YOU Happen

For Scotty and those that want more

"What if: rather than life happening to you, You happen In life?”

It started with a request within my heart. How to do this life thing to my fullest potential?

Once received, like lighting, I was struck with the magnitude of what was being shown to me. I must happen within life to happen at all.

But I didn’t get that in the moment, all I received was the quote above while doing morning dishes. I wrote it down on the chalk board in the dining room and let the answer sit. I shared it with the family and I took a deep breath.

I ran versions of its meaning in my head daily. I continued to focus on what I desired to receive in my life. I started to live slowly, focused on the smallest of shifts that would transform my day or my week. I felt the thread of “happen in life” tugging me. I was getting closer by slowing down and utilizing intuition.

Yes, intuition is key, AND it has become more than that. While the intuition is the Spirits gift to us to help us along the way, the truth is far deeper. Intuition is the building block to more focus in all aspects of life because it draws us near to the inner dialogue. The inner dialogue that is going on regardless of your intention, this is where it all happens and why we need to be present to hear what is being said.

Let me explain.

Your thoughts lead the way in every moment. The moment you have a thought the ripples of choice reach outward like an electrical current working to bring that thought to manifestation. You don’t have to know you’re doing this, it is happening. Once you understand this, paying attention to your thoughts becomes paramount because you know how things are working. Your intuitive nudges are the directional arrow saying “this way, please” to fulfill the thought you sent out. Here is where the power of being attentive to thoughts and focused on the nudges comes in: You have to turn inward to listen and in doing so you start to stay focused, intentionally creating new thoughts you would like to see come to fruition. Desire is the special sauce that makes these actions quicken and creation to respond with speed. Thoughts that pass without intention don’t receive as much attention initially, unless they are thought repeatedly.

One more note: Desire is not the only emotion that will trigger the quickening action in the universe. Any emotion that is powerful and felt with the full body will do. This means, all those thoughts of fear, they give special sauce to help amplify their importance also. The law of creation states it will respond and create- it does not filter good or bad. Its only job is to provide.

And here is where that little word “in” underlined above comes in. This is the small detail that passed through me the first couple months I was attempting to live by the truth provided. In is where it all starts. In is where I contain the power of the universe to create. In is the only place I will find comfort, truth, peace. As they say, “It’s an inside job”, well how annoying of them to be right.

I happen in Life when I slow myself down to see if I can feel the pluck of the electric current leading me to my goal. AND, most importantly, this is where I check to see if the choice I’m about to make will lead me away from that goal.

I happen in life in a slow, methodical way that will drive others that move at the speed of sound crazy. I can’t lean into Spirit and my truth any faster than it takes the sun to rise. IT and IN, repeat. It is the choice presented, In is my guidance system I check before moving forward.

Today my choice was: Yoga or Quite time to write. Both served me, the choice was dictated by the underlying pulse of my over reaching goal and desire.

I happen in life by being present, understanding how life is created, utilizing the gifts I was given, doing the next thing that brings me to the fullest life of desire fulfilled.

Until next week, sending Love and a little foggy day to slow you down and enjoy the moment.
