The answer in front of you

I’m telling you, kids movies have it figured out. Take a minute and think through a handful of kids movies and the themes they have. Peter Pan, Christmas movies, Mary Poppins, so many of them, especially around the holidays, focus on “just believe”. 'Don’t focus on the how or the why, just believe that something good is meant to be, just trust the magic. And the kids do it! I know so many adults that feel a sense of longing for that child like wonder, and carefree attitude. As adults we get bogged down by responsibility and expectation, and feel there is no time for wonder. But the answer to our stress is exactly that! These movies have been telling us for years, just believe, what would happen if we did just that? What would happen if we opened ourselves up to the highest good that the universe has waiting for us? It sounds a bit scary because it feels as though we are giving up control somehow, but you can’t view it has giving up control, it can’t be viewed as a battle between you and the universe.

Each of our lives is in partnership with the universe (or God or mother nature, or any other name you give to the power higher than yourself). Just as in kids movies, everyone must work together to make the good happen, everyone needs to believe that the universe has our highest good in mind and be willing to accepting the good it is always trying to show us. Allow yourself the child like freedom of being open to the good.
