Welcome to Monday!
Monday mornings can often feel like a heavy weight, dragging us back into the routine. Yet, embedded within this new dawn is an extraordinary opportunity for growth. Today, we’re invited to shift our perspective, to see challenges not as obstacles, but as springboards for expansion.
Our teacher for this week is Byron Katie, and inspired by her wisdom, let’s explore how to shift our perspective and embrace a week filled with expansion rather than contraction.
“What you’re believing in the moment creates your suffering or your happiness.” – Byron Katie
“Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don’t have to like it… it’s just easier if you do.” – Byron Katie
“Until you can see everything in the world as your friend, your work is not done.” – Byron Katie
We have a choice in how we view our circumstances. The story I tell myself about what is happening right now, completely determines either my happiness or my suffering. The words I choose to speak to myself, create the reality that my body experiences.
Life’s challenges are not personal attacks, they come with an invitation to step forward and open up to the learning experience that life offers, and every experience brings opportunity. Every experience brings possibilities for growth if we will see them.
Look into the week ahead and recognize that you have a choice in how you see your circumstances.
We’re starting off this week with these clear and empowering affirmations:
- I choose to believe that everything is happening FOR me and that when I surrender and ask for clarity I’ll see the opportunity in every situation.
- I choose to believe that I live in a friendly universe, not hostile. And everything I encounter can lead to my growth.
Everything we experience offers us one of two paths: “Will I shut-down and shrink from this experience?” … OR… “Will I open-up and expand through this experience?”
I choose EXPANSION!
Have a great week!
