That Hint of Satisfaction

Sometimes all we need is that little hint of a satisfying thought to expand into great happiness and a sense of wellbeing. Many of us sit waiting for the big moment; the mansion on the hill, the latest model sports car, the high power job, the winning lotto ticket, the new boat, the awesome lover, fifteen-minute of social media fame, the…..the….the….. that we fail to notice the little hints of pleasure that the Universe sends our way.

For a long time, I was guilty of simply waiting for that big thing. I had developed an intimate relationship with the corner I kept looking around. I kept telling myself, I knew it was coming, I knew I had asked the Divine Source for many things, some little, some great and given that the law of attraction had already lined them up for me, they were on their way but in the meantime, what do I do? Do I sit and wait and complain that the Universe was moving too slowly? Do I give up and say that nothing good ever comes my way anyway so why bother? Do I fret and stress, staring angrily when others seem to be getting all of their desires fulfilled? Mind you, I am one of those persons who have never even won a marble at a fair, so it’s not like I should have had much faith in the universe coming through for me on the big things.

Over time, while sitting and waiting, I learned something and it has served me well. It was the ability to experience a satisfying thought and to hold it, allowing it to grow and expand into an entire blissed-out moment. I advise you that whenever you get one, grab it, and enjoy the anticipation of a great event.

Whenever you feel a cool breeze wafting around your hot neck,

Whenever you see the bright smile on a small child’s face,

Whenever you get to throw your tired body onto clean crisp, cool bed sheets,

Whenever you hear the sincere ring in a simple ‘thank you’,

Whenever you taste that hint of spice in a well-cooked meal,

Whenever you experience the warm embrace of your lover,

Whenever you witness the kaleidoscope of colour cast by the setting sun,

Whenever you pause to be grateful for life,

Whenever you walk along the shoreline feeling the gentle waves lap at your toes,

Whenever you connect with your Inner Being through meditation,

These are the small moments that the Divine Source blesses us with. They act like paving stones, preparing us for that big event in our lives. Don’t wait, just hoping to leap to it, enjoy each step along the way.
