As we create the life of our dreams,
we often reach a crossroads where the choices involve the risk of
facing the unknown versus the safety and comfort of all that we have
come to trust. We may feel like a tightrope walker, carefully teetering
along the narrow path to our goals, sometimes feeling that we are doing
so without a net. Knowing we have some backup may help us work up the
courage to take those first steps, until we are secure in knowing that
we have the skills to work without one. When we live our lives from a
place of balance and trust in the universe, though we may not see our
source of support, we can know that it is there.
If we refuse to act only if we can see the safety net, we may be
allowing the net to become a trap, as it creates a barrier between us
and the freedom to pursue our goals. Change is inherent in life. Remove
fear from the equation and then we can devote our full attention to the
dream that awaits us.
We attract support into our lives when we are willing to make those
first tentative steps, trusting that the universe will provide exactly
what we need. In that process, we can decide that whatever comes from
our actions is only for our highest and best growth. It may come in the
form of a soft landing, an unexpected rescue, or an eye-opening
experience gleaned only from the process of falling. So rather than
allowing our lives to be dictated by fear of the unknown or trying to
avoid falling, we can appreciate that sometimes we experience life fully
when we are willing to trust and fall. And in doing so, we may just
find that we have the wings to fly.
When we believe that there is a reason for everything, we are acting
with the safety net of the universe, and we know we will make the best
of whatever comes our way.(Daily OM)
