Our Thoughts, Our Words, Our Emotions Are Powerful!

We have all heard this said before but there are times when it truly makes itself known and is proven to me over and over again! Life can never just be one wonderful stroll on the beach although I am sure most of us would love it to be that way. Life is a roller coaster ride and it is up to us to maneuver the lows in a way that allows us to learn what we are meant to learn and not make it any worse. Our thoughts, words and emotions count so much when faced with life's obstacles, problems and just those times when things just stink!

Things have been going pretty darn okay for me as of late. I honestly have nothing to complain about, although I admit that the one thing I tend to complain about is my job. Now, my job isn't horrible and my employer is very kind, understanding and fair, so there isn't anything for me to complain about except that it is NOT where my heart is and it is not what I want to be spending my time doing. Mind you, I am taking steps to remedy that but I also have very limited patience with the Universe and myself in making it happen. it's just not happening in the time I want it to happen. So, the Universe gave back to me exactly what my thoughts, words and emotions radiated.

Last night as I was lying down because I was truly feeling miserable and sick I turned around and verbally said *I hate my situation!* referring to my job and my own life personally (where I am at a personal level) and guess what happened?

This morning on my way driving to work as the light turned green I put my foot on the gas only for my car to rev really high but my car just slowed down and wanted to die! I had to 'roll' it into the Salvation Army parking lot near my house. To make a long story short, I had it towed to my mechanic and now I am praying that this problem isn't going to wipe out my savings! I  have only owned this car for 8 months.

We all feel yucky at times with this and that and being human we are not perfect and I know it's okay to express our emotions when we are feeling lousy, stressed, etc but I am learning that instead of wallowing in what I do not like or want, I need to steer that energy further into making the changes needed. It's almost as if the Universe said to me this morning just like our parents (of my generation) used to say *I'll give you something to cry about!"

Well then, things can only move upwards from here..at least that is what I am choosing to believe. Enough whining and more positive thinking will go a long way...
