What does this statement say to you?
"I'm right where I'm supposed to be"
BE YOU
I’m right where I don’t want to be. I’ve been here before; but as a different person. This time, however, I don’t have the spite, the fear, the sense of entitlement. I’m right where I don’t want to be, but this time it’s good.
To me it means that the combination of decisions you’ve made over your life have lead you here and because of that you need to learn from it before you move on.
There’s probably very little you can do immediately to change your situation so you have to look carefully at it and learn the lesson you need to learn before you can move forward.
Another great thread laurie!
This statement is a pretty powerful one for me. Basically I think it’s about acceptance and being in the moment.
You are where you are and you can’t change the path you’ve taken that got you here. Good or bad you need to accept this fact and look forward to what you can do.

Lee, I agree with your interpretation. For me, it is that And one of gratitude.
We are where we are ..and it always could be a worse place. Therefore where we are is wonderful.
I was coming home from work last night—thinking—I was tired..lots to do..where to start..attitude..
Across the street from my condo—many fire engines were swarming around another high rise. It was going up in high flames. I’ve only heard one report so far—but I’m going to look into it further…But what I had heard was enough for me! An 11 month old baby died in the fire. So many had their places destroyed. Me and my “so- much-to-do list”… became insignificant.

Also, one day, I will tell you more..but I once had a very strange health crisis—among the many things —my sleeping and eating (couldn’t taste and had zero appetite) affected. Today I sleep soundly, and totally recovered from that time—/So today, when I feel tired, I thank the Lord—that I sleep like a baby..and all food simply tastes like a gift. In the past—I would’ve been frustrated when I was sleepy and things to do. Today, I simply say, oktime to ease up..my body says time for a nap.
And while experiencing that health crisis was the worst for me—It led to my ability to be grateful for EVERYTHING. I do believe the best is yet to come..and affirmations tell us to anticipate that best; I also believe I am right where I’m supposed to be for it all to have the context for an intense wonderful lasting wisdom.
Trust me, I don’t want to repeat the harsh places that got me to have any meaning in my life..I simply believe things happen for a reason. And not all terrible things are always terrible (in hindsight).
BE YOU
laurie, I totally agree. Gratitude, appreciation and perspective are incredibly important! I’m so glad you brought them up.
I was just listening to some Bob Marley, he had such a way with words. From his song Try Me
“Where I am, that’s where it’s at”
it reminded me of this thread :)

For 2009, I seemed to be focused on this topic again; being right where I’m supposed to be. More and more this seems to mean appreciating the now; all of it. I would love to hear more from others on how 2009 relates to living from here; here in the moment. And of course that still can incorporate change and improvement.

Lee and I have made a resolution to make more on this point. Creating a place that is more in line with where we want to be, a place that feels more like where we feel inside. This is physical and emotional and spiritual, but we are beginning with the physical – changing our environment. More on this later as plans come to fruition.
This is a topic that I like to play with from time to time. I dream of living on the coast. There is no place like the ocean and beach for me. The rhythmic sound of the waves and seagulls put me in such a relaxed state of being. I feel like I’m “home” whenever I am there.
However, I live in Kansas. TOTALLY LANDLOCKED!! Since my dad is in his late 80’s and I moved here from San Francisco, to spend quality time with him in his later years, I am committed here. My children are attending fabulous schools and getting a good education from caring people. It is inexpensive to live and has afforded me to live a comfortable life.
This leads me to feel very torn at times. I really want to be FAR AWAY from Kansas and back to a coastal area. However, this is where my life is now for the foreseeable future.
This is where any advice would be appreciated. I don’t feel a connection to the area and have yet to make friends. I have a lot of excuses why I don’t. The business takes up too much of my time. It is a lot of work to keep up a house and three small children. I don’t really believe in a dogmatic religion, but am very spiritual – which is not tolerated here in the Bible Belt. I know that I am the only thing between me and feeling like this place is home and where I belong NOW. Any words of wisdom?
I am living in many dimensions at once; the appearance of being trapped in time and space is only an illusion.
