Mazal tov
Bonjour Friends
On the week-end of February 15, my family and I took our first trip to Orlando to celebrate my 7 years old daughter's birthday, at "The Magic kingdom" of Disney's world.
Hopefully, you are ready for the ride, since this personal event is at the starting point of this new spiritual insight.
As we were strolling the park for hours, in an unusual "Floridian cold", thousands of others people were doing the same. It was Valentine and President day week-end, and the park was "unexpectedly" busy for this time of the year.
Moreover, despite the weather, the crowd, etc....we all waited ( mostly) patiently and happily on line for the enjoyment of a ride or a show that would last for maybe less than two minutes.
When I thought about it, it kind of became funny, and educative at the same time!
It also reminded me of a story that goes like this:
Once upon a time, there was a homeless person without a Pennie, Food or even a roof above his head. There he was, walking the streets in a total physical and mental misery.
One day, (since he had a good heart) he "magically" received from the sky a "Million dollar" check, but he had to wait for a couple of days before he could cash it.
From that moment, he was suddenly happy and a special light started to emanate from him.
During those days, with his new state of mind, better things started to happen for him, taking him out of his previous condition.
What had change? A check?! A piece of paper: a symbol that tomorrow all his suffering would be gone.
Life is often subjective! Isn't it? Everything can change, when "nothing" really did!
Happiness, fulfillment... is not only the result of a physical status.
It starts first and stays in our consciousness.
In that process of knowing that everything would be all right and rising above the"illusion" of our conditions, nothing can replace the kindness and support of a loving teacher.
Those channels of light can take different forms (a book, a guide, a sincere friend...).
Nevertheless, their words are the ones that we can turn to: to comfort us, to make us grow, to make us believe in ourselves more than we usually do.
In my journey, I have been blessed to learn from lots of amazing souls and still do, and i wish you all to do too.
Love & Light always, Ilanit
