Card for Thursday, February 12, 2015

“You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind”

-Author unknown

Action

Are you stuck and have feelings of dullness caused by in-completion? Now is the time to take the physical steps to turn your vision into reality!

Or…..Perhaps fear is preventing you from moving forward. Are you saying to yourself, “Maybe my life/relationship isn’t very fulfilling but it’s okay and at least it’s familiar - and since I don't know what's going to happen if I take action, I’ll just stay where I am.”

Yet fear is necessary at times. Fear can be an internal feeling that tells us when something isn’t right - which keeps us from realharm. Ask yourself, “Is my fear trying to protect me from actual harm, or is fear keeping me from growing? Is this situation creating a space for love, abundance and happiness….or just familiarity?”

Perhaps you’re not moving forward because you are waiting for certainty of success first.

Waiting can be an excuse to avoid taking action. Another reason for not taking action is because you may need more clarity before you begin.

To bring more clarity you can:

Research and get the facts.Talk to others who have done it, or read a book on it.

Ask yourself: “How will this affect my…. Life style? Reputation? Money? Time? Energy? Values? Taking action requires you to give up something… even if it’s just your unwanted fears.

Next, prepare a plan for action. Some prefer to just live by faith. At times this is appropriate. But faith can also be a state of dependence and a relinquishment of responsibility, empowerment and maturity. Live by inspiration. Only plan and take action when you feel joyfully inspired to do so.

Then, announce your plan to others.Announcements are statements of confidence and belief in yourself – they're saying, "I believe this ‘…..’ is right for my life”…. (if it eventually brings wholeness and happiness to everyone involved). Refrain from hype and empty promises – just let the end result be your glory. When others see the value or change for themselves - trust is built.

Announcing your plan also builds your momentum in starting out. It makes you accountable to others, and others can personally share in your journey - possibly providing support or a helping hand!

Then, after you have freed yourself from the uncertainties or ‘what ifs’, and you feel realistically prepared, it is time to move into action! Experience the relief, expansiveness, satisfaction and vitality in your soul, once you do!

Take life’s risks to insure you are living life to the fullest!
