Now comes a time of reassessing what has gone before and creating a new framework based on what was good of the past accomplishments. Nothing stays still and always one must move on.
To hold on to the past hurts and failures is to hold back the new opportunities, which are always there before you and should be seized with enthusiasm to make a better fist of it than was achieved before.
Look back on the past as a training ground of experience and knowledge and then this is available to you with each and every new enterprise that you take on, so that you are better equipped to succeed as never before.
By addressing life as a constantly changing myriad of chances to better oneself one is able to develop a sense of advancement along every step of the way if one grasps the nettle of progress and achievement.
Nothing goes backwards in this life as all is forward looking. What progress is made depends on how you put each foot forward every day and how you point yourself at the aims of reaching the target.
By pulling back on the drawstring to get energy for the flight, so with the right direction your arrow wings its way towards the target. How carefully you have prepared yourself and your equipment or knowledge will depend on where the target is hit or with lacklustre could miss it all together.
Too many souls are advancing themselves in a cloud of disappointment and blaming themselves or others for where they are now. The good news is that no one is left out in the cold light of dawning without opportunities to take up the mantle and improve their lot in life.
It may take some effort to make that first step. Remember the energy required by the bowstring to propel the arrow? That is your first step towards achievement and as the arrow is guided by your actions, so the Spirit World of past masters also work to guide you to success.
If you listen to your common sense or conscience you will know what is the right thing to do and the proof, as they say, will be in the eating. It is a good analogy, because it is in the preparation of the food that creates the gastronomic masterpiece.
Nobody can just stand by and expect it all to happen for them without lifting a finger. There is no easy fix and the attempts by some to achieve a ‘high’ through alcohol or drugs, is a recipe for disaster.
One little dabble cannot hurt, but like the dripping of water on the rock of your behavioural soul, it wares away the stamina of resistance and substitutes a requirement that has to be fulfilled as the cost to your balance increases.
There are no short cuts to knowledge gained by experience and if you think that you can walk on water and get away with it remember Peter, who thought he could follow my example and when he realised what he was doing sank into the waves.
Is there someone who loves you standing by that you trust enough to pull you up from pending disaster? Remember that you must make the first move and that no one can walk the path of another.
There is always help and strength there for you, but you must take personal responsibility and be your own rock, so that however far you fall, by not stretching out that hand for true help and guidance, in the end it is your will that makes you succeed and makes the platform for that spiritual help to come.
Go forward now and take the decisions that you have been dreading and then feel the warmth and strength given as you leave behind the festering sores of the past and are cleansed by these actions to walk in the freedom of our Father’s love.
I pray for you that you will obtain the courage to make the first step on a newer and more dependable path, because you do really know it makes sense. Amen.
