ONCE ONE COMMITS...

This seems to us to be one of the truths of being human and its implications are profound indeed.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth…that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way."
From " The Scottish Himalayan Expedition" by WH Murray.

Other popular ways of saying this are 'follow your passion', 'act as if magic exists and it does' and the 'law of attraction'. If these are true then it puts us squarely in control of the events that arise in our lives. If we live our lives without passion or commitment then we suffer events we say we dont want but create by default, whereas if we are wholehearted about our chosen course of action and really are committed to it at a soul level then we attract everything necessary to bring our dreams into reality.

Most of us walk with old voices that tell us this is too scary a step to take and that we should remain safe in our known way of being, after all it isnt that bad is it, we've gotten used to it like this, and it could be worse! A line from a Melissa Etheridge song says "Keeping me safe in these chains, precious pain." And Marianne Williamson wrote "We serve no-one by playing small." Its our choice, but if it feels scary to open up to the possibility of creating bliss in our lives, we're not alone. Our soul nature or higher power is just waiting to help guide us, all we have to do is quieten our chattering mind, say hello to ourself and ask for assistance. The rest will follow...
