Sometimes life can seemingly become overwhelmingly so large that in order to consume any bit of it, you must make the conscious decision to contract to be effective in meeting the current Greater needs right now, where you presently stand. To contract your world, you condense it and go small, you decrease it in range and reach, you take it in bite sizes.

Often times, you are the only person aware of those Greater needs. And more than often, you are the only person who needs to be aware of those Greater needs, although some may notice you ‘moving’ differently, with the appearance of being inconsistent, and some may feel slighted by it. But even more often than that, you are the only person who will put in the effort to meet those Greater needs. And more often than that, you are the one responsible and in charge of the fulfillment of them. 

This, is Good. It will empower you. Sharpen you. Improve your ability to Focus. Help you achieve a Greater sense of Purpose, understanding of yourself and your relationship to and with the Creator.

As you develop a greater capacity and sense that season of deliberately ‘going small’ come to a close, notice the stars aligning and all your needs are met . . . 

You can slowly . . . deliberately . . . begin to e x p a n d again . .

. . taking in the beautiful world that you’ve once known, adding to it the Highest version of yourself and begin to enjoy the pleasure of simply B e i n g and being apart of it all. 

While you might be eager to join the world again, you must first be aware that you’ve changed and many people will notice ‘you different’ and some may simply wonder where you’ve been. While you may provide a response and desire to be received, the best you can do is hope others are Gracious enough to understand and appreciate that you have returned for this season.

But, you will not focus your attention there, on others and their perceptions of you. 

You will focus your attention on appreciating life, the world you Created and the newly realized desires of your heart. As a gift from creating harmony with you and the eternal you, is a perspective that allows your relationships to flow with ease.

But until you reach this point:

B r e a t h e  through it.

It is you who is accountable for your growth, happiness, stability, abundance and joy.
