Make It Happen

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."-- Goethe

I think this passage connect beautifully to the last entry--that's why I made sure to put it in here the same day so we could all make the connections.

The "hidden stuff" Emerson speaks of is the creative pulse that Goethe is speaking of that helps to move boldness into deeper expressions of substance and action. There is this movement towards creation and in order to be co-creators then we have to enter into the stream so to speak. The river is always flowing and we can either look at it--which is pretty and meaningful in it's own way. At the same time we can also make a choice which Goethe is hinting at, which is to actually get in the river and swim-follow the current and take action. There is also the possibility of deeper expressions of action--rather than swim we can get into a boat and use some oars to be more conscious co-creators.

So if you are feeling stuck, or waiting for something to happen to you, why not jump into the waters and start flowing into the creative juices and as you are deeply filled by them allow providence to sweep in and carry you fully into more powerful expressions of your ideas.

ABRACADABRA means create as you speak. So literally as we think, as we speak, we begin to create and so as we create--let's put some action into it. See where things take you--and begin to trust that if there is power in those ideas and creative flow in their expression, then your boldness will ignite a path of genius, power, and magic adding to the shakti of the world.

May you have a magic filled day!
