Life Lesson # 2 The Time Is Now

The more you can dream the more you can do.

-Micheal Korda

Have you ever experienced a time where out of nowhere something came over you and a thought or idea popped into your head and told you to do something? It might have been as simple as call a friend or family member. It might have been to buy a particular book or maybe something much bigger. It doesn’t matter if it was something large or small the important thing is that you recognize the feeling, the voice. It’s like something was giving you a bit of a push…that’s your intuition and when you make a move based on that it’s called inspired action.

Now sometimes our intuition seems to make no sense at all and that’s ok as long as it feels right, good. You don’t have to know why at that very moment, you only need to aware of how you feel about it. If it feels right (even if you don’t understand why) do it.

So what do you do if you don’t experience any inside push? In this case the best thing you can do is find a way to relax, get as quiet as possible. Go to a place that makes you feel good, a place where you can put your troubles aside and focus on the moment, on being still (for me it’s the beach or my special spot by the river). It may take some practice but be patient your intuition will lead you in the right direction. If you can tune into your intuition and take the inspired actions they will lead you in the direction of your dreams.

It’s important that you pay close attention to the feelings you have surrounding any nudge. Does it feel good or does something not feel quite right? Maybe it feels right but your still a little scared, in this case your timing could be a little off or the fear might be a little misplaced. The fear could be attached to other things going on in your life and not to the actual action your gut is telling you should take, so I’ll repeat again that it is very important for you to clear your mind and become as still and quiet as possible. You need to be able to let go and as it says in Essential Ingredient #3, Life Lesson #4 Let Go To Let It Flow.

Exercise 1

Imagine you have completed all the tasks in your life that have a deadline attached to them. Your tax preparation has been completed. Projects for the kids, work, and house all have a checkmark next to them. Done! You’ve already got your body and your finances in shape.

What would you spend your time doing? What would feel like a luxury? What have you been saying you will do someday when you have time? You may find you have many inspired ideas and desires. Make a list of them in your Prosperity Journal. Which one is calling you forth.

What if you took one action this week regarding this inspiration? What if you gave it fifteen minutes of your time? Do it. Just for the sheer joy of taking inspired action. See how it feels. Remember, maybe the inspired action is to read a fiction novel. Inspired action is not to be equated to productivity. It’s supposed to feel good simply because you enjoy the action. Yes the outcome might give you a feeling of accomplishment. But the purpose is truly joy.
