Reach Out

Many situations will happen in our lives that we simply do not understand, when circumstances render us baffled, frustrated and angry. Our tendency is to over think each and every detail that has put our minds in disarray; Causing us to delve deeper and deeper into the fear of tomorrow and struggle to let go of our past. These are the moments in time when we have a dynamic need to change the direction of our thoughts and begin to allow ourselves to free up our hearts with faith that everything passes and never stays the same. Right now, in this very instant we all have the strength and power within us to move beyond the fear that binds us and rise above the hard feelings that drag us down. When we are at our most vulnerable and feeling as though we are at the edge of a disastrous cliff, we can feel safe knowing that there are willing hands to reach out to; the hands placed there by God in our perfect Universe.

Sometimes we allow pride and fear to work hand in hand, keeping us from dissolving frustration and pain that resides in our mind. We will intuitively learn that occasionally we simply can't survive all circumstances alone; the wonderful and spiritual aspect of this is realizing that we never ever have to. Our choice is simple, we can stay stuck in the raging waters of fear or reach out to the willing hands ready to pull us aboard the vessel floating down the river of hope. Once aboard, each of us can carry one another to the destinations of our greatest desires. Fear is a powerful force, however faith and trust command that we look inside our hearts in order to discover our greatest good. We can allow ourselves right now to reach out to the willing hands ready to guide us toward our greatest hope.

Dream Together

One of the greatest fears we may encounter is allowing ourselves freedom to trust others and the world around us. Each of us have had and always will have situations arise in our lives when we feel misunderstood, weak or baffled by the circumstances that are going on inside of us. Often our tendency will be to shut down and isolate, cutting off opportunities to let ourselves be guided by positive energy that surrounds us. A great gift in life comes from the power of support that can be found by slowly dismantling the walls that we have built up around us up to this point. It is not an easy task, but by making little changes and taking tiny little risks each day we can teach ourselves to see beyond the walls in front of us and free ourselves from fear that binds us. We will gain independence by allowing ourselves to depend on the resources that have been perfectly placed around us and letting go of the idea that we have to handle life alone.

Each of us have an unlimited amount of hope that we can offer each other. The trick is to allow ourselves the freedom to receive these gifts and be willing to share our unique individual strength with all that we encounter. There are circumstances that will happen in our lifetime that we don't see coming, feelings that render us confused and isolated. As we teach ourselves that we are never alone we will discover that anything thrown our way can be eased by the simple concept of sharing and being open to the unlimited amount of resources that can be found with our own true independence. In the flow of The Universe we will discover the answers we seek by allowing ourselves dependence on the perfectly placed gifts all around us. The smile of a stranger, the company of an old friend, music that touches us in any given moment, envisioning a bed of golden sunflowers and the unlimited hope we can give each other. We can walk toward our most magnificent dreams together.

Hold onto DREAMS

Hold onto our dreams while letting go of the distracting factors that cause us to feel as though we keep getting knocked back. Even when we are clear about a vision of what we are trying to accomplish on our journey there will be times when outside sources interfere with our intuition. These are the times to start taking little risks that have nothing to do with all that we believe from past situations. Too many times we look at the results of our past as negative things like "bad luck", "poor judgement" or "that is impossible". Fear may have us feeling as though we are being judged or held to a certain standard of living that simply does not allow us to feel alive inside our hearts. When we allow past experiences to dictate certain choices we make, it could conceivably force wonderful opportunities out of our lives. As we learn to live moment to moment and trust our instincts we'll be able to find that the great mystery unfolds beautifully all around us.

We are all imperfect, living in a perfect world. Mistakes happen, however so long as we are breathing, visualizing, accepting and staying in the flow of the Universe we have within us the capacity to be alive in our hearts and true to our souls. Most of the time our biggest detractors are caused by past situations and an uncertain future that we can't control. All of our past and all that will come have one thing in common which is that they each had a moment of right now. Just like rivers go through droughts, winters become spring, darkness turns to light and tiny seeds become colorful beds of flowers; We too can grow and change in any given moment. Hold onto our dreams no matter what happens to come our way, find what keeps us alive inside and create the life we imagine.

Let Potential Flow

Sometimes we may find ourselves struggling to let go of situations that we can't control. We will find ourselves really trying to make things right because certain ideas seem so overwhelmingly beautiful in our minds, yet they just do not seem to flow in tune with our expectations. It is important to teach ourselves that our own actions are all that we can control and to leave the results in the plans of something far bigger than we are individually. One major part of following our dreams is having the ability to redirect ourselves toward them; Even if it means leaving behind people, places and anything else that hinders us from finding our bliss.

Now and then we may stumble across situations that seem like they have the potential for greatness, though they just do not seem to work for us no matter what actions we take. These situations can not be looked upon as failures, but as great lessons in letting go. We have the potential to be anything and do anything that we set out to do, so long as we realize that we must let go of expectations. Occasionally we will find ourselves swimming upstream to catch an elusive aspect of our desires. Instead, let us jump into our own individual raft and let it flow freely down the river of happiness. Take in the beautiful world all around and leave what troubles us behind. We will find that everything we truly need will be flowing down the river right along with us, toward our greatest dreams.

Reveling

Each day a new journey begins, the moment in time that we are capable of issuing a statement to The Universe that we are ready for anything and everything that comes our way. We will make mistakes and certain things may not go as we plan them. These situations do not need to baffle us if we are trusting guidance from the source of good within. Out of fear that we may never comprehend, we expect too much out of ourselves and others. Expectations create false senses such as resentment, anxiety and entitlement which will always have us in fear of a future that we have no control over. We can teach ourselves to live in the moment by making tiny little changes everyday of our lives. Breaking up our routine just enough to make a slight difference in our thought process that will inevitably take us in the direction of our dreams. So long as there is air to breathe, sounds to hear and imagination in our soul we are capable of enduring and REVELING in all that the world sends our way.

There is no need for us to be disappointed in the cards we are dealt, we must find a way to simply play the hand the best way we can. Sometimes rain will fall on the day we intended to walk in the sun, instead of staying inside we can choose to run through the deepest puddles we can find. People we love may leave us, rather than decide what could have been, remember all that was great. The expectations in our minds may tell us that a dream is impossible when our hearts are telling us something completely opposite; Let us free our minds of fear that things will not go our way and REVEL in the deepest imagination of our soul. We will walk in the sun on a rainy day, enjoy every moment shared with others and follow our dreams wherever they may lead.
