Today is the day for you to start something new. What would you like to bring into your life that brings the energy of newness to you? What have you been waiting to start, to do, to have? What is ‘the perfect time’ that you have been waiting for so that you can start, do or have it?
Every moment in your life is the perfect NOW for the NEW. Do you realize this? Whenever you find yourself putting something off, waiting for that perfect time, when everything else makes way for that new thing, that new energy, THAT is the time to catch yourself and pause with this question in mind – “Exactly why am I waiting?”
Are you waiting for someone else to line up to support what you are doing? Maybe you can find a way to do it yourself, or to shift a bit so that you can at least get started on the project. Are you waiting for the stars to align, the budget to support, your calendar to open up? Are you waiting to lose weight, gain weight, change your wardrobe, change houses, get a new car? Are you waiting to find the perfect _____ [fill in the blank]?
Lose this ‘wait’!
This moment NOW is the only moment you have. Everything you need is here in this NOW. Every resource is within you to make happen that which you need in your life. Creativity is within you if you allow it to be expressed. Resources are available if you open yourself to guidance and seek resources that you think you don’t have – where else can you seek them? How can you modify your plans to use what’s available? Who do you need help from? Can you permit yourself to ask for the help you need? What is ONE STEP that you can take in this moment NOW that will bring you closer to your goal?
If you find yourself resisting these words, then ask yourself if you have been waiting to start something because there is a block or obstacle in front of that something. Are you using as an excuse something that is keeping you from facing the real obstacle to moving forward? Do you really need to have all the resources lined up first or can you start and then find the rest of what you need? Do you really need to lose weight, find help, have a new car or can you find step one to get the energy flowing in the direction of what you desire so that the rest can follow? Are you focusing on the cart and letting the horse struggle at its tethers when it really wants to get moving?
What project, idea, program has been coming to your mind as you read these words? What is one step that you can take NOW to move in the direction of that idea? If we asked, what is one thing that you wish you could do that for some reason you have not started yet? Would it be all right with you if you allowed that to get started?
Starting is the hard part. Deciding to start can be even more difficult. If there is an excuse why you can’t start, then look at that excuse and ask, “What is behind this excuse?” Are you hiding from some personal work that needs to be done before you move forward? It is easy to look at calendars and budgets and lack and say that these are the reasons that you cannot begin something, but they do not serve your forward motion in life.
Examine yourself. Examine your life. How have you been holding yourself back because there is some personal growth or spiritual work that is waiting to be done? When you determine that this is the place to start, you will be amazed at how easily the rest follows!
