The Problem with Now


The only problem we ever have with now is that it is not about us as we are defined.
We are defined by our fears and our maddening resistance to change.
That is the problem with now.

The problem with now is that it requires thoughts outside of ourselves.
Imagine it is not about you.
What would now look like when we acknowledge that it is not about us?

The problem with now for many of us is that we do not see NOW we see past.
NOW is when we need to ask ourselves, "What does the past have to do with today?"

The problem with now is that it requires that we look at ourselves for cause and not blame or depend solely on others that we feel are different than us, obligated to us, or most comfortable to us.

We drive through life most times viewing the things and people around us as the cause of what is wrong with now.

We put them as a problem in the view scope and as the object in front of us.
We grab blame energy instead of motivation and inspiration from things.

We trip over them, perhaps slow down and attribute our crawl and/or freeze to them or even run into them instead.

Now, we view these people and things as a hindrance to our progress as much as they are the reasons why we should do things.

Now requires that we look solely at ourselves and realize that the drag of our soul's engines is due to the fact that we are moving along with our emergency brakes on.

Emergency brakes exist to help keep things safe and often from moving forward.
They are only to be applied when the decision is made to stay still.

Our slow progress in the now is not about how strong or fast another person's engine revs or moves them along.

Now is about checking the parts of our personal makeup and making sure they are high performance, maintained and fully functioning.

Hopefully we can manage through with full grace knowing the power we hold now.

LETTING GO....

  L-E-T-T-I-N-G    G-O You have seen these words before..yes? Very simply written in nine letters. “L e tting  go .” Why does it make you uncomfortable?  It is simply an action that you as a human being experience every single day, just by physically and chemically existing.  It is an action that occurs when you have complete trust in your intuition ; that heaven sent voice inside of you. You know the one you may not always agree with, but the angels are so fond of you ..they send it into your ears, head, heart , and sometimes your eyes? If you are reading this your eyes open and they shut very quickly ..it is called "blinking" but in fact it is letting go and it happens very quickly. As we blink old light goes away and we allow new light to come in …seeing the next moment. As you turned on your computer or device you may have pressed a button, touched the screen, flipped a switch. As you clicked on your mouse, stroked and released keys on the k...

The Things I will do Before You Are Gone....

Fully aware of how precious life is and remembering the tender, exciting and amazing muses that I have been blessed and no doubt favored to know.. I wrote this list. Enjoy it. Create a life you love. The Things I will do Before You Are Gone.© By Adrienne Wallace (June 2008) 1) I will tell you, "I love you more than anything ...except GOD." 2) I will squeal with delight when you have achieved something new or gotten more of what makes you happy. I will stay as you pursue your delight and be a part of you capturing it. 3) I will steal your pillowcase when you are out of the room and replace it with a fresh one. I will put the one I steal on my pillow so I can smell your essence when I nap or sleep. 4) I will hold your hand even if you were 'just my manicurist' and look into your eyes and say "Thank You"... Maybe you're touching hands all day, but I want you to remember that mine appreciates yours. They are so warm 5) I will wish you t...

Where Did It Go? The question that comes when ownership is lost.

" Where Did It Go? " This is a common question asked about time, goodness, old regimes, and old relationships, memory and other than that... money and misplaced keys. Where did it go? We hear this amongst those of us who have not set a strategy and intention for what we have. This also the question that comes particularly from those of us who become all too confident in what we have but do not own. Ownership of one's talent,work, innovation, relationships and contribution is either an old or new concept in many places. What is encouraging is the ability to list our criteria for ownership and then be honest about what we truly own. Here are a few that I was thinking of today: Ownership of material things - You paid for it , don't owe anything for it to anyone Ownership of relationships - You tell the truth, engage with grace, and express mutual respect without excuses or references to what does not apply to the person you are relating to Ownership of innovation -...
