If you give it time. If you give yourself time. If you give life time. If you believe it..it will happen. All things that you desire, pray for, long for, sleep and dream about WILL BE YOURS in time. Just how you may have imagined them happening may be different. The story may be different but the ending will be the same...getting what you wanted. Believe that with all of your heart. Feed your soul with that belief. Delight in seeing these things made manifest even before they are and PRACTICE having what you want. Dreams do come true...all in time.

Aren't we a narcissistic bunch? As people generally and as women specifically. We sometimes become so enamored with our own lives that we forget there is a world around us. We believe that we are in a soothing hookah smoked bubble where only our needs, pain, desires, unhappiness and childhood issues matter. We simply forget or we don't care. And we like to use that delightful phrase, "I've been so busy...." I have used it myself. "I'm sorry I didn't call, I've been so busy." "I'm sorry I couldn't make it, I've been so busy." And of course when we say that we really mean it because after all...we are so busy..with life. We all have work to do, issues to resolve, unhappiness to slay, poor habits to overcome. Some of us are full time students and parents and partners and maintain a 40 hour plus work week. And that is busy! But the fact of the matter is that when we want to do something we find a way or make a way to do it. My mother would always say, "people find time for what they want." At the time she said this to me I was trying to explain to her "just how busy my 20 something year old boyfriend with no job was" and why he couldn't call me more often. *sigh* I don't want to be so self absorbed. Even at my darkest moments when I feel hollow inside I need to, remember that it's not all about me. I can see past my tears. I can extend myself to someone who may need me. I can do it even if I don't want to and Even if I'm busy.
Can Time Heal?
by Cheril Goodrich
There is a belief that time heals all wounds. The premise of this belief is that the further you get away from an event in time the less the pain is felt that is associated with the event. From a Spiritual standpoint, is this true?First of all to examine this concept, we must first address the idea of time. For something to be healing at a true Spiritual level it must involve a healing idea or, in other words, it must promote healing by offering an idea that can heal. Does time offer this? Is it possible for a non-feeling, non-caring idea, such as time, to give soothing to the soul when something happens that seems so catastrophic we do not have any idea how we can move beyond our pain? If all we have to look forward to is relief from a non-feeling source such as time, this calls into question our relationship to our Creator because, from this premise, time offers us a better way of healing. Perhaps this is not true at all. Perhaps we do not understand the provisions that God has provided for us when we are in such pain and so we rely on what we know. By relying on what we know we are apt to just make it through anyway we can. This does not necessarily heal the pain and some people go on for years not understanding how to move on.Sometimes we have to find a miracle to move on. This involves finding a strength that does not come from us. If it came from us we would know how to handle the misery. Instead it involves finding a place in our own mind where time does not rule. Finding this place means finding a place of peace that exists within all of us. We all have access to this state because we were created with this fail-safe sanctuary, but we have forgotten how to access it and use it. This state of mind is our solution, but until we remember that it is there, and appreciate it, we will turn to what we know.Learning that there are different levels of mind that we have access to places us in a position of control. We learn we do not have to wallow in pain or depression, but this takes practice. Our mind is like a horse that continually goes home to what it knows. In this case our mind believes its shelter is in time. Finding another level of mind where peace is prevalent shows us that we can move beyond any perceived problem and join with something Higher that can lead us to something we have never thought about. All ideas that can heal our pain, be it psychological or physical, and all solutions that can heal the world come out of this place that is found in our own mind, but we do not access it because we do not believe that it works because of what we have learned while living in time.We are living in perilous times. We are not being asked to heal the world, just ourselves of the internal pain and conflict that seems to be endless. How can peace come to the world if we cannot even find peace within our own mind? If we are not responsible for ourselves, then who is? If I blame another or blame circumstances that seem to be beyond my control, then I am a victim, and someone else controls my life. This is not the role God would have us play.Look for the solution in any circumstance that seems to be beyond your control. For every problem there is a solution. By concentrating only on the problem, the solution is removed from you by your own desire. By looking for and reaching for the solution, your mind will remember how to access the part of the mind where God abides. No one can do this for us, it is an individual choice that remains open to us, but is not evident unless we search for it. There is another way. The answer does not lie in time or in another idea that has been born in time. It is in our own mind. By learning to access and using another level of mind, we can heal not only ourselves, but also the world because accessing this part of our mind joins us with something Greater than ourselves. Learn to be a part of the healing force that will move the world beyond any perceived conflict. It all begins by learning to become master of your own mind.
