Do you taste the sweetness of life?…
sweetness taste life

How sweet are you and do you taste that sweetness in your life? I’ve been contemplating these questions, as this topic has come up a bit in recent times… In a world that has been become rather sour, what does it mean to be sweet and what would sweetness taste like? Do I show sweetness through by bodily actions – through my attitude – is there proof of this in my relationships?…

You know, whatever we constantly think about is what we move towards – thought is energy and given enough energy, our thoughts will make their way into our world – Isaac Newtons 1st law of motion explains how this works… “An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force”… In other words, if I keep thinking in the same way – unless I consciously intervene and change direction – those thoughts will become my words and actions. Having this understanding, I may as well think about what I want rather than about what I don’t want – think about who I am, rather than who I’m not. If I want harmony and contentment in my life – to taste all of life’s abundant sweetness – I must consistently create thoughts that not only align with this desire, but put those thoughts into deliberate action to make it a reality… One baby step at a time!

Something I love to give individuals is a free ‘Virtue Scope’, it’s a 12 month reading based on their own Virtues. It reminds them of their inner beauty and enables them to stay on track, when applied. Interestingly, if they draw the Virtue card of ‘sweet’ they often cringe, seeing it as a weakness or because they simply couldn’t imagine themselves to be sweet – yet others still are taken by complete surprise. What is it about being ‘sweet’ that many find so difficult to accept? Have we removed ourselves so far away from our inner beauty that we no longer recognise it? Have we compromised our inner sweetness for so long that we can’t even remember it, let alone, how to use it? Have we become so sour or even bitter, that this is all we know life and relationships to be? If we can’t imagine ourselves to be sweet or indeed see it as a weakness, how could we possibly turn an ordinary life into an extraordinary one – how could we possibly taste the succulent sweetness of life?

Many say of negativity and disempowerment – “I can’t help it, that’s who I am” – actually, that’s NOT who we are, that’s who we’ve become. We believe this to be completely ‘normal’ but by no means is it natural – our natural state is that of peace and love, and of being very sweet. Change is not about becoming someone else, it’s about returning to our original form, our authentic essence. So the good news is that change is possible, it doesn’t have to be difficult and it’s NEVER too late. But change does start with me, today – no matter how small my baby steps may be.

You know, our environment is a direct reflection of our inner world, and sweetness is such a beautiful inner Virtue to own. Be proud of your sweet nature, display it daily in your attitude and watch the magic of sweetness increase in every area of your life. Choosing to remain sweet inside, to make daily effort to return to our sweet essence – to change – is a much easier and enjoyable way to journey our way through life. Becoming sour, bitter or even salty is a choice, therefore I choose sweetness because that is who I AM!

Question: Does your inner sweetness reflect in your external world?

Consideration: Why might you not see clear external results or proof?

Action: Every time you catch yourself thinking, saying or doing something negative or wasteful – STOP, BREATHE… and change it to something positive and uplifting. Pay attention to your inner strengths, rather than to your weaknesses. Nurture and strengthen the quality and value of your thoughts, which in turn become empowered actions and reap successful results. Keep doing this until your attitude becomes equal to your original nature of being sweet.
