"So what, now what?"

Caroline Myss spoke at CSL Friday night as part of the Extraordinary Speakers Series. If you know her work - it's full of wisdom and insights on healing ourselves through our spirit connection. The part I want to focus on is her Warrior like "call to action" to get people off the victim/story wagon and into action. 1. Intuition - she talked about how us "spiritual" types are all excited when we can prove how strong our instinct is. She says there's no doubt we are all innately intuitive but most of us are selective of when we want to use it, believe it, act upon it. We are good at avoiding it. She talked about holding oneself accountable for living at a high vibration. 2. Forgiveness - is not an option - it's a necessity. "Get over it and move on." She made fun (I haven't laughed so hard in a long time to it was great) of those of us (including me) who keep repeating our "story" and use it as a perpetual excuse. Stop the blame game and get over it. Classic case of "so what, now what." Doesn't mean you don't clean up - but once done - move on. 3. Spiritual self-esteem - following on the fact that we are all naturally intuitive, tapping into and strengthening our spiritual self-esteem is keen. 4. Smile - she tells a story of a man standing at a stop light about to cross a road. He was contemplating what form of suicide to take when he gets home. There's a car waiting for him to cross. He sees the woman waving him to cross, with a smile. Thanks to that one smile - he decides to live after all. Never under-estimate the power of your smile. 5. Service - in her years of work with crisis survivors she finds they always come out with a deep desire to do service for others. And they do. I encourage you to watch the many hours of free video on her site: http://www.myss.com/. And remember, smile a little more today!
