Position

Sometimes, I feel like I should be further along than I am. I tend to forget my past accomplishments and only focus on what's not working now. It's easy to forget yesterday's victory. It's easy to not notice all the progress you've made. Sometimes, we forget the destination and only see our current position. Our perspective on our position needs to change. Think of your position as preparation for your next victory. You are gaining skills you will need in the next season of your life. Maybe you are being taught a lesson in patience. Maybe you are in the midst of a season of rest because you never take the time to when you are busy. Maybe you are recovering from a setback or a breakup. Whatever position you are in, there is a purpose. You may not understand it now, but in time you will. Learn today's lesson. Gain a new perspective, and play your position. 

Insight

There are certain movies I can watch over and over again. Each time I watch the movie, I notice something I missed the previous time. I gain a better understanding, a different perspective, or deeper meaning about the film. People are like films. You can watch them over and over again and notice something you missed the previous time. I know, first impressions are lasting impressions, but is that always true? Have you every jumped to a conclusion about a person or a situation to later find out that you were wrong? Have you ever taken the opportunity to get to know someone and found out that you really never knew them at all? People are like onions, too. They have layers. It takes time to peel back all those layers and really get to know someone. I'm not saying to ignore your intuition. I am saying take the time to get a better understanding, or a different perspective. Gain some insight!

Higher Love

"There's levels to this." We've all heard that phrase, and there is some truth to it. We know that puppy love doesn't compare to your first love. Your first love may have been a high school sweetheart. Most of us don't marry our first love. Congrats to those of you who have been able to find love on the first go round. For many of us, it takes years to ferment that kind of wine. We bite into many apples and taste a lot bitter grapes before we learn how sweet love can be. It takes a while before we even ask for a higher love. Higher love elevates our expectation of what we want and desire for ourselves. Higher love challenges our feelings. Higher love changes your perspective. Most importantly, higher love changes you.
