ฮฑ when i take the Third Step, i decide to allow a loving Higher Power ฯ‰

Posted: Tue, Nov 27, 2007 07:46:06 AM

to guide me and care for me in my daily life. once i have made the Third Step decision, from that point in, it is just a matter of paying attention to where i am led.
so here i sit, listening to beautiful wait music, contemplating the nature of where i am being led today. well actually, i am doing my best to be patient and calm down, before i actually talk to the person who may resolve my problem. the question i am asking myself is how can i be spiritual when i finally begin to speak with the person on the other end of the line, twenty or thirty minutes after i made my call. well for one, i can remember that that person is best suited to resolve my problem and it will get resolved through this means.
so back to what the reading spoke to me about this morning. well a whole lot has been going on inside me this morning, stuff about a sponsee, stuff about my career, stuff about service and stuff about what i need to get done this morning. waiting on hold is actually giving me the chance to stop and breathe and write this little missive to the cyberworld. so am i listening this morning for the direction in my life that i have accepted after making the decision to follow that guidance? i do think so, i have let this particular issue languish for several weeks, hoping that the company would and could resolve this without this call. however before my client calls for an update, and he will, it is time to take action.
i am also a bit anxious toady and not at all sure why. i know this happens, and perhaps the root of that unease will be revealed, or perhaps it will just pass. i do know that if allow myself to feel what i need to feel, i will be able to get this resolved through the loving care of that POWER to whom i entrust my survival to on a daily basis. perhaps that is all that needed to be said this morning to move on.
anyhow at least they have changed the wait music from the last time i waited for resolution, and i am not angry, calm and collected ids what i need this morning, so i will let go, breathe and let the day unfold as it will. after all, i am willing to live in a moment of FAITH and COURAGE right now.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 1

3) If this transformation became to me an object of desire, I would
express the desire by the nameless simplicity.

Simplicity without a name
Is free from all external aim.
With no desire, at rest and still,
All things go right as of their will.
