BLOOD FROM TURNIPS
“For life makes no mistakes and always gives man that which man first gives himself.” Neville Goddard
It is a known fact that we cannot give what we do not have. I grew up in the country and one of our countrified sayings was “You can’t get blood out of a turnip.” I always thought it was a weird saying. We always had a garden and my childish brain wanted to know why anyone would even think that it was possible. What I came to understand though is that it is impossible to get a result by begging, pushing, or coaxing if the result isn't possible. Thus, you can't get something out of someone who doesn't have it to give. There were many times in my life that I forgot this simple fact. There were relationships where I expected something that the other person was incapable of giving. When we beat our head against a brick wall and expect the wall to change, we only end up with a bloody head. Instead, it is wise to look at our expectations as well as our boundaries. I recently came across a line from a book I am reading which says, “Live ahead of your circumstances.” Hmmm. What the heck does that mean and how do we do it? When I sat with that question, I heard “Your joy is not dependent on your circumstances.” How we live our lives says a lot about how we believe in our ability to rise above anything that challenges us. If we are strong on the inside, that brick wall is not going to defeat us. We will find a way even if it means climbing over it. This is called trust. Trust and expectations are related but distinct concepts. Trust refers to a confident reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something. It is a belief in the reliability and integrity of another person or entity. Expectation, on the other hand, is a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future. The key difference is that trust involves a willingness to be vulnerable based on positive beliefs about another, while expectation is simply a prediction or assumption about a future outcome. Trust requires an emotional component and is more subjective, whereas expectation is more objective and focused on an anticipated future state.
Dear Angels, in taking a deeper dive into how expectations and trust are different yet intertwined, it becomes clearer to me that there is a need to understand both components in our lives. My whole life has been a lesson in trust. It seems the part that gets overlooked is how expectations play a huge role as we live each day.
Dear Ones, know that you are the creator of your reality. You work in partnership with the Divine to manifest how your life unfolds. It is necessary to become clear on your belief system. We have said to you many times that you tend to complicate things. To make this simple, let us remind you that if you think you can, you can. If you think you cannot, you cannot. An expectation would be thinking that a turnip cannot bleed. Trust would be that given the knowledge that blood does not come from that object, it still has the potential to rise above its limitations. Trust is a mindset that lets go of control and allows people and things to transform according to their divine plan. We encourage you to be positive, grateful and willing to accept that miracles come in many forms without limit.
Dear Angels, thank you. I love you. Namaste y’all.
Today, I promise to release expectations and live a life of trust in miracles.
