Getting my nails done is always a treat for me. Depending on my mood, I like getting fun designs with bright colors and I almost always add some glitter for some sparkle. I like it because it makes me feel girly and put together and it's fun to try different color combinations. Yesterday I went to the nail shop for the first time in months.
As I sat in my chair I thought about and decided what design I was going to do this time. Usually I get a hot pink color, which is my fav. But this time I knew I wanted fun and fierce red and gold nails for my favorite football team (Go Niners!) I found a picture from Pinterest that had the similar almond pointy shape with glitter on the tips and showed the lady that was sitting across from me. She nodded and said, “ok, got it.” That was all she said to me. For what felt like a long time she filed and buffed with the drill and filed some more. As I sat there I got lost in my thoughts. I thought about the picture I had of my nails and how they were going to turn out. I was excited to see the transformation my nails were undergoing.
As this lady worked on my nails, I found myself thinking about similarities between getting my nails done to the transformation that’s been taking place in my life in the past and still. Once I decided what I wanted my final product to look like, communicate that clearly to the expert and watch it come together. When I surrender to my Higher Power/God/Universe, things work out much better and many times better than I expected. In my past I would want to control everything but when I let go, I find things go smoother. I’ve learned that I don’t need to know how to get from point A to point B. When I trust my creator things work out how they are meant to just perfectly..
There were many times I have stopped myself from trying something new because I thought I would fail. That’s like me not even stepping in the nail shop in the first place because I assumed it wouldn’t work. Not taking a chance because of the possibility of failure is something that many use to stop themselves from even trying. I’d rather think positively and hope for the best. If something isn’t working, there's always the option to shift. Who knows? What if it does work?! I forgot who said it but whether you say you can or can’t you’re right. So stay positive my friends and just sit back and watch the miracles happen.
I was and still am happy with how my nails turned out. I’m grateful to be awakened and now I look for lessons and blessings even in random places and hopefully help others with my insight.
