When space is created in your life it can seem as if something has been lost and you are left less than you were before. But contrary to the mind’s idea of space, that opening is the foundation of abundance.
When it comes down to it, an abundance of space is really just the platform on which abundance manifests. I say this as I move into what looks like a wide-open field of possibilities in my own life. My incredible teaching experience that was grant-funded these past four years has reached its end date, and I am humbled with gratitude. Whenever I feel an inner longing towards what was, I know I experienced something to be thankful for, and any bitter-sweetness changes to pure sweetness.
Over a year ago I began planning a vacation to Florida. While I didn’t know at the time what my life was going to look like a year later, the trip is arriving right on schedule. One week ago I had my last day of work, and in one day I leave for a ten-day excursion. The universal schedule is too vast to contain in a mind, but it is prompt and efficient nonetheless! Trusting in time is the same as trusting in the present moment, it is allowing life to exist as it is and consequently aligning your own experience with its perfect unfolding.
I’m reminded of Francis Lucille’s words – that a painter should keep the centre of his canvas empty so that life moves into it.
That is so beautiful, thank you!
Love this post Katie. And something I have worked on for years myself. We have to remember life is cyclical. The joy in life is found in celebrating both with equality. Our darkest moments in life carry with them the seeds for our greatest victories, so why not celebrate when things aren’t going the way our egoic mind tends to consider they should be.
Thank you for that wonderful reminder of the cyclical nature of life. You are spot on! It is really heartening to hear that encouragement right now.
