The How


When I was returning to school last fall, I had run into an obstacle. I had no money! Classes were to start in less than two weeks and my tuition had not been paid. I attempted to take out a loan but I wasn’t approved. My mother wouldn’t co-sign for me. My father couldn’t co-sign for me. The money that the school did offer me was no where near enough to cover tuition. I truly believed I was going to have to sit out for a semester. This is something I absolutely did not want to do because I was desperate to graduate in May 2008. My limited thinking couldn’t fathom what was about to take place. My tuition got paid through an unpredictable circumstance. I can’t go into full detail about how my tuition was paid (thought it was LEGAL lol). I will be graduating in May 2008. The way my tuition was paid, I would have never thought of that possibility. I could not calculate all of the "hows."

I wanted to address worrying about the how. We often place limits on ourselves because we cannot see all of the possibilities. There have been things that we have all wanted to do but did not attempt it because we couldn't see how it would work. We shouldn't neglect our dreams and goals because it doesn’t seem possible. Our minds can be limited and we only see one road that will lead to our goal. However, in reality what our mind can conceive as the only how, is not the only how. The Divine's mind can see all the "hows", therefore we must learn to trust.

We often to confine the Divine within our limitations when we think with a linear mind set. We under think "how am I going to get the money to do this," or "how am I going to meet this person." We can only think of but so many scenarios of how. When we do this we close doors on ourselves. By not being open and thinking out of the box, we close ourselves to the limitless opportunities. But then we expect the Divine to work miracles yet we don't have complete faith.

We all have goals and dreams that we wish to achieve. And they are all possible to achieve, if you believe. Just let go and let God. The Divine offers infinite possibilities. That’s right! There are countless ways to achieve your objectives. There are ways that you can’t even imagine that your dreams will come into fruition. So don’t put God into a box. Sit back, follow your heart and let God open the doors for you. The Divine will open doors that you didn’t even think existed. Always remember there are infinite possibilities.

Intro...

Okay, so I decided to start a blog after an intense conversation I had with myself. In the midst of this convo I learned I have a lot to say about my life and the world in general, but no one to say it to. So I'll I decided I'd say it to the world. This blog is a reflection of my path of self discovery. My goal is to use this blog as vehichle to inspire others and myself to question and think about everything. The why comes and why nots of life can be a bit scary to ponder because of the unknown results, but its worth the journey.

Since this is my first blog I 'll give a little background on who I am. It would be impossible to describe myself in one entry, so I will just give a survey list of my general interest. I am a 21 year old college student who will be graduating this May (whoohoo!) My major is public relations and my minor is women studies. I love my minor, my major not so much. I write poetry, songs and short stories and in the near future plays. I am a natural health fanatic! I do not subscribe to allopathic medicine only naturopathy (herbs, accupunture, reiki etc) I am a vegetarian and I love it!!!

Well thats it for now...
