Everything

Nothing leads you to nothing.  Focusing on everything opens you up to receiving everything.

I learned this a while ago.  I have a friend who is from Europe.  He is here for just a few months and adapting himself to a totally new culture.  He is extremely handsome and talented.  But he doesn't know that about himself.  Somehow he believes he deserves nothing.  So that is what he focuses on and that is what he gets. Again and again.

He is learning the hard way that nothing gives you nothing.  That's a hard road to take in life.  You get what you believe you should have.  In this case it's nothing.  Thankfully, he's changing.  He's coming up with strategies to work on himself.   After suffering and seeing his life full of nothing he is beginning to realize everything is possible.  He doesn't quite know what that looks like because he's so used to zeroing in on nothing.

Everything doesn't look like anything in particular.  We have experienced it before, it is infinite in nature. It's like gazing at the sky.  Once we understand ourselves fully we realize we are infinite.  It encompasses so much more than our imagination may create, it's better to keep on saying "I am open to everything great in all aspects of my life" and then let it come in.

Everything great sometimes comes disguised.  Sometimes we get something our minds reject and do not want for some reason.  Maybe what comes is not in the right package or we don't recognize it as great because we have been conditioned that great looks a certain way.  Then we go through the experience and afterwards we realize how great that was.  We realize how we needed the experience that took us to that next level of consciousness and awareness.  It's all how you look at experiences in your life.

I'm open to everything.  I can't control anything anyway.  I may as well be open to everything great that is already in my life and everything else that is coming my way.
