QUESTION: What’s the matter?
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
Think back to your early school days learning about Physical Science.
What is the definition of matter? do you remember..?
matter /noun/
That which occupies space and possesses rest mass.
Anything that has weight and occupies space.
Iyanla Vanzant presents an interesting perspective in the book, Until Today. Think of all the goings on in the world as “Physical Science” and YOU (yourself) as the “matter”...
So, I ask you again...
What’s the matter? Think about that for a moment...
What do you want? out of life... for yourself... be clear...
Vanzant writes:
The only thing standing between you and exactly what you want is space.
The question is, are you willing to be the matter that occupies this space?
If the obstacle is YOU in this space, YOU hold the power...
In the space that stands between you and exactly what you want, there is the fullness of the universe.
The question is, how do you see the space?
Your Choice: you can fill the space with what you need or what you lack...
In the space of the universe’s fullness that stands between you and what you want, there is an opportunity.
The question is, how are you going to use the opportunity?
Your Choice: realize that you've been given a divine opportunity to change the way you see the space...
“Success is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
Today’s Affirmations: From Iyanla Vanzant's "Until Today"
I open my heart and mind to be aware that I am the matter that matters.
I am devoted to make the best of every opportunity the universe provides.
PREPARATION + OPPORTUNITY = SUCCESS
What are you willing to do?
Don’t miss your opportunity. Be intentional. Encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
