Ask Higg(in)s

Question: How do I get motivated?

Higgins: Impulses and inspiration are designed to provide motivation. If you seem not to have the oomph, or wherewithal, to follow through on these offerings then a little work may be required on your part.

A most excellent practice is to roll ideas around in your brain. The practice of tossing ideas around in the brain gets an energetic flow moving regarding the topic. The stronger and faster the flow of positive thought upon the topic the more likely you are to follow-up on it.

(Note that developing a negative flow of thought upon a topic will squash the idea very quickly.)

While it may seem as though the excitement and stimulation of an impulse or inspiration should be strong enough in its own right to stimulate you to action that is very often not the case. A little extra effort on your part is needed to start a cascade of ideas. That moment when the cascade becomes an avalanche is when your original idea begins to have enough momentum to carry you into action.

If something seems like a next logical step, it is. Do it. No matter how large and daunting the task may seem, the steps to completion will unfold tidily.

Think about what you think about. Do you ruminate upon the days events or do you consistently and persistently think about your dreams and how to achieve them?

Thinking about what you want sets up a flow of thought that broadens with time much the way rain water trickles into small streams that join to create small rivers which join to create larger rivers.

If you will consistently and persistently (and of course, happily) consider your dreams and how to achieve them the result will be that your dreams will become reality in much the same way the Amazon becomes the Amazon.

Regarding Creating:

You are Master Creators therefore you are happiest when creating. Each of you has different spiritual gifts to share and the goal of life experience is to create frames in which to display your gifts.

For painters, the picture is the frame. For dancers, the dance is the frame. You tend to get confused, thinking the picture is the gift or that the dance is the gift. The picture and the dance are expressions of the gift.

__

To clarify this we offer the example of Tim Tebow. For Tim football is the frame. His spiritual gift is knowing that positive expectation and gratitude, along with continual postive effort, are what brings success.

He knows that God doesn’t make you succeed. Success is there for all to achieve through positive expectation, gratitude and continual positive effort. That’s his gift. Football is simply the frame.

You are not a victim now. You have never been a victim.

When we use the word ‘victim’ we are talking about you in every moment. When you are in line at the checkout stand feeling frustration because the line moves slowly, frustration is a sign that you have moved into victim mode. Not a victim has choices, victims have no choice. No choice is a very low vibration and not compatible with the Truth of Who You Are.

Each time you respond to a thing assess whether the feeling you are given is lesser or stronger. Always move towards the stronger. It is a positive feedback loop meaning that as you begin to notice the stronger feelings you will like them better and then choose them more quickly and with greater ease.

We already feel, rising up in you, scenarios where you truly feel you had no choice as in the little one being bullied by the big one. We will agree that many times unpleasant things happen that in that moment you seem to have no control over. This is a larger lesson that we will address another day. For today, remind yourself that, “This is now and now I have a choice as to how I respond. I am not a victim.” Then ask yourself, “What would not-a-victim do?”

Stop worrying about the unemployment rate and whether or not the government is providing jobs for you. Instead, relentlessly pursue  expression of self that brings you a sense of fullness and satisfaction.

You will find in expressing the true you that there is a niche for you that you will like and that will provide you with a comfortable life.

It is not the responsibility of the government to do this. It is your responsibility and you will find it is also your joy because it is what you came here to do. When you allow a government to do this for you, you are giving away an essential part of yourself and that leads to unhappiness.

It matters not what a government is doing. It matters only what you are doing. Are you truly happy doing what you’re doing? If not, are you moving in the right direction?

Offering from Higgins:

There is something you’re forgetting in the process of intentional creating. We notice many of you diligently looking for the best in all situations and keeping your vibration up. What you are not doing is analyzing those same situations for the good in them as well as for opportunity to determine what you’d rather have.

Practice imagining yourself in optimal situations. With practice you will develop positive energy to go along with your imaginings and intentional creation of life experience will become easier.
