Joy in Creating your own Heaven

Several years ago one of my spiritual “sisters” made me really think. She asked me, “if I could paint my perfect heaven, what would it look like?” She went on to suggest that I choose the four most important things for me to have in my personal heaven. What a tough question! However, once I listed what I personally require to define a place as heaven, I made an amazing discovery. I had already created it on earth! That discovery certainly helped me to be more content with the life I had chosen to create for myself.

We then went on to have a discussion of what people believe heaven looks like.
I’ve thought about that over the years and shared with many people. My question to you is, if you haven’t got the four most important things that matter to you in your heaven, what are you waiting for?

So here’s your challenge for yourself today.
List 4 things you would find in your heaven.
List 4 people you would find in your heaven.
List 4 events that you want to do in your heaven.
What color is your heaven?
What smells give you joy that are in your heaven?

Once you do this exercise, you might surprise yourself just as I did. The angels I have around me, I call close friends. Empower yourself. Create your heaven on earth!

'Twenty years from now
you will be more disappointed by the things
that you didn't do
than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails........
Explore. Dream. Discover'
