From Grateful to Greedy?
Dear Friend,
It took me many years after I moved to the US from Denmark to hear about Black Friday. Not sure why, since it is all over the papers and news and seems to be the day ‘the crowd goes crazy.’ I still didn’t quite know what it meant until one day some years ago, I went shopping on this day in a mall! That was a rude awakening and such a contrast to the sweetness that was shared the day before in the sharing of what we are grateful for.
It went from grateful to greedy! How did those 2 days come to sit right next to each other? Several years ago on black Friday there was a stampede at Walmart, where an employee got trampled to death? How sad is that!
When people are out of touch with their Hearts and are completely identified with the lack in their mind, this behavior is not uncommon.
Unless we consciously are aware of the things we have in our life and express gratitude for them in our own unique way, the world at large mostly lives from and through the mind. And if we don’t pay attention and ‘go a little unconscious’, it is easy to slip into this groove when you are being bombarded from every angle with ‘bargain offers’ ‘must haves’ and ‘buy 1 get 1 free’. Since the mind is based on lack, fear and not having, it is obvious that we think we need more, better and bigger in order to feel complete and fulfilled. So if you get trapped in your mind, be aware that the ads don’t get you … and your money.
I cannot stress enough the importance of committing to your Heart. Every day, take time out to commit your Heart and feel it from the inside out. Listen to it, trust it, follow it and act on it. It doesn’t need any special bargains to be fulfilled. It is fulfillment itself and doesn’t need anything. However, if we are lucky, we can partake in this fulfillment by joining our Heart and letting it fill us up from the inside out, let it overflow our life, so we’ll never run dry.
This is where I want to spend my Friday and let this body and Being be an open vessel for It to spread Its wings and touch every One on earth who yearns for it.
Blessed Friday!
ALL Love,
Pernilla
