Greetings Precious Spirit-Soul,
Do the thing and the power is yours, don’t do it and you don’t have the power. This statement is at the heart of one’s earthly experiences, because emotion and activity moves a thought from an abstract idea made of words into a manifested form with color and vibration. An eastern saying is that the hardest step is the first one, and in my experience that’s it; that moment when you take the leap of faith, to trust and act on your inner guidance. And, if you don’t do it, then not going to happen. You can visualize and believe you can have a pie, but unless you or someone else makes the pie, all you have is the drawing or photo of a pie. The quote below has inspired me countless times.
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
What Goethe has stated so perfectly is exactly what we need to do to manifest our heart’s desires and do our life’s work, because of how providence, Divine Will appears after we are firmly fixed on our purpose and mission and doing it, not just thinking and talking about it. Write your purpose and mission.
The first step is the biggest, taking that leap of faith, where you know its now or never, and you go for it because you know you have to. Due to lack of effort projects fail so keep the wheels moving in the direction you choose to be headed. List 20 actions you can take to get what you want, do as a service to others as your work, and what you can do now to prosper you through service and helping others to attain what they need.
Those who blindly believe in destiny do not achieve anything; whereas, when we unify our desires with Divine Will for the greatest benefit for each and every spirit-soul, God-particle, including animals, we are flowing with the Divine, and that beautiful and loving world opens to us in the here and now. Loving means caring for; however, loving and caring for others does not mean living with any and every one, because we rise and fall by our associations, who influence us, so we want to associate with the most loving, kind, generous, empowering, and compassionate souls as possible. And to do this, we need to be that way, if not, we cheat ourselves first.
Take any topic that is most important to you and make a plan, your action list, your to do list that you can use as a reminder and then check it off when done. A plan is a tool to assist you in attaining what’s important to you, although you may get side tracked from time to time, as soon as you remember climb back on your path using your plan and refuse to abuse yourself for forgetting. Also, best to keep silent about your plan and what you are doing so as not to be discouraged by naysayers or the envious or experts who want to convince you that they know more and better for you than you know for yourself, which is not true. List 20 solutions to a present time problem and then choose the solution you like and come up with actions you can take to solve the problem, including to also turn it over to your higher power, your Divine guide from within to work it out and inspire you as to what to do.
A plan is whatever you come up with that can help you attain what you want to be, do or have and get rid of what you don’t want. Brainstorming is a good practice when you are looking for solutions and attaining your goals, because you are willing to entertain ideas and what is possible beyond what you currently know. For example, if you are desirous of having meaningful work, having the money and resources you need, or desirous of having good friends and loving mate, know that all that is possible. A great idea is inspiring and motivating. Everything in this world is an idea. Look around and count the ideas. Once you settle on an idea then you develop the idea and turn it into a reality. Persistence builds your strength.
If procrastination has been stopping you from acting on your plans, here are two questions and then you choose. 1. What will it cost you if you do not do what you feel guided and want to be doing? 2. What are the benefits that you will receive by doing what you feel guided and want to be doing? Many times, especially when I first started doing my life’s work such as giving a talk, venturing out on a project, singing on the stage, I was afraid of the audience and what they thought of me and what I was offering. I knew that if I didn’t do the thing, sing the song, or discipline myself, it would never happen. So, I would take the leap.
Also deep within was the demon thought that I was not good enough, until I shifted my focus from being worried if my audience liked me to focusing on doing the best job I could do for my audience and giving them what I know will help them in every way. Basically loving the members of my audience as a mother who nourishes her children and cheers them on to victory over their challenges. List 20 ways you can help others with your talents, ideas, and skills as a business. Focus on as many possibilities you can think of and challenge yourself to bring up ideas that are beyond what are usual for you, even far out. Play with it, be enthused.
Spiritual and earthly riches are the precious treasures of activities of relationship, creativity, beauty, nature, song, dance, devotion, and joy as expressions of love, who and what we are. Our nature is life, love, and eternity as god-particles, Divine energies that produce this reality in the mind and through the senses in some super-natural way, given our spirit-soul nature. Words can never categorize or define who you and I are because we are inconceivably and simultaneously the same and different from Source/God and each other.
“The Supreme Lord is the dearest for all living beings because he is everyone’s well wisher, and the soul situated in everyone’s heart. Therefore I will now pay the price of complete surrender, and thus purchasing the lord, I will enjoy with him just like Laksmi.” Srimad Bhagavatam 11.8.35
