Daily Gratitude: Can you choose to ignore the invisible? Sure? You can ignore anything you want. But do so with a definite understanding of the consequences. The other night someone passed away at the home where I volunteer. One thing we have to do after that is clean and disinfect the room to make it ready for the next guest. It’s a tedious task and you sit there and wonder why. Why do you have to wipe everything down (especially handles of cabinets and counters)? Many times the guests haven’t been there that long so things still look clean. It’s so tempting to just ignore those tasks. After all, who would know? It’s only when you realize what the eye can’t see that you recognize the importance of addressing the invisible. There are viruses and bacteria and fungi everywhere and we can’t see them. But if untamed, they can do much damage. We tend to remember this only when we have something like the pandemic occur. People get sick and die – just from the invisible. It’s vital to do this room cleaning. Apply this to your life. Do you know the effect of ignoring the invisible in your own life and body? Do you ever pay attention to what has accumulated inside of you – both in the physical realm and the spiritual realm? When was the last time you did any deep cleaning? There are invisible things inside of you that you need to work on or they may manifest in ways you’ll be surprised at. You may think you can hide (or ignore all of it) because it’s invisible, but you can’t. How much do you complain? How much do you put blame on something external? The law of cause and effect explains how your thoughts bring about all that you experience. Do you want more strife in your life? If not, look within and do your own deep cleaning.
