If, by Rudyard Kipling
"If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don’t deal in lies... Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master.
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,pon
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be (Successful, my child!)"
These words went round and round in my head last night, as always I strive to be a better person (even when it does not seem to be my goal); to fulfill my destiny, and to find the love that I am seeking... a partner that fully supports who I am at my core. I am not desperately seeking just anyone, or anything; I am peacefully learning to understanding myself fully in the world, to know exactly what my compromises are. I will then put my wishes and hopes out to the Universe; that I serendipity will follow and I will connect with 'the one' that both matches and challenges my soul's journey; as I will theirs.
Upon clearing and meditation, I am once again reminded to Focus; a reminder to know what it is that I am choosing to focus upon; to seek the time, and the awareness, to sit in peace and open up to all thoughts, ideas, visions, and to ask for clarity. To Surrender then to the outcome of the possibility. For me, on this day, I am being asked to go back and to re-write (I suppose is the correct term) the vision. I do know that my vision board IS aligned on a physical level... to now re-define the terms and values to match my present day circumstances. Finally to Trust and Believe that the path that I have previously traveled, was to serve my fullest potential as I move towards new beginnings... that by creating a full heart, that is ever overflowing with love, potential, and prosperity... to understand and respect that there is value in my gifts; which flow through the hands of the Divine Spirit/God/The Creator. There are no mistakes; only errors in judgment, and choices made from limiting beliefs. These mistakes are meant to serve. Allow them the Grace.
The Second Message that I received is in regards to a rather unbounded perspective on Protection. As a society, the past many years have harrowed many many messages, far too many, that lead us, or perhaps, have taken us away from the fullness of our being. Distraction and Chaos. I ask each day to only 'Do and BE my very best.' The first step is to GIVE myself the best that it deserves; to STOP 2nd rating who I am and my worth. This can be so disheartening. If I give my best, if I live my best, and if I love my best... what more could I ask? Set my intention during meditation and to hold this awareness in my heart.
The final message, most interesting, is a renewal of understanding prosperity and abundance; perhaps then to separate it, rather than lumping it into one full swoop. Prosperity means so many different things to each and every one of us... even within households. I am being asked to look deep within my own heart for blockages and limiting beliefs; all that may be holding me back... in EVERY area of my life. To visualize and meditate in order to release.
I am committed to this mediation each night before sleep. It truly does allow for an expanded awareness and has assisted me in releasing blockages. I do a similar meditation with clients, but have found this to be just as effective. This journey and my writings are my truth back to knowing that it is safe to own and set my own values on prosperity and abundance. To set these as intentions and then catapult it all out to the Universe... to allow; to surrender, and then watch as serendipity matches my own vibrational pull based on my new beliefs.
My final thoughts brought forth one last message for today. A reminder to teach our children not only about the fullness of financial prosperity, but also the broadness of the abundance in every area of our life. To do so, is to empower future generations. And Children are our future. Teach them well. Teach them the prosperity of love.
A life lived well, is a life well loved, with truth, honesty, and integrity. Always, thank you for allowing me into your life, for but a brief moment most days, to share my journey, so that perhaps a spark may open something within YOU that in turn creates a wave of love, prosperity, joy, happiness, and lessons to be learned... the important ones... and they are ALL important as we walk forward. <3
Peace and Love. Lori-Lynn
