Doing It Right
2:36 p.m.
It is a beautiful, windy day in Southern California, I feel great and can’t wait to hear what my guides have to say, so I sit quietly with my eyes closed and ask the big question, what do you guys want to talk about today?
Spirit Guides: Today we want to talk about “Doing it right”. So many spirits are looking for the right way to learn their spiritual lessons. The great news for everyone is that there is not a right or wrong way to be spiritual. As you set about learning your lessons you have many choices to choose from for each individual lesson. Just as there are many different tools to choose from to dig a hole, whichever tool you choose, will work, it is just a different approach to the same thing. When you have new opportunities in front of you, like you have three different choices for a new job, there is no right or wrong. You will learn the same lessons you set out to do differently through all the jobs. Some people get so worried about making the wrong choice, that they make no choice at all, DON’T let this happen to you, pick a direction and go! The right choice is going forward, it does not matter which path you pick, just pick one and know that you are getting what you need, that you cannot make a wrong choice.
Be o.k. with whom and where you are.
My dumplings were a hit; I think my family liked them better than the stew. It is so nice to sit down to a leisurely family meal every now and then. It seems like it gets harder and harder to plan a meal around everyone’s schedules.
I tend to feel that I am always pushing myself to be better, to do better, and to do more. And then I am frustrated when I don’t get it all done. My guides keep saying be o.k. with who you are now. Be o.k. with where you are now. I wonder if I was o.k. with whom and where I am at this moment, what would motivate me to move forward. How would I spend my time, how would I pay my bills, how would I make a difference to others?
Spirit Guides: Being o.k. with where you are now really means accepting yourself for who you are, not who you think you want to be. This does not mean you will not continue to have goals and ideas of things to create and people to spend time with, it simply means you will be more content doing it. Being in the moment, enjoying it, treasuring it, no matter how big or small the occurrence is the most important part of the human experience. If you are not in the moment, but thinking and planning out your next steps, you cannot get the most out of the experience you are in. Once you accept that you are good enough right now, believe it or not, it will make it even easier to reach the goals and dreams you are after. Take an inventory of your day, was it nice or are you just glad it is over? Ask yourself what you can do to enjoy your day even more; the more you enjoy it the easier it is to be in the moment, to be o.k. with whom and what you are.
43 How to stop being let down by other people.
At one time or another everyone feels let down by people in their lives. I started thinking that we can’t be let down if we don’t have expectations of them. However, how the heck to we keep from having expectations.
Spirit Guides: You are on the right track here. There are times when you need other people to help you in your life, and quite often, humans do not ask for help. They expect the people in their lives to know what they need and expect them to meet their needs. So for starters, let people know when you do have expectations or they will fail and you will be hurt.
When you do have an expectation that is not serving you, one thing to do is to look at what need you have that is not being met and why you think you need this need met through a particular person. As you look at this need, you may start to realize that this is something you already hold within you and may find you don’t need outside help at all.
Being able to let go of expectations and except people the exact way they are at the exact moment is possible. You will have a hard time letting go of your expectations of others if you think or say things like, “I would never treat them that way” or “my friend Suzy would never act like that” you have moved into comparing and judging. Letting judgment go, will help you let the expectation go. Whenever you have an expectation, you can tell yourself that you are deciding not to have any expectations for this person and if they do something more than the normal, see it as a gift. You can use your grounding cord to send the expectation down, or put the expectation in a rose and destroy the rose. Making the conscious decision to let the expectation go is the first step that will lead into less and less expectations and away from further disappointments.
Help knowing what direction to take with your life.
It was clear to me that my Spirit Guides had their own agenda today, so I did not ask a question, I just let them speak through me. I am always surprised by what comes through my fingers and by how loud acrylic nails are as they click on the keyboard!
Spirit Guides:
We would like to help you define what direction to take with your life. Ponder these questions:
- If you could do anything you wanted for work, what would it be?
- If you could do anything at all, what would it be?
- What dream do you have that hovers in the back of your mind?
- What topics to you love to discuss?
- What is the most important thing in your life?
As you think about your answers to these questions, you might start to see a pattern. Do some or all of the answers point you in the same direction? When there is something in your life that you are passionate about, it is probably because it is something you should be doing. Even if it is something out of the norm like being a racecar driver. As a soul, before you got to earth, you set up lessons to learn, lessons to teach and things to experience just because with a human body you could experience them. These things that you really want to do, but have not, will help you do the things you set up to do much more easily. If you would make the decision to be open to doing what calls you, and take a few steps to explore how, it can happen and you will love it! You hold the power to change your life to move to doing what calls you. Anytime you are ready, just say so, your spiritual support group is ready and waiting to travel with you on a new journey.
