Something Good is Happening

Some­thing good is already hap­pen­ing.  Can you dis­cover it?   –  Alan Cohen

This was today’s “Daily Inspi­ra­tion” quote and it brought a smile to my face.  I think that what really appeals to me is the word “dis­cover”.  It con­jures up images of search­ing through a rain­for­est to find a delight­ful jewel-toned bird, or a child lift­ing rocks in the grass to find “rolly polly” bugs.  “Dis­cover” has a light­ness of energy to it, a sense of play, fun and adven­ture.  When I think of the fun of dis­cov­er­ing some­thing, I can feel my vibra­tion raise, mak­ing it that much eas­ier to find the good in some­thing.  Well, I shy away from call­ing some­thing “good” or “bad”, but it makes it that much eas­ier for me to con­nect to, and be thank­ful for, the bless­ing in the situation.

This same idea was rein­forced today as I lis­tened to the Morn­ing Guided Med­i­ta­tion that we have avail­able on this site (for free — try it!).  The actual words escape me, but the energy is focused on look­ing for the good in the day.  What a great way to start the morn­ing!  What a great focus and inten­tion to carry for­ward into the day!

What might your day be like if you con­sciously chose to look for the good in every sit­u­a­tion.  Yes, EVERY sit­u­a­tion.  “Some­thing good is already hap­pen­ing.  Can you dis­cover it?”

Here’s my chal­lenge to you (and to myself, of course) — dis­cover the good that is already hap­pen­ing.  Look at the fun parts of your life, but also look deep into the heart of those parts that appear to be dark.   What price­less wis­dom and lessons are you learn­ing?  How are you learn­ing to be more com­pas­sion­ate as a result, or to be a bet­ter servant-leader?   A bet­ter par­ent?   What joy are you expe­ri­enc­ing?  What ways are you let­ting God dance through you as you expe­ri­ence life on this glo­ri­ous planet of ours?

We all learn so much from each other.  Dis­cover the good and come back here to share with your Meta­phys­i­cal Sisters!
