Saying yes to reality....to the things we cannot change is like choosing to sit in the saddle in the direction the horse is going. Sitting that way makes the ride smoother and is a mindful way of honoring the here and now without the distraction of fear. We can enjoy the scenic route. Using your imagination to say yes to the present events and circumstances is creative living at its finest. We face our issues without protest, without anger, without bitterness and this attitude releases our creativity to embrace life. An unconditional "Yes" to reality circumvents the ego and frees us from control, judgment, complaining, dreamy expectations and we meet each day with openness, curiosity and kindness. This is not a numbing, stoic surrender, but a courageous choice and a respectful place where spiritual surprises happen. When we are in this non-resistant state we discover unique inner gifts, our energy is vibrant regardless of the events and circumstances, things work out in peace and harmony and the creative juices are not blocked. The creative process accepts life on its own terms without shaking our fists at heaven or demanding an exemption or taking refuge in a belief system that muffles our sense of authenticity and power by portraying us as victims. In reality, our fear of and struggle against the givens are the real sources of our pain. Saying "yes" is like my favorite cowboy saying, "Make my day"!
Yes!!!
