Mystic Messages

I really hear this message!  It’s so easy to procrastinate, to put off bringing in or doing something that we REALLY want and the excuses we use can be pretty lame.  How often have you done this yourself?  I know I’m guilty!

When I move to the right house, when I have the right partner, when I have $X in the bank, when I get a new job…  It goes on and on.  There are so many good reasons to postpone doing something.  And yet if we are thinking about doing that ‘thing,’ whatever it is, there must be some energy available to it in the moment, some energy to support the thought.  Thoughts are things, right?  And thoughts, as everything, are made up of energy.  So it follows that there’s some energy there.

In 1974 I was waiting to move into the perfect house on the water before getting pregnant, but finally decided that I wasn’t getting any younger and that maybe I had the wrong priority.  We ended up finding the perfect house on the water the same weekend I got pregnant with my daughter and moved in months before the birth.  Funny how that seems to work, isn’t it?

So what are you waiting for?  And what can you do today, right NOW, to move in the direction of what you desire?

I have so many ideas floating around in my head for workshops, classes, teleseminars and all they are waiting for is for me to get them on the calendar.  What holds me back?  If I’m honest, it can be a fear of committing to the calendar.  Maybe there is a little insecurity about, “What if I schedule it and no one signs up?”  And yet is it fair to people who want to take the workshops, classes and teleseminars for me to withhold myself from them because of my ‘stuff’?

There are some magnificent artists who feel they aren’t good enough to sell their artwork, and yet the rest of us would love to purchase it, given the chance.  There are some amazing singers who think it’s okay to sing in the shower but are afraid to share that talent in public.  There are books and articles waiting to be published because the author judges them ‘not ready’ or ‘not interesting enough’ for sharing with others.  I’m thinking that this becomes pretty self-focused  — maybe we are given the talents and abilities that we have so that we can share these with others.

In many cultures, storytelling is an art and everyone is expected to share around the campfire or the town square.  People don’t judge, they just share whatever they have to share.  Can we adopt that attitude in our society?  Let’s agree to just share, not judge or wait for the perfect time.  We can agree to accept whatever the response is, without judging ourselves or others, and allow the impetus to come from within, to just share what is inside us.  If there truly is a stumbling block, an obstacle, then we can decide to accept help, to do the personal growth work or the spiritual work, and then to move forward.

Take one step today.  If you would like to examine the blocks or obstacles, then make an appointment with a counselor or coach and do the work.  But figure out that one step and then take it.  It can open a floodgate to the energy you were looking for to keep moving!
