“I’d like what she’s having” is a common response when we see something we desire to have for ourselves reflected in another. What happens next is interesting… some of us go on to ask “What choice am I not making here that would give me everything I desire?” and then joyfully make the choice to change or create whatever is required.
Many more of us expect the person with the ‘thing’ we desire to deliver it to us in 10 seconds or less on a silver platter without changing anything inside of us, and preferably without charging us anything either! I’ve started to see this as a fantasy… or maybe an insanity!! The sparrow does not expect to wake up tomorrow as a peacock!
We don’t stop to look at what it took for this person to be or have this energy we so desire… we don’t stop to consider that their ‘overnight success’ may have taken lifetimes to create… we don’t stop to consider that we might just have to get real with ourselves and really look at what we are being or contributing (or not!) which would allow this magic to show up for us in our individual way!
Personally I find the bliss is in the journey… it’s in the moments of discovery where you see something you’ve never seen before… it’s in the sweet spots where you get to rest and relax into the vista before climbing the next hill… it’s in the moments of satisfaction where you know you just wouldn’t be here if you didn’t make those choices that made little sense at the time but felt ‘oh so right’… it’s in the sense of self you cultivate that nothing and no-one can ever take from you… this gentle unfurling of our peacock feathers offers us an irreplaceable wisdom.
When we give ourselves recognition for our journey we unleash an inner joy in ‘doing what it takes’ that no silver platter could ever deliver.
Giving up the fantasies and insanities and instead choosing to ‘do what it takes’ mostly means we need to BE it first. We need to get real with ourselves and BE the essence of what we desire. Funny how easily it shows up when we BE!
What can we choose to BE that would deliver all of this (and then some!!) with ease, joy and abundance?
