There were a few other words swirling in my brain this week on those dots between PERSIST and SUCCEED.  Words like, STRUGGLE, APPLY, TEST, OBSTACLE, CHALLENGE, FAILURE …

OBM (Old Blueprint Me) felt weighed down by those words, ready to snark at NBM (New Blueprint Me), “So much for your new reality showing up if you just sit, read, think, find shapes and colors and BELIEVE! HA! I TOLD you this would be work!”

In some respects, OBM is right – this IS work. This is LIFE! What OBM doesn’t know (and can’t know really, can she?) is that she’s the one who created this life from which NBM is now re-engineering a NEW life.

NBM is using everything she’s been doing over the last 10 weeks and fusing it, melding it, and creating cohesiveness where there has been chaos – a pyramid where there has been a random pile of rocks! MUCH easier to climb the steps of the pyramid than scrabble over jagged boulders, yes?

Phrases from the readings follow me (aka NBM) through my days now:

10-1 “That there is an abundance for everyone is evident, but that many fail to participate in this abundance is also evident.” I will PARTICIPATE!

10-9 “Thought is the connecting link between the Infinite and the finite, between the Universal and the individual.” I will THINK!

10-13 “Creation is the calling into existence of that which does not exist in the objective world.” I will CREATE!

GS – Scroll III “…success hides behind the next bend in the road. NEver will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.” I will GO around that corner!

I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy.

“Work” has taken on a whole new meaning. Like changing the word “chore” to “service” – “work” now means “opportunity” – and it is KNOCKING big time!
