  • A complex life may require complex periods of growth.

    Life-Path Story Mazes – #13 A complex life may require complex periods of growth.

    When I lay down a calm foundation along my life-path, I am better prepared for complex periods of growth.

    As my projects get more complex, I require more resources to find solutions.

    As my outreach expands, I need to bathe myself in calm in order to percieve how to best serve those whom I can most benefit.

    The first, simple, basic step of inner listening is always the key.

    What is complex is doable in many tiny steps.

    The goal leads us on.

    The goal to be of service allows us to unravel complexities in order to fulfill our goal and mission.

    Each step is like a stitch in a beautiful tapestry.

    We can see the complex picture taking shape with each step.

    We do not rush to do our work, because the even tension of our work requires consistency.

    We move at a steady pace, pause when we need to, and move on with confidence.

    Each part of the project has room to grow in that way.

    Even when we see a solution, it may require many tiny steps to complete each one well.

    We build in the feeling of excellence when we do not rush.

    We know there is always time to do excellent work.

    Our periods of  personal growth do not need to be rushed.

    In fact, they cannot be rushed and still have the feeling of calm and stillness which we desire.

    The best thing we can do is to provide beautiful surroundings for ourselves.

    We can provide the kind of aloneness which makes no demands on us for anything.

    In the deep peace of contemplation and aloneness, we can hear the next tiny step.

    We can feel the reassurance of wholeness.

    We can feel our body relax and move out of tension.

    We can see and feel the development with complete assurance and confidence even without knowing exactly what is next.

    We move into complexity gently as we take on this next stage in our growth.

  • Keeping my spirits up.

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.24 – Keeping My Spirits Up
    I used to think there was a point at which everything would be all right forever.

    Now, I know that what is constant is the attaining of peace and accomplishment at every step, through every challenge.

    And what an interesting life it is!

    I have come to associate any heaviness which I feel with world conditions or something that I am reacting to from the past.

    The way I lift up my spirits is to consider how I can give.

    That was the directive I received several years ago during a time of great challenge and great depression.

    As I journaled, I found myself writing in all caps, two lines high, “GIVE MORE!”

    So, that has become my first step in lifting myself up, to consider how I can give more.

    This has led to developing a new career which I adore. 

    It is something which encourages me to learn more interesting skills. 

    I can share my love for what I am learning and create ways for others to learn it, too.

    When I start writing my inspirational blogs, that starts uplifting me.  

    I know to continue through as many topics as it takes until I feel completely happy.

    Then I am directed to particular projects to work on.

    That creates a completely different kind of flow than a checklist.

  • Sometimes there is a long period of growth before anything new comes into my life.

    Life- Path Story Mazes – #12 Sometimes there is a long period of growth before anything new comes into my life.

    I am accustomed to listen for ideas.

    I discovered long ago, that if I get quiet enough and stay in the quiet, that an idea might creep in.

    If I honored it, and listened every day, it would keep showing up, until I could tell what it is.

    I know this will happen, because it happens over and over again.

    Usually, there is a steady and delightful flow along my life-path.

    But sometimes, there is a pause.

    It used to scare me, but I know that it is just waiting for the right time.

    There are things in development in the Universe.

    I am one of the elements in development.

    I am waiting for the other elements to come into play.

    The Universe is bringing us together.

    When I need to become familiar with something new, it may take longer.

    I may need to acquire substantial skill.

    I may need to grow emotionally, spiritually.

    The Universe is creating a platform to support the new idea.

    I may need to practice what I already know.

    It may be time to go deeper.

    I wait, impatiently.

    I wait, patiently.

    I wait.

    It does come.

    The Universe is continually expanding my life.

    I am willing to grow.

    It is my newest skill.
