Morning Meditation from The GratiDude
Down here in Florida we’re fortunate enough to have some of the greatest baseball players on the entire planet descend into our little coastal communities, each spring, for the annual rite of passage known as spring training.
In spring training, the most advanced baseball players that have ever played go back to the very beginning and the basics of what their Little League coaches taught them 10 and 15 and 20+years ago. The fundamentals of throwing, how to position your weight, balance, and hands while batting in the batter’s box, the basic rules of running the bases and what angles to take, etc. etc.
If you have ever played baseball or became a fan, you realize there are numerable intricacies and nuances to the game just like every other sport or game that has ever existed.
It is during this time of the year during what they called the pennant race when all that hard work in the springtime starts to bear real fruit that is meaningful both personally and professionally for those players.
You will hear the TV announcers talk about the picture covering first base on a bun and how those practices are drilled into the players heads during spring training.
When you read this in the morning, it is like a quick refresher, or a morning “Spring Training” to get you focused on the FUNDAMENTALS of Human Experience.
You were getting ready with the fundamentals for your mindset and outlook that will bear fruit in the late afternoon or even in the evening today.
I decided we needed to go back to the basics because the fundamentals are what carry the day and that’s what you need to be a champion in your pursuit of your own personal greatness.
We know definitively that we are all, and that sits between our eyes and at the end of our nose when we close our eyes is a voice and a connection to something much bigger than us.
We are more than suits made of Meat, we are cosmic Divine creatures and portions of our DNA pre-date the existence of this planet itself. You go ahead and explain that to me.
We received so much programming growing up from media schools, churches organizations all over the place and not to mention all of the toxic human beings that have come and gone in our lives with every single one of those experiences, leaving at least a bit of dust of “energetic fingerprint “on our mind, souls or hearts.
We have a lot of remembering to get back to some of our core values and beliefs and concepts of who we are and what we want to do and that can be really challenging.
Your Higher Self
Your Higher Self, or Infinite Self, is guiding these experiences, and here is how Tarah Long explains it in a cool way:
Your Higher Self, or Infinite Self, is guiding these experiences to give you everything you’ve chosen to be and do in this life, and everything you’ve asked for. Yep, you are that powerful. You’ve been incarnated as this beautiful human for an oh so short period of time. You liked it so much you’ve been back again and again and again. You’ve cruised on other planets in other galaxies…and have existed in an infinity of space and time and dimensions. All happening now.
If you really take that in, does it feel powerful? Does it give you some perspective on the current life you’re living? Do you feel the need to blame anyone or anything outside of you, for any experience? It’s your creation, a lovely one. If it’s an uncomfortable creation, it’s a grand opportunity to reclaim your power, your holiness, your wholeness, your Divinity.
There is no right or wrong experience under the sun, it’s simply an opportunity for you to remember yourself.
In the process of living this life and this human experience that we have the blessing to participate in again today we need to remember that all these challenges and difficulties are truly the things that will help us grow and form our perspective and help us live our greatest life possible.
Without these challenges or growth would never be triggered we need to be thankful and appreciative for all the difficult things we go through. Say it to me: “ thank you for my suffering “.
The last major refresher point here is that there are no mistakes(just like the great Bob Ross talked about as he turned a thumbprint into a bush in one of his paintings while stoned to the bone on some Colombian gold with his white man’s Afro and big paintbrush. God bless Bob Ross), only “Lessons or Blessins’” as the GratiDude would say*.
That’s a good check up from the neck up for today for you kids keeping you grounded in the fundamentals like spring training, not trying to get too tricky, crazy, and just laying down the butt and running your butt off to first base with an attitude of gratitude.
*We don’t really KNOW if Bob Ross smoked weed, but everyone kinda thinks so.
Looking At the Evidence We Have:
In an episode of The Joy of Painting, Bob Ross mentions using a “happy little herb” to clean his brush, sparking speculation among viewers. While it doesn’t directly imply that he was getting weed sub boxes every month and it could refer to a type of paint thinner, many have suggested he might be talking about marijuana.
EVERY DAY:
