Lesson 4: Some Simple Truths

Life is so amazing...and I am so blessed!

Have you ever been in a dimly lit room and someone comes in and turns on a light? Often I did not realize that the room was dark at all--I thought it was just fine. I did not think that I needed more light, or I would have turned one on myself. But then, when the light comes on, I think, "Wow, I never knew what I was missing!"

This concept of "what I never knew I didn't know" is the subject of today's lesson, and I continue to be amazed at how perfectly the lesson fits in my life and what I have been thinking about lately.

It starts off, "When we commit ourselves to excellence, and we do whatever is necessary to bring about the best in our lives, then remarkable changes take place."

This is so true! I have seen it come true just in the last couple of weeks. I saw it happen just yesterday!

When we boldly walk in the direct of our goals and desires, the Universe knows we're serious and will respond every time.

A few weeks ago I sat down and planned what I want to accomplish this year. I then planned what I needed to do to make it happen. Then I started doing the thing, and voila, life moved in sync with me! Strange and amazing things happened that I never could have predicted.

Here's a seemingly silly but powerful example.

One of my goals this month is to purchase new linens for my master bedroom. One of the steps required to do this is, of course, to go shopping. I decided that I wanted to do this on Saturday, so I wrote it down as an action item. Trouble was, I had no time on Saturday to do this. I had training in the morning, I barely had enough time to shower and get to rehearsal, then I barely had time to come home and get ready for a date with my husband, which would take the rest of the evening.

Regardless, I wrote down "shop for linens on Saturday" on my list. I didn't know how or when I was going to do it, but I was determined that I would.

On Friday, I went to rehearsal and was shocked when they announced that I didn't have to be at rehearsal until 2pm! I cried on the way home because I knew that this was evidence of the power of my desire.

But it wasn't just that. All sorts of similar things have been happening--the more I apply the action, the more the Universe corresponds.

Just yesterday I wrote in my "Ideal Me" exercise that I wanted people to comment on my beauty. Wouldn't you know that last night at rehearsal, one of my cast mates did just that? Last night. The same day I wrote it down!

I am just so grateful for my life. I am so grateful for this community, for my Beyond Freedom, for the princples that I am learning and applying in my life.

My vision is becoming so clear. I am beginning to see my potential--what I am capable of--in a way I never have before.

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

I have so much light--and I never knew it was dim before!
