Being In Our Lives, Moving Through Our Lives

             As we all know, and now it’s a meme, our assigned task here is the journey.  Not the destination.  But, because we’re flawed animals, we forget.

             Recently I was made aware of a clever way to remember.  The phrasing is catchy, and it lyrically brings this message home.  I like direct, and I like alliteration.

             Here is what the Universe would like us to focus on right now:

Chance

Choice

Change

             What this means is, possibilities will cross our paths.  We are then given the option of what to do with various opportunities.  As a result of our selection, we can then alter our route.

             None of the choices are mistakes.  Just as none of the changes are problems.  No matter how or what we go with, we’ll learn.  We’ll do better.  We’ll improve.  Our forward momentum will be enhanced, which offers us additional avenues for helping others.

             Because that’s WHY we’re here!  I did like how this was worded though, it felt authentic and useful.

             Personally, this sang to me.  It sounded good in my head and when spoken outloud.  It also felt good.  Like, a gentle helping hand, instead of a jolting nudge to the ribs.

             We have to watch for those chances.  We need to feel the instinctive choices.  And then, with ease and grace, we must slide into our changes with comfort and free release of all that no longer serves.

One Of A Kind

             We have spoken several times here about how we are Human Beings, not Human Doings.  But it was brought to my attention (again) today, so I guess we’re revisiting.  Which is good, this time it’s a little different.

             There is an enormously powerful and positive movement right now about the acceptability of us just occupying our skins, our space, our bodies.  How, no matter the size nor shape, we have value and we have agency.  No one should be able to say that we, as a person, need to change, need to alter, because of the standards of another.

             If we behave negatively, cause harm?  Of course we should be reprimanded immediately, and called to address/correct our actions; be held accountable.  But to merely carry out our lives, move about in the world?  No, we don’t have to answer to anyone.

             To be our best selves, our most human, we must live in a true and genuine way.  To live our best lives, to go forward and follow the path we set before we arrived here and donned our physical bodies, we must understand that we don’t owe anyone anything.

             To be the best version of ourselves, we need only direct ourselves to our

Life Purpose.

             At this moment in time, on our planet, in our culture, across the globe, there are warriors who are fighting the battle against injustice and ignorance.  More so now than there have ever been before.

             These sacred souls are primarily the Average Jane and Average Joe.  They are mostly not someone rich nor famous nor even considered all that “special” by mainstream media.  But, they have chosen to enrich all of our lives by doing the difficult work.

             I would bet that everyone reading this has come across one or more of them.  They are here amongst us, and they are us.  They are often the quiet prophets, but they are also the outspoken rally leaders.

             They are BEING their most human self by trying to make us all better.  What we can learn from them, and what we can do to help, is to begin in a silent and intentional way.  Sitting with our stillness will open up answers we had trouble hearing due to all of the day-to-day noise and garbage.

             When we occupy our time and mind with positivity, grace, lovingkindness, good people, and that which brings joy, we are bettering the whole.  We are being our best human selves.

             We don’t always have to “do” – this is a time for us to “be” – it is a time for us to support and to assist.  We can put that into practice, we can BE our best self, for the higher and greater good of all, from our own small corner of the world, sending healing to one and all, being the foundation for our improved future.

HERE is a perfect example of how we can all participate.

Sweepingly Successful

             Whatever we’re working on?  It’s getting extremely close to being done.  Completion is on our horizon.

             Having confidence and courage in our own creations and achievements is key right now.  We have to know that this is a joyful process/situation.

             What I was shown this morning focuses on…….

more action.

             First of all, we must be reassured that we have WAY more support in this venture than we could ever imagine.  What today’s message is talking about has loads to the with our own inner strength, but also how we are not alone in this endeavour.

             We can get shit done!  Even if it sometimes seems as though we aren’t making any progress.  We can.  And we will.

             Moving forward, being active in this sense, doesn’t mean jumping around like we’re on fire constantly.  Sure, movement is probably involved, but it might also be more about the deed, plan, or non-physical involvement.

             Remember, the choices often times can be mental or spiritual.  Nature is never still, but we don’t SEE the plants growing or the sun moving.

             On our card altar though, we’re being congratulated on this excellent achievement.  And that’s never bad.

“Victory  ~  15  ~  Divine Helpers

Triumph, Leadership, Success, Accomplishment

Your Divine Helpers are present, bearing good news that whatever you’ve been working on will succeed.  The bad news . . . . well, there really isn’t any bad news, but there is reality, which in your case suggests that you can fully enjoy your success only if you recognize that you didn’t get where you are by yourself.

This isn’t to say that you must diminish your light or be falsely modest in your achievements – not by a long shot!  You deserve to shine, so please do.

Your Divine Helpers simply remind you to be grateful, and acknowledge the contributions of those who have helped you get where you are.  This includes your spirit helpers and guides as well.

One final word:

with success comes the challenge of standing alone in your light.  Of course you’ve heard of the saying ‘it’s lonely at the top.  But it doesn’t have to be if you remember how you got there.  

Your Divine Helpers’ message is to ‘share the spotlight’.”

Making It Happen

             As much as I’m not super fond of the word “accomplishment” – that’s kind of what we will be discussing today.  (But don’t think that we’ll be focusing all on the doing and none on the being.)

             Because putting in the effort, making an attempt, is sort of our point right now.  (Doing it mindfully, though.)

Taking Action

             No, it’s not like the shoe ads, but it is an aspect of aimed attention.  Focused activity.   Forward momentum.  Action steps.  Movement.

             While we don’t want to get hung up on competition or comparing numbers, it does seem like this the time to get shit done.  (Apparently.)

             Even if what we accomplish is merely having some fun.  And there really is no “point” or end result.  Like, what if we simply said that walking was our goal.  No mileage, no time, no calories, just moving our feet and being outside.

             Or, as our daily draw shows, celebrating.

“3 of Cups  ~  The Happy Dance”

             Emotions, how we feel, the sensation of Joy.  That’s our message.  Go out, get something done, and have fun.

             (What are you waiting for?  Go!)

Maybe we aren’t going to even get a winter this year.
