Keepers

In sorting out the keepers in your life, you may wish to do a little evaluation as to what they do to enrich your experience. What things enhance your sense of self- worth and the highest expression of your divinity and which are merely there to glorify the ego? Which continue to bring joy to your life and which have lost their luster? As you go about your spring housecleaning, you may wish to let go of the things that no longer serve your highest purpose and those that merely clutter up your environment with pieces of your past life.
When we speak of keepers, we would also suggest that you begin to examine which people you might wish to keep in your life.  Which continue to enrich your experience and which continue to espouse the same worn-out platitudes that you have grown beyond. Does it feel like a broken record when you are with them with the same old tune playing over and over or are you constantly stimulating and growing with each other as new ideas and perceptions feed each other’s awareness? Are you willing to move on in your relationships or is there old business still waiting to be played out? Time to reassess what feeds your soul and what has served its purpose.

We might also suggest that you go a little deeper to reveal the inner motivations of those you choose to bring into your circle of awareness.  Who do you admire and wish to emulate because of the soul qualities they demonstrate in their lives? Who may possess knowledge and insights far beyond your own that might help educate and inform in ways that are uplifting as well as informative? What is to be gained and what is to be sacrificed in each encounter in your life? Do the positive aspects of a relationship outweigh the costs? Few will be all negative or all positive. Is the expenditure of energy in dealing with the negative worth the enrichment of the positive? Time for honesty and a willingness to confront those who challenge you to reach higher.

As the sands of time shift lower, all are being called to remove the impediments to growth and understanding. By removing the things that block your path, you free the flow of energy into more productive venues. If the things and relationships that you cling to require your energy to keep them all running smoothly, you would be wise to see if they still serve you. Things that require constant attention should be those that enrich and support your experience.

Removing the irritants or impediments in your life is a constant process of refinement and discernment. The screens of the filters are becoming increasingly narrow. By removing the things in your life that slow down the flow, you continue to fine-tune the process of awareness and understanding. Take time to sit in a meditative and contemplative process and allow the pieces of your life to flow past in total objectivity. Those that no longer serve you or require a distracting amount of energy without significant benefit should be discarded if your commitment is to personal growth.

The keepers in life are few but the rewards for extricating yourself from the quagmire of distractions are great.  Be strong, objective, and courageous and you will soon be able to bask in the awareness of understanding of the flow of life without limits. Sail on…

I AM
