Integrity

Follow through has always been a slight problem for me. I’ll say I’m going to do it. I’ll mean to do it, but somehow in the process of execution my well meaning intentions get lost. I really think what was meant by the term “the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions”, it actually means that all the things you planned on doing but never did, even with good intentions, is what leads you to your own personal hell. I understand that completely. But it’s not just about follow through, it’s also about being realistic about what you’ll do, what’s in the realm of possibilities for you, and what you actually hope for from the experience. A lot of times I know I’ll start something not to finish it but to see if I can actually get it started. It’s about if I have enough courage to put the plans forth or if I can pull together all the resources to get it started. I used to get down on myself about not finishing things, but I’ve come to find out that the reward for me is not always in the completion of a task. Another aspect of integrity for me has come from knowing when to say ‘no.’ Just as I’ve been given the ability to accept a task I also have the ability to reject a task. If I can not be my best when taking on a task and/or if no personal growth can be gained from a task I am responsible for saying ‘no.’ I understand that I lose nothing for refusing the things that do not serve me. I allow myself to enjoy this path and process more with every task that I agree to that aids my personal growth. I open myself up to the blessings that are constantly being set up for me in my path. I exclaim to the Universe “Yes, I am open, I am receptive!” This allows me to display more integrity with each action and choice. God is SO good. And I’m ready to consistently prove all that I’m learning throughout this process.

Manifestation: It’s not an easy task to do things out of integrity, when you’ve shrunk from it for so long. It’s a laborious process, but if I don’t start now, when? I’ve noticed that in as little as 24 hours the speed that the Universe works. I have had distances placed between negative situations and myself. I’ve allowed myself to be honest with all parties involved and had the usual confrontations deferred elsewhere. It’s almost as if the moment I said I’m ready the Universe had been ready! I opened up and realized how open all the opportunities have been to me. I feel a sense of calm and expectation but without the anxiousness. I’m really, really excited. God is SO good.
