Everyone has something……..

Its 2:05 am in the morning and my mind is racing.. Thinking about all the ifs,.. and all the could’ve have beens,…. Thinking about the time wasted,… thinking about the years I have given myself away to opportunities that didn’t serve me,( only to leave me broken) .. Thinking about years I have given away to people who used  me, (only to leave me spiritually drained)… Thinking about the life that could have been…. All these thoughts are swirling around in my mind this morning…. at 2:05am.. ..
 
Wake up…..I suddenly tell myself… In this moment …right now….right here…everything is good….so wake up
 
It is so funny how the mind works,… Always gravitating toward the negative thoughts and experiences we have been through.  The mind seems to never want to focus on the positive.  The positive that you have clothes to wear today……The positive that you have a roof over your head…the positive that you have water to drink…the positive that you have food to eat….the positive that you have Life….  So, isn’t it funny that we have to work so very hard to remind ourselves that right here right now is good enough…and right here right now…we are ..(I am) OK….
 
So right now….right here…in this moment, lets try to look around and remember although we all have that something….we are still Ok…and being Ok is just fine….
 
Now Breathe……..Everything will be Ok….

To be continued…
 
I love you all…..
