PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

For most of my life, I wished I was someone else.  I lamented about my bad luck of being abused as child by my father and having a mentally ill mother who could not help me.  As I grew up, my life was equally difficult meeting men who assaulted me and hurt me. These were tough life lessons for me, and I am a stronger person because of it.

This morning, I was listening to my favorite pianist, Bill Evans who himself had much darkness in his life dying prematurely from a drug overdose.  I never knew the name of this song I love listening to, and when I looked this morning, it turned out to be “Lucky to be me.”

This is how I feel about my life now.  How lucky am I to have found my path, people I care about and who care about me, my purpose for my life through my work, enough money to do what I want, and many activities that bring me joy and happiness?  I am truly blessed.

When earlier, I thought God had forgotten me.  Now, I realized that earlier I was not ready to see, accept, and receive these gifts that I have been given.  We are ready, when we are ready.  Only when we are ready to see the darkness within us can we finally seek and find the light in our lives.

This light can overcome all the harshness and darkness that our life may appear to us when we finally realize we can change our perspective and see the world completely differently. It is finding our way back to our Divinity within where there is good, light, compassion, and kindness toward ourselves and others.

When we finally find this place where we have healed our emotional wounds and given up our attachments to things, people, and outcomes, we will feel lucky to be who we are.  With love and light to you, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All RIghts Reserved)
