Notes from the Universe

"Thoughts become things... choose the good ones!"

Every weekday morning, I wake up to an affirmation in my inbox called "A Note From the Universe."

These little nuggets of wisdom provide everything from an insightful statement, to a beautiful piece of praise, and they are such an amazing way for me to begin a brand new day.

In case I have misplaced it, they offer me a renewed sense a positivity on which I can base my overall attitude.

Some days, it's as if The Universe is actually speaking directly to me, telling me exactly what I need to hear.

These notes, simply put, are a breath of fresh, valuable, HAPPY air.
 I think we could all use that, from time to time,
regardless of if you believe it's The Universe herself speaking to you.
We can all benefit from hearing positive words on a regular basis.

Here are some of my favorite "Notes" that I have received over the last year:

"Laced throughout every day of your life, Meghan, are hidden highways of opportunity, invisible crossroads of time, and golden avenues for personal transformation that if only traveled upon would reveal the extraordinary, the sublime, and the unexpected.  Yet most slip by undetected until there's first a childlike wonder at the ordinary, the routine, and the expected.  After all, it's usually a dirt road that leads to a diamond mine."

  "True life mastery, Meghan, is more a function of knowing what to want, than knowing how to get what you want.  Anyone can get stuff, but it takes an old soul to choose their stuff wisely."

"There is perhaps, no greater debilitating belief, Meghan, than thinking there are elements of your reality that you cannot control - be they fate, karma, the influence of other people, your stars, your palm, your loves, your looks, your personality, your intelligence, your sense of humor, or chocolate. You simply decide everything, moment to moment."

"Most think that perception works a lot like a flashlight in the dark, illuminating whatever it's aimed at. The truth, however, Meghan, is that instead of revealing what's there, it creates it.  Focus is everything."

"It's true, Meghan, sometimes when you've had a difficult day, or met difficult people, been let down, disappointed, or heartbroken, it's easy to completely forget the most important thing of all... you're alive.  And you will be really happy again."

via

  "Did you know, Meghan, that it's perfectly OK, even highly ideal, to claim all is well amongst doubt and confusion? To be happy in spite of challenges? To laugh at problems? Dance without a partner? Sing without a rhyme? Talk to inanimate objects?  Go for it!"

"Meghan, don't let appearances keep you from seeing the obvious: your nature is joy, you were built for success, and money, honey, grows on trees."

via

 "What if every wrinkle, scar, or gray hair only made you more beautiful? What if every tear you've shed, mistake you've made, and challenge you've faced, only drew you closer to the light? And what if, Meghan, for every breath you've taken, every sentence you've spoken, and every path you've chosen, your fans in the unseen multiplied?  Well, I'd say it's about time you found out."

via

   "Guidance, attention, help, maybe. Love, always. Criticism, never. What to give others, Meghan." 

And lastly... my favorite--

"Meghan, sometimes, in hindsight, it may seem that your prior kindnesses were for naught, and that in the end, they were too high a price to pay for the pains you've endured.  That is, of course, until you get a little further into the future, when the pendulum has been allowed its full swing, and all the seeds you've sown have begun blooming in more gardens than you ever knew existed.  Kindness ALWAYS returns."

Silver Linings

 "The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.  So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger, but in wisdom, understanding and love."

"Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood."

Friends-

Even if it's only for today, I beg you, be kind to yourself and know that although everything may not happen for a reason, you can MAKE a reason for everything.

Kindly and with LOVE-

Meghan

Just a Dream

Last night, I dreamt that I saw you
In a car-window's reflection,
But you did not see me.
...
Your hair was at its best
-curly and wild-
As it shone in the morning light.
...
Your lips were slathered in their typical tone,
Just as glossy as I’d remembered.
-I smiled-
I couldn’t believe how beautiful you looked.
...
You wore your favorite sunglasses,
The ones you no longer have
-but oh well-
Easily replaced.
...
You just stood at your car,
Calculating your next move,
Wracking the endless check-list in your brain.
...
It was as if you had no idea how gorgeous you were
-Like no one had ever told you-
We both know that’s not the case.
It was as if you had no concept of yourself,
Or the space you stood in.
...
When I saw you, it nearly took my breath away
-A reaction I was not expecting-
You just looked so, different,
So, changed,
So, poised.
...
When I saw you, it nearly took my breath away
-Until I woke up and I realized-
You were me.
I was you.

Oh Well.
