The universe have been telling me to slow down!
Two weeks ago on a Thursday I left for a meeting, despite of my intuition whispering "stay home". So I backed my Expedition truck through my garage door, thinking the door was open at the time. I spent the rest of the day dealing with fixing it, as well as $200 out of pocket.
On Friday I knew I shouldn't go anywhere, so I stayed in my back yard next to the fire pit and running fountain. I got my laptop out to get some stuff done to avoid the feelings of guilt. Only an hour later, four fire truck crews stormed to my house in suspicion of a fire. Firemen were on the roof and at my front door, wearing gas masks and protective suits, with loud radio communication, all in addition to a police unit. All of this commotion was about my little fire pit. It took over an hour to clear the scene.
Apparently one passing neighbor saw smoke, alerted other neighbors for a fire and they all called 911 to storm my house, so much for getting anything done that day.
To top this off, on the following Monday my break lights would not turn off even when the keys were out of the ignition. It was time to park my car, and really do nothing. I finally got the point with an additional damage of $175.00.
I said "Let's pretend I am sick, so I get to stay home, watch movies, do nothing and not feeling guilty because after all, when you are sick, what else can you do?" Right?
I got to cheat for a week before I really did get sick. I have been sick for the past 5 days, being miserable in bed. Oh, what have I done?
If you are stubborn like me and need to get sick to slow down, you are not alone. Here I am thinking I already learned this lesson before, but I obviously haven't yet. I do believe I learned it this time, at least until the next time I get sick.
Although being sick is not comfortable, that's why it is called dis-ease. It is not necessarily bad. To avoid the pain, I found myself dreaming and praying. I actually created a few beautiful dreams that I want to manifest in my life now.
I realized how easy it is to forget dreaming and praying in the everyday life. Dreaming is such a wonderful gift, it's too bad I need to get sick to be reminded to dream. But when you come across a dream that touches your heart, who cares how you got there? Praying is proclaiming, demanding what your heart desires.
My message to you today is slow down, take a break, and dream a little.
Have fun, celebrate, and rejoice, because after all, life is nothing less than the greatest party on earth.
