belief is your friend and doubt is the enemy.  Doubt does not help you in any way. Belief in yourself and in the help that is there for you will continually lift you to new places of being.  Doubt will drag you down to repeating the past or living out the life others had intended for you, but not the one you are intending for yourself.

 

Have the experience.  Live your life.  Dare to break away from the safe and rational.  If you open up your world, you will see that it is entirely possible to live a life with a solid and steady base that fulfills your basic obligations to yourself and your loved ones, yet contains much new adventure.  Just open to it and intend it and it will unfold before you.

 

Then when the door swings open, take a deep breath, fill yourself with courage and walk through.

"Without the truth we ourselves become powerless"

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire

world all at once, but of stretching out to

mend the part of the world that is within

our reach. Any small, calm thing that one

soul can do to help another soul, to assist

some portion of this poor suffering world,

will help immensely.

As of this very second, I allow myself to be blessed.

As of this very second, I allow myself to be blessed.

I allow myself to be uncorked, unabashed, and showered with delicious good in every facet of my life.

I don't need to fit in anymore, in the world of struggling, suffering, complaining, belittling. I am going nova and that's okay. I am willing to have things be easeful and brimming with sheer wonder and I am willing to deserve this. None of us deserve this. That's why it's grace. It's not about deserving. It's about allowing Spirit to love and give to us.

Spirit, I am willing to allow you to give to me now. My work here doesn't have to be oppressive. I don't have to plod up hill anymore, dimming my song, or accepting crumbs and crusts and bowing my head. I can keep my heart wide-open and parade through wide-open doors in a welcoming world. I believe you want every golden circumstance for me. I believe you want me to experience more fun, jubilance, connection, generosity, nurturance, and synchronicity than ever before. I believe you want me to know your nature and your nature is not one of limitation or punishment or lack of any kind. I believe there are doorways to your kindness that I haven't opened yet. There are oceans and skies I couldn't see because I subscribed to the map of the world. There is honey I've never tasted, bounty not of this realm. But I am willing now to let go of the familiar and allow your unparalleled love.

I am willing to let go of what I think is possible or right or worldly or to be expected---and I am willing to allow you to dream through me, dance through me, breathe through me, grace through me, vibrate through me, peace through me, burst through me, light through me, laugh through me, gleam through me, dream through me. I am willing to co-create with you and I am now willing to no longer limit your power with silly, tired thoughts about my own. I am no longer willing to shape your destiny by crunching mine into a little ball of stunted possibilities.

Finally, I am willing to allow myself to be cherished and loved and nourished wherever I go and in whatever I do and it' s not too much to ask for, it is barely enough, because there are so many dimensions of goodness and promise that I have yet to experience. The more I allow myself to receive---the more I can open up to receiving and giving my true love to this world as I have never given before.

quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
