Yesterday, I wrote a blog all about getting messages from theUniverse…and how I finally learned to listen to a lot of them. And, just as I thought
I had it all figured out; that I was getting my cosmic guidance on a daily
basis, the Universe threw me a couple of curve balls. I logged on to my Facebook
today and had nothing. The newsfeed was blank. And, maybe, just maybe that is
the most important message of all.
Perhaps the “nothing” is guidance in itself; a reminder to
me that life is a blank slate, and it’s up to me to write the next chapter, all
by myself. And you know what? That is the best message the Universe has ever
sent me.
Tonight I posted a status update that might confuse some of
you. It read simply:
To Do List:
1. Learn to fly
2. Fly away
However, there was a reason behind this…a good one. You see,
as I was talking to a friend of mine on the way home from work, she said
something that resonated quite deeply with me. She said, “Shauna, you are meant
to fly. So…fly.” So…I am. It’s time.
So, when I got home, I began going through a lot of my old
possessions, looking over some things I had left unfinished and undone. Then, I
decided which of these things to let go, and which to pursue. And in making
those choices, in letting go of the old, worn out things that served me no good
any longer, I couldn’t stop smiling.
And, in letting go of those old, worn out
things, my choices narrowed and my passions became clear.
My 10 things list today is easy, easier than it has been in
a long time. Which, I suppose is ironic also, because it’s Friday the 13th. Then again, Friday the 13th
has usually always been strangely lucky for me. Go figure.
So maybe that is my lesson today. Perhaps that’s the biggest
part of my journey. Because what I kept, what I am choosing to move forward
with forces me to grow, wrenches me out of my comfort zone and are things that
I have to work really, really hard for. And I am okay with that.
Because if you continue thinking the same way you always thought, if you continue to believe how you have always believed, if you
continue doing the same thing day after day, if you hold on to things and even
to people that don’t cherish you, who merely take up space in your life, you’ll
never learn to fly, and you will certainly never soar. Not really.
So breathe deep, and know that today is the day to plant seeds for tomorrow, but more than that remember that where you are at today is a direct reflection of the seeds you planted yesterday. So if you aren't happy with your life, it's because of the seeds you planted yesterday. But you have a blank slate starting right now.
And, in case you were wondering, yes...I do still believe in magic. Do you?
