A couple of weeks ago I had to go to the library to return a book. It was a very hot day and as I approached the library my usual parking spots right across from the library (and right in the direct noon day sun!) were not available because of some street maintenance.
So turning the corner I pulled into a parking spot that was completely shaded by a beautiful tree. Wow, that worked out well.
Walking back to the corner to cross to the library the light turned green my way just as I reached the curb.
Crossing the street, I spoke these words spontaneously and out loud. “Everything always works out for me.” And I smiled to myself and thought, “That’s the truth.”
It certainly wasn’t always so. At times I’ve struggled with the idea of creating intentions and affirmations. I’d say them but there would be a kind of disconnected feeling, like they didn’t hit me where I lived.
This experience was very different. The words and the feeling matched. And ironically I said them a few days later when I was driving somewhere in a hurry and hit a red light. As I sat in my car waiting for the light to turn, the words popped out and I realized that once again they were true. I’d been rushing, my breath was shallow, and sitting waiting for the light to turn green brought me back to the present moment, allowed me to take a few deep breaths and proceed feeling more aligned with myself.
So for today’s thought, it’s really more of an affirmation slash intention. It can work for both.
Everything always works out for me.
