All reality is made of vibrating, intelligent energy …Bob Trask
We are surrounded by waves, light waves, sound waves, microwaves etc. We don’t see them but we know they are there because we can turn the dial on the car radio and get dozens of AM and FM stations, and on our TVs are hundreds of channels. The airways are so filled with waves that if they were to become visible we would be astounded. What if the possibilities for our creative desires were as abundant as these waves?
The good news is that those broadcast waves are nothing compared to the vibrations of possibility surrounding us. The mechanisms are already in place to realize your dream, all you need do is actualize them by seeing a vision that is in alignment with your natural gifts and then create a mission to that vision and follow it with trust. When you do you will find that the possibilities for achieving your life’s dreams are as numerous as are stars in the Universe- limitless; you will come to understand that our self-doubts are the clouds that hide those stars from us. When we are looking at the clouds, we cannot see the stars. The best way I know to penetrate clouds of doubt is with trust, and trust can only be built by taking risks and winning.
We first came into this incarnation filled with trust, and then learned to distrust. When we were children, we heard the calling of our souls, we were confident that we could follow our passions and enjoy their rewards. Nothing at all was impossible until someone told us it was and we believed them. Trust opened the circuits of Grace which then flowed through and empowered us like an electrical current. When we stopped trusting, the Grace turned off and our personal power died. In order to get our power back on we need to start putting some savings in our “trustbank.” Taking risks, winning and acknowledging our wins is the only way to rebuild trust, but it requires letting go of our old beliefs and focusing on what is real. If we get distracted from our life’s plan, our passion, then we can neither win nor build trust.
I think of myself going along a highway through desert country at night. My vision, my goal is to be in Phoenix by midnight. My mission, the plan that will get me there is this: keep my lights turned on and pointed where I want to go, and pay attention to changes, like a washed out road, slow traffic or signs along the roadside. Not a problem until I take my eyes off the prize and focus my attention elsewhere. “Oh look over there! See it? See it? Isn’t that an antelope? Hey, look at that, it’s a coyote! Watch him go! Say, is that a mountain I see over there?” Uh oh! We’re going over some severe bumps now, and this is deep sand we’re in! Well what happened to the highway?” Back on the road now, but it seems I passed the turnoff for Phoenix about fifty miles back.
So, you want to be successful singer but don’t have time to practice because you have this fantastic guy you’re dating? You want to become a doctor but it’s difficult because you’ve decided to play basketball in Spain? And now your original goal wasn’t achieved; so will you say you cannot trust the process because you tried it and it didn’t work? Simply put; our creative intention is focused by our attention. Where our attention is so is our intention. The process is guaranteed by nature, if we stay focused on our vision and keep a flexible mission we will accomplish our goal.
Here’s another saboteur to be aware of: becoming dedicated to the mission instead of the vision. Love the journey but let's don’t forget where we're going. I know this one well; I became enchanted with the process in at least two of my many careers; the goals I had intended to accomplish just never happened and I burned out trying to reach them. You need a personal coach or at the very least a wise and fearless support team, willing to tell you the truth when you are off the road. And of course, you need to trust them.

A bit of Humor For You:
The old man was walking on the beach with his only grandson, when a giant wave crashes onshore, sweeping the boy out to sea.
The man looks up to the heavens and says, "Oh Lord, this is my only grandson, how can you take him away from me like this? My son will not understand. My daughter-in-law will die from grief."
Another wave comes by, and deposits the boy at the old man's feet.
The grandfather looks to the heavens again and says, "Hey….He had a hat!"
Our Hero of The Week
One of the more amazing men you’ll ever meet, (and according to Mary, my wife, one of the handsomest) is St. Clouds Restaurant co-owner John Platt. John spent his younger years working as a high-school English teacher and principal before he at last heard the calling of his soul and went full scale into gourmet cooking.
John Platt is this week’s hero because of the following: On one morning of every week, John opens the restaurant early to allow herds of volunteers from all over Puget Sound to come in and get to work. They bring with them loads of donated fresh veggies, meat, fish, fruits, nuts; whatever they can find or afford. John takes a look at the bounty, asseses its possibilities then makes his decisions. Today, for example, he might look around and say: “This will be whitefish with roasted almonds and fresh apricot sauce, those veggies will become a wilted spinach salad with berries and sesame seeds, and our dessert today will be a fresh peach cheesecake. Whatever the ingredients, John's genius mind soon molds it into a gourmet banquet and then he puts his volunteers to work creating it.
When completed, the meals are placed into containers and taken by vans to feed 400 plus homeless folks at shelters, tent cities, homeless teen centers and wherever people are in need of nourishment for body and soul. Then the volunteer team cleans the restaurant thoroughly and gets it ready for its normal operation as one of the Northwest’s premier eating spots.
Next time you’re in Seattle stop and congratulate John at St. Clouds Restaurant for being our hero.
