This morning I went for my normal walk/run in the park. The trail weaves through nature and allows me to get grounded and connected.
Today I was thinking about a quote that Abraham-Hicks uses frequently. They state with their great humor: “Life should be happy, happy, happy, dead.”
With each step I took, I stated my version of it by saying “happy, happy, happy grounded” which I felt was more appropriate for my walk than ending it with dead. You see, I’d arrived at the park in need of getting in a better mood so I was reaching in my tool bag to try anything to help me get there.
Then up ahead I saw two younger males. One of them was crouched down on an embankment to the side of the trail looking intently for something on the ground. His uninterested friend was casually watching. As I got closer I was wondering what in the world he lost.
Just then he excitedly snatched something out of the ground—and turned to me with the biggest grin.
“Have you ever found a four leaf clover before?” he asked while holding a huge one in his hand like a picked flower.
Now, as a child I used to sit in the grass for hours and try to find a four leaf clover. I saw others find them- even one of my best friends did who then brought it in to school for show and tell.
I would visualize myself finding one and being so happy about it—dancing and celebrating with everyone. But, it never happened.
Even as an adult if the opportunity presented itself I would peer into a clump of clovers…looking for the good luck charm that would forever change and bless my life.
It would be fair to say that over time I developed a belief that the elusive four leaf clover was not to be found.
And now Murphy (name on the back of his t-shirt) was holding one in his hand asking if I’d ever found one.
“No,” I said, shaking my head.
“Well then, you can have this one! I find them all the time!” Murphy eagerly said then extended his arm.
He finds them all the time. I smiled thinking about how he owned that belief on every level and how easy it must be for the Universe to guide him to them at every turn.
I enthusiastically accepted it, thanked him and declared out loud that I knew it was now going to be a great day– and continued on the trail.
I didn’t have to go looking for it anymore. After all this time, it had found me.
Is there something in your life you’ve been unsuccessful in achieving after putting much effort and desire into the search? Well, maybe it’s time to release and let go of the outcome. It might just find you.
