Keys For Living

[MajestyJo]

I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, and fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural, clean in mind and clean in body. . . to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid.

--Elbert Hubbard

Growing up, we learned there were many places to make wishes: the first star, a well, candles on a birthday cake. We saw Dorothy return from Oz after she wished she were back home. Fairy tales taught us wishes can come true.

We don't have to stop wishing, even though many of our wishes never came true. We may have wished for the impossible when we said "I wish things would get better at home." But we may have gotten our way when we said, "I wish this pain would end." Our dreams came true with the program.

Our best wishes can be about ourselves and the lives we want to have. We can wish for riches and find friends with hearts of gold. We can wish for comfort and health, and get a night of uninterrupted sleep. Whatever we wish for, we can receive.

This reminds me of what my spiritual adviser once told me, "God meets my needs, sometimes my wishes and my wants. As a dear friend of mind use to say, "Put it out to the Universe and see what you get back."

Remember it is in God`s Time. Don`t put your life on hold, when you are meant to receive, you will know it is there. Watch for the blessings, perhaps your God answered you by giving you what you want in a new form, be prepared to acknowledge and accept it. Sometimes our God just says `No` not right now.

Many times I wish my pain would go away, yet in reality, I need to do the do things to help myself. Most times I am guided by a thought as to what I need. A lot of times it is acceptance, and asking for the knowingness to do what I need to do to help myself. He gives me the strength, courage, and wisdom.
