    Emotional Investing

    October 18, 2020 /

     

     

    Have you ‘spent foolishly’ or ‘invested’ unwisely?   Have you paid too much for something only to find out later that you shelled out more than you had to?   What about with your valuable time, attention, caring and giving attitude in relationships.
    I know at times I have, especially in certain relationships.  And the good news, I am learning. Sometimes slowly, sometimes swiftly.   My strong emotional quotient and strength as a natural empath can be pushed out of balance if I am not careful.   As a natural encourager, and positive empath, I do seem to get tested a little more than I would like in this arena.
    For me, how much I invest can depend on how deeply my heart is engaged. So those wise spirit-inspired words ‘above all guard your heart‘ when allowed to run out in front of the investment can save much heartache.
    Setting up checkpoints in relationships to see if you’re getting back on a fairly even level with what you’re putting in can keep your energy high and intentions intact.  It’s when you feel drained or prevailed upon one too many times with the same person, you have to take a step back and reassess.  Kind of like the cha-cha.  It may feel like two steps forward and one step back, but in the long run it may preserve your integrity and harmony.
    Today, assess one relationship where you have found yourself sinking too much — of your time, your feelings, valuable energy or perhaps even money.
    Trust you have what it takes to stop, look and listen. For years I used the red light, green light, yellow light as a quick marker to help me assess where not only the relationship is going, but where I AM going.
    Emotions can be rudders for success or destruction. Use them, pay attention, but trust that inner voice of wisdom and wellspring of God’s love for you to guide, guard and protect.

    Ask yourself the tough questions. Journal out the answers and insights.

    Today’s a great day for just such an assessment.

    If you’re going for something, really GOING for something, you have to be willing to reach high and dig deep.

    Reaching High

    Like a fine vase.  On that oh-so high top shelf.

    You’re going to need a well-balanced stepping stool to reach that top shelf, where it’s been carefully placed for safekeeping.

    And when you grab the stepping stool, slap it down in a close-enough place thinking you can make a quick climb, you find out all too soon your poor judgment as you and the stool topple over.  Thankfully you didn’t take the vase with you.

    Second go around.  You carefully position the stepping stool for your best advantage to safely reach the top shelf, steady yourself and carefully bring the vase securely to the countertop.

    It’s like that in anything new, different and extraordinary that you want.  Sometimes that vase (your dream or desire)  has to be carefully reached for. Step by guided, well-placed step.

    Digging Deep

    Whatever’s hidden deep within sitting right next to that dream will be the obstacle or obstacles you’ll have to overcome to set that dream fully free.

    Some say you’re foolish, it’s out of your reach, it’s too high, too late.   Just settle for something ordinary. You may be fighting with yourself about that deep desire of your heart.

    But then the dream begins to ache and quiver in your soul again.  And you know it has a life all its own and will come to pass, if you nurture and care for it.

    Whatever word you find to shout down the inner or outer naysaying, find it.  One I heard years ago was from one of Nathaniel Branden’s teaching tapes is ‘balderdash’.  Love that word.

    So, balderdash.  In other words, ‘nonsense’. 

    Start affirming –  I will receive what has been placed inside me to dream, nurture and hold close until its fruition.

    That carefully hidden dream is your key to new life.

    Originality — Nothing Competes

    Originality. Nothing quite competes with originality.

    As I coach, consult and mentor the same tapestry-thread questions arise as those I coach weave their unique design path. Should I look like everyone else in my sphere of influence, OR do I want to stand out as an original.

    If the answer is I need and want to be an original, then you’ll need to be patient with the process, yourself and what I call the ‘becoming.’ When your eye is on the right target, the REAL target of authenticity, you have to wash off the old dust of seasons past. It’s okay to get your foot in the door with some similarity, but once in you have to stand on your own two feet and own that ORIGINAL space.

    Dare to be different, unique, authentic.

    It takes guts to stand up for the real you.

    Need help along your way?

    That’s where I come in. You’ll need a wayshower, a confidant and an expressive voice of insight. Uncommon expertise, creative insights and bullseye breakthrough clarity.

    Not more technical how to’s, but REAL INSIGHT. CLARITY. Bullseye breakthrough INSIGHTS.
