When we see with our physical eyes, it appears that we are alone in the physical world. On the other hand, when we “look” with our feelings, with our hearts, we “see” that we are not alone.  I heard the following in a movie that I don’t recall the title to: “Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid.” It’s true, there are mighty forces that will come to our aid, and all we have to do is take the first step. It is also essential to ask for the spiritual realm’s assistance, giving our permission for them to intervene on our behalf.    

Follow your inner guidance and take action – BE BOLD – and mighty forces will come to your aid.

If you are feeling stuck, I suggest that you take some action on anything. As we move, it initiates a series of events that would not have taken place if we had remained stationary. If you are not sure what to do about something, perform some research on the topic of interest.  Researching a subject gets the “juices” flowing… ideas and insights begin coming into our consciousness.

Another method is to ask questions and keep asking questions until the answers come. It can be the same question over and over again until you get the response you’re seeking. Don’t give up; keep asking. As the ideas come, take action on what feels appropriate. If it doesn’t work out, modify, and move in a slightly different direction or even in a completely different direction. We are on a journey, and a trip does not usually go in a straight line. As a private pilot, I can tell you that even an airplane needs to make corrections, though it appears to be flying in a straight line. There is nothing wrong with taking action to find out that we need to make a correction and move in a different direction.

We often don’t take action because we are not sure if we are making the right decision – making the right move. We are fearful of making a mistake. My feeling is that if I am not making mistakes, I’m not taking enough action. As we take action, we receive guidance about necessary adjustments via insights, feelings, and other means, too numerous to mention. If we do not take a step in one direction or another, we are drifting backward rather than progressing. We need to be moving forward with the intent to make corrections on our course when needed. We came here to experience life and expand; we cannot do that by standing still.  

The following poem by W.H. Murray sums it up nicely:

Until one is committed,

there is hesitancy,

The chance to draw back,

always ineffectiveness.

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.

I have learned a deep respect

For one of Goethe’s couplets:

Whatever you can do,

or dream you can, begin it.

Boldness has genius,

power and magic in it.

W.H. MURRAY

THE SCOTTISH HIMALAYAN EXPEDITION

I can personally attest to the fact that by being decisive and initiating the process (rather than waiting for everything to be perfect), doors open that are totally unexpected.

Nothing significant happens until we commit (even a small step) and move in the appropriate direction. I encourage you to act and make adjustments as you go. Please don’t wait until it’s all perfect. Precision will come with the process, with forward motion and corrections as you go. As you do so, mighty forces will come to your aid.

Be joyful, embrace life and thrive!

With love,

Randall
