Recently I followed the crumbs of intuition on purchasing some rugs for my kitchen in a thorough way area of my kitchen to secure a runway for my dog, who likes to run through the house once he figures out we are going on a walk. While this is a small issue in my life, I wanted to illustrate the process I went through to find my rugs. My end result of this blog post is in hopes you will let go of your negative self-dialogue to problem solve and trust in spirit to find your way to create mini-miracles in your life to accomplish your goals.
This past Spring, I had spent months trying to find some rugs in stores and online I liked and came up empty every time. So I had pretty much given up, but always put out to the universe to show me how to find the rugs I would love every time I saw those ugly rugs instead of feeding into self-defeat. Several months later, I was out shopping and decide to stop by a large chain store to buy some smaller rugs and saw a rug in a larger size like some of the rugs I had at the top of the stairs in the kitchen. I wondered if I could find this rug in a large enough size & would be mostly satisfied with it. This got my wheels turning again. I didn’t find the sizes I was hoping for, but knew of another of this chain store that had a bigger selection and would check there when I had time.
On a Friday night going into a holiday wknd, I was feeling inspired again to go shopping. As the wknd. progressed, my inspiration continued and somehow morphed into shopping for rugs on Monday. By then I was even more determined to buy new rugs to replace the very worn ones in the kitchen, that day. So I set out only to come up empty handed again. But when I was at the last store, I had a strong feeling to go home and go back to this one rug web page and search for grey rugs, a color I had not searched before. So I went home and did that very thing. As I logged into this web page, it instantly popped up there were having a 20% off sale! Awesome as these rugs were expensive. I now felt more inspired and rewarded! Then I searched for the color grey, 8 pages of choices came up. On the 1st page, 3rd row down were my rugs! Wha-lah, finally, done! And I didn’t settle for something less than what I really wanted. Lesson accomplished!
To me, this experience illustrates the many layers of discovery we go through to find our answers in life while inlisting spirit and being guided by spirit. While this is a trivial issue, it shows when you are true to yourself, you find what you want at the right time. We often let our minds and emotions get in the way when things don’t pan out when we think we are ready. We often fall off the path & become impatient and make a poor choice, delve into confusion and lose our truth, become fearful, beat ourselves up or give up to name a few responses.
While my old rugs were eye sores to me every day & I couldn’t find what I truly wanted, that reminder kept me in the hope I’d find my rugs. Sometimes you have to let it go and turn it over to the creator, spirit guides and angels and wait until everything lines up for you to find what you want as you continue (create action) to maintain hope your answers will come. Listening to when you no longer feel motivated because you have exhausted your known resources to continue and take a break. Pray and meditate to be shown what it is you are seeking. And have faith the answer will come in divine time as happened to me with this example.
Let me draw an Oracle Card to see what spirit has to tell us. I am asking what everyone needs to know to stick to their truth to find their way through their present obstacle they are faced with. I drew a card from “Wisdom of the Oracle” by Collette Baron-Reid: “Here and Now” is the card. The essential meaning of the card is “Being fully present in the moment; living one day at a time.” This card talks about paying attention to the present and what is going on around you now. It reminds me of a friend who recently posted that he prayed to God to have an amazing, fun-filled retirement. Since then he has had ankle surgery & a hip replacement. My response to him was that when you ask for something you are not quite ready for, God does deliver, but often times it requires cleaning up the messes to get what you wished for. If you are asking for something you are not prepared to do, you will have to go through trivia/healing within yourself and in your world to accomplish what it is you are seeking. Your want may be bigger than you are able to handle. Or you may be asking for the wrong thing that is not in alignment with who you are and then have to be taught what the real truth of what you want is – cleaning up your motivation. When connect with how your heart feels when you seek something, you often know whether is feels like clear skies ahead or if there is a block of some sort. Or you may feel at a complete loss as to where to start. That is when you have to turn to prayer, talk to your angels and spirits guides to show you your next step. Meditate & pray every day on finding that path to your desired truth be shown to you in a kind, but undeniable manner. Your mind has to be quiet to hear the answers and your eyes must see honestly to see the answers that will be presented. Those choices can try you to see if you will follow your path or take the easy road. Wherever you are at with your roadblock is where you start prayer and seeking your angels to help you. Recognize the self denial, betrayal, lack of patience on the path to your true answer and don’t be stopped short of your goal, your truth, your desire, your fulfillment. Motivation and honesty are everything in finding your way. Again, most importantly, start your prayer with asking for help with whatever self-defeat you are feeling at this time. It is one hurdle at a time to reach the finish line. Once you realize that you truly can call on your angels or spirit to send you the support and answers you need to get past your block, rather than worry, stress, fret and give up, you will begin to accomplish more than you can ever imagine possible. It is getting off that cruel train of self-conditioning, that negative inner dialogue, those learned reactions that create halt. Once you just turn to spirit & your angels with trust and faith you realize you don’t need to think your way out of anything anymore. Instead you can trust your heart to keep you on your path to truth and follow the bread crumbs to your truth.
Peace & Love, Susan
