A Place to Live

If there are things that are missing in your life, ask yourself this question. Have you given those things a place to live?

The person who has many friends is the person who has made a place for friendship in her life. The person who is amazingly knowledgeable is the person who has made a place for learning in his life.

In order to receive a delivery at your home, you must tell the delivery service where to take it. In the same way, for the best things in life to be yours, you must provide a space within your life where they can arrive.

Make a place in your life for love, and love will certainly fill it. Make a place within your life for joy, and joy will soon be there.

Create the time, the space, the energy, the interest, the passion and the commitment in your life for whatever it is you seek. And the things you seek will begin to inhabit the

places you have made for them.

Give the best things in life a place to live within yourself. And you'll soon find those things filling your world.

Ralph Marston

I found this essay very thought provoking. I thought about all the stuff I have made a place for in my life and how I don't want it there. I think of how until recently I had pushed all creative pursuits out my life. I was so caught up in doing things for my family, that I stopped doing things for me. I have determined to change that and find so much joy in digiscrapping. I also (gasp) enjoy blogging at times. And its always helpful to journal...sometimes even if no one reads it but me.
