Getting Back To The Source
It’s been a very stressful few months for me financially. Attempts to manifest my wealth has been an Epic Fail. I’ve been depressed and confused at what has transpired. It felt like all my efforts have been done in vain.
However, today I read a chapter in Dr Wayne Dyer’s 2008 book, ‘Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life.’ There’s a paragraph in there that certainly helped me put things in perspective:
The more you pursue desires, the more they’ll elude you. Try letting life come to you and begin to notice the clues that what you crave is on its way. You’re in a constant state of receiving because of the ceaseless generosity of the eternal Tao. The air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, the sunshine that warms you, the nutrients that keep your body alive, and even the thoughts that fill your mind are all gifts from the eternal Tao. Stay appreciative of all that you receive, knowing that it flows from an all-providing Source. Stop the chase and become a witness – soothe your demanding habits by refusing to continue running after more. By letting go, you let God; and even more significantly, you become more like God and less like the ego, with its lifetime practice of Edging God Out.
Certainly I had forgotten about this and that’s what has gotten my “success” over the past two years. I realize I just need to accept “what is” and continue to help others without thinking about what I want.
