Be o.k. with whom and where you are.
My dumplings were a hit; I think my family liked them better than the stew. It is so nice to sit down to a leisurely family meal every now and then. It seems like it gets harder and harder to plan a meal around everyone’s schedules.
I tend to feel that I am always pushing myself to be better, to do better, and to do more. And then I am frustrated when I don’t get it all done. My guides keep saying be o.k. with who you are now. Be o.k. with where you are now. I wonder if I was o.k. with whom and where I am at this moment, what would motivate me to move forward. How would I spend my time, how would I pay my bills, how would I make a difference to others?
Spirit Guides: Being o.k. with where you are now really means accepting yourself for who you are, not who you think you want to be. This does not mean you will not continue to have goals and ideas of things to create and people to spend time with, it simply means you will be more content doing it. Being in the moment, enjoying it, treasuring it, no matter how big or small the occurrence is the most important part of the human experience. If you are not in the moment, but thinking and planning out your next steps, you cannot get the most out of the experience you are in. Once you accept that you are good enough right now, believe it or not, it will make it even easier to reach the goals and dreams you are after. Take an inventory of your day, was it nice or are you just glad it is over? Ask yourself what you can do to enjoy your day even more; the more you enjoy it the easier it is to be in the moment, to be o.k. with whom and what you are.
43 How to stop being let down by other people.
At one time or another everyone feels let down by people in their lives. I started thinking that we can’t be let down if we don’t have expectations of them. However, how the heck to we keep from having expectations.
Spirit Guides: You are on the right track here. There are times when you need other people to help you in your life, and quite often, humans do not ask for help. They expect the people in their lives to know what they need and expect them to meet their needs. So for starters, let people know when you do have expectations or they will fail and you will be hurt.
When you do have an expectation that is not serving you, one thing to do is to look at what need you have that is not being met and why you think you need this need met through a particular person. As you look at this need, you may start to realize that this is something you already hold within you and may find you don’t need outside help at all.
Being able to let go of expectations and except people the exact way they are at the exact moment is possible. You will have a hard time letting go of your expectations of others if you think or say things like, “I would never treat them that way” or “my friend Suzy would never act like that” you have moved into comparing and judging. Letting judgment go, will help you let the expectation go. Whenever you have an expectation, you can tell yourself that you are deciding not to have any expectations for this person and if they do something more than the normal, see it as a gift. You can use your grounding cord to send the expectation down, or put the expectation in a rose and destroy the rose. Making the conscious decision to let the expectation go is the first step that will lead into less and less expectations and away from further disappointments.
