Expansion is Wonderful

Expansion is what we are all doing in every second of our day. It’s why we are here. Some call it ‘learning lessons’, some call it ‘my purpose’ or ‘my soul path’. It is the basis of Law of Attraction - seeing what you don’t want causes you to know what you do want - and in that moment, there is expansion. A new desire, a possibility of change, growth.

But we humans dance this dance of doing everything in our power to resist change, to resist expansion. We fight and kick and stamp our feet to hold on to the belief that maintaining the status quo is happiness, is correct, is serving ourselves and our communities.

We are taught from an early age that change is chaos, change makes you different, you will become something unrecognisable and threatening if you change. Your loved ones will lose you - because of course, they are being sensible and doing everything they can to resist change, resist growth. If you change and grow, you will be responsible for their unhappiness.

When you see it out loud, it seems absurd doesn’t it?

Expansion is as natural as breathing - in fact it is breathing. What do your lungs do when you breath in? They expand. Now that didn’t hurt, did it?

But why should we want to co-operate in this expansion stuff? Surely it’s easier to buy into the ‘reality’ that growth equals chaos?

Expansion is always into a better feeling place. When you reach for love, that’s expansion. When you feel excited by a new idea, that’s expansion. When you feel satisfaction at a job well done, that’s expansion. When your child gives you a hug and you smile, that’s expansion. When you plant spring bulbs in the wintertime in the anticipation of beauty in the spring, that’s expansion. When you help your neighbour, that’s expansion. When you sit down to a meal with all your family together, that’s expansion. When you learn something new, that’s expansion.

Whenever you feel better, feel good, feel happy, feel joy - that’s growth and expansion.

As simple as that. And the wonderful truth is that...the more you expand, the more you expand. The more you choose to expand and have these better feelings, the more experiences and people and situations will come to you which allow you to expand.

Joy, love, abundance, enthusiasm, hope aren’t dangerous or painful feelings. They are the natural basis of our expansion and growth. Anything else is resistance and resistance is painful and exhausting. Even one moment of Joy in your day will expand you beyond your wildest dreams.

And Joy can be found in the most unlikely places, just make the choice and allow it to steal over you. Let it lead you into expansion and growth and the life you truly want.
