Weekly Challenge Which do you prefer a full or empty parking lot?

Which do you prefer? A full or empty parking lot? If you drive, I'm sure you have experienced pulling into a parking lot or garage that is pretty full. You need to park for a meeting, shopping, an appointment or whatever the occasion but parking is a necessity, right? 


With a full lot, there are two stances you could take:

1) GREAT! I'm running late, I don't have time for this, my patience is running thin, look at "those people", they took up two spots!! You get the idea here.

2) OK, this could be fun...I could use the exercise, let me find a space far from where I need to be, I WILL find a spot and angels, please help me to find a parking space!!

An empty lot can lead to some questions such as:
Did I get the date wrong? Are they open? Where is everyone?
An empty spot can also lead to a sense of ease with little to no stressors, right?
In any case, you may be missing out on some of the fun that is in store for you in being (cohabitation~the angels note) with others.
 
 
This week, the angels ask which lot you prefer and why? Are you isolating from others or situations because it feels easier, more comfortable? Have you made a concerted effort to put yourself into the full lot and continue to see the good and fun a full lot can offer? The angels LOVE metaphors as you may notice!!
 
 
Consider going into the full parking lot and bring to light the perspective you have while there. This is not a physical exercise, more of a way to ask you to consider how you handle yourself in spaces that are comfortable and convenient verses those that take effort and in these situations what your natural response might be. In other words, we are being asked two things this week:
 
 
1) Put yourself into a situation(s) you are not comfortable with. What is your natural response and act as an observer. Is your perspective the entire truth?
2) Notice when you are in a place(es)/situation(s) of comfort and safety. What makes this comfortable for you? Is your perspective the entire truth?
 
 
In the words of the angels:
Cars drive to bring you from place to place. Use this device to be your messenger. See your situation from a new perspective where you can expand your teaching. We see you are wanting change but creating change also requires looking at things as they truly are. What does your mind tell you and is it in alliance with your heart? Do you see the good in any situation or is there fear associated of the unknown? Your hearts will is stronger than your mind if you allow comfort from this exercise and angel guidance to support your heart. We love you child. Be in the full lot. Explore this fully as you are ready.
