Allowing a Great 2012

If your looking to have a great year all around in 2012 it might be time to get out of your own way!  Yes, you might be the one that is holding yourself back from your dreams, goals, health and abundance. 

I have been spending time evaluating my 2011 and preparing for a great 2012. I started the evaluation in early November of 2011 and made some quick adjustments that led to a good end of my year and a good start to 2012.  Basically there where a coupled simple things I needed to do:

1) Get out of my own way.

2) Allow 'ALL THAT IS' (God, the Universe) to work through me on a daily basis.

Now I have to say I am still not really doing that good of a job of this.  There are times I forget that I can get in my own way, and after a stumble and fall, I pick myself back up and move forward again.

I think the above two steps are almost too simple that they seem like NOT ENOUGH. So we try to do more and thus continue the SURVIVAL and BARELY GET BY patterns in our life.

From the first two steps above there are more steps that you will likely feel the urge to move forward with. The other steps are to help you feel your way through your particular place in life now and to help get you to where you want to go.  For example you might want to get a better KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING of God and things of a spiritual nature so you can feel better about getting out of your own way and ALLOWING your GOOD to shine.

There is a constant flow of LOVE, GRACE, ABUNDANCE, HEALTH... ( ALL AROUND GOOD) coming to us all the time. Yes, its true.  It may not seem so, but it is.  IT JUST IS! 

Thus, I hope to get out of my way more often so I can get me some of this GOODNESS more often in 2012.  All the best in your 2012 journey!

I know severalpeople who do well in spite of themselves,.  If they got out of their own way they would be unstoppable.

Sometimes getting out of one's own way is the most difficult step. That's a daily issue for myself!

Relying on God for everything always seemed lazy. (I have mentioned this in other posts, but it is a big obstacle for me.) Praise Him for everything and asking for His help in every aspect of my life is my goal for this year. I started in November of 2011 and I am trying to make it a common every moment thing. (Not just in the morning or at bedtime.)

This is my interpretation of "getting out of my own way", btw.

Love it. It lines up with what I believe. This will be our best year ever. I believe it with all my heart. I am getting out of the way of the path of my success. It leads right to me. I will not block it.
