What I seek Finds Me

Dear Finder,

In the early years of my 12-year WalkAbout, Wisdom said something to me that became a useful mantra for times when I’m feeling lack, fear of not having enough.

“ What you seek finds you.”

I remember thinking that would make a great T-shirt. It became my go-to reassurance whenever I had that grasping feeling… the fear that what I wanted wouldn’t or couldn’t happen.

That’s the same fear that makes us think we have to work really hard for everything or do the work all by ourselves, right? It’s the same fear that causes weird little niggles of uncertainty and even jealousy when faced with another’s good fortune – when we secretly doubt that our own good fortune will find us.

It’s also the feeling that we aren’t good enough, that we have too many faults and unresolved issues to reap the blessing and rewards that are ours, including what we call enlightenment.

When these feelings and doubts creep in, I’ve found it so useful to say aloud:

“ What is mine finds me.”

When I say that affirmatively, something in me – something that’s always waiting for own my calm certainty – settles right down, replaced by my trust in my life.

Not long after Wisdom gave me that little nugget, I was in an office supply store in New York City. Near the check-out counter was a display of business books and one caught my eye that was popular at that time. It’s called, Who Stole the Cheese?

The title connected creatively in my mind to the saying, What is mine, finds me. It gave me an idea that I went home and drew on my iPad. It tickled me and I shared it with you in an article that I think was called Mouse and Cheese.

Some of you long-time readers of my Musings may remember when I used to share new Mouse and Cheese drawings from time to time. Now you know how that got started. The simple cartoon drawing I’ve used today for this article is that first drawing.

Funnily enough, though, I just realized I haven’t shared the phrase I received from Wisdom that preceded it. What is yours finds you. It’s such a great phrase, very useful. I thought you might enjoy it today, and the story.

It applies to everything, not only our wishes and desires of course. But to all that we seek on the spiritual path as well. Including our own Self-Realization. All that we long for is already begin sent to us as blessings of Fullness, continuously ever moment of every day of our lives. Open to this fully and you will see: What Is Yours Finds You.

You might like to spend a little time before you rise from bed just feeling that Fullness pouring into your life. Then, say aloud,” What is mine finds me.” Connect briefly like this each morning and watch how that transforms your day over time.

Much love,
