When we take on something new, something that we want to create for ourselves and our life, something will always happen that will appear as if it is there to stop us, so we think. While we could create a story that either people, places or things are conspiring against, holding us back in some way from our succeeding, trying to control us even, we need to assume total responsibility for what we are experiencing as opposed to blaming. To blame or to put ourselves down for what we perceive of as a failure at worst or as little success at best, only serves to keep us in that space. In essence we stay stuck in self blame or pity, generating more of what we really do not want to be happening.
What I must do is stay committed to my project even in the face of no or little reward or pay off. Staying focused on the creation itself will serve me to stay in the game of creating what I want. When things show up that I do not want to have happening or happen not at the pace that I would prefer, I must stay open to learning why it is showing up that way. There is always something to learn in these types of experience. When things happen that are not in alignment with my created expectations, I have to stay committed to the work, not the outcome. Being grateful for all that shows up is more powerful for me as opposed to blaming or complaining. Staying grateful for the small steps allows me to continue to generate more of what I want, more of what the small steps truly represent.
Whatever I focus on will continue to happen. If I focus primary on the negative, then the negative will continue to show up in my life. If I stay focused on what is not happening then only the not happening will continue to be created. I have to stay in my commitment to my creation, that which I am striving for in life. Staying hungry for my new vocation only serves to continue to generate the outcome that I truly say I want, even if it is only happening in small steps. The small steps add up to real breakthroughs in our life, to a true transformation in our attempts to bring into existence the mission of our creation.
