Be Tired of Waiting OR Begin it now.. take the first step
I have always believed and known that it is we who have to be committed and take the first step and only and only then the universe steps in to support.
Just intention is not enough. It can be an intention to travel or invest in your spiritual growth or begin your spiritual enterpreneurship.
We all wait until things are smoother, better, we some how live in the illusion that once this or that happens, we will take that step.
This postponing or putting off or feeling that right now too much is going on or that I am not ready or I dont have enough strength or resources comes from a space of feeling “I am not worthy enough and I am not good enough”
We keep waiting for things to get better, we keep intending and intending and hoping and things keep on getting entangled or complicated or stay put..
Get this – just manifesting / intending things to manifest IS NOT ENOUGH.
Yes it is not.
You have to take that first step. It could be towards your creative endeavors, your decision to invest in your growth and learning or sharing your gifts with the world.
If you keep waiting until things get better, until you get better – trust me – this is NEVER going to happen.
Only and only when you find the courage to take that first step – even though you may not have finances, feel you are not capable enough, or feel overwhelmed by existing challenges and you move forward INSPITE of that, it is only and only and only then, that the future gateways open.
If not, you will find yourself perpetually waiting and perpetually postponing doing things that deep down in your heart you really really aspire to do.
The fear is so strong, that many times we donot even know what that is… Because it takes courage to take that responsibility and leap of faith.
Precisely why the spiritual journey is not that of love and light only.
It is about being a ‘warrior’ and finding the courage to dive deep into the abyss of our fears / pain/ darkness and accessing that and tapping into the unconscious resistance.
And when I say resistance, yes ALL of us have it. Yes, even the most successful people on earth.
The difference is that they somehow find it within themselves to walk the path until the path starts walking towards them and finding them.
Mary-Lynne Monroe shared this beautiful quote with me during our private chat. It is a quote by William Hutchinson Murray. In his book The Scottish Himalayan Expedition..
It is quite in resonance to what I have said and always all ways believed.
Enjoy reading and absorbing
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
