Finding the gift

IMG_2517-6.JPG

In everything there exists a gift,
In every circumstance, every perceived challenge or struggle,
It is only up to us to find it.
To ask, ‘
‘How can I turn this in my favour?’,
‘How can I make this a victory?’

For example, as a child growing up with a disability and being very ill at times I grew to hate hospitals, at best I found them extremely boring. This was up until I learnt how I could turn literally anything in to an opportunity and decided to see it this way instead.

I decided that instead of hating the hospital or finding it boring whenever I had to go I would instead see it as an opportunity of what I could transform, how I could create something that might seem impossible in to a possibility and from then on it became more like an adventure of what victory I could have to then share with others.

And the best part of all is that it worked

One instance is when I broke my wrist two years ago and instead of becoming defeated and fed up, I decided to find out the quickest possible time I could recover and make it happen, not only this but I was told I would likely need an operation in the first week to adjust the bone. I focused on it healing perfectly and quickly without the need for an op and after a week I was told I didn’t need the operation and in addition the cast was off in just 5 weeks. My wrist is now stronger than ever!

I tracked all of this recovery journey on You Tube, and the 5week video now has nearly 20’000 views. I say all this to really demonstrate how no matter what the situation may be, you really can make something in to a great positive, and this is just one of many examples of how this can be done.

We never have to be defeated unless we choose to be.

Think today of the things you can turn around in your favour to inspire more possibility and opportunity ? 💕

Every difficulty
Can be an opportunity
Every struggle can be a strength
It is what you choose to focus on that will really get you through anything,
To a place where you thought you would never be
To a place where you’re more than you’ve ever been 💗

Everything is rhythm

Everything is rhythm
Moving individually,
Rhythmically;
As part of one whole
Everything is rhythm,
Moving with the flow
Flowing ever forward,
As one with natures goal 💕

Higher realms

There is no control
only acceptance
Where the deeper self,
The higher self
Chooses focus
And chooses well
On all that serves,
All that is positive
Towards ones growth
In the higher realms 🙏

Inter-connectedness

What if all is one
Where heart and mind have always been
Here there is no separation,
Only that you choose to see

Beyond,
Where there is no duality
Only a beautiful space in between,
Where all is one
All is whole, and all is free

When we see from here
Only love can be our goal
All else is lost
Of no true way, or meaningful cause

So we connect,
Connect to all that has ever been
To see the truth in all that is, To be the truth in all to come 🙏

~ M. L Adams

You are here

There’s no where to go
No where to be different
Wherever you are ,
Is the right place to be
Wherever you are,
Is all that you need 💗

~ M. L Adams

What matters

It’s never about the stuff
How others may think or judge
What matters is what’s in our heart
In how our actions show who we are
Not in who’s right or who’s wrong,
But in having love and gratitude,
No matter what 💗

~ M. L Adams

Walk on

 

‘Why add tension of emotion/thought to a situation which is illusion, to the extent that it is real, of a passing moment?

Do what seems wise to be done,
Forget it and walk on.
Walk on and see a new view,
Walk on and see the birds fly,

Walk on and leave behind all things that would damn up the inlet,
Or clog the outlet, of experience’

– Bruce Lee –

Remembering

We keep someone alive by how we remember them,
In how they live through us
We are to flow with life
Never to stop or hold on,
Only to let go,
To be;
Always here with life,
Always known 💕

~ M. L Adams
