In Balance

When you plan a project, then it is time to sit back and let it mature in your thought.

Even if you have all the materials, sometimes it is not quite time to start.

I find myself pushing to get something done and when I do that, nothing happens.

After a whole though, when I am thinking and working on something else, a little tiny thing will fall into place and my original project will take place very quickly.

There is a balance to working and waiting, planning and resting, being active and being patient.

I know I love the planning stages and I am learning to relax and let the Universe shape my project and grow it and mature it until it is time for it to happen.

Then I am able to see details and appreciate nuances which did not have time to occur to me while I was still shaping the project.

When it is at an absolute calm, it is time to begin.

Before that, there is something missing.

I am learning to wait and do something else while the key piece moves into place.

Then I find myself reviewing a project from a different viewpoint and adding in subtle touches that had not occurred to me earlier.

That is the moment at which the project comes into balance and can move forward.

It has a smooth roll and delivery to it, no awkwardness or rush.

It reaches the people it is meant to reach in a timely manner.

I can enjoy a quiet celebration.

New Challenges and Possiblities

It is always important to trust ourselves when we feel a new direction coming to light.

The one that comes consistently is a sign of Guidance.

We may cling to our present condition and position just because they are familiar. but more things are available to delight us.

When we are ready, we receive little nudges.

When we don’t reposed at first, the nudges become bigger and stronger.

Finally, they get our attention and we look at them.

We become more involved in discovering the possibilities for ourselves.

We have an ability to become expansive.

We are not limited to what we see around us or to what has already been done.

We can trust that fact.

We can trust what happens when we begin to engage with it.

Even though we may find ourselves scrambling to get on our feet from time to time as we gain our balance in new situations, it is totally worth the exhilaration.

Feeling more and more alive in new situations that challenge and delight us is something we can build into our lives forever.

It is a different kind of lifestyle, one that welcomes new possibilities.

I am enjoying both the new challenges and the new delights in mine.

Our Irresistible Path

We are all taking steps along our own path.

We are taking each one as it is revealed to us.

No one else has any idea what someone else’s path looks like.

In fact we only find it for ourselves when we quit responding to anything outside of ourselves.

Our path reveals itself from within our own deepest and quiet thoughts.

Then it puts itself into action.

We cannot hurry this process, although we can slow it down by our own opinions.

It is an irrevocable part of our identity.

Despite our opinions or even objections, it is not open to criticism.

Our experiences bring us to our own individual path once we quit resisting this process.

It becomes compelling, irresistible and satisfying in the deepest ways once we get our stride and keep listening.
