P. 6
The quality of your life experience is not determined by what happens, but by how you respond to it.
Life does not change; we change our relationship to it. To paraphrase Aldous Huxley, “Experience is not what happens to a person; it is what a person does with what happens to them.” I offer you a dream that a client recently shared with me:
In my dream I saw an altar. I was trying to arrange it, fix it up, figure it out, but felt frustrated. A wind of Spirit swept through the room. Everything scattered, completely upheaved and then rearranged. Once they were rearranged, I could see how they fit perfectly. I heard a voice. "Bring me the right ingredients and allow me to do the arranging."
I woke up wondering, "What are the right ingredients?" I asked my inner Teacher. Without words, he communicated, "Bring the healed heart, bring the heart into every moment. This is the essential ingredient. When you do this, the actions you take, the decisions you make and the results will all be arranged by the Creator. If you can allow that moment-to-moment then the altar will be arranged perfectly."
I have written about this subject in other articles, so I will not repeat myself here (those articles can be found on my web site www.rossbishop.com), but the best thing you can do in response to life is to:
LOVE EVERYTHING.
There is a very simple and powerful reason for doing this, because:
Everything you do not love will become a lesson.
