What is in front of you?
Some like to live the fully spontaneous life. Others like to plan their lives. And a lot of us are somewhere in the middle.
No matter what your plans are, the Universe will offer you possible diversions from them.
John Lennon said that "Life is what's happening while you're making other plans."
Late last month, I posted the intent to create two new videos for this website every week during the month of January. The intent was to slow down a little from the much more rapid pace of the previous month, to devote my attentions to sharing what I have created with a larger audience.
Stuff happens. It's almost the end of the month and I've done two total after producing more than 20 in December. In this time of massisve change, the Universe---or God, if you will---is pushing us to wake up, amping up the challenges to help us surrender!
Your setting of an intent for the way you are living your life is an invitation to the Universe to test you to see how serious you are about that intent. For the purposes of this discussion, there are basically two different kinds of diversions from intent:
One is called simple distraction: a brief or long path that takes you away from your intentions' fullfillment and does not provide any benefit that approaches the benefit of manifesting the stated intent. Please read that sentence again, because this is not language that you hear very often. It may seem foreign. Your mind may tell you it's too complicated. Actually, it is very simple.
Sometimes that simple distraction is inherently destructive. Sometimes it is just about avoiding the claiming of your own power.
The second kind of distraction from an intention is one that offers the possibility of an equal or greater manifestation than would have occurred if you had just stayed focused on the original intent. Let's call that "positive diversion."
Now please consider the possibility that as we more and more consistently remember to identify with the heart and soul, we massively multiply our ability to tune into our deepest heart wisdom, our inuitive sense, to guide us.
As we get better and better at learning how to trust this inner sense, we find that it is more and more easy to trust our knowing about what path to take when the Universe throws a diversion at us. It the diversion a simple distraction or is it a positive diversion? Your heart knows, and it will tell you if you tune into it as your Master.
What's in front of you now? What do you feel guided to do with your life? What kinds of steps will it take to get you to where you intend to be?
Consider taking some time today to ponder these ideas. Can you choose to build your trust in your inner power to decide how to proceed with your life? Will you choose to let your heart be your Master as you decide whether the new situations and path choices in your life are wasteful distractions or positive diversions.
My suggestion here is to spend some time with this and identify some of the decisions you are faced with making, choosing to trust your power to know what choices that will serve to raise your consciousness, which will serve to serve "others" and which are simply wasting valuable time along the road to a world in harmony.
What's in front of you?
