I am reminded of the woman who frantically was looking all around her home for her reading glasses one day only to give up the search, sit down, dejected and full of failing and perplexity and finally lowering her head so that she could cup her face & cry and discovering the glasses sitting up there, on her head waiting for her
RIGHT THERE
All that time, from the first thought to reach for them, discover they were not there, retrace all her steps, search hi and lo, repeat it all, go through all her range of motions only to discover that everything she needed to know or do was within reach. It was never anywhere else
GOT LEGS?
It is the same with all things. We think that what we want is way out there some where and maybe it is but the first step is right in front your face to trigger it all. Every thought needs a set of legs or it just goes away just like it came. Some thoughts shouldn't be given legs. This is where the individual comes in
CAN BE DONE
It is interesting to note that what one person can do, another can do too. How well we do it is something we add to the dynamic and is of a different assessment. The point is that you can accomplish whatever you start out to do if you want to do it. But look who you meet up with on the way....
THE ENEMY HAS BEEN SIGHTED
Yourself! The problems that we face are named, rated and powered by us. The problems themselves have no respect for the individual and go about their mischief making ways. When a person encounters a problem, it can come in one of two forms. It can be an external force or an internal one in origin.
EXTERNAL
The outside force identifies itself and that is when we need to identify ourselves as well. We now summon the learning curve principal & begin a step by step approach to take hold of and handle what has appeared. Once we get over the introduction phase, then we can enter into the true arena & begin
INTERNAL
This is where we have something we picked up or is under developed within the self that when entering into a growth opportunity cause us to compound the experience. We not only have to deal with what is presented but also our own lack or dysfunction making it twice as hard to do so. But wait....
WHAT IS HAPPENING IS INTENDED
That is the whole point. The problem is designed to allow that mechanism within us to activate and come to life & we would be wise to let it do so. What is confusing is that a belief put in us by an authority figure is discovered that is not our own. That has to come out. It's time to leave is upon you
GIVING UP?
That real you now has to come forth and take the risk to claim the growth. This taking one step back to advance two steps is what is necessary and will work if we do the tried and true method and adhere to the unspoken rule: Finish what you start. You will know in the moment because the urge not to finish will appear. That's the sign. Don't give in to it. It will pass
STAY CALM
It is interesting to note that when a person is calm, aware and in their natural state of being, they are able to discover and explore without much effort. The learning of life is never not working while one lives. Letting go so it can work is the key. Don't interfere, deny or excuse it away. Let it unfold
CAUSE & EFFECT
I subscribe and hardily believe that there are no accidents in life or discovery. All is and was meant to take place but with a twist that shouldn't exist. Hindsight tells us this. We see clearly after the fact what was intended or could have been. All that does is remind us of the following...
INSIGHT
What was intended, delivered and without the asking is presented constantly if one learns to be available, centered and able to receive correctly. One finds out that being less willful and more reachable and inviting allows access to the moment and its gifts to go to work. All we do is receive them
CARE-FREE
Why does the obvious escape us? It could simply be that we have taken life on to be more serious than it should be. The whole system from the small to the grandiose runs without any effort from us. Show it some respect and let it do its intended job.
RELAX
Remember those glasses that the woman lost were never lost. She was lost temporarily. She came back and the glasses were waiting patiently for their next usage. This applies to all of life and its circumstances. Let it!
