I'm always tickled when I find myself doing exactly what I work on with clients. It reminds me that I've still got a lifetime of growth to do and I'm always a work in progress! Today I wasn't able to connect to the internet or check emails. When I spoke with my Internet Service Provider they determined it wasn't on their end but an issue with my router.
"That's not possible," I said. "I just went through a complete overhaul with them a month ago."
"Well, it may not be possible in your mind, but in reality, that's exactly what the problem is," he replied.
I sat in silence, taking in his comment for a second and then thought to myself, "Oh yeah! Reality. I'm arguing with reality and that's not going to get this issue resolved."
He was kind enough to get me on the line with the router company. After an hour of doing all sorts of technical stuff with them, the Internet was up and running once again.
This incident reminded me that no matter how much I argue with reality, there it is, standing firm in its position, still staring me in the face. Always waiting patiently and lovingly for me to align my Being with it. And every time I do, it's easier for me to take the necessary action to create a new reality for myself. Even if that means just shifting my emotional energy so I feel better when there's nothing I can do to change the physical reality.
I invite you to notice how often you argue with reality. The more you argue, the more stressed your life becomes. When you accept the reality you're faced with for the moment, you can allow in feelings of peace, patience or understanding. And with those feelings it's easier to move forward in your life and create a reality you prefer - emotionally and/or physically.
