Decisions: Staying in my lane...
Decisions: Staying in my lane...
There is not one I’ve made yet that after fully completely looked back at and have regretted, being that I am just living and learning–succeeding and failing. Might I mention all the time! But in my right mind, higher mind and my heart that I’ve grown to rely on, it has always comforted me with this underlying feeling “It’s all going to workout in the end” and so far it has in many ways.
“I’m staying in my lane” with what appears underneath the noise of my mind of mistakes and failure, is the soft “spokeness” of my heart of growth and wisdom.
We focus too much on outside appearances and people’s reactions of to circumstances. Pre-programmed to view or look at things without seeing it through your own “higher” perspective. Granted I am being general here but when we don’t react to, judge or see something the “way majority sees it” we are examined or battled.
I recently read “A child that falls will look to his mother to see how he should feel about it. If the mom laughs they child will laugh and move on. If the mother panics the child will cry.”
With that being said we have a choice on how to look at the decisions we’ve made when we fall.
Ultimately, my greatest lesson learned on making the “right” choice…the best way to make a decision that has helped me with choosing a career:
The obvious:
Will I regret not doing it in my later years?
Does it resonate with my values, beliefs and spirit?
Does it make me want to get up in the morning and work at it all night?
Is it in alignment with my dreams, goals and ambitions?
Most importantly:
Does it make my heart "sing"?
Now after making your choice let go of the attachment to outcome. We must learn how to be comfortable with the unknown. Let the past of unsettled emotions from bad decisions heal.
When you feel at peace and happy you’ve made the right decision.
With Love,

The Best Compass for Decision Making
The Best Compass for Decision Making
As we approach the Easter holiday, many people will be contemplating the life of Jesus. Some people will be feeling gratitude, others guilt but what I would like to suggest is love.
“You have so little faith
in yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact that perfect love is
in you, and so you seek without for what you cannot find within.” (p.293) ACIM
I was
raised as a Free Methodist; my mom was very strict--related to the tenets of
our faith. I remember being happy and content with this as a child but as I
became a teenager, I felt disconnected. I was a woman and I was taught that I
was the weaker sex, less intelligent, and not capable of the heights of spirit
as the males in my life. I rejected that the God that created me would be so
cruel to limit my connection with him due to the sex he made me. So when I was
14, I started my search for a belief that recognized my worth and permitted the
growth of my spirit.
Fast forward many years, in 2001, I had one of the most terrifying experiences and one of the most beautiful realizations in my life. I was working with a disabled young man as nurse doing Reiki. I was beginning to learn about Angel Therapy. My main focus was developing my spirituality. I had found a beautiful place with God/Goddess/Universe interacting with the Angels and Ascended Masters on a daily basis. I was very happy with where I was but spirit had something to teach me. I can be stubborn at times, so of course to get through to me they had to go big.
I was in
a great mood that day. It was the first day I had my new car and as I
left work the car did not move as I pressed the gas, it was stuck. So I
hit it and I hit it hard. What followed was screaming, crying and lot of
praying and in the end it digressed to swearing. I know it was maybe only about
5 mins. in total but not being able to stop the car engine revving so high and
loud, I went though stop signs and a set of lights, luckily green. I had never
been more scared. I called on all the Angels: Arch Angel Michael, Ganesha, (the
over comer of obstacles), anyone I thought would help. And the car was still
out of control. I had never had spirit fail me, so then I got MAD and I started
to swear at the top of my lungs. I screamed “Jesus Christ, help me!” He and I
both knew I was swearing but desperation had got me to call on Jesus and he
helped me the instant the words left my lips. The car reverted to normal. As
soon as I could I pulled over and just cried. I was so grateful I was positive
I was going to die. Spirit wanted me to see I could call on Jesus. It is not
only Christians that revered Jesus as a teacher and a healer. He is mentioned
in Muslim and Buddhist texts, as a great man.
Whether
you believe that Jesus was the only son of God or not, it is up to you but I
would like to direct you to some of his teachings. You will find the same
message in the gospels, Gnostic gospels, A.C.I.M., or the book of Mormon.
If you take away all of the dogma and the different views of the different
faiths you will find his message is love: to love God, to love each other and
of coarse to love yourself. Love is the compass I would like to suggest.
Ask:
- If
I do this am I being loving towards myself?
- If
I do this am I being loving towards others in my life?
- If
I do this am I being loving towards God/Divine?
- If
I do this am I being loving towards the animals?
- If
I do this am I being loving towards the environment?
If you
can answer yes I am being loving, then do whatever it is you wish because it
will only benefit us all.
“Love will immediately
enter into any mind that truly wants it.” (p. 55) ACIM
Jesus and
I are now friends. I have read many books about his life and some of my
favorite are from Margret Starbird. Our relationship is ever evolving. When I
call his name, I immediately feel a deep sense of peace, love and warmth. He is
helping me become a more loving and stronger healer. I now happily sit at his
feet learning the miracles of love. I have learned I never needed to throw out
the baby with the bath water. I was never limited because of my sex from Jesus.
It was others that added that dogma.
“Love is patient and kind;
love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not
insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at
wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends; as for prophecies, they
will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass
away. For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when
the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.” 1
Corinthians 13:4-10
In Love and Light,
