DIVINITY WITHIN - Day 5 of 108 Days - "You have it in your power..."

" You have it in your power to make your days on Earth a path of flowers, instead of a path of thorns" .

Day 5 - Indeed. I know that.

And yet, for the last 25 years I made more path of thorns than path of flowers. Why? Everyday I have a choice and most days I did not make the right choice. Does that mean I made a mistake? No, definitely not. Those days when I made a path of thorns, I missed my target. I tried againthe next day and the next and the next and every time I chose thorns instead of flowers I missed the target. So many misses....

But the beauty of it all is that I can always try again and again and again until I get a bulls eye.

When I looked back, I noticed that whenever I make the path of thorns and it hurts, I blamed the thorns or someone else. I pointed a finger. I cried and cried. I felt like a victim. I get stuck and I enjoyed being stuck, I enjoyed being miserable. I get addicted to it. And yet, if someone told me that at that time, I will get angrier and would feel much worst than I already felt. I would respond "You insensitive you, how can you say I enjoyed being miserable, how can you even accused me of being addicted to misery? Can you not see I am suffering? Don't you have any compassion, don't you have a heart?".

Of course I enjoyed it and was addicted to it because if I did not and was not, then I would not be in that situation. And guess what? When I had enough of it, when I was ready, I STOPPED being miserable and stop being addicted to misery.

For some people, the misery goes on and on and on until nature takes it course and end it for them.

For goodness sake, this is the dawn of a new era - an era of inner and outer peace, and joy and love. Together let us cross the golden bridge filled with inner joy and happiness. Let us make a choice - the choice of creating a path of flowers - fragrant, beautiful, colorful and magnificent flowers - do it now. REMEMBER, REMEMBER, REMEMBER.

YOU HAVE THE POWER

TO MAKE YOUR DAYS ON
EARTH A PATH OF FLOWERS.
