Break The Curse

So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on the pole.  Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived."  Numbers 21:9

Lots of people say they believe in luck.  I prefer Oprah's definition, "preparation meets opportunity".  You need both of those things.  It makes sense to me to prepare for something while you're waiting for the opportunity to be successful.  God's blessing allows for those two things to meet at precisely His right time.  I also believe that God allows for the "law of attraction".  What you put out to the "universe" or God, comes back to you sometimes 10-fold.  Put out goodness and love, get goodness and love in return.  I think that's what the author is talking about in today's meditation as he tells the reader to break the cycle by changing the image or vision you have of yourself.

I treated myself to a pedicure this morning so that I could "give myself permission" to read the only magazine I subscribe to on a regular basis.  There's a great photo in there that I came across of a women climbing between two giant Sequoia trees in her bare feet with a remarkable quote, "No great thing is created suddenly.  There must be time.  Give you best and always be kind."  by Epictetus a Greek philosopher.  Across the top of the page was "Live Your Best Life".  Again, as in days prior, it is not lost on me that these visual clues are coming at me as I work my way through this "Best Life" year.

I think I'll tear the page out of the magazine and frame it for my office.  Maybe I should start one of those vision boards and see what theme evolves. In the meantime, though, I'll just enjoy how good my feet feel!

Have a "Best Life" Day!
