Summer of Change, Extra #4: Divine Design


When you hear the term ‘divine design’ what does it bring to mind? Foreordination? Strict lines? No choice because the choice was already made for you?

What if it was something different? I believe divine design is simply this: that we are all meant to have everything there is to offer. We are meant to have health, wealth, happiness, and love. Consider them the four corners of your world.

And each one of us can have that.

There is no lack in the universe. Lack is a human invention. We keep thinking there isn’t enough: Not enough time. Not enough money. Not enough food. Not enough drugs. Not enough…

Get my point?

Much of that is a control issue. Either us trying to control our environment or someone trying to control us.

When the fact is, there has always been and will always be enough. For every human on earth. Every single one of us. Not everyone wants the same thing, true, but our divine design, the plan to bring us those four corners, has already been laid out. The things that will literally bring us the most happiness in the easiest ways.

Because no matter what anyone has told you? Life is not meant to be hard.

So, how do you find this divine design?

Remember how I have mentioned that god/I AM/universe/divine mind/all that is’ness exists within us? That there is an eternal part of us existing within. Neville calls it “our human imagination”. Florence says it is the god within. Whatever you wish to call it? It matters not, as long as you realize that you are the creator.

This is what I did. First off, you should know that I meditate daily, so meditation comes easily for me now. It didn’t so much at first. But I got myself into a meditative state, thanked divine mind for all the amazing things in my life. Then I simply said “I wish to live my life by divine design, to only wish for that which is for my highest good.”

I did this a lot. Over the next few weeks, I found some ‘desires’ I had drift away, no longer something I wanted. I found other desires intensify, letting me know they were part of my divine design. And I have also had new desires come up for things I had never even considered before.

This is how it worked for me. You may find a different path as what works for one may not work for another. But from everything I’ve studied and from my personal experience, if you ask the divine-that-is to help you live by your divine design, it will. By doing just what it did for me, removing my desire for that which no longer served me and increasing my desire for that which does.

So, ready to live your own divine design? It’s exciting and a little scary. Scary? Yep! Because everyone I’ve ever talked to and I will admit, me too!, had the same thought at first: 'But what if divine design wants me to do something I don’t want?'

Looking back, I have to smile, because first off? Divine Mind wants you to be happy! Blissfully, wonderfully, eternally happy. It is not going to push you into anything and it is not going to suggest anything that will make you ultimately unhappy. Sure, there may be a few growing pains, but those are of short duration and are usually just the expunging of old emotions you no longer need. (And are usually caused by you fighting to not let go.)

And knowing you are following your divine design? Knowing that you are heading toward your ultimate happiness and that you are truly on the right path? It is happiness, joy, and the ability to look forward to each day with expectation. It is learning things you never even considered before, learning to commune in a different way, and finding amazing strength within yourself.

So I challenge you to consider if you are ready to learn your divine design. If you are? You’re about to travel the most amazing journey you’ve ever had. If you aren’t? That’s okay. One day you will be.

Pity Party: Party of one

It is difficult looking into the mirror when I am dealing with having what I have to call a midlife crisis. It took so long to get passed my past. I still struggle with some things, but others I have overcome in a large way. So here I sit - I don't feel 43 for the most part, but the hard thing is - I am.  All the things most people are learning in their early 20s, I am dealing with. Now, that would not be bad if I was 21. But I am not 21. I'm 43. The only single men around me are divorced. Most with children. Great. Just what I wanted. (And yes, that was sarcasm.) Not to mention the fact that I seem to attract men I would never be attracted to, not in a million years. Yeah - definitely putting out the wrong vibration.

Review: Bob Proctor 10-week Intensive Coaching Program

OK, I did it. I completed the Bob Proctor 10-week Intensive Program. And intensive it was!~ This program has its good points and its bad points, all which will be mentioned here. But make no mistake about it - If I had it all to do over again, I would! The Bob Proctor Intensive was a 10-week program that used "You Were Born Rich", one of Bob's programs, as its base. The first four weeks were spent with reading intently, watching the DVDs intently, and listening to CDs of the DVDs intently. The last four weeks were spent working toward a specific goal.

Look for the Light - #positive

Image
You know how they always say it is darkest before the dawn? Well, unfortunately, the same goes for emotions. Sometimes we feel about as low as we can get before we make some sort of breakthrough. So next time things seem overwhelming and you think you are drowning, look for the light. It could be anything. A laugh from a friend, a dog sunning itself, even a pretty flower. Or, it could be getting that book you have been wanting for months. Embrace that light. Hold it tight. Remember it. Take a picture if you need to, so that when the darkness encroaches again, you have a clear beam to make it go away. Look for the light.
