Thoughts and feelings

Thoughts and feelings are very powerful things. They can take the colour out of a beautiful day. The wind out of our sails. The power out of our belief in self.

They can shift us from feeling on top of the world to being at the bottom looking up at everything and everyone as if they are too heavy to shift. Too much for us to bear.

Thoughts and feelings control the outer version of who we are as we duel with the inner version of who we truly are. They distort our essence self particularly when they are fuelled by the ego. Which is ultimately fuelled by our fears.

Thoughts and feelings dictate our outlook because they become the energy we project. The energy we reflect. Refract. Repel. According to where our thoughts and feelings are at the time.

But when we want the colour back in the day. The sun to shine through again and the wind to lift our sails, it is up to us to shift our thoughts and feelings even when we feel we can’t. Particularly when we feel we can’t because we are being asked by the Universe to learn a lesson. Open to a lesson. Open to compassion. To shift our thoughts and feeling so the world will not be so monochromatic but the bright and vivid one that it truly is.

What we need to accept is that life sometimes will take the wind out of our sails, take the colour out of our world, the power out of self but in doing so it is giving us the opportunity to find them all again. To see them all again. This time from a different perspective and vantage point. This time from a place of understanding, respect and love.

And when we do take heed of the lessons and the blessing that we are not perfect, that our lives will not always be perfect, that our love will not always be perfect then we will not be so hard on ourselves when we react in ways we should not. Then we will not berate ourselves when things don’t go as planned.

Then we will just shift our thoughts and feelings to allow the colour back in our lives, the joy back in our heart, gratitude back into our psyche and when we let go of our ego and invite in love and understanding, our whole outlook shifts. Our whole being opens up. The bars come down. And we invite in love and possibility. Colour and life.

Thoughts and feelings are very powerful things because they help us to see the world from either a monochromatic perspective or from a vivid and bright colours perspective. Full of magic and awe. Full of love. Instead of dread and drudgery. Instead of hate and war.

I like the colours in the world, the sunshine on my face, hope and faith above all us so as much as I am humanly capable I love to look at the world through rose coloured glasses. This way there is little time for me to shut out the possibility and abundance that is there, right here, in this moment for me. No matter how dim it may seem. No matter how grim.  There is always colour and beauty in our world whenever we choose to see it. Namaste.
