On commitment....

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can begin it. Boldness has genius, magic and power in it.
Begin it now."

There have been a thousand things in my life that I have wanted to commit too, maybe more..... in fact, if you were to ask my friends they would probably say they hear a new idea almost everyday.  But it is the commitment part that I seem to forget about.  I say it and somewhere deep down inside I really do not believe in the idea or the place or the thing and so I never set it in a solid commitment.  And wildly enough, none of the ideas have been born.

Yesterday, 11/10/11 was the full moon. A powerful time to re-view your intentions in life, to re-inforce them by re-visiting them.  That is a lot of RE.  The prefix re means the following as per dictionary.com:
a prefix, occurring originally in loanwords from Latin, used with the meaning “again” or “again and again” to indicate repetition, or with the meaning “back” or “backward” to indicate withdrawal or backward motion:
To go back to your intentions and to see them again and again.  REpetition!  So what are your commitments??

I was lucky enough yesterday to be experiencing the fullness of the moon right next to the beauty and flow of the ocean.  It stirred my soul as it usually does and inspired me to write.  I wrote about commitment, which oddly enough, in the past 28 years of my life I have just discovered. 
My intention:  My intention is to teach the world of love, courage, ability, success, and trust.  I will teach through yoga, through language/communication, and through modelling.
This quickly gives me an idea of who I am, brings me back down to why I wake up everyday.  It is my motivation.  If what I do in my life is not aligned with these things than I know it is time to change or let go of something.

This brings me to today... an auspicious day 11/11/11.  the number 1 travels straight up and down from heaven to earth and vise versa.  It is where we meet ourselves, our celestial body meets our earth body.  And here we come together.  Wherever you are in the world RE-visit yourself today!  Check back in, see if you are on your desired path.  And if you feel clueless about what your path is then create a 4 sectioned grid, label the sections good, bad, love, hate.   Begin to write in each grid things about you that align with each one of those labels.  This exercise gives you a space to see what aligns for you.  Slowly you can begin to let go of things that you hate and are no good at!  

Be well!!!
