I was looking at the little lemon tree out on the veranda. I is about seven feet tall with one enormous lemon on a single branch. I looked at it perhaps fifteen times before I realized it was so large that it may have passed its prime and that it should be picked. I finally went over to it and put my hand around it and it released almost effortlessly from its branch. I thought perhaps it is trying to tell me something. I interpreted it as meaning "you can not receive a lemon until you accept a lemon."
When you innocently reach out for life it meets you effortlessly providing what is needed when it is needed. Living in a deliberately created space where you exist in reality of consequences based on conscious choices in every moment gone before you quickly move away from effect of the world into creating quite literally your world. The headlines change, the reality shifts and the probable future on which you find yourself has diverged from the time-line that might have been. When you are aware of this you can set up your future by planting seeds "of momentum" in accordance with deliberate plans and ideas based beyond your reach or your grasp but rather on the gift of choice in a life lived on the edge of human potential. The only creativity required to do this is the understanding that the the future is a choice that starts in what you do right now. Grasp this and you fear nothing. You can't fear it because you own it. The world shifts from IT owning YOU to you owning it.
Your mistakes can be mourned or celebrated in a dance that honors the truths of your choice. How we experience the moment is the key. Each day is a planting bed of possibility where you the seeds of thought and action set into motion the probable future you picked. The challenge is to accurately assess hindsight in the now as you consider what you want and what you are willing to commit to as the story grows and life unfolds. How close are you to what is best for you with all your subtle realities and truths in the present? Accurately assessing hindsight is a fine art. As you think of the consequences of a choice you roll out the probabilities in your mind and if you are good at it you catch the glitches and unwanted realities so you can adjust your plan from conception effectively countermanding troubles and taxes found in poor planning and apathy where you find the world running you instead of vice versa. It feels unnatural at first but this is a small pice to pay for the magic that is in your plan. So too there is the real work as a consequence of your plan but the committed service and energy you expend on it sets into motion undreamed of realities you might never have experienced without it.
If you do it right 80% of the work is in the moment - the thought - the plan, and 20% of the work is in the maintenance of the plan if you create it to work with your desires and dreams. The future should unfold before you with few troubles. The situation reflects your current thought and attitude. Your current thought and attitude also generates the immediate and distant future realities. Negativity begets negativity, positivity begets positivity. The whole of each day is a reflection is the person you decide to become RIGHT NOW. As the moments compile your future be sure to program them for a good one.
"Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go." Author unknown. Hence boldness moves providence and the experience of life shifts from being a victim to being the creator right in the middle of the most mundane task you know you can shift into another reality - your reality in which you are so much more powerful than you ever imagined and you break the chains of ignorance that has kept you small as you awaken to your true human potential as the enlightened being you are.
