Excavation

"If you can be clear about what you don't want,

then you have the capacity to shift toward 

clarity about what you do want."

Shiela Reynolds

Isn't it odd how we can immediately jot down a list of things we do not like, but when listing things we do  like, it becomes a much slower process?  Aught it not be the exact opposite?  When someone asks about our day, do we respond with joy or dismay?

The process of discovery entails weeding out what does not meet our expectations and  excavating obstacles that impede our progress.  First and foremost, however, is the necessity of having a clear vision of that which we seek.

When we are able to have a strong sense of self, a clear scope of what we desire emerges. Our course can be set, navigation determined, and a dream destination envisioned. With clarity, our energies support, align, and flow towards our carefully chosen goal.

Real Or Imagined

"There is a vast difference between listening to fear

and thinking you need to act in response to it."

Shiela Reynolds 

It is imperative to listen to our fear as it can trigger awareness about our safety.  To bring our focus to what is nudging us, can accelerate our ability to evaluate a situation.  What we habitually tell our lovely selves about fear, however, may hamper a fair assessment of concern.

To facilitate appropriate action we can simply decide if this is something we need to eradicate or control.  Too often, our energies are fed into the aspects of fear itself and not the situation at hand. We become handicapped by our definitions and degrees of fear.

Fear can be fueled by earlier trauma or existing pain from previous mishaps.  By all means, if the situation requires immediate help, proceed; but, if there is any doubt, one might want to regroup and reassess.  What we choose to focus upon frequently attracts fear whether real or imagined.
