MUS-INGS: Be Ready to Course Correct!

Assessing your values is a great way to plan your time, energy and resources. It’s important to look at what is most important and then at your Life to see if your Life reflects that value structure.

But how often do we get pulled off track by what is going on around us? For example, we might think that ‘Family’ is a very high value but all of our time is going to work or sports or entertainment or whatever and what is left over is all we give to our family. We might have so many organizations that we belong to that we don’t have an evening free for ‘date night’ with our partner. We might be working so long and hard that we are too exhausted to call our mother or play a game with the kids. There could be many more examples.

But, you might think, I have to do all those other things. Do you, really? Think about your Life, the one with the capital ‘L.’ Have you fallen into unconscious patterns that SEEM to be the way things must be? Have you examined those ‘musts’ to determine if they really have to be that way? Or was the decision made a long time ago, under different circumstances, that that was the only structure that was possible?

Living a Conscious Life requires us to be mindful at all times about the source of our decisions about our Life. Are we watching the news and making decisions based on some perceived threat? Are we watching changes happen and feeling threatened, fearful, gleefully delighted in someone else’s misfortune, judgmental? Really assess what is going on in you as you listen to reports of current events. How do these events relate to you?

I know that we think we need to proceed along a path that’s been started because we were taught about perseverance and persistence, that good ol’ ‘stick-to-it-iveness’ that was valued. But once we have been set upon a certain course there might be new information that arises, or new circumstances or a different perspective that cause us to re-examine whether that course is still the right one for us or if there might be a better one based on the new insights. Being able to change or course-correct is a sign of living a Conscious Life. Being unable to change or course-correct is a sign of stubbornness.

Now I am not judging anyone here, but if you are not open to the possibility that you might be called to shift where you are going then you are not really living a Conscious Life. Every step you take must be taken with care. Every decision must be based on careful thought. When you are flying an airplane you don’t stubbornly stay on course if there is a huge thunderstorm looming ahead of you, you shift according to the new information that is in front of you. It’s the same with Life.

But on what do you base your decisions? This is where assessing your values can really lead you forward in your life path with confidence that you are basing your choices on what really matters to you, on what is important to your Life and your Purpose.

Don’t be distracted by the news or the stories that you hear. Go inside. Figure out how to make decisions from a place of conscious consideration so that you can have confidence as you move forward. It is important that you learn to be able to course correct when you must but to base that course correction on your values and your inner guidance, not on the external news reports!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What Needs to be Restructured in Your Life?”

Dear Ones,

It is time for each of you to decide what it is that you are going to do to assist Mother Earth in the coming transformations that she must undergo. Are you tuned into and aware of the shifts that are happening on Planet Earth at this time?

Many have asked about the energies of 2012, sometimes with fear and trepidation about what is coming. We would tell you that you have nothing to fear. The shifts that are about to happen have already begun in three-dimensional reality. People are starting to feel the shifts even if they don’t know how to talk about them or can’t quite describe what they are feeling. Many people are reacting to the shifts as if they are afraid of what is happening but what they are afraid of is change.

For some the changes coming will be changes in the amount of power they are able to exert over others. These changes require the toppling of some empires that have been built upon the backs of those who toil to support the structure but who are not able to be recompensed at a level commensurate with their contribution. Some structures that have endured for a long time will no longer be able to function as they have because there is more Light entering the world and they operate in darkness.

You will see throughout the times that people and organizations and, indeed, even cities, towns and government structures, will shift in big ways. Some will topple and some will morph into new forms. The cities that are clinging to the ways of darkness will no longer be able to operate. The government structures that do not support all of the people, especially those who have the least power, will become reversed as all people will be finding ’empowerment’ that comes from within, instead of giving over their power to someone external to them.

So what does this mean to you, Dear Ones? You must be the ones who find that your source of empowerment is the Light Within. Get in touch with your Soul’s purpose and live it – today! Ask yourself how your Life reflects the reason you incarnated on Planet Earth in these times.

Many of you are fretting about finances or jobs or relationships, but are you BEING in the fullness of your humanity? Some of you pay attention to the news and are disheartened or disturbed, but the news is the reporting of events with a commentary to try to get you to think a certain way about those events. This is not about YOU.

What is important to you? Have you done a values assessment lately? Do you know what your highest values are and are you prepared to live those? Or are you succumbing to worry about that which is not the most important part of your Life and allowing the important things to diminish in your attention?

Take some time to list the important values in your Life and then look at your schedule to see if you are devoting a proportional amount of time to those high values. Shifting your thinking about this will help you to understand that you are not a victim of events in the news. You are a person of the Light. Shine that Light in your Life on what really matters. The rest will sort itself out according to your personal value structure.

While other entities topple or restructure, the only one over which you have total control is your own Life. Make the choices that support your purpose. Listen to your inner guidance. And if some area of your Life is not what you desire, then make the changes that you can make, firstly in your thinking about where your empowerment is sourced and then in whatever external circumstances that you can change.

This is YOUR Life. Live it in the Light and be the shining Light that radiates from within you!

And So It Is!

MUSE-INGS: Take out the Garbage!

In my old computer programmer days [seems like centuries ago!] we used to say, ‘GIGO – Garbage In, Garbage Out’! Seems that’s what this message is all about. What we input into our internal database is what comes out in our life.

So what are you putting in? When I work with clients who are accepting what others are trying to input it reminds me of the days when someone gave us ‘garbage’ to put in the database on the computer but expected a ‘garden’ to come out of it. That only works if the garbage is fertilizer and you also plant flowers!

Your thoughts are your thoughts. Other people own their thoughts, too. But it’s up to you to decide which thoughts you will accept and store away in your database. Do you believe in your own self-worth or have you let someone else define that for you? For example, we women look at magazines and think that we must measure up [or down!] to what we see. But even those models say they don’t look like that either! Have you had a parent or spouse or friend tell you that being an entrepreneur is not wise because there’s no security in that? Not true!

I’ve had several clients who have heard this in some form or other but today’s job market is not like it was decades ago. No one’s job is secure today. But if you are an entrepreneur you can make your own success, you can adjust your course, you can use the Law of Attraction to your benefit without being impeded by others. YOU have more options than someone who is not on their own.  If you are in a job as an employee, you must still decide who YOU are because your job description does not define you!

And look at your relationships to see if you are allowing others to input their ideas, thoughts, models of the world into your internal database. It’s pretty easy to let that happen. But they are not living your Life Purpose. It is not their responsibility to live out your mission on Planet Earth.

Now look at what you regularly input into your own database. So often we read, digest, listen to ‘stuff’ that does not lift up our own internal vibration. We allow ourselves to be lowered to a frequency that does not resonate with our spirit and we can’t understand why we are feeling ‘down.’ It’s our internal vibratory frequency that is ‘down.’ That’s the clue that we must do something to lift our own vibration.

Remember the Beach Boys’ song, ‘Good Vibrations’? [OK, maybe I’m the only one old enough to remember the Beach Boys!] Our internal mechanisms want us to feel good, to feel those ‘Good Vibrations.’ What are you doing today to feel a higher vibration than the day might bring on its own?

As I write this I have had technical glitches with three client sessions – three! My whole morning. What was that all about? Now my choice is to rail against the Universe or the gods of cyberspace, or I can deal with each issue as it arises and move forward. I chose the latter path.

We are always at choice about how to respond to what happens to us. But our options for those responses come from our own internal database. We must be careful to input only that which we would be happy to bring out as an option, a possible choice for us. This is why it is such a good idea to periodically clear out the database by clearing limiting beliefs, negative thoughts, blocks that we might not even know we have. Often times when I work with clients, this is the most important work we do. The rest of what they are looking for flows from this!

You might also try the ‘nightly review’ where before you go to sleep you review your day, going backwards through the day to decide if, next time, there is a better choice for you to make in a certain situation. This instructs your Unconscious Mind to store the new choice as an option for next time instead of the old one.

Take out the ‘garbage’ every night!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What’s Going into Your Unconscious Database?”

Dear Ones,

Be careful of the books you read, the movies you watch, the games you play. What ideas and images are you storing inside yourself?

For what you input into your consciousness is stored away and later used by your Unconscious Mind in the decision-making process. Everything that you have input is at work in your life, whether you are conscious of it or not, unless you have done some work to clear thoughts and beliefs from your memory and your Unconscious Mind.

Do you read material that makes you feel good – about yourself, your accomplishments, your life? Do you escape into a fantasy world to relax? With whom do you identify in the books, movies and television shows that you absorb?

What kind of music do you listen to? Is this uplifting to you or does the vibration or the lyrics drag you down? What kind of art or pictures do you look at? What form of entertainment do you enjoy?

Our words are not to make you feel guilty, judged or upset. They are merely to make you conscious that every choice that you make has an effect on your vibrational level. When you are conscious about your choices then you can consistently make the choices that raise your vibrational frequency to the highest level of your inner spirit.

Too often we see that human beings are making their lives like a robotic imitation of Life. They go through the motions of living but allow others to make decisions for them or even refuse to see that the possibility of choice exists in their life at all.

Do you know people who go through life as if there is never any choice for them, in anything? Are you one of these victims?

Dear Ones, you are always at choice in your life. Just because one choice might be more painful or disturbing or upsetting that another does not mean that you have no choice. For example, are you in a relationship that is uncomfortable or even painful for you and yet you stay? Are you working in a job that is unfulfilling and yet you stay?

You might think that you have no choice but is this really true? You could leave your relationship but there might be ramifications – financial, emotional, etc. You could leave your job but you might not have the money to pay your rent.

You choose what you believe. You choose what to think about. You choose how to spend your time each day. You choose who you spend your time on and with. You are constantly making choices in your life.

If you put violence into your mind through reading or TV or movies, then violence becomes an option for you when choosing what to do in your life. When you input meanness or anger or hatred or intolerance into your mind, then those become options for you to choose. If you allow others to put beliefs or thoughts into your mind then these become options for you.

Become conscious that you are constantly making choices and become aware of what you are putting into the database from which you make your selections.

You must periodically clear out this database of input that you do not want to be there. Clear beliefs that come from someone else. Clear out the lower vibration options that do not serve you now. Do the work.

To live a Conscious Life you must be aware of the choices you are making and the source of the possibilities you consider. Awareness leads you into a clearer field of all possibilities!

And So It Is!

MUSE-INGS: The Magnet is the Picture You Think

This message is certainly timely for me! So many times I find myself spiraling down into thoughts and worries and then pulling myself back up using tools for Conscious Living. Yes, even those of us who teach this must constantly remind ourselves to use the tools we teach!

It does become easier with practice and we catch ourselves much earlier than we used to, but it still is a knee-jerk, human reaction to start thinking about what could be wrong or what needs to be fixed or what is not going the way we want it to go. The most important tool to use is Awareness.

How aware are you of the thoughts that you have? You can think or speak or tell your story without being aware of the energy of your thoughts. You’re just sharing the story, right? You’re just reporting the facts, right? You’re just trying to figure out the solutions, right?

Well, maybe you need to adjust your thinking about all that. Every time you tell a story of your woes you are traveling back into the thoughts that attracted that woe into your life. This is not to blame you for something or to say you are wrong but to show you how focusing on the story of the problem energizes keeping that problem in your life.

But what if you were to talk about possible solutions instead? If you feel the need to discuss a situation with someone, talk from the energy of seeking solutions, not of getting commiseration about ‘poor you.’ Train yourself to notice when you are thinking about a problem and spiraling downward into the depths of that problem instead of pulling yourself up above the problem to seek a solution. Follow the thought into the set of possible solutions rather than into the depths of the problem, for the light is shining in the solutions not the problems.

When you share something with others, be open to their helping you to see possibilities rather than woes. Allow the energy of the sharing to lift your own energy into problem-solving rather than sympathy seeking.

This is how you shift your own energetic electromagnet so that your beacon into the Universe can attract what you want instead of energizing what you don’t want.

Awareness is key. What are my thoughts sending out? Picture your mind creating a picture of something with every thought. Neuo-Linguistic Programming [NLP] is one of the techniques that I use when working with clients and NLP teaches that, in order to make sense of a thought or statement your mind must first make a picture of that statement. So ‘I don’t want to be sad’ creates a picture of you in a sad state. That picture in your mind sends out the energy of sadness. And in creating this picture your unconscious mind has to ignore the ‘don’t want’ part of the statement. The picture becomes the energy which becomes the magnet.

Be aware of your magnetic beacon. This beacon is at work at all times. Create the pictures that you WANT to have beamed out into the Universe. And you do this by taking charge of your thoughts.

Create beautiful pictures this week!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What’s Your Magnet Attracting?”

Dear Ones,

What are the energies that you are putting out into the Universe to attract to you what is happening in your life? Do you worry about money? Do you fret about relationships? Are you stuck in a place that is uncomfortable and focusing on that discomfort?

Think of yourself as a beacon in the darkness. Whatever energy you generate with your mind becomes the energetic electromagnetic beam that radiates outward from you. As a beacon you are sending this magnetic beam out into the Universe inviting like energies to attach to the beam. What are you attracting?

Some people discount what is called ‘The Law of Attraction’ but this is a law of the Universe, whether you believe in it or not. Just as the Law of Gravity works on Planet Earth whether you understand how it works or not. We are teaching you that the Law of Attraction is at work in your life right now, no matter what you think about the Law.

Because you are a thinking individual your thoughts are energetically charged at all times. You are creating magnets with every thought. What were you thinking about just before your started reading this? Was it attracting what you want in your life or what you don’t want? When you become conscious of yourself as a beacon into the vast Universe inviting into your life whatever the energy of your thoughts attract, then you can see what is playing out in your life as a manifestation of previous thoughts.

Even if you don’t remember ‘asking’ [or attracting] what you have, you can probably remember thinking about it. Now, we are not criticizing you for the thoughts that you have had in the past, for you were learning about how the Universe works. You might have implanted beliefs and thought patterns from decades ago, or borrowed from your parents and ancestors, that you didn’t even know that you had accepted. But the fact that your thoughts from the past have created patterns in your present life does not mean that you cannot change those patterns NOW.

This is what you are called to do. Examine your thoughts, your beliefs, in light of what you are learning about living a Conscious Life. Can you identify patterns that are not supporting your personal growth? Do you have situations in your life that you must examine for what you can change about your thinking about those situations?

For example, are you worrying about something and not seeing what there is for you to do about that situation? Perhaps the place to start is to get control of your thoughts about the situation. Every time that your worry surfaces, shift to considering one action you can take away from that worry. This is not to say that you must escape into fantasy rather than face front on what is going on, but rather that you can think of one aspect of that situation over which you have enough control to take one action. Look for one benefit that you receive from that situation. This might be very small or seemingly insignificant, but what is the one benefit you can think of that you have derived or are deriving from being in that situation? Now feel grateful for that one benefit.

Gratitude will move you forward into finding solutions. The energy of Gratitude, when it creates the magnet of your beacon into the Universe, attracts to you more opportunities to feel Gratitude.

And if you cannot find one benefit in your present situation? Then be grateful for the knowledge that you are perceptive enough to know that you must take steps to change the situation. Again, let your beacon contain a different energy than judgment or frustration or disappointment or anger and you will attract different energies into your life.

Try this today with something that is troubling you. You will see a difference. Be gentle with yourself and practice being a Conscious Beacon so that what you attract is what you really want.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Joe Sixpack? 2 by 4s? or Living a Conscious Life?

‘Self-Realization’ may seem like a highly abstract term but is truly the purpose of living a human life. Our inner Self is seeking expression in the outer world in which we find our self living. At a very deep unconscious level our being is looking for ways to find meaning and purpose in our life and it is the capital ‘S’ Self that is answering the quest.

Have you ever wondered why you were born? What is it that you are to manifest on the Earth plane that was never there before? What yearning in your spirit is seeking an outlet?

Some of us occasionally consider these questions but daily living gets in the way of pursuing the answers. Sometimes we are busy surviving the day or the month or the bills or the job and pondering philosophical questions seems like a luxury we can’t afford. The truth is that we cannot afford NOT to ponder these questions, for this is what makes us an evolving species, deepening our consciousness and awareness so that subsequent humans can learn from us and continue to develop their awareness.

I’ve never thought that my beloved dog, Tara, wonders why she is here on Planet Earth. That doesn’t mean that she is not conscious for she is definitely an aware being. She follows her instincts and develops her talents and modifies her behaviors when she learns what gains her what she seeks [almost always that is a treat!]. But Tara seems to be on the planet and in our lives to give us unconditional love. And, as a temple dog Lhasa Apso, to protect us by warning when danger or perceived danger is near. That’s it. Pretty simple. She knows what she’s here for so she doesn’t spend much time pondering who she is.

Have you discovered your ‘Big Why’? That seems to be a first step in manifesting your purpose on the planet. Who did you come here to be? These are essential questions to living a Conscious Life.

Remember the old stereotype of ‘Joe Sixpack’ who goes to work, comes home, sits in front of the TV wearing only a tee shirt and drinking a sixpack of beer? I’ve never really met a ‘Joe Sixpack’ but it’s a great metaphor for living an unconscious life. Work, sit, drink in what someone is feeding you [mentally] and drink in a numbing substance so you don’t have to feel your life.

Reaching for Self-Realization asks you to live a different kind of life from the one Joe is living. Do what it takes to discover your purpose and your Big Why. Modify your lifestyle so that you can manifest that purpose in the outer world. Live fully present in each moment as the ‘who’ you came here to be.

Do you need help discovering your purpose or your Big Why? Seek that help. Do you feel you know but you haven’t figured out how to make that happen in your life? Get some help with this, too.

Time is speeding up so rapidly in these times that we no longer have the luxury of being Joe Sixpacks in our lives. If you are receiving this message then you are ready to live a Conscious Life. You are ready to move ahead in the direction of Self-Realization. Follow the steps as outlined in the Mystic Message. Be conscious at all times of what opportunities for growth exist in the present moment.

In the teachings of the gurus, achieving Self-Realization in this lifetime means that you don’t have to come back to live again unless you choose to do so to help others along the path. But I believe that living the Joe Sixpack life requires you to come back with another chance at getting conscious, which means having to learn all those lessons over again.

My choice? I’m getting those lessons over with this lifetime so I don’t have to have any do-overs! And I also try to live a Conscious Life so that I am always asking, ‘What is the lesson in this for me?’ I’m trying to avoid those 2 by 4s that the Universe uses to get our attention.

Join me in living a Conscious Life and consciously avoiding 2 by 4s!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What IS Self-Realization?”

Dear Ones,

Self-Realization is the manifestation of the greatest potential of an individual human being on Planet Earth. The Self-Realized person LIVES as the Soul. Their Personality has surrendered to the Soul in all things.

The journey to Self-Realization is a long one – lifetimes of Conscious Living. But in the 21st Century there are many who are on this journey and who are helping others along the way.

How do you know if you have achieved Self-Realization? There is no question, Dear Ones, for you will know.

As Self-Realization becomes a clear goal for you, there are several steps you must take to move closer to that goal.

The first is a strong commitment to living a Conscious Life. You must be aware of what you are doing, thinking and believing at all times. You must be conscious of where your own issues lie – what ‘blind spots’ do you have? What do you not know, or not admit, that you don’t know? What choices are you making in your Life and do they come from a clear connection to your Soul?

The second is to develop a strong connection to and trust in your own intuition. Are you being guided by others without testing that guidance against your own inner wisdom? Or are you always pausing to listen to your inner voice before you choose which action to take? Do you receive intuitive messages but then question whether you can trust them or analyze your way out of following the guidance?

The next step is to regularly disconnect from the outer world so that you can clear your thoughts and energies from the pollution of the world around you. Start each day with meditation, a check-in with your inner guidance, about your day. Do not make this check-in just about what you are to DO but ask who you are to BE. When you give yourself permission to break away from the energies of the outer world, even for a short period, you enhance your Soul connection and move in the direction of Self-Realization.

It is also important that you have some time for creative expression each day, for expressing yourself creatively is how you channel Divine Energy into the world around you. This does not mean that you must spend all day painting or composing music, but it does mean that you are to find a way to create something new each day – ideas, systems, food dishes, relationships, expressions of your feelings, thoughts, beliefs. Allow each day to draw from you something creative and you will be moving in the direction of Self-Realization.

And, finally, you must be an active participant in your Spiritual Journey. You must input uplifting thoughts, ideas, music, activities so that you are keeping your vibrational level at the energy of the Soul, working to avoid the darkness of low energy vibrations. For some this means eschewing activities or relationships that are not spiritually uplifting. For some this may mean moving away from a dark city, to some other place in the world that has more Light.

Ultimately every choice in Life must be for the Light and away from the darkness. When this is achieved, a person becomes one with the Light and is Self-Realized.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Choose to Sail with the Wind!

There really does seem to be a big shift coming. Can’t you feel it in the air? Or maybe I should say in the ground?

Certainly the weather shifts bring us to the question of “What’s going on?” We just returned home from a trip across country [Los Angeles, Annapolis, Maryland and New York City] and while visiting friends and family we heard stories about tornadoes in Maryland and the damage they have done. Our daughter and her family have been awakened at night twice by the emergency radio warning them to go to the basement with the kids because there was a tornado nearby. Scary!

And I have lived most of my life in that area where I can remember a few hurricanes over the decades coming up the Chesapeake Bay but tornadoes were something that happened to the middle of the country, not Maryland! My husband grew up in Wisconsin where there were frequent tornadoes but they didn’t happen in the middle of the night, where they are now occurring and are more deadly for those who are not forewarned.

But there are subtler levels of change on the planet that have an even more profound effect on us and on our lives. The energy shifts that are occurring are inviting us to grow into our ‘biggest selves.’ How are you growing today? What actions are you taking that propel you forward in your personal growth? This is the most important work we can do on Planet Earth as this time – our inner work, our own personal growth work.

We might be allowing economic news to have us focus on financial issues like making more money, finding a new job, selling our house [which we are doing, by the way, if you want to move to Colorado Springs!]. We might even be listening to disturbing news and finding ourselves moving in a downward spiral as we allow that news to shift our thoughts to the negative instead of positive thoughts of growth.

How are YOU responding to shifting energies around you? What is your pattern? Have you done the inner work to develop strategies to help you shift? Or are you clinging to the familiar to attempt to control your environment and the people around you?

Sometimes we don’t like the answers to these questions but I am seeing such amazing growth in the clients I work with who are ready to do the deep examination and ask the hard questions that I urge you to be one of them. Ask the questions that might be hard to answer and then answer them honestly. ARE you trying to control the people around you, wishing things were different? Or are you noticing how things are different and helping the people around you to be who they incarnated on Planet Earth to become, even if it doesn’t mesh with what you want for them? Are you railing at the shifting environment, weather or work, family or financial, instead of seeking solutions from a new set based on new energies?

Remember that integrity does not just mean not stealing from someone else. It means staying true to your own highest purpose in being here in this lifetime. And loving others, including Mother Earth, means that you allow everyone else to grow into the person they are here to be.

Work WITH the shifting energies and you will be sailing with the wind! Work against them and you will feel buffeted by those same winds. Which do you choose? You DO have a choice!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Are You a Child of the 21st Century?”

Dear Ones,

Things are changing on Planet Earth and everything in your life must be scrutinized to insure that you are in integrity with your Soul Purpose at all times. What is your standard way of interacting with the people around you? Have you taken the time to really examine your relationships and decided who you are in them?

As the energy of Earth speeds up there are three typical responses to this energetic shift. A large group of people are reacting by trying to go back to the way things used to be, where they felt more in control of their environment and their lives. Unfortunately, many of these also felt in control of the other people around them and so they are clinging to the illusion that they can now exert control over others and how they behave, believe, and relate to the controller. These are the people who are not willing to shift their own energy to adapt to the changing energies of their environment. Rather, they try to shift their environment to get it to adapt to what they think they want.

The second typical response is to move into a ‘Woe is me’ attitude of victimhood and rail against the changing times with despair, never considering that perhaps there is some action they can take to make the adaptations being called for by the shift of energy. These people sometimes wake up and realize that they are, indeed, in charge of their own lives and that they CAN take action to make their life what they wish it to be. But there are some who will choose to stay with the concept that they have no control and therefore their mantra continues to be ‘Woe is me.’

The third response is that of the conscious individual who looks around at their environment and decides that they will assess the energies and will adapt to continue their forward motion through the changes. These people will strive to change themselves until they can continue to be successful in their own journey of personal growth. These are the ones who will emerge as the leaders of the future, who will take care of themselves and their families and their businesses to make sure that they are transitioning whenever it is required to continue to grow as they feel led and as they desire.

Which response are you feeling in yourself to the changing energies around you? Be honest with yourself here, for denying that you are fearful and paralyzed does not bring you the resources you need to make the adaptations that will bring you forward in your growth journey. If you admit that you have been falling into the trap of longing for days of the past and have been trying to control both the people around you and your environment then you have the power now to change yourself to flow with the changes that are happening, whether you try to control them or not.

The wisest person becomes a child of the 21st Century and decides to adapt and continue to move forward. This requires a commitment to the inner work that manifests as success in the outer world. Looking inward is where the answers lie. Finding fellow travelers brings the outer support. Moving away from those who try to control you or the circumstances will help to free you to continue your forward progress.

Set your sights on sailing into the future with the wind at your back, helping you to move forward, supporting that flow into what awaits you — which is your personal success.

Shift or you will be left behind.

And so it is.
