The Spiritual Chicks^SM Speak Out!
How can I possibly have all the answers?

One of the biggest misconceptions about life is that going for something wholeheartedly means knowing exactly how to do it before we start.  While it’s true that we’ve got to be willing to take the necessary steps once we find out what they are, this is something quite different from having all the answers ahead of time.  So, for those of us who were absent the day they handed out the road maps to health, success and abundance, here’s some good news.  You don’t need them.  All we need to do is align ourselves in the right direction and let life take care of the rest.  That’s right, it may sound simplistic, but a little faith and direction go a long way.  It’s like watering your garden with a hose.  If you just point the hose, the water will do the work.  But most of us keep bending the hose to look inside the spout and check if the water is coming---and water can’t flow through the kink.  Or we get side tracked envying our neighbor’s garden, spraying the hose in all sorts of random directions, and then spend weeks reading gardening books trying to figure out why our seeds won’t grow like the ones next door.   

When we decide to do something in earnest, that’s usually all it takes before life presents us with situations to make it happen.   We don’t have to have all the answers ahead of time, and we don’t even have to rid ourselves of every vestige of doubt that tells us it can’t be done.  We just have to be willing to entertain the idea that those doubts are our subjective ideas and can be overcome, and BAM, life will deliver that experience to our door.  Life is infinite power and unlimited knowing---so why do we  feel the need to provide it  with all the answers?   Declare your intention and let Life bring the answers to you.
