January…As we stand on the threshold of this brand-new Month and New Year, it is uncertain what lies beyond this fabulous open doorway.
Another year, of umpteen millions of opportunities, the potential is maximillious!! (a made-up-word) boundless, and transcendent!
And so if we and as we, release fears, doubts, limitations, impossible, miser, mentalities and expectations.
We create space for favour: for the boundless ever resplendent dynamics of the I AM I™ light, to light the path ahead.
Each new year, most fancy they will make their resolution to change, to grow, to become that to which they set their resolve, yet, six to nine months down the path, they find themselves becoming less and less sure that the resolved goals are feasible.
And this often occur because after they created their beautiful, amazing intention, they forgot or else did not know that they needed to actually put energy into it.
I have long ago learned that a resolve takes more than just a wish, or a prayer, or even reciting a few affirmations. And of course all these are useful, and acceptable, and necessary too.
However, one’s resolve demands actionable determination, and a personal steadfastness of will to continue regardless.
Now, this is where the path sometimes gets tricky. Along this amazing path of your brand new sparkly, shiny resolve, lies bends, and cull-de-sacs, new routes, diversions, or temporary road works.
We need therefore, to tread along mindfully, holding one’s resolve as both map, and stay.
Many have turned back, turned off, becoming misguided or totally lost the plot. The resolve must be the goal, the guide and the compass which leverages the pursuit.
A cul-de-sac or dead end as some might say, is no reason to quit the resolve. It might simply mean that we have used up the route up to this point. So what to do when this happens? When we face a dead-end situation, we need e simply cross over and make our way in the opposite direction of the dead-end, holding the resolve in the lead position, and you will soon find another route appears, and that the destination point is intact. Such a willingness requires patience, and steadfastness.
In the case of a temporary ban on you going further. Here one might put the resolve on the backburner as it were, watering it with generous amounts of positive affirmations, prayers, and consciousness meditations.
If and when the path becomes constricted, to a point where it looks as if it is still possible to stay on the path, although to do so will require climbing over a few or many styles, fences, bridges, hills, mountains, and valleys. Does one abandon the resolve at these points?
No! we do not abandon the resolve. However, we can certainly pause momentarily to review and refresh the resolve, from time to time.
A resolve may change along the way!
This is something that many have never been taught. Unfortunately, a few learnt it the hard way, and sadly, some even pass away, never quite fulfilling their resolve – they did not know, unaware, that it had changed.
However, if one’s resolve is a lifetime resolve then LIFE itself will make a way for you to see it through. If it is not, then a change will occur creating what seems like new path ahead; and this will be a million times more suitable.
In fact, though we might say it is a new resolve, because it may look and feel like it is new, however, it is not really new at all; we simply grew out of the original resolve mould, because the resolve expanded, and demands more leverage in order to realise.. to manifest.
