Card from Gaian Tarot by Joanna Powell Colbert
Today I started out writing about a completely different
subject for my weekly blog but I decided to change it. Yesterday’s card of the day, Gaia The World,
really got me thinking a lot more about it so I wanted to expand on it a bit
more because I think the message is important.
I realize that the message of things falling into place with
The World card doesn’t resonate with everyone but sometimes it’s not always
readily visible. Sometimes, we have to
look at our lives a lot more closely and take stock of what we do have and
appreciate that, rather than hoping and wishing that things were better.
The thing is, The World card can always be applied whether we want to believe it or not. Is your family healthy? Do you have a roof over your head? Do you have enough food to eat? There are plenty of people in this world who
have none of these things and yet they can find happiness in their lives. Just the simple fact that they woke up makes
for a successful day.
It’s easy to get wrapped up in our life issues and feel the
“whoa is me” syndrome. Nothing is
perfect and let’s be honest, it’s hard to feel successful when you have no idea
how you are going to make your mortgage or how you are going to feed your kids,
but things always have a tendency of working out. So why let our worries take over our
days? Simple. We are human, but that doesn’t mean that its
healthy for us to do or that we can’t change it. We hear all of the time that we should be
grateful for what we do have in life and the more grateful we are the more
great things that we attract. We see the
meme’s all the time and everyone clicks the “like” button or makes comments,
but does everyone really thank the Universe, or God, or whomever on a daily
basis? Probably not. We see the meme’s, we are grateful for the
day and then life takes over and we forget to be grateful; until we get another
reminder.
We should be grateful every day, no matter what is going on
in our lives. If we aren’t grateful, our
negativity attracts more negativity and before we know it we end up in one
great big crap storm. There is something
to celebrate every day of our lives.
Every single one. Even in the
middle of a crap storm. Sometimes it
takes a bit to find it but even if its just “I got out of bed”, celebrate
it. If you had a great cup of coffee or
tea to start out your day and then rest of the day turned bad, hold onto
the fact that you had a great cuppa.
Hold onto the good of the day rather than the bad.
I’m not saying anything that you haven’t heard before so
just consider it a reminder and try to be grateful a little longer than the
last time you were reminded. You may find that you are a much happier person more often than not. That’s what
I’m trying to do.
Have a blessed week!
