Recently, I was waiting for a package to come in the mail. I didn't have a tracking number as it was just coming from a friend, so I made my own estimate of when I should be receiving it. After a few days, I checked the mail; no package. Day two: no package. I began to feel anxious and wondering if it had been lost or stolen. I decided to stop worrying about it and just let it arrive whenever it's supposed to. On the fourth day, I received it and when I did, it almost felt like a surprise.
Inside the package was a beautiful book. And even though I wanted it, I had to realize I wasn't ready for it. Why? Because I don't have time to read it, yet.
Some of us get so caught up on instant gratification and the excitement of receiving things that we forget to check ourselves out to see if we're ready to receive them. We want a house, new job, husband/wife, children, promotion, success...but are we truly ready for what having those things entails? What do we need to do to prepare ourselves for what we want out of life? What do we need to change in order to make room for our blessings? How can we adjust our way of thinking and being to allow these changes to take place?
Let's be sure that we're being honest with ourselves when we aren't ready and take the necessary steps to get there.
Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
