Isn't She Beautiful....

As you know, I've been on this big kick of inward reflection and balance. I cannot even begin to describe how good I feel today.  As much as I hate looking back, in a moment where I feel this good, I like to take the slightest peek into the rearview mirror, not to rehache or remind myself of pain or the past, but to simply remind myself how far I've come.  Not every day is perfect, but I am learning that the key to my happiness has nothing to do with the things that are happening, but rather the perspective I am choosing to look at them from.

Today was an incredible day... and oddly, just like everything Yoga and some of the reading I have been doing has taught me, there is something real to be said about the Law of Attraction.  You will attract into your life what you are... Here I am finding myself at the end of the day saying "Pinch me, I must be dreaming...", but wait, I'm not! This is all real. Good things are flowing into my life.

I had a conversation with a friend tonight, who is facing a very difficult time. One that draws my heart and mind back to my own struggle early last year. Days when I thought the pain would never end. The loneliness, the helplessness, a million barriers preventing my happiness. How lucky am I to have had a friend who laid out the tough truth for me... he simply said "you are not dateable". It hit me like a ton of bricks at that time. I was shocked, offended, defensive. He went on to tell me I needed to love myself first. I felt angry with him, like he wasn't understanding me... And here I sit today, sharing that very story with a girlfriend who is feeling that very same pain.  The only difference between me today, and me one year ago, is that I love me more today... I continue to spend time focused on me, my needs, and what makes me happy. I am working to remove the excuses that easily come to mind when I want to complain about why I'm not happy about something, and instead think about the situation in a different light, and believe that anything is possible.

It is this thinking, the law of attraction, when you believe it, it will happen.  When you let go and find happiness, you open yourself up to the many wonderful gifts that life is waiting to give you. They may not be what you "want" but they will be what you "need" today.  So let go of the what if's and fears that hold you back. Today I am unafraid, I am curious, I am hopeful and I am happy. Sure, I am still single, my dating experiences have been nothing more than shameful, laughable, humourous, horrible and at times sad... yet here I am... smiling. Life is good. Today a host of other opportunities flowed into my life, albeit it none of those things were "the man of my dreams" LOL, but they are definitely opportunities and gifts that make my life full, rich and so very appreciated :).

Today, the song "Beautiful" by Hedley is my inspiration. Check it out... believe that there is someone out there who will believe that about you when you believe it about yourself.

"Isn't she beautiful....Make you laugh, she'll make you listen
Nothing's broke and nothing's missin'... Isn't she everything thing you need"
