Here's A Thought....

No Guarantees

In spiritual evolution, there are no guarantees. Life is unpredictable. So this path requires both an unconditional commitment to victory and enormous patience. If we are very serious about this endeavor, we have to become the exemplars ourselves. It has to start with our own unconditional commitment to victory, knowing that there are no guarantees. The very fact that there are no guarantees underlines how urgent our commitment is, because we don't know how much time we each have to do this. We don't know how long we're going to be here. So the worst thing we can do is to waste time. Traditional enlightenment is about going beyond time, but Evolutionary Enlightenment is about doing something in time, because evolution can only happen in time. Therefore, don't waste time. From the perspective of evolution, time is the most precious commodity. Time is all we have to develop. Many of us have been culturally trained to spend an enormous amount of time worrying about our psychological needs and desires, our ego's fears and concerns. And this is understandable, but the problem is that it robs us of time that could be used to participate in life in a much deeper way. If you have the strength and clarity to look at your own life from this perspective, you won't want to allow yourself to waste time, because you will realize you are wasting the precious chance you actually have to evolve.

I soooo love this quote!  The older I get the more I realize

what a waste of time worrying is, frettting over things we

cannot control, sitting in our minds and turning over and

over again, the why of something...Much better to let all

of our 'whatevers' fall away and live in the present moment.

I find myself at times worrying over things my daughter

has done or said to me and after a much needed kick in the

backside from Spirit, mine or Mother/Father God's, or even

the friends who know you intimately and you realize A'HA! 

Why am I doing this?  Often(times), I am reminded of the

good old Serenity Prayer when doing this polluted thinking

and bring that into my awareness and then get up and on

with living in the present moment.

It happened to me very recently when something occured

that I thought should have gone a different route and I

fretted and actually cried over it for a few days. My Sister

by Blood then said something that kicked me in the butt

and set me back on the right path.  Thank Goodness! 

There is no Time like the present to do and be, and not be

worrying over what we cannot control.  After all, we cannot

control the Universe, but we can control our reaction to it?

That is when we evolve mentally, emotionally, and yes,

the most important...spiritually.  Contrary to opinion we can

teach an old dog new tricks, lol!  So Today...I'm not wasting

any precious moments, unless it is my choice to sit and be

still, to take in the wonder of the beautiful universe around

me, to read a good book, to create, to pray, to BE.  I'll do

it with intention...I'll Thank The Blessed Universe for the

Time I have to do it in!

Here's wishing for you those magickal moments that make

up the Essence of You, no matter what you are doing.

Have a Beautiful Day!

P.S.  We are under Heat Warnings here so I've been out

changing the Hummingbird Food as I have one lone female

who has been coming to visit me and we are getting to

know one another quite well.  I've also been giving my

Plant People a good drink of water and got some Nasturtiums

planted this early morning while it was still a little cool.

If you have Hummingbird feeders don't forget to change up

their food every three days or so...I've been busy learning

all about their habits and one thing I learned is that they

can actually get drunk from food that has not been changed

as sugar ferments...I didn't know that but it makes total

sense!   We don't need drunken Hummingbird's flying about!

I've really taken to this new connection with the hummers

and am getting so much out of sitting in their illumined

energy.  The are sooo otherworldly, social, and loving.

If you'd like to see a great video about a woman who talks

with them follow this link and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!
