It was a beautiful, three-story townhouse with a side wall of glass that was right up against the ocean.
I had the most beautiful views.
Everywhere I looked in the home was more beautiful than the last place I looked.
But I wasn't happy. I was waiting to find out what was wrong. How having purchased this home was a mistake.
I went into the shower and noticed it needed to be changed. Something that I hadn't bothered to check before I'd bought the home.
I found a few other small things that needed fixing.
I knew the things that needed to be fixed were all doable and wouldn't cost nearly enough to make the purchase of the home a mistake.
I'd bought it for $115,000. But now I was regretting that I hadn't bothered to negotiate a lower price. I thought, If I'd known about these fixes that need to be made, I would've offered $111,000.
I was surrounded by unfathomable beauty. All this was mine for practically nothing. But I wasn't happy because I kept focusing on the small, unimportant imperfections.
It was the same message I'd gotten in a recent meditation. Something was on my mind and I wanted answers. So before I began to meditate, I asked Sivananda to weigh in on the issue I was concerned with.
The message he gave me is, life is beautiful.
What I understood is, maybe the issue that bothers me exists, but I don't need to align my awareness with that.
Instead, I can focus on all that is good and amazing.
that's a wonderful message.
