Nature is abundant in everything

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”

It’s a beautiful day to be alive. There is so much to be thankful for, even if sometimes it might not feel that way. As with everything, we can choose how we think about what we see and hear. Process everything in a way that serves your health and well-being and make it a day to remember. It’s the only one of its kind.

Earthquakes – It was notable when Nevada felt a 6.5 earthquake on Friday morning, the largest recorded there in 65 years. It’s not an area we normally think of when talking about earthquakes, but apparently it is the third most seismic state. It just hasn’t been doing much for a long time. Just when you get comfortable, something comes along and rattles your cage. Kind of how life goes…

Numerology and Life – So much of what we do revolves around numbers. Computers run on numbers, and we mark the passage of time in days and hours and minutes, all based on numbers. The study of numerology is fascinating and can give some insight to the overall energy felt during certain periods.

This is a 4 year, 2020 reduced to that number by adding 2 + 2. Each month brings a different number, and May is the fifth month so adding that to the year produces a 9. From the article Your May 2020 Numerology Forecast Calls for Major Changes – “The 9 represents the ending of a cycle. All the energy being felt during this month has been building up since March, which was our month 7. This is because the energy of the 7, followed by the 8 and 9, marks a great transitional period in numerology. This is the time when we must let go of what we no longer need in order to create something new. As the Buddha famously said, ‘Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.’ This is the energy of the 9.”

So, what can you let go of right now? Life shouldn’t feel like a heavy burden that we have to carry. We come into the world with nothing, and we will leave in the same way. Let go of as much as possible and live simply. This mindset will make you feel happier in an instant. When you realize that there is nothing to get, you understand that you already have all that you need.

Thought of the Moment – See the good in everything you look at today. Be thankful for the sun, the clouds, the air you breathe and the food that you eat. If you find yourself complaining about something, stop and take a deep breath. Life is too short to waste time finding ways to be miserable when you could choose happiness instead.

Have an incredible day.

“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”
