The Courage to Continue
Written by Misty-Eve
Friday, 10 April 2009
When things seem to be not working in the way that you wanted them to, what do you do? Do you throw a tantrum, and stomp your feet, or do you stop to consider the message in this set-back.
The message of this decan is that of "Courage". 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.
Is my desire strong enough to carry my initiative through to completion?
"As a highly connected global society, we're moving rapidly toward having to make important choices that will affect our present security and the lives of future generations. The world's problems could get worse before they get better. But the very challenges of this time period also present opportunities for a significant shift in human consciousness."
~ Doc Childre and Howard Martin, "The HeartMath Solution"
"Problems invite us to go inside to recognize a bigger picture of ourselves and of life. This bigger picture brings meaning to what is unfolding. When you feel trapped in a problem, see if you can shift your perspective. Ask yourself, "What is my soul inviting me to learn from this situation?" The answer will always revolve around a quality or value, like gratitude, freedom, compassion, love, will, humour or acceptance. The answer will also always promote union rather than separation. As soon as we find the meaning in our challenge, our resistance to it melts away. Often, awareness of the lesson is all that is needed to resolve the problem. If not, the awareness brings us courage and ways to work through it."

"Feel with us for a moment, the feeling of PASSION. Exhilaration, enthusiasm, you know that feeling. Well that means, relative to the first of the two things..strong desire. And relative to the second..no resistance. In other words, passion means 'I am summoning LOTS of nonphysical energy through the power of my desire and I am not vibrating opposite of it, I am ALLOWING the energy that i am summoning'..that's what the feeling of passion is. Now, feel with us the feeling of contentment or peacefulness. In this moment, not much desire, but no resistance. Now feel with us the feeling of frustration. Some desire, some resistance. Now feel the feeling of strong frustration, or anger, or guilt is a strong one, or some depression. Strong desire, strong resistance. Do you get a sense of what we are talking about here?"
~ Abraham-Hicks
If, by feeling bad, I am not allowing Source Energy to flow into my plans, then it is my task to change how I'm feeling. Regardless of whatever disappointments may be experienced, I can change how I feel by dwelling on my gratitudes. There is still a lot to be thankful for, and much to be that can still be enjoyed.
I can also change how I feel with a little encouragement from my friends. Notice how the word "courage" is contained in the word "encouragement".
What do YOU find in your "now" to count among your blessings?
"Generally, appreciation means some blend of thankfulness, admiration, approval, and gratitude. In the financial world, something that 'appreciates' grows in value. With the power tool of appreciation, you get the benefit of both perspectives: as you learn to be consistently thankful and approving, your life will grow in value."
~ Doc Childre and Howard Martin
The trick to staying happy is to take your mind off of things that arent working, by making a decision about what youd rather have instead.
Then think about how to accomplish what you want with what you have to work with, and let yourself be guided to the remedies that are available. That way, its easier to let go of the past and look forward to a delightful future!
"Anything that you are wanting: don't stand in the lack of it and lament that it isn't there and expect it to come to you. It cannot. Find a little piece of it, a little string of it, a little trail of it, a little clue of it - look for something about it, and focus upon that little piece, and by Law of Attraction, watch it grow!
~ Abraham-Hicks
Where can YOU find the Courage to hold on to your vision?
Its worth thinking about

SPREAD JOY AND CELEBRATE LIFE
Spread joy around you. You can do that with something as simple as a smile, a laugh, a word of encouragement to a fellow traveler, a favor for a friend, a helping hand for a parent.
Share love with everyone, in the form that your soul tells you is most appropriate to the moment and to the kind of relationship that you have with each person -- and with yourself.
Go now and create your world as you would have it be. Go now and celebrate your life, and everything that makes you "you". Go now and recreate yourself anew in the next grandest version of the greatest vision you ever had about who you are.

COURAGE: QUOTES OF THE DAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life is mostly froth and bubble, but two things stand like stone,
kindness in another's trouble and courage in your own.
~ Princess Diana (1961-1997)
The greatest test of courage on the earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.
~ R. G. Ingersoll
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
~ Aristotle (384 - 322 BC) ancient Greek philosopher and scientist
Success is never final and failure never fatal. It's courage that counts.
~ George F. Tiltonood

HOW DO I INTERACT WITH OTHERS?
Begin to pay attention to how you interact with the people in your life: family, friends, and co-workers. Do you surround yourself with people who energize you or drain you? How do you react emotionally to these types of people?
Do the people in your life support you, or do they want you to be dependent on them? Do they enable you to stay emotionally wounded, or do they encourage growth and change?
Always listen to your intuition when it comes to dealing with others. It will provide a clear picture of what is really happening.

THE FIERY MESSAGE OF ARIES: Wake Up And Live! Enjoy Life! Be Happy!
People are that they might have Joy. The real meaning of Aries is the message of reincarnation - Wake up and live!
Most folks are not aware. They are not aware that they dwell in a waking dream state, passing in a stupor past the multitude of images and shadows that they perceive as life. "BE AWARE" - says Aries - be an active force in the creative processes that recreate the world each moment of each day. Emerson says that if you would have the power, DO THE THING. Aries says to us that if we want to do something - just do it!

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.
