Tired of living like a kite...

When asking the universe to help us with our wishes, we usually ask too much. I know I do. Sometimes we even demand. I think I am learning to ask enough for the moment - not for the whole year, utterly veiled in mystery; not even for the week, the month ahead; but just for today. I ask for a sufficiency of strength, courage, hope and light. Enough courage for the step ahead - not for the further miles. Enough strength for the immediate task or ordeal. Enough material gain to enable me to meet my daily obligations. Enough light to see the path - right before my feet.

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open, even when you fail. And as it turns out, it was this very rock bottom that is becoming the most firm foundation he had ever planted his feet on. A foundation so solid, it finally provides the springboard he needs to outrun that teasing, taunting shadow of unworthiness that had followed him his entire life.
