How To Take Stock of Your Life

When you take stock of your life, imagine there is only one way to find yourself.

Presume that when you take stock of your life, your path leads to your heart.  Not to your mind.

Because when you find yourself, you find your mind is in your heart.

By finding your mind in your heart, you’ll discover how to understand all that has ever happened and, primarily, how life has happened to you.

Your heart has maneuvered everything you’ve ever experienced.

You are made by what your heart responds to and what your heart ignores.

But the more you ignore, the more life seems to have no meaning and no accurate identification with what you think about your life, which tells you that you have much living to do yet, if your heart is not in good repair.

Illness in the Heart and Toxic Relationships

When the heart is not in good repair, it suffers from heart illness.  The difference between heart illness and heart disease is about the symptoms of what ails your heart.

Disease is measurable by what is normal and what is abnormal.

Heart illness, however, is about what you can’t see. It disturbs you and causes suffering. The symptoms of heart illness manifest in your relationships with other people.

Toxic Relationships and Heart Illness

Other people also have hearts in various stages of illness and wellness.

As you learn to allow wellness, more people will surround you with wellness.

As you have a toxic effect on others, you will suffer a poisonous effect from others.

Though you may say you are not responsible for the toxic people in your life, the truth is that the more well you become, the less you tolerate toxic people and, therefore, the fewer poisonous people will come around.

The more you tolerate toxins in your blood, the longer they stay and cause a karmic shift from curable to incurable.

Only you decide what is curable and what is hopeless.

This is why you must take stock.

How to Take Stock Of Your Life:

1. Open your mind to the possibility that you are invaded by what the world wants from you daily.

The world around you controls you in very subtle ways.

Subtle ways the world controls you:

• • the way news makes you feel about the world;
  • the way your family tells you what you can and cannot do;
  • the way you force yourself to fit into what the world finds worthy of;
  • by telling you how to dress, how to eat, how to live, and how to love

2.  Open your mind to the idea that some people don’t have your best interests.

Truth Check – Taking Stock of Your Life

• • who works on your psyche to get you to do things you ought not do?
  • who takes advantage of you at work?
  • who is in a drastic form of self-denial, forcing their thoughts down your throat?

Open your mind to the notion that only you can allow this.  Make sure that each person in your life is concerned only with how you might feel if they were to do something against your will.  People who step all over you, without that concern, are the very people who will suck the life right out of you, if you don’t take stock in who you are.

4.  Imagine that you are the greatest mind that ever lived.  This mind is the only one capable of healing disease and curing the world’s ways of dark and impenetrable doom.  This mind is a process of God, and it is contained within you in such a way that calling it forth is the most powerful event you could ever witness in the stillness of your knowing.

Take stock of the mind of God within you. Notice that it has incredible power. Notice that you will one day learn to use it for your own healing.

5.  Learn How to Love

I don’t mean to love unconditionally.  Learn how to love yourself with unconditional acceptance.

Learning this simple task will take stock of everything you ever did and say to those memories, “hey, that’s not such a bad thing.”

Unless you believe that what you’ve done is unforgivable.  In that case, see number six.

6.  Unforgiving the unforgivable.

This is an impossible task.  One cannot unforgive.  Forgiveness is the act of seeing another as a human being that has made a mistake in judgement.  The mistakable judgment means having made someone else unworthy.

This is an act of not seeing that God is contained within each human being, and if that was well received, then the person who received the bitter atrocity would not have suffered under the one who made them unworthy.

Every soul is worthy in the mind of God.

And the mistakes that are made are not only forgiven but they are released into the part of God that is separate from peace.  Peace is what God dwells within, and you dwell within God.  When you have opened your heart, and the heart of God speaks the words of peace, then all is forgiven and even forgotten, because no deed that is forgiven will remain in the memory of God’s sweet surrendering peace.
