| Coping with Fallow Times In spite of the widespread teaching of the law of attraction, many of us are likely finding ourselves in a financial bind one way or another. Why is this so? Do you feel that the Creator must be upset with you? Doubting that you had enough faith to pull it off? Do you wonder why you even bothered with that stupid focus board in the first place? The key to success here is perseverance and understanding that the Divine Source does not hate you and that your faith is just fine. If you have a focus board then it is full of the things you want out of life and at no time should you throw away your dreams. So why me? You ask next. Well, that is simple, sometimes shit just happens. Sometimes, it has nothing to do with karma, lack of faith, bad choices or anything else along those lines. There are times, (and most everyone in the US is suffering for this), that we are subjected to the results of the bad choices made by others. I preach all the time that one can change their path by changing their choices, so how then if we are subject to the consequences of others choices can we control or change that? This is an "easier said than done point" but worth considering. You change that by not giving in to fear. So the first step in surviving fallow times is to stay strong and make no choices out of fear. Fear is the number one enemy of all humanity and the best way to stop that is to cut it off where it stands. Knowing that "this too shall pass" is the only mantra needed for this. It is sooo easy to look towards the ethereal plane and accuse our guides of not doing their job but this is a huge mistake. That is like a kid yelling at it's mom for not scooping food on the plate fast enough. Patience is the second step in survival and also among the hardest lessons for us all to learn. It takes time to set things back in order after a setback and if the Heaven's aren't working fast enough for you, too bad. The more you stomp your foot and carry on, the longer it takes for them to get their job done. If they are constantly having to stop working in the energy to smooth over your ego then that is time taken away from the solution. The next thing we all like to do is blame ourselves and review all of our choices like we can actually go back in time and fix it all. Ha! Wouldn't that be awesome? But it is just not going to happen. Maybe once the physicists have worked out the string theory and found a way for time travel, but I don't suggest holding your breath. So look at today for what it is and work on today, let yesterday and tomorrow worry about themselves. This makes our final survival tool letting go of worry. What good ever came of worrying? I can think of plenty of bad that comes from it though, stomach ulcers, addictive behaviors, high blood pressure, headaches and so forth. So just let it go. Like leaves flowing down a river, let it go. Be sure to support one another, if only in spirit. Sometimes a kind word or the acknowledgment of someones plight can make all the difference in the world. May your walk be in love and light.
