Lately, I have been in a self-induced holding pattern. Waiting for things to happen and waiting for people to happen. Feeling like I need to justify some decisions I am ready to make even though there could be some fall out from them. I have been preparing explanations for things that have not even happened. Then I read a post today on Christine Kane’s blog about explainers and saw things from a different perspective.
While I do not think of myself as an explainer, I have, at times, been more concerned with other people’s opinions instead of my own. I have put “feelers” out there waiting for someone to react or respond or whatever and when they don’t, I am disappointed. Part of me wanting to be pissed at them because they did not “get it” or get me. People can not read your mind…no matter how many hints you throw their way. Sometimes, you have to be bold and speak your truth if you want to see something happen.
When we take responsibility for our lives and the decisions we make, we focus on the happiness only we can bring to ourselves. Nothing external can make you happy. Where you are right now is what you have created and do you realize you can un-create and re-create anything? I loved how Christine drove that message home on her post.
I am done living beneath my infinite potential. I used to think that when an opportunity is lost it is gone forever, but that is not the case. As Marianne Williamson pointed out in her Miracle Thought for today, Your Birthright, the energy represented by that opportunity is held in trust for you until you are ready to receive it. That is so powerful. It calls us to be bold and get right with ourselves so we can receive all we have been promised. I have declared I am ready for some new things and situations to come into my life and it is happening. I have been experiencing an openess that has me feeling things deeply…amazing how the most unexpected people can be a catalyst for that. Situations I thought long gone are no longer that way. There is opportunity in everything and everyone if you are willing to take a chance. Especially those things and situations that seem so impossible. While not knowing exactly where this journey will take me, I do know I will have no regrets. So, here’s to boldness, being open and the adventures that go along with it. Enough waiting…it is time to live.
