What if I have too much?

What if it is OK to have everything I want but over the years I have amassed a lot? What if I have six houses but rarely have time to enjoy any of them and just write checks each month to the gardeners, pool people and housekeepers? What if I have so many antiques that my home looks like a store and the dusting job is overwhelming? What if I have so many shoes that I can never find the ones I want to wear? What if I have such a great quantity of food that it is just rotting in my cabinets and garage before I can use it? What if I have 12 cars and the batteries are wearing down because I do not have time to drive them all? What if I have too much money and now my time is filled with accountants and checking statements but I worry that someone will steal it so I bury myself in the paperwork? What if I love animals but now my home is overrun  with too many and I do not have the time to give them the care or attention they deserve? What if I amass so many friends but do not have enough time to enjoy any of them?

What if I begin to simplify my life and get a little more balance and instead of accumulating more, find joy in de-cumulating a little each day and watch as life just gets better and better?

What if we could not get in?

What if in the United States, we are creating a big Karma and those generations in the future will have to deal with it?

What if a shift happens and both Mexico and all of South America become THE best places to live on this continent but we North Americans are not allowed across the border and if we do manage to cross somehow, we are looked down on and only given menial jobs to support ourselves?

What if he took the scary, steep path?

What if a friend and I are both in the process of getting loan modifications and we started about the same time?

What if I have been making my payments and sending paperwork and waiting patiently for an answer for the last 6 months?

What if he stopped making his payments and continually scrambles to find paperwork they request and get last years taxes done and is terrifying himself when the foreclosure letters come and the sale pending signs are posted on his door?

What if we have differnent ways of doing things and different things to learn?

What if I like calm and he thrives on drama?

 

What if hair loss is a belief?

What if as I was sitting at the foot of my good friend during her chemo treatment, the thought came to me: could hair loss during chemo be just a belief?

What if we were told by our doctors and nurses and pharmacists, who were trying to be helpful and informative, that we would surely lose our hair, and so after chemo we kept checking our head throughout the following weeks and each time we saw a strand fall out, which might be just natural, we knew it was coming?

What if because we focused so much on our hair loss and got scared of it happening and tightened up our scalp in fear that we actually created this loss?

What if we just could not get on top of this long-standing belief and our hair fell out?

What if we relaxed and focused on something that brought us joy and happiness and appreciation of our life?

What if I spoke softly?

What if I softened my approach when I am communicating with another person whose ideas I feel are incorrect?

What if instead of saying, “You are wrong, that will never work,” I said, “That is an interesting way of seeing it and we could also try this as well,” and then really listened to them?

What if improving my communication skills made my life much easier and we both got what we wanted?

What if their way really was the better way?

What if you are clutching tightly?

What if you find yourself clutching tightly to something or someone that you fear will go away if you let go?

What if because your grip is so strong, you crush what you were trying to hold on to?

What if because you are holding on so tightly, you are unable to open your hand to receive anything else?

What if when you release your grip, the thing you were holding falls away and soon you are able to hold something even better?

What if it is all about trusting that whatever you need is there for you to have?

What if I chose the hard way?

What if someone we know has gone in a hard direction and gotten themselves into some bad trouble and is struggling right now?

What if instead of talking with others about their poor choices or pitying them, we send them love and compassion and friendship and hope?

What if we visualize them under a golden spotlight every time we think of them so they could see their path more clearly and find their way more easily?

What if we knew they were on their perfect Divine path for their highest learning in this lifetime and that everything is as it should be?

What if I went to a party?

What if I went to a loving family gathering and overheard a person bad-mouthing someone that I love?

What if I wanted to hurry over to some of the other people at the party and begin bad-mouthing that “bad” bad-mouther but as I was on my way to begin this, I caught myself and thought, “I will then be the same as the person I am annoyed with,” and I changed my thinking and went on to have a good and positive time?

What if I become forgiving?

What if forgiving you frees me?

What if because I am angry with you, I stay all tied up in your energy and every time I talk or think about the situation, I recreate it and get mad all over again and eventually begin to make myself ill?

What if I could accept the concept that I am creating my life and all the experiences in it, to learn about myself? What if these frustrating people who come into my life are really great teachers and how can I stay mad at a teacher?

What is my natural state?

What if it is our natural state to be happy and have an enjoyable life?

What if we are the ones who cover this up with our sadness, disappointment, worry, fear, greed, stress or anger?

What if I cannot be happy and sad at the same time and I “pick” happy?

What if we release all of this competition and striving and negativity and just enjoy our time here?

What if your belief comes true?

What if you believe that your housekeepers always break your things and do the job half way and even steal your stuff and when you hire them they break your things and do the job half way and steal your stuff?

What if I believe that the people I hire to help me in my home are great gifts who will take the best care of my possessions and clean in places I miss and leave my home energy feeling even better with their presence and they do?

What if what I focus on, I create?

What if she talked on and on?

What if I have a friend who talks endlessly about herself and rarely takes a breath so others can “have the ball” in the conversation?

What if because others never “get the ball” they choose not to play with her and shy away from her friendship leaving her with fewer and fewer people to talk to and so she talks more and more to the few who will listen?

What if this sweet soul needs and deserves attention and acknowledgment but she never allows the space for others to give it to her?

 

What if we create the other side too?

What if I believe that I create my life and my world on this side of the veil with my thoughts and beliefs?

What if when I die, I continue to create how my afterlife will be?  What if those who believe in heaven and hell will create a heaven and hell for themselves? What if those who believe that this will be the end will create the end for themselves? What if those who believe that life will be a continuance of here will create a similar experience of here?

What if there was a new law in the Universe?

What if it became a universal law that when a person was running for office and they degraded their opponent, he or she would be immediately disqualified from running?

What if this new way of doing things made them as well as all of the voters focus on the good things that each had done and the great things they hoped to achieve and because of this focus, more good was done?

What if my significant other is driving me crazy?

What if I have a spouse, a child, a co-worker or a friend who is DRIVING ME CRAZY with some of their “awful” personal characteristics?

What if I sit down and make a list all of their negative qualities and then look at the list and go, “OH NO” because I also have these same qualities?

What if I list all of their positive qualities and then see that I have the same positive qualities?

What if I realized that I could not see a quality in another if I did not have that quality in myself?

What if I loved myself?

What if, as my dear friend, I treated you with respect and dignity and honor and did all that I could to make your life happy and fun and put your needs on top priority and admired your achievements and nurtured and encouraged your goals and soothed your pain and listened to your desires and really loved and cared for you?

What if I did the same for myself and made myself my best friend?

What if I met a homeless person?

What if when you look into the eyes of a homeless person asking for money on the sidewalk, you are actually looking into the eyes of one who is here to teach compassion? What if you could bless them as you pass even if you have nothing to give but a smile or a good wish?

A woman recently came to me in a supermarket parking lot and I thought she wanted my basket but when I looked into her clear blue eyes, I knew she wanted money. As I gave her some, I told her that she was an angel who had come to help me appreciate my life even more. I told her that we could very easily be in each others shoes, me asking her for help. We hugged and I felt like I was walking on clouds all day.

What a gift she gave me.

What if the cook’s mom died?

What if the waitress just had a fight with her boyfriend and she is still furious? What if the cook’s mom just died and he is filled with grief? What if the hostess cannot pay her bills and she is racked with fear? What if all of these emotions go into the food we are being served at the restaurant?

What if before we begin eating our meal, we bless the food and ask that only the food that is for our bodies’ highest good be absorbed and the rest be easily eliminated?       Dr Ciri

What if I had planned for weeks to go with some friends from out of town to a beautiful location, and when we arrived there was nowhere to park and we drove in circles for awhile but a parking space never became available?

What if instead of getting angry or frustrated, we knew that the Universe was leading us to another location that was even a better place to enjoy and spend our time?

What if we listened and had a marvelous day filled with laughter, love and good food at the new surprise location?

What if I slipped and found myself judging you and thinking harsh thoughts about why you do not do better with yourself?

What if I stopped and took a breath and put myself, as best as I could, into your shoes and tried to see life from your perspective and found that you are doing the absolute best that you can with the knowledge and resources and beliefs and history that you are working with?

What if I took another breath and began mining all of the amazing qualities that I see in you?

What if he is of one political party and reads the newspapers and watches TV and gets all riled up and red-faced and curses at the members of the opposing party and calls them crooks and liars and scoundrels?

What if she is of the other political party and screams back that his people are losers and morons and idiots and can’t he see that they will ruin the world?

What if these two nice people cannot even enjoy a meal together because of someone they have never met nor will ever meet – isn’t that absurd?

What if I smile like Mona Lisa?

What if by doing all of this soul exploration, I finally have a core belief that all is well and whatever I need is on its way to me effortlessly and that amazing things I could not envision are about to happen and my easy job now is just to be happy and appreciate the great things that have happened and that are happening each day?

What if because of this belief I have a secret smile that I cannot remove?

What if I inspired your great grand-child?

What if I am on this planet to gently inspire and guide others through tough times so they can find their way and they can gently inspire and guide others through tough times so they can find their way and then they can gently inspire and guide others and on and on through the generations?

What if I am having a stressful, miserable experience manifesting my desire? What if the end result turned out like the journey – miserable?

What if my creation unfolds easily and joyfully and I am so pleased with the outcome – happy?

What if how the journey to get there goes is how the result will be?
