  • I have no idea how the many steps in my life will add up.

    Life-Path Story Mazes – #24 I have no idea how the many steps in my life will add up.

    Each day I take the steps in my life-path.

    I think I know where I am going.

    In some ways, I do, but there are so many other possibilities that can enter my life at any time.

    I can see my way to certain goals.

    There are other events which sometimes pull me off track.

    There are occasional side trips which enrich me.

    I feel a deeper connection to what is within me.

    That is the Guidance I am learning to follow.

    It shows up in very practical ways.

    It also introduces ideas which are quite large.

    Everything is accompanied by the tiny step to start it off.

    This only comes at the right time to take the step.

    When I look back, I can see patterns that emerge.

    I can only guess at how those patterns will continue to take shape.

    My life is malleable clay through thought and action.

    It is not brittle, but flexible as long as I do not resist the direction I am being given.

    I can bend and sway like the grasses in the wind, but I am firmly grounded.

    I last through the many seasons and changes of life.

    I always emerge anew.

    My steps have taken me through different careers, raising children, living in different locations and cultures.

    My world view results from a collection of many different experiences.

    Even though there has been so much intensity, it is the restful times that I value the most.

    I can reflect and breathe and receive ideas for the next step.

    I can prepare for the next episode in the adventure that is my life.

    I am grateful to listen within and to move with divine timing.

  • Less

    Meditation Drawing 3.37 Less

    More and more, I feel less and less concern about what other people think of me.

    It has taken an enormous amount of work to realize that I exist in my own right.

    I do not exist in terms of society’s demands, although I worked to fulfill them with great persistence and commitment.

    I do not exist in terms of the values and practices and attitudes my family imposed on me.

    I do not even exist in the attitudes and opinions of the children I raised, or my employers, or my colleagues, or my friends, or people on the street.

    I simply exist.

    I am happy to exist in the terms I define for myself.

    I didn’t know I could do that, but it turns out that it is true.

    I can hold my own opinions.

    I can celebrate my own wins.

    I can take on challenges which are important to me.

    I was made wrong for so long that discovering that I am OK was a revelation.

    I do not have to consider others’ opinions of me.

    They are coming from their own viewpoints and experiences.

    I can be happy in my current form.

    I love choosing a direction to go and following it through.

    I love learning a new skill.

    I enjoy taking on a new challenge and learning what I need to complete it.

    I go at my own pace.

    I do not have to set any records.

    I am content to be the person I have discovered is me.

    Who knew?

    I am free to enjoy what I love.

    I am delighted to share what makes me happy and I hope you are doing the same.

  • Even a linear life opens up into new expression.

    Life-Path Story Mazes – #23 Even a linear life opens up into new expression.

    We may think we are taking logical steps to get to our goal.

    We take them in a methodical and faithful way.

    We are obedient and disciplined.

    And we are excellent.

    But there is something missing.

    A feeling of fulfillment is missing.

    Excellence and discipline are wonderful qualities to put into our work.

    We can advance in a very practical way.

    When we realize we need something else, we open to that possibility.

    The deep yearning for fulfillment allows us to go deeper.

    We cannot predict the answer.

    We cannot reach it in a logical manner.

    We simply yearn for it and that powerful emotion creates a different pathway.

    Our need for fulfilling expression sets a different frequency in motion.

    We are more authentic with ourselves.

    We align ourselves with our true feeling.

    This is an attracting force.

    Unexpected coincidences appear in our life.

    Different things catch our attention.

    We notice our surroundings in a new way.

    We look up.

    And finally, we look within.

    In the deep quiet of our listening attitude, something moves.

    It is a thought.

    We feel a very quiet, powerful thought.

    There is a sense of trust which we will return to again and again.

    This is the beginning of our journey.
