience and understanding, this allows compassion in us to grow.
