Holding The Vision

When we begin working with the powerful tools of the mind, we can quickly become impatient to see our desires manifest into our reality.This time between our awakening to conscious awareness and the power of our mind and the manifestation of our hopes, dreams and desires into our lives, can be fertile ground for more personal growth and development.

If we get this important time 'wrong', that is if we allow our impatience, our ego and our fears and doubts to get in the way, then we will stand between what is our stated intention and it's manifestation into reality. We need to get out of our own way at this incredibly creative time. Patience: This is something I have had to learn throughout my life and I see it as a very common theme among many people all through their lives. Our impatience can lead us to abandon a particular path or course of action before it has had the opportunity to deliver it's gifts to us. Our impatience can cause us to be blind to the signs and the opportunities before us that would have led us to that which we have been working towards.

Our impatience can rob us of some incredible experiences and so it is important to understand that all things come in perfect timing, perfect place and in perfect ways. Learning Patience and Allowingness are two important steps on the path to self mastery.

Acceptance: This tool or gift is closely related to Patience but it has more to do with the energy of the allowing part of patience and our wish that our vision for ourselves manifest just as we wish, if that is for the Highest Good of ourselves and all those involved. This level of acceptance allows us to wait for the perfect delivery of our vision. This level of acceptance allows us to see that there may be a different way for us to receive our desired outcome and to recognise that there is a bigger picture in operation in the Universe.

This level of acceptance allows us to remain open and loving and flexible in the face of delay, of changed plans, of apparent failure and to look for the lessons, the signposts and the treasures hidden in every event of our lives. Fear, Doubt and Worry: Are the enemies of every deeply held dream, of every good intention made, of each vision we hold for ourselves that has not yet become our reality.

Our minds can be our dearest friend and our worst enemy. As we go about our lives, the mind can fill our heads and our hearts with doubts about our deservedness to receive that which we intend for ourselves.
