The Power of I Can

Faith the size of a mustard seed can spring forth a wonderful, strong plant. If you are convinced that you can, if you know without doubt that you deserve it, there truly isn’t anything you can’t do.  (As long as your faith holds out.)

It’s true that small seeds can grow fast. But if there’s even a small crack, the seed may not grow at all. The true Power of I Can comes when it’s whole and complete, with no gaps, no slippage.

Perhaps it goes beyond faith.  I sometimes see faith as the hand that you can hold to help you believe.  Is faith a knowing?  Or is knowing what happens when faith expands and takes hold of your heart?  Whatever you call it –  when you have that full heart of belief, when you don’t even have to say you have faith, when it’s so deeply implanted in you, you can move mountains!

If your intention is laser focused and you believe so deeply that you just know you can, it’s like having a very powerful vehicle.  Put some passion in the gas tank and you are on your way!

I saw a movie called “Iron Sky.”  I think it was crowd funded and that’s cool.  The best way to describe it is a futuristic black comedy, featuring Nazis on the moon, eager to take over the Earth, and a somewhat questionable woman president and her bitchy assistant. The plot never seemed to be able to decide if it was Science Fiction or a commentary on political beliefs.  A comedy, a somewhat twisted romance or an action film?  If one person had a clear intention, a sharp vision of what it was going to be, I think it would’ve worked a lot better.  But the focus was diluted somewhere along the line and it turned out (to me, anyway) a mess.

This I Can power is one of those Spells of Doing I like to talk about.  It could be one of the most important ones.  It comes through your wand of Choosing (with your intention).  When the magic you are conjuring is that of I Can, you have some powerful stuff happening.

All in Good Time

I tend to get obsessed with getting everything done.  I do set high standards – well, let’s say long lists.  But I’ve found I get far more done when I allow life to lead.

The way to do that –  to allow that to happen without any guilt or remorse – is to remember it will all get done.  All in good time.

“Good Time” means it may fall into another time slot, but it will be rescheduled, soon. With that in place, it’s easier to  remain calm, knowing and trusting that you will do it, eventually, in good time. A good boss would understand that, too.  Whether that distraction was work-related or personal.

Knowing is the key.  We know that if it has to get done, it will.  If the intention has been set to do it, we will.

I’m going to practice allowing life to lead today.  And rest into knowing that whatever doesn’t get done, I will reschedule for another day.  As Paulette Terrels says, “May we do our very best today, and know that it is enough.”  All in Good Time.

Belief and Trust

I am grateful for this powerful combination for doing everything with fun and ease.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could see everything as enjoyable?  Perhaps the only thing that keeps us all from living that way is Belief and Trust.

It’s fun to believe!  To make believe, believe in magic, in fairy tales, that all will be well, in God . . .  When life is treated in this light-hearted spirit, we can set our hearts to believe that all is well, that we can handle whatever comes up.  How delightful to step into belief!

Trust is the easy part.  Resting into trusting that all is well. Just relaxing and letting go of any disbelief, unclenching. I think it is a more natural state for us. So we can just sit back and allow ourselves to trust.

This is not a lolly-gagging bit of easy going.  Like in Tai Chi, the easier, lighter hand is the stronger hand. In that state the body is far more aware and prepared to strike.

These are really practice mechanisms.  When you’ve played with these two for a while, you will find yourself transforming into Knowing.  Add some gratitude along the way and you can arrive quickly at that place where you no longer need to trust. It always has been, always will be.  In that comfortable space, you know you can handle whatever happens.

I’m using this method to help me hold a stronger vision of people.  See them as whole, well, and abundant, rather than needy.  Believing that they will be fine. Trusting their lives will be whole again.
