When you listen amazing things happen... or are we nearly there yet...

I feel like I have two alternative posts tonight.... which one to pick??? One actually still feels a little premature and they are both related... ok here goes, option A!


When you listen and then act amazing things happen.... who knew? On the back of yesterdays post I decided to do a little experimenting.... and test the theory of listening to the message the universe was trying to give me and doing it - rather than my normal MO of waiting until its the only possible option left available. Please lets not examine why I think this is an intelligent MO to use to live my life now... its not the only possible option left - what can I say - old habits die hard...


Anyway, I tested the theory, put aside my ego (some of it anyway - the not so helpful bit that is partly my pride and partly that horrible little voice in my head that says you cant do this, it wont work, you will fall flat on your face) and acted. I showed I had the passion to pay the price as Sheila calls it or Shraddha (faith that you are moving in the right direction) or perhaps it was more a case of Virya (positive energy of ego that is the support for the faith of going in the right direction). Either way it worked. Better than I could have expected. I am a convert. I managed to cause an intention to manifest. AMAZING.


I realise this next year is going to be full of similar challenges, where things wont seem possible, and I will have to fall back on to this technique again and again. I will have to commit to my dreams, understand and appreciate what I am trying to achieve, be prepared to act to uphold these dreams, to be prepared to do things that are new and scary for me and to do things differently... and then I have to hold my focus. It sounds simple. It looks straight forward. After today's experiment I know it isn't. Its hard. Its a matter of doing something when that nasty little voice of fear in your head is screaming at you to do the opposite. But, the return is HUGE.


So here is to learning how to manifest intentions, to learning to listen and act on the feedback you get as the results are amazing. The thing is, once something has manifested the next one appears, therein the beauty... but I do feel a little bit like a child on a car journey wondering - are we nearly there yet....? I want it now.


What can I say, I am a work in progress...
