Entering New Territory

My expectations are built on what has come before.

As I enter new territory, I find I am confronting fear, even though I have decided to move ahead.

This feeling, too, is familiar, and so I know I will deal with it.

The goal is worth it.

I want to have an expanded horizon.

My work has brought me to this point.

So I request “Show me” from the Universe and of course, It responds.

The ideas of what and where and when all flood in, but in a gentle and orderly way.

Once the Universe knows I am listening, It sends more.

I have learned to move at It’s pace.

After all, the many different factors all being coordinated must fit, as they always do, once I am prepared.

So, with new territory, new skills and new results, my experience expands once more.

Conviction and Cause

As I explore my place and purpose in the world, I find I am led to consider certain things I love to do.

The more I do them and observe what they are, the more I am drawn to continue and expand them.

But what if I don’t know how?

From the beginning, I had a desperate cry of “Show me, show me!”

I continue use it, but without the desperation.

And then I listen, very intently.

I am finding that the Infinite Divine Universal Intelligence knows absolutely everything!

I can ask for very specific answers.

I now know that they will show up, usually very quietly.

Without really noticing, I find myself taking a different turn, or finding the materials I need, or I meet someone.

As I become more anymore convinced about the direction I am taking, I am realizing that I, indeed, do have a specific place that I need and want to be.

It has everything I need and want it to have.

If something isn’t working, then I need and indeed, want, to listen more deeply.

Until I hear the exact idea which matches up to my identity, the project will not go forward.

It will be on hold until I find it.

The Universe is not concerned with time, but I am.

So I listen very intently, indeed.

Specific Direction

I can determine the shape of my life through my thoughts.

Everyone I know can determine the shape of their life through their thoughts.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, can determine the shape of their life through their thoughts.

————————

I had seen aspects of this on and off in my life, but until I applied it more consistently, I had no idea how powerful it could be.

The consistent thoughts which recur throughout our day, show us the dominant phases of our life.

In order to redirect even a small part of our life, we have to be very specific with our course correction.

General well-being is always good, but if there is a specific life-aspect we wish to improve, it must be done in a specific way.

I was guided to address anxiety attacks through steps in a book.

The steps were outlined with frequency and conditions.

When we have a desire for more friends, more service, more money, better relationships, better work conditions, we must shape our thoughts toward the end result.

The steps that come to us will be specific and effective.

In fact, we can trust these answers because they are tailored exactly for our needs, much better than a generic solution.

Reality vs. Illusions

What I see is often different from what is really going on.

ow can I know what someone else is thinking?

How can I now what causes the conclusions they draw?

It is tough enough to know what I am doing in certain situations.

So, when I see something going on, I must back off a little to realize that it is a combination of what everyone in the situation is seeing and doing.

That is a lot of input!

It is coming from totally different situations and awarenesses.

So, what can I do to see through all the opinions and mental contradictions?

I can breathe deeply and go within.

It takes only a moment.

I can pause for as long as I need to, and then listen before I take another step.

The calm atmosphere I draw on this way, places me in a different context from my opinions from a moment ago.

I can see and hear clearly.

That is almost enough for now.

As I stay in this calm space, I may be directed to do something.

I may find myself gently moving in a particular direction.

At any rate, the calmness that I choose is the reality.

It is always there, despite all the illusion of activity.

Small Steps for Progress

Small steps enable progress to continue.

I start many projects, often multiples of one project, sometimes multiples of more than one project.

At some point, it is time for them to go to the next step.

When that happens, although it may not have been possible to move forward before, it becomes possible now.

That is when I take the next step.

Sometimes all the projects get done within a small timeframe because it is now possible to take that next step.

I have learned to trust that it is all right to begin lots of projects, and that they will all proceed to the next step at the right time.

I will be where I gain access to the right materials.

I will be able to get the right information.

Something will make sense to me which didn’t before.

Someone will mention something which triggers the right idea for me.

That is the point at which I can move forward.

I cannot rush it or push it or slow it down.

It progresses in its own time, sometimes one step, sometimes many steps.

Begin Again

I am grateful for the opportunity to begin again.

Everyone I know is grateful for the opportunity to begin again.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet is grateful for the opportunity to begin again.

——————

To begin again, I release old habits.

I replace negative feelings with positive ones.

I move with conviction toward the good I can create and receive.

I maintain contact with my sense of well-being.

I access what I need to know from within.

I care not for the paths of others unless we are both uplifting and blessing.

I build on the good and expect to see more as I give more.

Let all distractions recede as I concentrate on the deep peace within and let it create the peace without.

Let all things begin again in a way which uplifts and comforts.

A Continuation of Love

Learning to love myself was a new skill which I began several years ago.

Practice is certainly creating great improvement.

As I learn to love myself in one way, another way opens up.

Now, since I practice lots of ways of loving myself, I notice areas that need more love.

So I direct myself to those areas.

Specifically considering how to fill in aspects of myself with more love creates a more seamless expression in my life.

Everything which we do can be done with more love, more kindness, more consideration.

Bridging across from one loving life to another creates a completely different atmosphere around us.

It expands trust along with recognition.

It lets everyone’s improvement and success be shared in the community.

Love continues as it is shared.

Let us continue to find even more ways to love ourselves and to share it.
