Ever found it tough to be where you are?
Ever been frustrated wanting to be somewhere and finding yourself here instead of there?
I don’t know about you, but I can be a little impatient with a desire for things to happen ‘now’.
I was reminded of the perfection of where we are today, via this affirmation, given to support a client earlier this year:
I am exactly where I am meant to be
I trust there is a greater plan in place
One of the ways I monitor and know my state of ease around ‘being’ is how I pull out of our drive. We live on a very busy main road with continual streams of traffic passing all day. It is a bit like running the gauntlet to get across the road.
When I can sit with ease knowing that a gap will open up, this is a ‘I’m trusting in a greater plan’ thought and action.
This hasn’t always been the case. I would be slightly on edge looking for the gap thinking no-one would ever let me out and wondering, should I go now? or now?
One day it dawned on me, A gap will always come. It may not be right now, or even within a minute or two. But a gap will always appear. I just have to wait for it. So I now breathe and wait, knowing that a gap will appear. I will not miss out. There will not be only one opportunity.
What in your life helps you to be okay with where you are?
What reminds you that there is a greater plan in place and that you won’t miss out?
Many blessings as we breathe and be, knowing we are exactly where we are meant to be, patiently alert to the opening that will appear.

Thanks for this Deb:)
What helps me to be ok with where I am? I guess just knowing that nothing is forever. Sadly that applies to both the wonderful things in life and the challenging things but anyway, it’s helped me make the most of the good moments and just be be with the bad…knowing it will pass.
What reminds me there’s a greater plan in place? I’m not always sure I do! Life just seems to happen and no matter what I do sometimes, it just keeps unfolding the way it wants to. I have control over the words I use when talking to myself (!) and when interacting with others, I have control over my behaviour – the way I conduct myself, but feel like I have no control over what comes my way – the situations I’m faced with. I can’t always see the sense, the purpose, the fairness of it and I’d go crazy if I tried to understand it! I’ve found its easier just to roll with it.
Make any sense?!
Absolutely makes sense. I have found for me the bigger plan is often not able to be understood with the logical, personal mind of the human self. The ability to surrender or roll can provide an opening for grace and spirit to flow into and from. I know for me this degree of surrender is one of the hardest skills or attributes to acquire and that I may not fully know or understand the sense or purpose at a conscious level this lifetime. The actions we do, the words and thoughts we have, seed in energies for those that follow us. A bit like planting the trees for future generations.
Never underestimate or dismiss the ripple or influence of our behaviour and presence. We are at a time in consciousness where we have a choice to stand for the light, harmony, right relationship or not. Do we create calm with responding to fear, hatred or sorrow with the same? To stand calmly in your power with compassion and strength as you do is a true gift to the world. x
