All of us allow things around us to happen whether negative or positive, either to ourselves, around ourselves or to others. Can we change a lot of it? yes. Do we? Probably not, or not as often as we should. When we allow others to make more emotional withdrawals than deposits we find ourselves with emotional negative equity and we become mired down, like a major financial deficit, it is really tough to rebound or recover from. And all that we inspire to do becomes diluted with self doubt, and a very emotionally drained state, where we are of no help to ourselves or to anyone else.
I have lived this way, for about 75% of the my life. I have known for quite some time that God had a plan for me (Jeremiah 29:11) to endure much pain before I can find happiness or move forward in anyway. As I await His directions I must learn to rise above the storm, in order to find the sunshine. My journey is still underway, but I am beginning to see the sun.
There have been many more withdrawals than deposits into my emotional, spiritual, peacefulness, my joy, my love and caring accounts than deposits. And I don't think I have had more than a dozen transactions with my happiness account, which tells you how long I have struggled to find my rightful happy place.
I dream of a place where I can live in my dreams. Not just about them. To cherish and celebrate life, not just tolerate or participate in it. To be cherished and celebrated and to live in my harmony, not just have harmony in my music. To find the sunshine and hold on to it with both hands, and to always grab the rainbow after I've danced in its' rain.
I've always heard that we get out of life what we put into it. This I believe is true. We must remember to have a balance. I have been living and serving in the book of my life with limited transactions, because I was born Gods' servant and have always believed in it is always better to give than to receive. I always wanted to avoid any negative equity and I always believe in paying it forward.
I have recently become aware of some newly written pages in behind the definitions and the afterword pages. I am so intrigued by these new chapters, that I am giddy as a schoolgirl to begin to explore them. My journey will continue on new adventures in this story of my life.
Maybe it's a sequel or many many chapters of the same story, but wouldn't life be even more amazing, if we all had surprise chapters written in our books, as we continue making deposits to the equity in our lives, and find additional joy and happiness and maybe even an alternate ending? Even the out-takes could be used to enhance our gifts to others and to ourselves.
