Life is what you make it

Life can throw a bigger curveball than expected.  It is important that one keeps a positive attitude and outlook during this time.  when a person believes that he or she has already achieved his or her goals then things will flow more smoothly.  The negative aspects of a situation will not seem so terrible as they might look at first glance.

The smaller things are what one needs to remember when faced with hard times.  Health mobility, and thoughts almost always are taken for granted by most people.  If someone has the ability to get up in the morning without an issue, then  he or she can physically make things better for him or herself.  Thoughts are what dictates what a person does on a day-to-day basis.  If someone chooses thoughts that allow him or her to be adaptable,  then a positive outcome will be reached.  The more a person thinks about the struggle he or she is facing the more difficult it will become. whatever one puts out into the world will come back to him or her later on down the road.  This is why showing gratitude for what one has is important. The more a person is happy with what he or she does have, then the faster other desired goods will come into one's life. 

Life is made up of whatever one focuses on the most.  Options are always available to everyone, but a lot of them are not taken into consideration due to the fear of things not working out.  The options that are passed up could be the best way to change one's situation.  The key is to be open to anything that presents itself and things just might go in the desired direction.

Evolution of My Spiritual Journey

It has been almost nine months since I became aware of my spiritual awakening.  As stated in my previous post, I suffered a few bouts of sleep paralysis back in April.  I was visited by what seemed to be an evil spirit.  It told me to stop studying astrology.  This incident is what truly kick started my spiritual journey.  At this point in time, I did not understand how deep the rabbit hole went. 

During May of this year, I started to meditate quite regularly using traditional methods.  This helped me heal my body quite a bit.  I did not suffer small stress related illnesses like I used to before I started this practice.  I began to have lucid dreams to varying degrees.  I was scared as all hell the first time one of these occurred.  Eventually I got used to them over time.

Going to my job in the call center every day became rather tough.  I began to have this feeling inside that I was meant for something more.  I felt a strong need to understand myself and the universe on a deeper level.  I could not do things by the “numbers” anymore.  I did not interact an authentic way with most of the people I spoke to throughout the day anyway, so I felt like I was not doing much of anything. 

In August of this year, I started to feel some kind of strange energy in my hands.  The feeling was somewhat similar to becoming numb only with a less intense sensation.  In other words the physical sensation is not as heavy as a body that has gone asleep due to awkward positioning.  This feeling had a faster flow.  I came to understand this feeling as my energy signal.  The energy within me tends to get more intense when put my hands together to make orbs to absorb negative energy. 

My hearing also has sharpened over time.  I can hear the cat outside from halfway across the house.  I can hear a high pitched ringing in my ears twenty four hours of everyday.  When a room is completely silent, I can hear the ringing without any issues at all.  This is not because my ears were ruined by listening to loud music.  Ringing in one’s ear due to music is a sign that an individual went passed the sound threshold that he or she could handle.  The ringing in my case is most likely due to an increased sense of perception.  In other words, my ears can now pick up frequencies beyond the average hearing range.      

I hope that my spiritual awareness continues to grow in the future.  Maybe I will be able to use these traits to help people one day.  For now I will just have to wait and see what happens. 

Little Things Do Matter

Life sometimes teaches that the little things in life do matter.  This can be seen in everyday occurrences.  People can either choose to see circumstances and daily events however they want to. The good in life is always there, but one has to be receptive to receiving it.

I use the UIber cell phone car service quite often.  After the driver pulls up to my place, he or she  usually tries to help me get in his or her vehicle.   These people always want to put my walker in the trunk, but they are clueless how to fold the apparatus so that it will fit. I then show the drivers how everything works, and we both have a laugh.

During the actual ride, the drivers will ask about my disability.  Some think that I have the condition known as Multiple Sclerosis, but I tell them that I have Cerebral Palsy.  I also give a short detailed explanation of how my disability affects me on a day to day basis.  The drivers are always impressed with  how high functioning I seem to be.  They also tell me that I have a great attitude for someone with my condition. 

In some instances, these people will tell a story about a troubling time in their lives as well.  One lady that drove to me to a local diner in the neighborhood suffered blindness due to high blood pressure during pregnancy.  She went completely blind for six months.  The doctors thought that she would never recover.  A miracle somehow transpired, and the woman regained her sight.  This person once again sees things without any major issues. 

As long as a person keeps trying to go for the things he or she wants in life, then the possibilities are endless.  If I let my disability dictate what I could or could not do, then my life would feel very difficult and limited.  The rough parts of life exist to help people grow stronger.  They show us that we are capable of much more than we realized previously.  The trick about rough patches in life is that they all start out as something small and expand outward.  Nothing big ever just hits somebody out of the blue.  The only reason why someone believes that something came from out of nowhere is because he or she was not open to the smaller changes taking place all around him or her beforehand.  When a person ignores change, then his or her point of view remains stagnant.  Change is always happening, but people fail to see it because they have their own agenda about how things are supposed to be.  Things are not supposed to be any way at all.  I can either see my disability as a limitation, or I can see it as something that sets me free. 

Cerebral Palsy has allowed me to be more open about my life with others.  It gets people to think about and ask questions beyond life's mundane tasks.  My disability invites conversations from others who might not have spoken to me if I were able-bodied. 

The little things in life do matter because everything has the potentiality for change to occur.  I made the Uber drivers rethink their position about what it means to have a disability.  Anyone can change the world, but he or she must act on his or her thoughts for the desired result to happen.
