Actualization
Whatever you do, Beloved, don't do it because you're dissatisfied.
Don't base your life on getting away from, running away from, fighting against what you dislike.
Find what moves you, draws you, pulls you out of your shell. Find what allows the wellspring of gratitude to flow ceaselessly in your heart, and do that.
The cycle of aversion, of choices based on dissatisfaction, is endless. It is a ceaseless, fruitless succession of malaise.
Behind one dissatisfying element lies another, and beyond that, another. There will always be an inexhaustible supply of things to dislike and avoid.
If, however, you make choices based on gratitude, on passion and purpose, the potential for fruitful, fulfilling actualization which multiplies exponentially becomes truly limitless.
When you build from a place of positivity, and dedication to the process, it becomes possible to be perpetually satisfied with, grateful for, and present with what is, while passionately creating what can be.
When you stop focusing on what you want to get away from and is realizing what you can move toward, on what you can embrace, a world of ecstatic possibility and pure joyful presence unfolds.
Breathe deep, Beloved.
What are you embracing today?
