My Epiphany

[Shin'Ar]

I had my own epiphany recently.

I had just come home from my manual labour job and was in a terrible mood. I was frustrated about working all day and still not having enough money to pay rent on time. I was upset that I didn't have the "cool" lifestyle I've always yearned for, that I had never completed my degree, that I lived in a 2 room apartment with a leaky bathroom, and so on and so forth.

In this negative frame of mind I plopped down on my bed. My girlfriend could tell I was upset and came over to comfort me and my cat also came and curled up on top of my chest. So there I was, in a terrible mood yet completely surrounded by love, and just then a clear voice interrupted my whiny train of thought and said simply "Be thankful to God for what you have." I was floored, it definitely didn't seem like something I would think of under normal circumstances . . . but the voice was absolutely right! I looked around and realized that I have everything I need in this life.

Since then I have had a powerful feeling of love in my heart for everything I look upon. I feel like a completely different person and am no longer afraid to identify myself as a spiritual person. I just can't seem to worry about anything anymore!

Spaced,

You might want to consider going to the wanderer board and posting a brief intro of yourself so we can all know some thing about you. or even a pic in the inevitable picture thread in the olio board. Thats where most of us have our pics listed.
