Published: March 18, 2021, 12:57 p.m.

Do you believe everything that comes into your life, you attract? The good, the bad, the ugly? I do ...now, but I didn’t always. And I know from my experience arriving at this knowing, that accepting responsibility for everything that shows up in our lives can be a tough pill to swallow. Obviously some of the things which show up in our lives (like the bad, and perhaps the ugly :) we don’t intend to attract. But as I’ve learned, the process of creation works the same whether we are employing it deliberately or not. 2 weeks ago I got a bad burn. Like, bad. The worst I can remember, maybe the worst I’ve ever had. In this episode of Calibrations, I share the circumstances around “the burning”, the process I went through to understand how it was I attracted this experience and ultimately, what it was here to teach me. In a nutshell: Perception truly is everything; it 100% shapes our reality. We can choose to look at things in our lives as happening to us or happening for us. We can choose to see challenging events as evidence of our “bad luck” or as an opportunity for growth,. The feelings we experience in every moment …. elation, sadness, frustration, peace, empowered, disempowered … they are simply the result of our interpretation of the experience - not the experience itself. As we learn more about who we truly are and this beautiful, orderly Universe in which we live, we expand our awareness and more perspectives become available to us. We begin to realize that, in all situations, every emotion is available to us - and with study, courage and a bit of practice, we can give ourselves permission to choose any one.
