Moving Right Along
By Sabra JennyA frequent
question that comes up in readings is how to move forward when you feel
that you’re really stuck in life. Many people think this is a
complicated process, and that there are so many obstacles in the way of
making progress in your life. The truth is that moving on is only as
hard as you make it.
People often think the Universe is holding them back for some mysterious
reason. The Universe doesn’t conspire to hold us in one place, and
actually thrives from the energy created by change. It’s more a question
of allowing yourself to take a leap of faith, let go of the past, and
begin moving forward.
An ancient Chinese proverb tells us that the longest journey begins with
the first step. This is true in all things, especially the journey to
enlightenment. If you don’t begin a thing, you can’t go on.
It often takes great courage to take the first step towards making a
change you know you need to make. Looking ahead to the final goal can be
daunting when it seems difficult to achieve, and far away. Yet taking
one small step at a time completes that journey to your final goal, and
even if that first step is a doozy, at least you’ve begun.
Approaching your goal takes planning and strategy. When you’ve decided
to move forward, it helps to have some idea where you’re going. Once you
choose your direction, it’s wise to know what obstacles you may
encounter, and what possible options you’ll have at those points. But
beware of getting stuck in the planning stages. Your plans are only
useful if you implement them.
Remember the way that babies learn to walk. First they pull themselves
along on their bellies. Next they get a little altitude, with a slightly
better view of the road ahead, and crawl carefully. Finally, summoning
up their courage because they‘ve learned that they can move forward,
they stand upright, and tentatively take the first few steps. It can be
that simple for you.
In a nutshell: Step 1: Make a commitment to change. Step 2: Decide where
you want to go. Step 3: Check for obstacles in your path and ways around
them. Step 4: Get moving!
I give readings that help people move on in their lives.
