Seeing the Opportunity

Ocean Avenue Santa Monica

Sometimes when we are disappointed in a situation in life, it's because it hasn't gone our way. Often, in hindsight, we will realize that there was a reason.  We might choose a new direction or path.  If things had been comfortable, we might have stayed in a scenario that wasn't really right for us.

My dance partner Fred Boothe used to tell me, "Just remember, everything happens for a reason."  Each person plays their part in the story. If we listen to our intuition, and follow our hunches, we will experience coincidences and opportunities. Even dark times have benefits. As the saying goes, "Every cloud has a silver lining."

I've always believed in having a grand master plan for life. You don't need to know exactly how you are going to get there, but it's important to know what your heart desires.  When you focus on the feelings that you want to experience, it helps you to attract those situations. Follow your heart and your dreams will come true.   The heart knows what makes you truly happy.

Planting Seeds For Your Future

When we are working towards achieving our goals, our intuition always knows the most direct path. Sometimes we won't understand why we are being led to do something. On the surface, it may seem unrelated. If we proceed anyway, we will probably understand the sequence of events later. Often our subconscious mind will give us signposts along the way. You may notice a business or street sign that you never bothered to look at before. Or, it could be a number that you always liked. You might feel a nudging to take a class or track down an inspiring teacher. Maybe you will decide to call up an old friend or coworker who has just the lead you need! If we write down our goals, and then let go of them, we can start taking small steps each day to move towards our desired outcome. It's important not to have an "all or nothing" attitude. Success takes time, patience, perseverance, and dedication. If you love what you are doing, putting a lot of time and energy into something will be enjoyable. The ego will try to thwart you. It will want to quit, make excuses, get lazy, and sabotage your dreams. People with committment issues often double book their time. If you proceed anyway, with discipline, keeping your eye on the prize, it is very likely that you will achieve or surpass your dreams.
