Recovering A Sense of Possibility at this time of year is important. We usually find ourselves getting on the New Year Resolution bandwagon without really believing that a new year will see any change. We may have hope, even faith, but believing with a profound sense of possibility may fade as January turns into February and March. Before we know it December 31st rolls around like a slap in the face reminding us of what we haven’t achieved.

LESSON THREE: TAKE ONE STEP

Any progress is made by leaps of faith, some small and some large. At first, we may want faith to take the first dance class, the first step toward a new medium. Later, we may want the faith and funds for further classes, seminars, a larger work space, a year’s sabbatical…As each idea comes to us, we must in good faith clear away our inner barriers to acting on it and then, on an outer level, take the concrete steps to trigger our synchronous good.

Cameron says:

Ask yourself bluntly:

What next step are you evading?

What dream are you discounting as impossible given your resources?

What payoff are you getting for remaining stuck at this point of your expansion? 

God is my source is a simple but completely effective plan for living. 

Part of the Artist’s Way program is writing morning pages where you write uninterrupted and without thinking for about twenty minutes. It’s amazing what comes out of these random scribblings. Cameron recommends we ask for answers in the evening; listen for answers in the morning. Be open to all help.

Be open to recovering your sense of possibility.
