Bottom Line of Worry

Sharing by Mary

ARE YOU A WORRIER? I never thought of myself as a worrier. Yes, I see myself
as a thinker and analyzer, but not a worrier. Lately, I’ve felt like there’s been an energy
drain on my system, as if someone left the faucet on, but I couldn’t find the faucet to
stop the leak, so I made a decision to pause for an afternoon off.

Visiting a healthcare provider who focuses on healing at a deeper level, I inquired,
“What is going on?” She responded, “It’s your mind. It’s all in the mind. You worry! You
worry too much!”

She dimmed the lights and closed the door so I could rest quietly. Turning inward, I
called upon my Dear Friend, this Presence of Love within, to get in touch with what is
truly draining my energy. Sure enough, as clear as day, I saw how I have been
worrying about many things, especially for the last few months; feeling divided about
how I spend my time and energy, and what things I am pressuring myself to be my
priorities in daily life. Then, as I pause for Wisdom, I become aware that these are not
the priorities that LOVE is calling me to live by at all.

Furthermore, choices that I thought of as showing concern, taking responsibility, and
being conscientious, were WORRYING!!!

THE SOLUTION?

In a pause, I decided to slow down so that I can be more aware of WHAT IS GOING
ON IN MY MIND; the pace of my thoughts, what these thoughts are preaching to
me, how these thoughts are making me feel, and
Pause to call upon and listen to the Presence of LOVE in me INSTEAD ~
The LOVE that is beneath the mental chatter is sharing quite a different story.

Rather than a story of overwhelm and frustration, A TRUE STORY OF
THE PEACE and JOY that is fully available to all of us, shaping a new
way of seeing and living everyday life in the world.
Seeing the potential
that an ordinary day holds for extending Peace and Joy.
I am making choices in my mind with my everyday time.
What are they?

Let Peace Be With You

So here is the deal,
The bottom line, if you will,
We all need help
And there is not much time left to kill.
I am speaking of Help,
From Inspiration Within.
While you may have been searching
For help around the bend,
Inspiration’s Help is here and now,
Resting within.

Inspiration wants to Help you
Even give you a good laugh,
It asks nothing of you and
Is not condemning you in wrath.
So, unpack your bags
Take off your shoes,
You are not going anywhere –
At least not until you pull up a chair.
For here you will pause,
And look on the inside.
Do not worry, do not fret
No one travels alone on This Ride.
It does not change a thing,
How your life appears thus far,
Inspiration has a plan for you,
And those hands in the cookie jar.

The bottom line is this:
Will you do your part? I will do mine.
I am here to serve you,
If you are in the serving line.

Your part is simple
Never changes its tune,
It is your little willingness,
Which will be followed by a boon.
Willingness to what?
Well, get out of your own way
And listen to your Inspired Heart∞Mind
On This One Fine Day.

What is the point?
What good will it do?
Whether it is the kids overwhelming you,
Your parents or your job in the zoo,
Or perhaps taxes, rent, mortgages too
– Relationship upheaval got you in a
jam,
Got. a headache over the daily scam,
Messages coming in, emails stacking
up,
Giving your all to this overflowing cup
– Or maybe as you see it life is going
well.
But is your neighbor feeling so swell?

If you would give Inspiration a chance,
All I am waiting for is your willing
glance.
Life is filled with decisions
The moment the day begins
Turn towards Inspiration Within.
