Mindful Wisdom Note: Do You Tiptoe, Dance, Fly or Stomp?

So what was your answer?

Is it a mixture of those things, one or two or just one?

Does it matter anyway?

Is there any right or wrong answer?

You’ll probably have guessed this already. It all depends on you doesn’t it? But we can of course alter any of those at will if you choose to.

We come this way but once. We can either tiptoe through life and hope we get to death without being badly bruised or we can live a full, complete life achieving our goals and realizing our wildest dreams.” Bob Proctor

Your answer will be based on your current and past circumstances and experiences and how well aligned you are with your overall life purpose, how clear your vision is (not your eyesight, your life plan), your level of self-esteem and confidence and your determination and indomitable will to continue through any number of setbacks, upsets and feedback which might not always be positive.

The direct link between what you will receive in your future compared to where you are right now is all in your ability, willingness and persistence to actually work out what it is you want and do something about it. Of course, that is simplistic and the acute details aren’t the forte of these short notes, so please refer to the longer posts on goals, vision and confidence.

But the main essence of what we are ‘wanting’ our experience to be has to be inextricably linked to that which we are willing to do, to face and to overcome.

I’m sure you’ve worked out by now it’s not a case of waking up and saying ‘hey, law of attraction, I want a new (you fill in the blank) next week’ and hey presto that turns up. No you are required to do a bit more work and put in a lot more effort than ‘wanting’ as the wanting isn’t actually ‘doing’ anything is it?

No, in order to fulfil the life of your dreams you are going to have to roll your sleeves up, you are going to have to take some knock downs, you absolutely must get back up and you must not falter for one single minute on your self-belief, full stop.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

A little secret: Did you know that whatever it is that comes from within you, from your intuitive self that comes to you as your passion in life, the thing you would really like to be or do, is the thing you actually can be or do? Clever isn’t it? You are not ever going to be given an intuitive directive from the Tao that you personally cannot handle, work out or rise to.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.” – Napoleon Hill

Where most people fall down, is the first or fourth hurdle because they cannot mentally work it out, they suffer a few setbacks and they give up, thinking either ‘this is too difficult’, or ‘I can’t do this’ and you know don’t you that as soon as this is what you think is true, like magic it is true.

On the other hand if you think, know, feel and believe you can. Then absolutely the universe will open up the way, you might not see it all, understand it or actually have a clue how on earth you can muster up the skills, the strength, the finances, the support or whatever else you might need.

But you can be absolutely sure of one thing though.

If it is to be, it is up to me.” – William H. Johnson

Yep, no-one, not even the universe is going to anything that either you are not willing to do or are prepared to do. It all starts and ends with you, of course what comes in the middle can be a whole multitude of fun possibilities, excitement, fear, now knowing and a million other connotations maybe that’s the point on embarking on these dreams in the first place, you just don’t know.

So, starting with that very thing – not knowing, then let’s start focusing on what we can do, what visions we do have, what ideas, thoughts and little moments of wonder are going on up in there in your wonderful amazing mind.

Creation is always happening. Every time an individual has a thought, or a prolonged, chronic way of thinking, they’re in the creation process. Something is going to manifest out of those thoughts.”  – Michael Beckwith

Maybe sometimes we need to start with a little dancing inspiration from the mind followed by a big firm stomp to shake ourselves in to taking massive action, add a bit of flight and a tiny bit of tip toe when it’s called for. But overall, make your mark, be firm, be sure and just get on with it because you just never know.

How wonderful and exciting is that?

Birds leap before they can fly.” – Richard Wilkins

 

 

Have you built good castles in the air? Good! That’s where they should be built. Now, go to work and build foundations under them.” – Henry David Thoreau

 

 

If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think.” -  Oprah Winfrey

 

Mindful Wisdom Note: Above All Else Keep On Moving….

When you are not sure it can be poignant to wait, ponder and surely a signal will appear hinting at the next step or possible options you could take.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” – Dale Carnegie

Sometimes though when debating or deliberating too intently or not at all we can remain immobile, some could even be too afraid to choose or move at all.

No matter how shaky, unsure or how much information you might or might not have, invariably all it takes is a forward movement to rustle up the inertia, to shake up the brain cells and for the universe’s wheels to kick in to motion.

When the world says, ‘Give up’, Hope whispers, ‘Try it one more time.’ ” – Anonymous

Whenever you are next thinking about the best thing to do, intuitively decide whatever feels right and take that small step. The way will appear and even if it means a seemingly wrong turn you can be sure that will be flagged to you, it’s highly likely you needed something within that step anyhow. Everything happens for a reason, a season or a lifetime so they will enrich you either way.

Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t.” – Jerry Rice

So above all, no matter what, just keep on moving forward, slowly, surely, steadily evenly, eventually, ever evolving – the way is there for you.

 Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.”- Conrad Hilton

And if you have now started to sing – ‘keep on moving’ by soul II soul here it is 

Why are we so frightened of what is? What is the good of running away if whatever we are is always there? – J. Krishnamurti

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.” – Michael Jordan

 

 

You see things; and you say ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say ‘Why not?” – George Bernard Shaw

When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them”.  – Confucius
