Don’t Curb Your Enthusiasm

I’ve been submersed in metaphysics for years which includes the premise that we create our reality by our thoughts and beliefs. The good news is that if we don’t like the world we see ourselves in, we can simply (or perhaps not so simply) change our thoughts and change our reality.

At times I’ve had a difficult time with this concept. People would point a judgmental finger at me wondering why I would create something I didn’t want or like. and confusion would set in.“Why, indeed, would I create such a thing for myself?” But the good news is that if I created it, then I could re-create it. I had the power. I did not have to depend on someone else to change it.

I often recall a Bible verse that states the things that Christ did, we can do, and even greater things than that we can do! Near the end of the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy pleaded to go home to Kansas, Glenda the Good Witch, told her that she had the power all along. We all do! It’s a matter of remembering and calling our power back. In the readings I have done over the years, the Angels continually remind us to call back our power from wherever we’ve placed it. Actually, the cause of all disease points to our misplacing our power, or by allowing some other person, place, thing, or belief, to zap it out of us.

Where have we fallen into an unenlightened state and forgotten our power? For me, it was always easier to just blame God for everything that went wrong. My wake-up call was when I got into a 12-Step program many years ago, and learned that I was responsible for my life. So, what was the key to changing things in myself? I had to call my power back to me and redirect it toward what I truly wanted to create.

The key to success is the excitement you create around it. I’ve been in the sales profession for years, selling everything from paint and wallpaper to furniture and other interior design products. I’ve been in many sales training programs to learn how to sell and how to increase sales. In each of them, the presenter would state that to be successful in sales, you have to create a heartfelt excitement about what you are selling. It’s the excitement that sells!

In recent months I’ve been focused on building my feng shui consultation business. In talks I give, I tell before-and-after stories that inspire the audience to want a similar experience for themselves. Why? Excitement is contagious!

I took the idea to task and its become my new guiding light. I revamped my Internet presence and am redesigning my website. I decided to post my clients’ experiences on Facebook – something I had not done before with any enthusiasm. To my amazement, I got more ‘likes’ and comments resulting in people clamoring for an appointment with me.

The second key I discovered in a conversation with my Angels is that I had been somewhat afraid of success. I was in a comfort zone that I was afraid to step out of, even though success in my business was on the other side of that fear. I just needed to face the fear and step to the other side of it.

My conversation with the angels continues and I have a clearer, more compelling message of fully knowing that I can accomplish what I want to in my life. I just need to maintain my enthusiasm.

Try it for yourself. Prayerfully contemplate your grandest dream. Sell it to yourself with excitement, act on it with enthusiasm, and see what happens!
