It’s easy to get excited about certain things: new clothes, an upcoming vacation, a pay raise.
But I’m learning that “excitement” needs to be steered with divine Mind, rather than human mind, otherwise it can lead to disappointment.
The human emotion of excitement is dual. It can go in a positive direction and it can go in a negative direction.
But, we have the ability to steer excitement with divine Mind, with wisdom and integrity. Divine Mind’s influence has the power to prevent our human mind from reacting or overacting, due to excitement. It also keeps us and others from getting hurt.
We read in 21st Century Science and Health, “Calm the excitement sometimes induced by this mental reaction, on the grounds that it is Truth’s method of restoration and purification.”
The words don’t tell us we have to get rid of excitement, or stop ourselves from being excited. There is nothing wrong with excitement as long as it stays within the realm of the divine. We have the power to calm excitement and enjoy its restorative and purifying influence.
The excitement that comes with caring from baby chicks is under God’s control. Love is gentle and thoughtful.
