Have you ever been at a cross roads in your life and did not know which way to turn? Have you ever had a decision to make, but just couldn’t seem to decide? Have you ever said “PLEASE GIVE ME A SIGN!”
I know that I have, In fact many many times. But it’s a funny thing. Each time that I receive the sign that I have asked for, it surprises me, and I find myself saying, “WOW! I can’t believe it! That actually worked!” Even though, of course, I know that this exercise works. I’ve used it and seen the results over and over again. Will I ever get used to it? Who knows. In a way, I hope that I don’t.
In fact, just recently I was thinking about my art. I was wondering where I should go next. I had completed all of the short term goals that I had recently set for myself. So now what? What would be the next step in this journey? I could not even begin to think of where to start. My mind was blank. So I set up a sign. Or rather, I simply said, “Wherever I am meant to go next will present itself when the time is right and then I will know.” Now I don’t usually just sit back waiting for the universe to bring all opportunities and experience to my door. I believe that we need to take responsibility for our own lives and every decision that we make. I believe that we need to use our creative imagination to the best of our ability by accessing all of the tools we have gathered in our lives, and decide what we are going to do next. But at the same time I feel that it is important not to cling to the details of these ideas too stubbornly as there are so many factors that we are not consciously aware of. As the saying goes, “Watch what you wish for because you might just get it!” Thankfully, I also believe that there is a higher energy (or consciousness) with a 360 degree view that can help us to make responsible choices. Well this time I was just so unsure, I couldn’t even seem to choose a sign or a time frame that I would like to see, so I decided instead to leave it all to the hands of fate (or this higher consciousness). Well lo and behold, that same day that I set up the “open sign” I received two emails about upcoming shows, asking if I would be interested in joining. TAH DAH!!! The answer to my sign had arrived, and very quickly, I might add.
This is just another trick that I’ve found that helps me to enter into the flow of inspiration. I have found that it can be used in so many different situations, and in so many different ways. It is limited only by our own imagination. You see, in my heart I truly believe that we all have access to signs or guidance, whatever you want to call it, at all times but usually we just aren’t paying attention. We just don’t notice the help that is available to us. But when we set up our own signs, sure enough, then we pay attention. We are alert, watching, listening and waiting for that inner guidance to present itself. Sometimes it happens quickly, and other times it takes a while. In my own experience I have found that when it does show up, it usually presents itself in a subtle way, and the only time that I can see this is when I am paying attention.
