When you take time to sit quietly, without any distraction of any kind, when you just sit in the silence of your own self, you give something else inside you a chance to speak up. When you close the door to your busy mind and open the door to your quiet heart, you open the channel that was forged a long time ago, between you and those who seek to serve and help you. Don’t be afraid of this channel. It is only an opening to your greater self, your greater wholeness, and your greater potential.
Opportunities abound every day to make a change in your life. There are always small changes you can make just as there are probably big changes. Sometimes a small, subtle change is all it takes to set you off on a new path. Sometimes, however, something more drastic is necessary. But you have to admit to yourself that however change comes into your life, it really is right. It doesn’t come haphazardly. It comes to warn you or to show you what you have been avoiding or missing for so long. So, keep apace of your life’s unfolding, and try to determine what you are being shown on a daily basis to redirect you, or to stop you in your tracks. Even when you don’t ask for something directly from the Universe, there are other guides and helpers in your life who are trying to help you, every day of your life.
Don’t forget your promise to yourself, the promise you made to find your spiritual connection to a deeper self but also a way to connect with the greater Universe. The Universe is always waiting to hear from you, and that is the real key, that it needs to hear from you. Reach out when you feel safe and ready. Ask for what you need. Present yourself in a firm and mature way. If you are uncertain in your request, you will receive uncertainty in return. Take time to phrase your request properly so that there is no ambiguity or uncertainty in your great ask. Take time to center yourself first and feel your heart’s response to what you feel you need. Your heart may have a different need, so take some time to ponder what is really right for you, now, at this time in your life.
Everyone is responsible for their own life, for their own choices and decisions. As children you learned this. As adults you often forget this and you want to just be a child again. But no, childhood is over and adulthood is asking you to show up every day for the next big feature presentation that is in your life’s unfolding. And just as you are expected to take care of yourself, so must you let others do the same. If you take responsibility for others, past their true needs, you might think you are being responsible but you are actually interfering in their lives. Let adults learn to be the grownups that they are meant to be. The only way they can do that is by living their own lives, separate from you. Some people will fail miserably at life, but that is their fate to deal with, in this life and the next. Others will take off like rockets and become outstanding members of society. The vast majority will live adequate lives of boredom and mundanity. But the lucky few will find a connection to their own spirit early in life and they will continually grow and change throughout their lives, never looking back except to give thanks, and never afraid of what is to come, for they learned early on that to live a full life is to always live in awe.
Don’t forget that the world outside of you is there to help you on your journey. The people you meet, the encounters you have, the obstacles you face, all of those things are put in your path to help you. If you seem to have a lot of obstacles in your way, perhaps you are going in the wrong direction. Perhaps you are not meant to have what you want in that direction, and you might remove those obstacles by simply heading in a totally new direction. Perhaps you have a lot of unhappy or angry people in your life. Maybe they are letting you know that they aren’t good for you and that it’s actually time to let them go, rather than trying to change them. Maybe you just can’t get over some sadness in your own life, but the Universe might be trying to let you know that you can’t ever really move forward with something that heavy weighing you down. Find the bigger picture in all of your issues and figure out what is the best next step, based on what you truly want in life. Are you really ready to move on, to change and transform?
