Getting Unstuck isn’t so easy to do . . .

Getting Unstuck is the title of my newest book.  It’s a companion to Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow.  I loved writing both books.  Actually, I’d have to say that all twenty-six books that have “called to me,” I have loved writing. There is no doubt that I am living my bliss.  But Getting Unstuck, in particular, deals with the issues that continue to snag me so easily in any ordinary day.  I’m certain that’s why it became a necessary book for me to tackle.  I am continuing to learn and need the “instruction” I get from writing what I hear my inner voice say.

The topics covered in Getting Unstuck run the gamut from “minding my own business,” to celebrating you and your journey while doing no harm; in fact, while listening intently to God as I understand Him, in the process.  We intentionally travel, side by side, as teachers, as way-showers, but not as determiners of one another’s choices.  And that’s often pretty difficult to accept.  My choices for you seem so sensible, after all.

Learning to let go: detaching from all that is assigned to your hula hoop, in other words;  then choosing our own reactions thoughtfully, a choice which can be helped by quieting the mind so we can hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, or the God of our Understanding; are the substantive items on the agenda each one of us has been given for this life we were born to experience.

When I remember that the events in my life are not happening willy-nilly, but are unfolding just as they were orchestrated to unfold, I feel such relief.  And this goes for all of the events, even those that were extremely painful.  I am not in charge.  I am not in charge of you or of my own path either.

What a blessing knowing this is.  And yet, how often, in the blink of an eye, I forget and try to manage your affairs, make your choices, control your outcomes.  If you allowed me to do that, and sometimes we do let others take charge, the result is generally eventual resentment.  Maybe not immediately but it will surface in time.  Mark my words.  I have been there too many times.

What I share with you here and in all of the books I have written, and all the workshops I have led or will ever lead, has been based on my own experience.  Always.  I think sharing who we are, and who we are struggling to become, in full view of others, is the greatest of all gifts.  It’s my hope every day of my life that I am making a difference, some where, some time.  And listening to God, intently, will guarantee I am not too far off of the mark.  Are you listening to God?   He’s standing right beside you.  Now.  And always.
