Relying On Wisdom

November 11, 2007

Dear Friends,

As a writer, I always appreciate clever wordplays and creative phrases. I also enjoy the way real words can be made into acronyms, such as:

EGO = Edging God Out
FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real

I recently received an email from Christy in Peoria, Illinois, who came up with an appropriate acronym for a word that I frequently use in my book. That word is “row.” And Christy’s acronym is:

ROW = Relying On Wisdom

If you are familiar with my work at all, you know that I consider “rowing” a very important aspect of living life in the divine flow. Rowing represents the action step in the manifestation process . . . but not just any action. As I use the term, rowing refers to taking divinely inspired action—the only kind of action that will lead you to your chosen destination with effortless ease.

When you “row” you are basing your action on divine counsel, or—as Christy put it—relying on wisdom. That means, however, that you must be willing to take some time to get in touch with that wisdom, and distinguish it from any fear-based, ego-driven thoughts. You must take some time to get quiet, go within, and access the intuitive guidance of your spirit. And you must take some time to thoughtfully consider the insightful guidance that flows forth from the spirit of others.

To rely on wisdom—to ROW—requires you to pause after each and every “stroke of your oars” to attune yourself to the flow, and make sure that you are still going in the same direction that the divine current is flowing.

Said another way, you must pause after each and every step you take to make sure that your next step is another divinely directed step . . . the kind of step that gives you a feeling of peace and ease, instead of making you feel tense and anxious . . . the kind of step that is usually confirmed by the sudden appearance of related signs and synchronicities.

Do you have a desire that you would like to fulfill effortlessly? Do you have goal that you would like to accomplish with divine ease and grace? Then remember to ROW (Rely on Wisdom) instead of acting out of FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) or making choices based on EGO (Edging God Out).

In short, remember to put your trust in GOD (the Guidance Of the Divine)!

Okay . . . maybe that’s a bit of a stretch.
