Trust and the rest will follow
Tuesday, November 4, 2008 at 9:34PM How many people have you come across who question their conditions, their motives, their dreams? You can view suffering as something you bring on yourself as a kind of karma. You can also trust as you make choices that feel right, that the rest will follow.
I have known people to give up the perceived security of a desk job to start a business close to the heart. Repeatedly, these people had no idea where the clients would come from, but they had faith. Their hearts and souls were stirred. They attuned to the source of their own powerful energy vibration. They are tested to the utmost.
One woman I know was a nurse administrator with considerable experience. She took a settlement package and opened a shop where she offered specialized consultations. She initially advertised in a paper with large readership. Yet, no clients came as the result. Yet, one passer-by who was greatly helped trigger a domino effect of this woman's first fifty clients. She has never looked back. Her business has flourished ever since.
Another friend is giving up a teaching position with a predictable salary to focus on promoting and marketing his new inventions. He has experienced numerous setbacks, but chooses to hold his head high. He is increasingly feeling he is attuning to a divine purpose and he is not at all the religious sort. Yet, he realizes his honorable intention.
In some sense, service, or how you render service to others, is what matters. Some people believe that the ways you give unselfishly of yourself are what reflect the imperishable jewel of your character. When you trust in your heart that you are where you need to be, then you open your mind. Amazing things unfold to expand what you see.

This is such a hard thing for most people to give up safety for chance. I know a brilliant graphic artist who is happy working for a major corporation. She won't ever venture into having her own graphic arts business because she won't have the safety net. However, she does manage to do her own business on the company's time. I guess it is the best of both worlds.
Well I have got to say I feel like I am part of your post, especially when you mentioned the teacher friend who is giving up the teaching position to pursue other interests.
Well, I don't think I shared this with you yet, but I am making this my last year of teaching. So in about 7 months I am going to walk away from my excellent salary and comfortable and enjoyable job as a teacher also and pursue my greater passions full time which have no security financially whatsoever.
But I think that is what living life to the fullest is all about - at least for me. I do have faith and I do trust my intuition that all will work out and the Universe will deliver according to my needs and passions.
Now that is the easy part, the hard part is when you come in contact with people who do have my belief and try to instill and implant doubts. Those are almost I would say dangerous situations because as strong in my thinking as I think I am, I know they cause little tiny creases of doubt that steer me away from my focus. But I guess that is all about strengthening my own trust and deep down I do trust that all will work out beautifully.
I came here tonight because I was feeling depressed about my struggling business and of course the right words were there for me.I find it amazing that I find my comfort in the words of someone as far away as Australia. The internet has certainly made the world a smaller place.
As for the internet, I agree that it does assist you to find what you are seeking. After you explore the web to find what you believe you need at a given moment through someone else, you learn to come full circle and find it developing in yourself.
Thank-you Liara.
