Making Life Great

Making Life Great

 

By Kelly Carroll

 

How to make life great…hint:  It already is.  Life is full.  Life contains all the experiences that you would love to have.  They are already there.  You just have to allow them to come forward into your everyday.  Life contains joy, abundance, love, great relationships, money, creative success, and much, much more.

 

One way to shift what you are experiencing is to choose to have a personal relationship with Life Itself.  Life is the sum total of everything; the sky, people, space, events, God, you, Everything!  Underneath the appearance of everything around us is the energy of creation, and science and spiritual masters tell us it is all one thing.  Even if you aren’t noticing everything at the level of it all being one thing, you may have heard the saying

God is everything.  So having a personal relationship with Life is having a personal relationship with God.  It is also having a personal relationship with everything. 

 

Before we really move into a deeper relationship with God and with Life it is helpful to look at some beliefs that may hold us back from a truly magnificent experience.  One belief that can change is that God is religion. Religion, any religion is made by people.  Religions at their best are to honor God and help people become closer to a spiritual life.  Most religions contain rules and regulations that were created by man.  We are talking here about a deeper daily experience of Life and All That Is, rather than a group of people who do things a certain way.

 

Another belief to take a look at is, what do I think God thinks of me?  Let’s be clear about this before we move into a closer everyday experience.  God is All Good.  God is Love.  So many people do not feel good about

themselves and then they portray that onto their experiences with everything in their life, including God.  God created you, God is love.  God loves you more than you have even imagined.  It is forever and unconditional.

This is one of the best places to start when you want to experience more of the magic of an everyday personal relationship with Life.  Know God approves of you.  Know you can feel any way and God approves.  Know you can make mistakes and God approves of you and loves you anyway.  God is All Good.  God is Love.

 

And so, on to a more personal relationship with life…The next time you walk into a grocery store and the flower department with all the beautiful bouquets, imagine they are all for you.  All of them.  Look at the colors, the beauty, smell them, and imagine they were placed there just for you to enjoy in that moment.  That is the reason they are all there, for you.  This and more is how much Life loves you.  Experience it in your imagination.  Ask for signs, you will be shown.  Focus on what you would love to have happen in your life and ask the Universe to help you create the experiences that are just right for you.  And give thanks.  You will begin to open the gifts that have been there waiting in a pile, just for you.  The Universe loves you.
