Many of you have heard me preach about meditation and the power and strength it can bring into a life. I am one lucky gal because my favourite mediation spot is often my big, deep, jetted tub that sits under a huge picture window. Because of where I live, I can bathe, by candlelight, while staring out of this window because there is nobody but the animals to notice me. Nearly every night of late, as the days get longer, I have been able to spot the first star of the evening from my bathtub. And yes, I do still make a wish each and every time I spot that first star. For the past few nights, my wish has been essentially the same and it has been fervent, begging from the depths of my soul. Well, tonight the star answered back. (Ain't it just like me to get a sassy one.) She pointed out to me that she has heard my wish for a few nights in a row now and she feels my angst but the fulfillment of this wish is entirely up to me. It is in my power to see it to fruition or not. I began to whine and beg for some outside assistance because I don't clearly see or believe that I can do it. The star got right back in my face and bluntly stated, "Then you will fail". That was all she was going to offer, she then turned her glittery back to me and refused to offer another word.
I am not gonna lie, I sat there for a few moments in a full-on pout. How dare she talk to me in that fashion? Her job and only serious responsibility is to grant wishes or at least the promise of a wish come true. But then, as I watched the darkness gather outside the window and stared at the candle flickering on the side of the tub and my meditation deepened, I realized that the star had done her job, she had kept her part of the bargain. She had granted my wish. What I want to achieve with my body and my life is one hundred percent in my power. It is wholly up to me. I can choose to be empowered and make correct choices and bring on real change or I can ALWAYS find a reason that it is too hard, or not the right time, or that I do not have the support structure to make real change.
Thank you, Miss Sassy Star. I will do all that I can to see my wishes through and then pass along what I have learned to make another person's wish come true.
I appreciated reading your beautiful experience. The adversary always works hardest when it comes to our bodies. He is jealous that he doesn't have one. I completely understand your struggles. Every time you make that better choice, it is double or triple the negative one. Don't let anything get you down or tell you otherwise. You are the star and light to so many in your life. More than you'll ever know.
