THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW

Life is a lesson and planet Earth is our school. When we are awake and aware, we have many teaching moments that present themselves in our lives. Most of what I have learned to date, the real life-changing lessons, have been learned by living day to day, while listening and watching life. The lessons are numerous and when we have the heart and hunger of a student, every day is school. 

While sitting on my back porch contemplating the trees, this came to me. Things we need to know. Following this thought was a list of simple truths that are important for all to know. 

1. We all matter.

2. We are all loved                                                                    

3. We are all here on purpose and for a purpose.

4. We all belong

As I thought on these truths, I realized these are the experiences we all long for at the deepest level, our soul cravings.  Whether we are consciously aware of it or not, these are things we long to know!! It is so important to know we matter and that we are loved. Just as important is the realization that we matter because we are each here for a purpose and without our being here, the world would not be the same. Living life on purpose, and fulfilling our purpose, changes the paradigm of how we view our place in the world. We are all part of the whole, we all belong to something bigger than our self. 

When we truly know these simple, yet essential truths, life changes for us. Life, as we know it, takes on new and deeper meaning. We are more aware, more in touch with what is going on in us and around us, more in tune with the inner workings of life, and have a deeper sense of our connection to all. 

The difference, once we touch and understand we are enveloped in and by creator energy, is our vision becomes clearer, we are more at peace with self and the world around us, and we get to experience the joy of what it feels like to be held in love and tenderness. No matter what is going on around me, or in the world, I always know in the deepest part of my being that divine energy has me, and that my life is as it is because of grace and mercy.

We are all creations of divine, benevolent energy and we all matter. The rain falls on the just and the unjust and the sun shines on all. We are all included under the umbrella of grace and mercy and unless we move out from that benevolent field of nurturing and caring, we are all held. Even when we don't know we are being held, or when we forget or doubt it because we may be in a dark place, we are still held in love and mercy.

You matter greatly! You are totally loved!! You are here on purpose and for a purpose!! You belong to that which encompasses all!!  Take it in.  Breathe it in. Let this settle in your bones, your body, your mind and your heart. 💓💓💓
