Infinite Side of Possibilities

My very best thinking has gotten me to where I am today… let that line sink in for a moment, think about it and toss it around in your brain. My very best thinking has gotten me to where I am today. That line is the very reason why I am a LIFE Long Learner.


I am not condemning all that I have accomplished up to this point, or judging who I am. I am defining myself worth to be that of a person who strives to do better than I have done before. To learn from all sides of my experiences and to challenge myself to reach higher. I am an apprentice of lifelong working towards an existence of self mastery.


A great mentor of mine told me once that until you have put 10,000 hours into something…it truly has yet to become the best that it can be. Once you have dedicated 10,001 hours into something… than you are considered good at your craft… So as a student in human form, I am following my intuition step by step to build my faith and self awareness.


The Teacher always shows up...once I decided to adjust my perspective, everything changed. I now look at everyone as a Teacher with something most valuable to teach me. It is my job to figure out what the learning is for me. This shift in thinking has allowed me to stop judging others and opened up the doorway to LOVE them. When I stood in judgment of others in the past, I did not define them, I defined myself as someone who felt exalted over others…and how could that have been true, since we are all one…and in that oneness, we are all equal.

In allowing myself to join the infinite side of possibilities, I have the perspective of immeasurable abundance. Through these eyes, I see Solutions; I become a solution provider and permit myself to no longer be a part of the “predicament”. This is why I am actively moving towards not only learning more but also applying the new teaching into my life.

It is amazing to me to witness how hearing something at just the right moment, helps it to stick in my thoughts and show up as actions. Even though I may have been shown the same lesson over and over, it is when I am awake to the possibilities of the lesson that I can learn from it.
So here’s to the over 10,000 hours of self mastery, self love, and self acceptance… within that lesson not only do I teach others how to treat me… but I learn how to divinely treat them as well.

Most Humbly.
Namaste.

The Road of Life...YOU are in the Driver's Seat.

As I was driving home the other day, I reflected on how similar that being in the driver’s seat is to Life. For most of my life I thought I was a passenger, feeling like life was happening to me instead of claiming responsibility for the journey that I was on, it was much easier to sit back and ride along.

However, when I looked glanced up at the mirror I realized that I was in the driver’s seat all along. I was merely looking at the reflection of my life; where I had been. I could go no further on my journey when my center of attention was simply on my past. Focusing on the rear view mirror will never show me what is in my future, it only show’s me what has gone by and where I came from...that was a part of my trip…but not as important as where I was going.

In the driver’s seat of life, I get to chart my path, I decide who rides with me, where I may stop along the way. By starting the car, having a plan, and putting the car in drive, I decide what is next. Sometimes, people may come onto the highway and cut me off… I keep going, sometimes slower vehicles may slow me down, but that gives me the opportunity to look around..and not speed pass some great opportunities that I may have overlooked. Even with great friends suggestions acting as my GPS system, I AM responsible for getting to the destination.

“The past will never change, but you can
change the future by changing your actions
today. It is really a very simple process.
We, as humans, are always in a process of
change. Therefore, we might as well guide
the direction in which we will change.”
—From The Traveler’s Gift

I wear the seat belt to remind me that yes there are going to be bumps on the road…but that is all a part of the trip. I may drive down a gravel road or a smooth highway, either way; it is up to me to keep focused on the road ahead. I can glance behind me for a moment to remind me of where I have been; however focusing on the road ahead will bring me closer to my destination.

My Grandfather used to say, “No matter who you are, No matter what you are, You Must Start where you are.” I would like to encourage you to Start. (Turn off the cruise control.) Decide where your destination will be, put your life on drive, focus on the road in front of you, know your goal and make it to your destination. Even though it sometimes feels like you are on the road alone, you are not. Some of us occasionally travel in a four wheel drive and are only a phone call away to give you a push.


Remember that Every Action that you Take, Every Decision that you Make…Everything that YOU do MATTERs.

I love you,
Most Humbly,
Marcia
