That used to drive me crazy!

When I was a teenager I was painfully shy.  I wasn’t very confident (although I did have this  inner drive /obsession that I was going to become confident!).  Since I was uncomfortable with myself I didn’t usually smile very often as that would be taking up space in the world. That would be claiming something for myself - I’m happy!  I was always afraid that someone would crush my happiness.  ( I didn’t know at the time that I was the one who was responsible for my happiness and no one could “take it away” ) So, I often had people who would pass by me and say “SMILE!” - rather forcefully, demanding that I brighten up and plaster a big grin on my face.

Many people have learned how to tap into their intuition purposefully, and just as many are not even aware it exists in them. While some people will say, I had a gut feeling about that or I just knew what to do, others will totally discount any thoughts or feelings or instincts they can’t put a trace on. They can’t accept the unexplainable and they don’t follow any gut feelings even when they pop up. They suppress the thoughts, thereby weakening the power of intuition in their lives.

If the truth be told, I lived much of my life thinking that making the bed was a waste of effort. Every day, we mess it up. Oh yes, every once in a while or through a burst of resolutions, the bed would be made. I didn’t really like doing things that seemed like a waste of time. I really didn’t see the point. Wow! Did I miss one of the blessings of life for a very long time. I missed the power of everyday rituals.

Your mind is powerful, possibly the most powerful tool on the planet. It works consciously to allow you to think and act, and it operates unconsciously to run your entire body. It was a human mind that created computers, and we know how amazing they are. However, there is something that can be almost as powerful as the mind and that is the intuition, that part of you that operates primarily in the unconscious mind. Actually, we can’t even explain where intuition derives from—the conscious, sub-conscious or unconscious mind—or even the mind at all! Perhaps it’s an energy that exists just outside our awareness that springs from the Universal mind.

Today’s  Word is STEP. Nothing in life can be accomplished if we don’t take the first STEP towards our desires. In fact, the STEP happens in our minds first. Taking that first STEP often requires courage and the willingness to step into the unknown. If only you knew how amazing life is on the other side of that STEP you would never waver in your conviction. Everything you need comes after that first STEP which shows the Universe, God and the angels that you are indeed ready. STEP out today into a new direction that you have been thinking about. Remember the old adages that speak such truth. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained, and She that hesitates is lost. Find your courage and take that long awaited STEP.

Allowing is like trusting. Trust that you’ve done all you can and turn it over to higher power or the universe or whatever works for you. We can only do so much, and then we have to let go and trust. Like the trapeze artist letting go and flying free floating for a few seconds. Like the seeds you plant in the ground knowing that tomato plants and ultimately tomatoes will grow. Get out of your own way and allow the LOA to work in your life, bringing you all you desire.

 Whether personally or professionally you can either be at cause and create the life you want or you can be at the effect of anything and everything that life happens to throw at you.   You’d be really surprised at how many people live on the effect side of life and don’t understand why their days are not joyful and happy.  It’s up to you to take charge of your own destiny.

You have the most powerful tool you will ever need in the 3” between your ears!

Whether in your personal or professional life you want to be living a life that you really love.

Are you living the life you envisioned 5 years ago?  What are you envisioning for your life and/or business 5 years from now?
