| Subject: LEVERAGING THE UNIVERSE, THE MAGIC IT PROVIDES Wed Aug 27, 2008 1:24 pm | |
| FROM MIKE DOOLEY, founder of "TUT's Adventurer's Club" https://www.tut.com/benchmarks/?action=luemWhen it comes to living the life of one's dreams, there are those who think they must go it alone; that they must be the early bird, know all the right people, and succeed by the sweat of their brow - and they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders.Then there are those who have read all the books, done all the workshops, and concluded that it's simply a matter of surrendering to a loving, conspiring Universe so that their life might be transformed by its magic - and they silently wonder why it hasn't. The truth is, neither are we alone, nor is knowing about the Universe and its magic enough to manifest change. The first conclusion is as self-sabotaging as it is sad, and the second is a bit like knowing exactly where the secret treasure is buried, yet never bothering to dig for it. Instead, the trick lies in knowing the difference between what one can, should and must do, versus what one can, should and must delegate to an all wise and capable Universe. Our part is the easy part. We need only provide the spark to light the Universe's fire; to hoist up our sails so that they can be filled with its magical winds. Yet without offering these token efforts, without assisting in these modest ways, not only do we contradict our wish to live as fully as possible, but we slide ever further away from an infinite grace that tirelessly strives to sweep us off our feet, surround us with friends, and create the life we most want. Leveraging the Universe and Engaging the Magic is about using the gifts of thought, word and deed to harness this grace. It's about doing the least to get the most. Learning what "the truth" is, and then living it, so that the kingdom, the power, and the glory can be revealed before your very eyes, as you discover your holy place in creation - as a creator, yourself. Slayer of dragons, matador of time and space, rightful heir to heaven on earth, it's time to be living the life of your dreams. Your great admirer, | |
