Are you Willing?
A while back I was given a very small deck of cards. Each card is imprinted with one single word to awaken intuition, understanding, creativity and caring. At the beginning of every month, I draw one card and work with the imprinted word. It never ceases to amaze me how right on the word is every month.
This months word “Willingness”. Seems like a fitting word to start the new year off right…..righttttt!!!
Willingness is the act of being prepared to do something. Do
some-thing.
We are most willing to do the things we enjoy. What about the things we're not willing to do?
- Decisions that need to be made
- Forgiving someone
- Letting go of old beliefs & behaviors
- Concerns with jobs & relationships
- Telling someone something they needed to know
- Admitting something that you're not proud of
- Crucial conversations
What happens to those
some-things
? Those
some-things get lodged in the fabric of your life and become bigger
some-things
.
Blame will be the action when you don’t take responsibility for your choices and actions.
Willingness is derived from will and it is the power of your mind to choose and decide. There's Human Will, Free Will, a clash of wills and the most important Divine Will. Human Will operates from likes and dislikes, wants and don’t wants. Doing whatever it wants to make sure that you feel ok. Operating from Human Will we tend to run into a clash of wills with coworkers, friends, family, loved ones. The easiest path is Human Will and it is temporary. Then there's Divine Will and is not always the easiest path as it requires you to let go of how you think some-thing should be or how some-thing should be. Divine Will knows how the story ends and has all the time in the world to get you there. Which brings us to Freewill. "You have the right to action, you do not have the right to what the fruits of your actions will be". Whatever your mindset was at the time of the action will determine the fruit. God lets you choose your way or Her way, reaping what you sow.
The act of will does not act on its own accord. There needs to be right understanding along with the faith that you're choosing wisely.
How do you know you're choosing from Human will?
- If the choice you're willing to make benefits you and you alone.
- You debate your choice and come up with supporting evidence to benefit you and you alone.
- It's the easier choice
How do you know you're choosing from Divine will?
- It benefits everything and everyone involved.
- Divine Will does not plead, beg or give you a lot of options.
- Its the harder choice
Choosing
from Divine Will is saying yes to the bigger picture.
We're all in this together and if one person loses we all lose.
Let's take care of one another…our lives depend on it!
Are you willing to
do-that
?
Love & Wisdom
