I had the opportunity
to see Arthur Miller's iconic play, An
Enemy of the People. It
was done very well. I can't say I 'enjoyed' it, as it made me very
uncomfortable, especially in this political climate. At the end, as
we were walking out, I told my friend I was having a very hard time
with the ending of the play. There was no resolution, no happy ever
after. She said "It's reality" and that made me even more
uncomfortable.
I
wonder if the fairy tales I read as a child instilled in me the idea
that everything always works out - the girl gets the one she loves,
money magically appears, a new cure arrives on the scene just in
time, etc.
"Everything
will be all right in the end. So if it is not all right, then it is
not yet the end."
The
success of this quote from The
Best Exotic Marigold Hotel proved
to me that we all feel the same way. We want everything to work out.
The
Truth is, every thing does work out -- it just might not work out OUR
way - the way we think it should. There's an element of fear in our
desire to have things go our way. We're afraid if they don't, life
will be hard, or we won't find love, or will end up penniless.
In
times like this, I have to remind myself that there is an Infinite
Intelligence at work here. Everything is working out for the highest
and best for ALL concerned. not just myself. This doesn't stop me
from desiring the outcome I want, but it does relieve me from
disappointment if things don't turn out the way I want them to. I
can let go of my fears, because I know the infinitely intelligent
Mind of God is at work, and in hindsight, I will see that everything
did work out for my highest and best good.
AFFIRMATIVE
PRAYER
We
live in an infinitely intelligent field of creative potential. This
Field is the Mind of God. In this Field is both Love and Law .. love
points the way, and Law makes the way possible.
I
now let go of having to have everything exactly my way. I am ready
to place my desires into the Law with Love, knowing I am working with
Infinite Intelligence, and It is working with me. When ever I start
to feel disappointed in results, I breathe deeply, remember that
everything is working out for the highest good of all, and let go and
let God do Its perfect work. I know this work is done in, through
and as me.
I
rejoice in being a vehicle for the highest good. I am so grateful to
know that Spiritual Law always works. I now release these words
knowing they are so, and so it is.
