The Courage to Hold the Vision
Written by Misty-Eve
Thursday, 09 April 2009
It takes courage to envision what we want. This is because we are so programmed by todays society to dwell on whats wrong, to focus on it, to keep lists, and be continually reminded through the media's reports on the things we all DONT WANT.
How silly this is!! How can something GOOD come out of gathering up and pondering all that negativity? The Law of Attraction tells us that if we gather negative thoughts together well get more negative thoughts from the pondering all the wrong-doing.
If the Law of Attraction brings into our lives those things that we dwell on the most, then playing with the idea of what we WANT will bring it into our lives.
Its easy to day-dream. Its so fun to dream about the reality I want in my future. It gives me such a good feeling to dream about the way Id like my life to be!
This is because we are more closely connected to our core being when we are envisioning our hearts desire. When we are being genuine who we are at the core of our being then source energy can flow through us into that vision.
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
~ Krishnamurti
Would you say you are well-adjusted? Do you accept things as they are because that's how it's always been. Or, do you see profound changes that need to be made?
. Are you among those who are not satisfied with life the way it is, and want to make changes for the better?
. If you want changes to occur, can you envision what those changes might entail?
. What would your life be like if these changes were in effect?
Do you have the Courage to hold on to that vision, no matter what else is going on?
It's worth thinking about...

DON'T AVOID THE VOID
"When we feel stuck, going nowhere - even starting to slip backward - we may actually be backing up to get a running start."
~ Dan Millman
To change, we must go through a transition zone. It's not easy being in transition. Thoughts, beliefs and habits are all in flux. It can create a sense of groundlessness, of being in a void that can be quite uncomfortable.
When were in the void, our first impulse will be to revert to old habits because they feel comfortable. Our goal is to hang in there until the change is complete. Knowing that TRANSITIONS ARE PART OF THE CHANGE PROCESS helps us muster the courage to put up with the discomfort, the uneasiness, the void.
Change requires a letting go of what weve always known and done to allow in something new. We need to trust ourselves and higher forces to unfold a new reality for us.
"Every positive change - every jump to a higher level of energy and awareness - involves a rite of passage. Each time to ascend to a higher rung on the ladder of personal evolution we must go through a period of discomfort, of initiation. I have never found an exception."

COURAGE: QUOTE OF THE DAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Change A Heart; Change The World
~ Lyrics by Jump5
Every dreamer has dreamed of a perfect life
I know the world has been trying for years to get it right
We try and try, but find it impossible to do
Don't you wish we could make this a better place
Can't you see that we must live life a different way
Every day, imagine what love could turn this to
Wanna change the world, then change your mind
We'll light the darkness one life at a time
When we change a heart, we change the world
A spark of love can turn into a fire bright as the sun
If you change a heart today
Then that could change a million tomorrows
What started as a whisper will echo on and on
When we change a heart, we change the world
A voice is waking a heart to the light of day
A tiny flicker of hope can push the night away
It's safe to say a caring heart brings another back
Can you fathom a world where we open up
Can you picture the day we've all been dreaming of
Live and love like right now is all we really have
Wanna change the world, then change your mind
We'll find forever one day at a time
You may think it's crazy But that's alright with me
It's gonna take some time to find the way
But I believe...
~ Lyrics by Jump5

STRENGTH AND COURAGE
It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubts.
It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.
It takes strength to share a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.
It takes strength to hide your own pain,
It takes courage to show it and deal with it.
It takes strength to stand guard,
It takes courage to let down your guard.
It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.
It takes strength to endure abuse,
It takes courage to stop it.
It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on a friend.
It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to be loved.
It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live.

ARIES: "I AM"
2nd Decan Influence: "COURAGE"
March 30 April 9
Courage follows initiative like a ram follows an ewe. Courage comes directly from the power of the will, stemming directly from initiative. That is to say that desire powers the will and initiative gives one courage. Courage is the capacity to carry what you have started through to final completion. DOING gives courage, and sees it through.
