“What you focus on expands,
and when you focus on the goodness in life,
you create more of it."
EASTER
EGGS by Leslie Karen Sann, MA, LCPC
Life is a journey filled with treasures and
abundance. The key is choosing where to focus. It's that simple.
To discover treasures in life, it is important to
acknowledge, appreciate and be grateful. Gratitude for the gifts that are
present fosters an awareness of abundance.
As I go through my day, I discover gifts everywhere.
Parking spaces in congested neighborhoods, a wren singing from her new
home in a tree on our property, wild phlox permeating the air with their
sweetness, blue skies, green grass, sunshine, beautiful music on the
radio, soft pillows to cuddle up to, a joke to laugh at and share . . .
Life is full of riches. I need only to open my eyes
and look, reach out, touch and claim my abundance. Even those things that
can be considered a challenge can be transformed into blessings as we
choose to focus on that which is the gift. For example, going through a
divorce may seem painful and sad at times, and it also can be seen as an
inner strengthener and Freedom-giver. Losing a job may be the perfect
opportunity to clarify intentions and then manifest a more appropriate
career. Sickness may change a pattern of overwork and stress to a
healthier lifestyle.
I have made finding the gifts a game...in order to
live in the joy as I grow and discover. It's like an Easter egg hunt. The
Universe puts out the eggs and if I choose to look, I find them. But let
me tell you something I've discovered: the eggs/gifts are there whether I
look for them or not. It's mine to choose to look and to find, for the
blessings already are.
I claim my abundance, my riches, by taking charge of
what I focus on. And I choose to claim my life as a gift, no matter what a
situation looks like.
Saying thank you to everything is a Power Move, for
gratitude transforms darkness into light. When I take something I had
considered negative and bless it with my gratitude, it is changed into a
jewel for my treasure chest.
Living an abundant life is as simple as looking for
the Easter eggs while remembering this moment is a precious gift.
