I'm still here...

One might be tempted to suspect that the experience of being gazumped has laid me so low that any creativity I might have possessed has been expunged forever.

Not so! I have been writing elsewhere, but not here. Now let me share some of the things I have learnt in between:
- before reality, comes the dream
- if you can believe it, you can conceive it
- when you are clear, what you want will show up in your life
- 'our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt' (William Shakespeare)
- 'there are only 2 days a year on which nothing can be done: yesterday and tomorrow' (att. The Dalai Lama)
- big changes really do come from small beginnings

Ok, these are all 'borrowed' from someone else.

But,these are mine:
- life is a journey and the only place we ever truly arrive is the end of it
- when you are heading in a new direction, the hardest step is always the first
- life was meant to be easy - if you are following a path which is going uphill over rocky terrain and it is getting ever steeper and you are going barefoot, then it is very likely you have chosen the wrong path. Look for an exit very soon, or back up to find one.
- if you can't find a way out, look for a way in
- intention is a powerful part of any work

In these past few weeks, I have been remembering the importance of seeking guidance from whatever energy you believe is available to you. We all have different names for it - mine is "The Esteemed Indian Clerks".

The guidance I am seeking is to find:
- the right path to financial independence
- the right path to creating a home
- the right path to a healthier body
- the path to happiness.

These are the things that are important to me here and now. As I take the first step today I am going to trust that I will know where to put my foot for the next step, and the one after, and the one after that... And along the path I am going to be listening for cues of when it is time to take the steps slowly, and when to take them quickly, and when to simply rest and let the "Indian Clerks" do their thing.

Pushing and shoving and battling my way through life is in the past - so it no longer exists.

My life is flowing perfectly along the right path.

It is effortless.
