Running Up That Hill

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road, Be running up that hill,
With no problems...
- Running Up That Hill – Kate Bush

Running up that hill – Let’s further define the Magical You.  I am constantly asked about this.  As I have been on this journey for quite a long time and I have found the road to love, joy and abundance to be filled with many blessings as well as several detours.  Some roads I’ve taken, many I’ve avoided entirely. The one thing I have learned is not to be in judgment.  Whenever I come upon a new situation, I stop and ask myself, “Does this fulfill my higher purpose and my greatest good?”  Will this help fulfill my destiny?

For years I struggled with pushing the rock up the hill.  It was an endless and constantly tiring battle.  Finally it hit me.  It clicked.  There was no hill.  There was no battle. The only hills and struggles that existed were the one’s that dwelled within me. I created those, whether it be conscious or unconscious.  Coming to this realization and the acknowledgement of this had a profound effect on me. 

My realization; I came before the mountain, the mountain didn’t come before me.  I created the mountain.  Actually, my question became why did I put this mountain in front of me in the first place?  What was I avoiding? Why was I holding myself back from the greatness that I felt I deserved? Did I truly feel I deserved it?  With my newfound responsibility and deeper awareness, I couldn’t lie or give excuses to myself anymore.  The opportunity presented itself and I was ready.  Actually, it was already happening!

Realization # 2 - I became the magic.  I was the mountain as I was bigger and changing my thought process thusly changed my world.  Projects, tasks, good or not so good situations and/or problems were the ball.  In this moment I found I could confront them where as before I would kind of confront, you know duck and maybe run.  This was not going to work for me anymore.  Not only did I want to change my life, I truly wanted to create the life I always wanted to live.  I wanted to go to France, I desired to create my own practice and I felt a need to reconnect and tap into my Magical Self and start living my joy again.  After going to France everything changed.  For many years it was almost as if I forgot how to live.

Just like every other spiritual lesson in my life, I felt the Magical You was asleep inside me.  It would take constant work and commitment on my part.  There is something to be said about the saying, “when the student is ready, the master will appear.”

My version became, “when you are truly ready to live the magic, you will create the magic.”  I created the life I always wanted to live and I know you can do the same too.  Change you… and so changes your world.

Love & Miracles ~
