It’s time to start putting your plan into action. You have the initial steps laid out, so get to it. Plans are living things, they grow, change and each time you finish one thing; a new thing is add on the end once things are up and running. Stop procrastinating! Get it done! Now! Seriously, you really need to get things started or you’ll lose the window of opportunity.

Additional Insight:

You don’t have to write the entire plan to start working on manifesting the first steps. What are you waiting for? Pick up the phone and start making the calls you’ve planning! You need to get started ASAP and in today’s energy, that means NOW!

The Divine energy of creation is flowing in your direction waiting for you to start using it to get things off the ground. Stop allowing your fear to put self doubts in your head! Stop questioning the well laid facts and documentation you’ve amassed. You’ve got things more than under control and now it’s time to bring your ideas into manifestation.

If you wait much longer you’re going to lose the window of opportunity that you’ve built up from months of planning. When you began this process months ago, you started the flow of creative energy. That flow touched many people around you and at a distance. People you may not even know but will need to make your creation a reality were inspired and began their own plans to complete projects, set up their own dreams and work on what they planned.

Don’t let the seething anger compromise your morals and values. Everyone feels hurt from time to time. But if you allow those wounds to change your beliefs and perspectives, you will lose the larger battle of walking your own path, your own way. Don’t let the overwhelming frustrations of others swallow you up into their fears and anxieties. Take a deep breath, go within and find your way back to your place of peace and security.

Additional Insight:

The constant barrage of challenges are not specifically directed at you, so don’t take them personally. You’re simply standing between the fear of others and the truth they don’t want to see or face. As an innocent bystander you can fight back and get caught up in the fight. Or you can duck into an alley and let the war pass by. Find an alternative route to avoid the fray that isn’t yours to wage.

Some battles are worth fighting. Some battles are worth avoiding, as they take your eyes off what’s really going on behind the scenes. Make sure you’re not being misdirected or fooled into looking away from the real treachery. That could be the entire purpose of the latest battle and the hidden agenda that lay far from the fight itself. Continue reading →

Be careful you’re not looking at those in your life today with rose-colored glasses. You must decide if the thorns of the past and the negativity that went with it is worth holding onto. If not, then stop repeating the patterns and let go of the old ways. Yes it’s scary to move forward into the unknown. Yes you may do it alone. But in Six months time, you will be able to look back on the shadows of the past and feel blessed that you made the right changes.

Additional Insight:

We stress over the struggles we go through every day and make the comment that we want things to change. Yet we continue to repeat the patterns in our life that keep us going down the same rough road.

Sure it’s easy to look back and see where you passed opportunities for change, but it’s not so easy when you’re in the here and now to see them coming. But that’s because you’re so busy trying to fool yourself and see what you “want” instead of what you “need”.

You don’t have to stand on your own. There are many supports that can help you balance your weight and carry the load. You may need to release some of that “I don’t need help” pride and lean on someone for a few weeks while you heal. But don’t look at this as a weakness on your part. Look at it as an opportunity you’re giving to someone else to learn the lessons of compassion, understanding and friendship.

Additional Insight:

Being hurt, whither it’s emotional or physical, is part of life. We all go through it and we all feel weak in the knees when it happens. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about nor is there anything to feel guilty or ashamed of. It happens.

We are judged more for how we deal with the hurt and heal through the injury. Do you accept the compassion and concern from others? Do you wallow in self-pity? Are you afraid to admit someone else was right and your rose-colored glasses were too dark to see the truth? Continue reading →

Work on your skills and practice your art. Even the best experts need to practice and evolve with new ideas and perspectives. Don’t assume you know it all. Arrogance will limit your audience and eventually cause your craft to become obsolete. Make sure you’re reading, learning and educating yourself on the new techniques so you can make sure that you stay relevant and productive.

Additional Insight:

No one knows it all or has the corner market on everything. It would take an awfully big corner to do that. All things in life grow and evolve. Even if you’re considered to be an expert, even your knowledge can be expanded with new ideas or recent discoveries.

Make sure you haven’t become to arrogant to listen to those new ideas, no matter who they come from. Someone younger than you may not have all your knowledge or experience. But they may have a new perspective of looking at things that inspired a new way of doing something more easily or more effective.

We must challenge each other and push the edges of our box to expand our thoughts and understandings. Whither we agree or disagree, we always have the opportunity to learn and support each other. Continue reading →

It’s in your nature to be up all night. It’s where your inspiration, imagination and problem solving is at its peak. Stop being scared of being in your element. Stop feeling lonely and out of synch. Use the night to search within, meditate, write, draw, do something that expresses yourself. You may discover who you are and what you really need at this time in your life.

Additional Insight:

Many people dread being home as the sun sets behind the Earth. Even those who are home all day by themselves feel something different about the night. The world becomes quiet and they feel sad, alone and cut off.

I know people who sleep with the TV on at night because they’re afraid to be in the dark. But it doesn’t have to be this way. You’re not alone and you’ve been given this time to do what you want to do and maybe even need to do.

Even those people who have someone else in the house, but segregate themselves to their own TV room or their own bedroom can feel lost and alone in a sea of people. But remember, being alone is YOUR choice! You can change that decision and change your life. Continue reading →

You must be strong and vigilant to keep the peace. No one is going to follow a weak leader. Stop doubting yourself! You will open the door for others to manipulate your actions. Gather information from all sides and make sure you understand the full scope of the issue. Make your judgement with authority and confidence. Make it understood that if new information becomes available, you’re willing to look at the situation again. But your position is clear and final for now.

Additional Insight:

Being strong doesn’t mean always being at war. It means having the authority and control of self to govern fairly and with wisdom. It means not being afraid to find the other side of the story and making sure you see both sides of the argument. But most of all, it means knowing when to dictate terms of peace and when to go to war. And then not being afraid of the battle if it does come.

It also means being able to control your emotions and reactions. A good leader is not manipulated by anger or hurt feelings. They cannot allow even their closest advisers to manipulate their thoughts to implement doubts of any kind. Good or bad. Continue reading →

You are the Sun in your life. You are the source of its light. You decide what will be nurtured and what will be burned. You control what will be seen and what will be in shadow. Don’t let the nagging and negative voices dictate what can be grown or what will be locked away. Believe in yourself and let your light shine with respect, humility and confidence. Do this and success is yours.

Additional Insight:

The rays of the Sun are like ribbons upon the Earth. Each light taking you to a different time in your day. When you view each moment from the ground, you may not see how each is connected and intertwined. But when you move above the physical world and view the moments from the higher self, you can see how you touch each piece of the world around you.

Some of your light shines bright and warms that moment in time and those who share it with you. Some of your light might pierce the ground and burn its nutrients away. Some of your light may hide behind obstacles spreading shadow and doubt upon the path you tread. And some of your light might enhance the road allow you to see more clearly. Continue reading →

Stop focusing on the lack and start working on solutions to turn it around. Yes it would be nice to win the lottery, but you can’t sit around waiting for that to happen. So stop putting everything you have emotionally in that ticket and start finding ways to get back on your feet. Start with defining your budget and stop wasting what you have on things you don’t need!

Additional Insight:

Now is not the time to splurge on anything. You can’t complain that you don’t have enough to survive and the go out and buy that new outfit, or that fancy new phone. Sure you can justify a wide range of things and why you must have it, but you’re only fooling yourself. And you know it.

The guilt you’re creating is from your own making. If you want things to turn around you’re going to have to stop wishing them away and start working to fix them in practical ways. It’s time to change the attitude and start focusing on what needs to be done.

If you’ve been working on the plan, great. At some point you’re going to have to start implementing it. You can plan from now until the end of time and convenience yourself you’re working on it. But a plan is nothing but a piece of paper until you start putting it into place and making it a reality.  Continue reading →
