OVERCOMING OBSTACLES One way to gracefully overcome obstacles is to prepare yourself before you stumble. Many of you stumble over the same rock several times and either are unaware of repeating this pattern or once aware, you decide to take measures so you will not stumble on the rock again. This is the difference between unconscious and conscious living. When you pay attention to what is happening around you, the life you live becomes more meaningful and magical.
Once you are consciously aware of the rock, you come up with solutions to avoid stumbling over it again. In your mind, you see yourself either stepping over the rock or around the rock. Perhaps you choose to move the rock to the side of the path. Maybe you choose to put a colorful flag or sign next to the rock to alert yourself the next time you walk the path. Perhaps you choose to paint the rock a bright color.
Whichever choice you make creates a different impact upon you and the rock. However, the result will be the same; you will break the pattern of stumbling over the rock. You may find that your first choice isn’t effective. Let’s say you chose to place a flag next to the rock, but the wind blew the flag over and you stumbled on the rock again. Simply choose another method until the pattern is broken.
The best choice you can make with any pattern you wish to change is to stay in the moment. Be alert to what you are thinking, saying and doing in each moment. There will be less accidents and much finer living when each of you is paying full attention to what is happening around you. As each of you learns to appreciate the blessings in the current moment, you will realize how rich you are and how splendid the world is. We encourage you to look at behaviors and patterns in your life that are not working for you. List those you wish to change and visualize yourself responding in the manner in which you would prefer until they become habitual.
Many times, much underlying work needs to be done because your habits are closely related to your belief codes. As you walk your Path, you will need to change the habits that do not support your new belief codes. Do all in joy and do not beat yourself up when you falter. This Earth is all about possibilities and opportunities. Enjoy life and all it has to offer, for it will be over in the twinkling of an eye. You literally can rise above and shine your light for all the world to see! Selamet! Ix 3
