How I dare to ignore the recession.
|
. All this agony caused by selfish grabbing based only on ‘What’s in it for Me and forget about what happens to anybody else’.
I am totally over accepting it as normal and over how it endangers my two daughters’ future. |
 Let's go for life and dare to live; like this sailing I did in the Southern Ocean on a replica of an ancient Pilot Cutter. |
Just look at how this recession paralyzes everybody with fear and look at what it is also doing to us as a whole.
We have become fearful at work AND slaves to the money for goodness sake. Our personal greatness and indigenous power is constrained by our preoccupations with meager survival issues. Surely we can do better than that!
Marianne Williamson keeps stressing too, this is NOT us, this is not how we are meant to be living. We are powerful co-creators, capable of living magnificent lives; with a partner like God we don’t have to be restricted by fear or smallness, playing a game of just surviving.
With the mighty God in tow or with God leading the way, we should be in for the ride of our life and not on this piddly little path we are presently on.
But the problem that’s hung around for a long time now is ‘I would really like to but I can’t’.
Given this problem there was NO way I could co-create with God or anyone else for that matter because . . . I could not trust.
I could not trust things to work out, I did not trust things I couldn’t see like God and I could not trust other people.
I actually did not trust anything or anybody, God included, who or whatever he, she or it was.
My mind always went to ‘Give me one reason why I should trust this?”
Big corporate bosses turned out to be liars.
I’ll let the holy churches’ skeletons speak for themselves.
I have never seen politicians do anything, even the well meaning ones.
My mother could not prevent me from being used by that selfish mean girlfriend.
The so called trustworthy banks lose your money just like that.
Even past partners did not always have my best interest at heart.
I couldn’t even trust my own mind; it used to fall for every advertised mental gimmick you can think of.
It greedily and ignorantly latched on to those passive income schemes.
It would rather choose denial when companies promised life-balance options to their staff and it refused to see that these options only worked for people who didn’t have a life to balance.
So it is no mystery why I did not know how that alien thing called trust tasted, how it felt and how to do it. But I did trust one thing. To become like Marianne Williamson, a co-creator with God, I’d need to actually give it a go and suss it out.
I figured I’d start with discovering ‘Why’. Why trust in the first place.
Apparently, there is this ‘invisible bigger plan which I am part of but will never see’ that requires me at certain times to stop interfering, to sit back knowing that all is well and that everything will work out just fine. All I need to do is trust and let God and the universe do their thing.
I wouldn’t dare think of interfering with a top chef cooking his signature dish, would I?
And I wouldn’t dare spoil a surprise get away weekend, would I?
So trust is vital for a new way of living. Living a life
. . . that will let me override the recessions and live abundantly and prosperous regardless;
. . . that will let the mighty God be my partner;
. . . that will let the Law of Attraction go to work and create a new, peaceful world order where there will be enough for everybody.
Oh boy, was it hard to learn to trust the unknown.
It was like asking me to jump out of a multi-story burning building, unsure as to how I was going to land.
Necessary but oh so frightening.
No wonder my mind went looking for assurance. It just refused to let me jump that easily, even after finding out all the Why’s.
It kept searching for more and more explanations that could appease it, that could make sense of this trusting and attraction business.
It simply wanted a very reassuring knowing before it could even begin to consider any do-ing.
I am ever so grateful for ‘Love Without End’ by Glenda Green, ‘The Trance of Scarcity’ by Victoria Castle, ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ by Wallace D Wattles and ‘The Ringing Cedar Series’ by Vladimir Megre.
The writings in each of these wonderful books, deeply touched my heart and made it rejoice, shouting, ‘YES, YES!’
Their content fuelled my heart, made it strong and confident, but more significantly they spoke to my mind as well.
In short here’s what all these books say;
I can finally begin to bridge the gap between knowing and do-ing.
I can finally dare to ignore recessions, to live rurally while building a brand new internet business and to live ‘full out’.
It is with my present knowing born from the explanations I’ve read that I can trustingly dare to egg on my youngest daughter to stand firm, and not give up on her aspirations even if appearances would imply otherwise, with this recession, job scarcity and all.
Yes, I dare to do it.
I dare because I am finally learning to trust God, the Universe and the invisible plan. And I also have John and Ann-Marie to back me up and anybody else who dares for that matter.

What a truly gutsy and empowering rant. I LOVE IT!!! It just gave me shivers and feelings of YES! YES! YES! Good for you. Telling it like it is. I love that. I so relate to where you are coming from. To see the bigger picture, the greater plan is SO important right now, or we are fooled into believing everything we hear and read in the news. I refuse to. We are more than THAT, and this is what we MUST remember. We have forgotten who and what we REALLY are. Thank you SO much for putting this out here like this. You are definitely firing on all cylinders and I LOVE that. You go girl!! I’m right there with you. Hugs, Robin
Oh Robin, thanks so much for hearing me. This makes my heart sing as how you live your life also resonates hugely with me. We need to keep singing this song that there is more than what we are told there is. That is the only way to find all the glory of that what is on offer. What is on offer is incredibly beautiful beyond belief, so lets all go and get it. Hugs to you too.
Hi Wilma,
Like you, I’m tired of hearing the stories of doom and gloom. If we listen to all that’s in the news, we could start believing the world is coming to an end.
Like you, I’m looking to the possibilities. I look for signs of an improving economy, not a faltering one. We have so much power in our minds, it’s a shame not to use it to create a world of hope and prosperity.
I wish you tons of success as you journey on your path. Your positive attitude will be the driving force that propels you to your dreams.
P.S. I’m with you all the way. Happy Blogging!
@ Barbara, it always delights and warms me to know that it becomes more and more understood how we do make great possibilities happen, despite the world views we are presented with.
And blogging is such a great way to get a different message out there and I also do appreciate your site because of its obvious generosity.
Anybody who wants to know what Babara’s site is doing, I’d say click on her name and have a look.
Hi Wilma,
I am so with you on this recession business and all that weird negativity we face everyday….So so tired of it. Thank god i am not alone.
You have put it so beautifully, as to how trust made it all seem better. I am a firm believer in destiny and the Almighty’s recipes…hence i don’t truly let the negative attitudes and rants break me. But sometimes, its difficult to avoid falling into the trap of it all….but for me what works is a constant conversation with our Maker and He makes me feel all better. Oh and i DARE too!
Such passion in your writing….I loved it.
Hey Wilma,
I am surrounded by business people who are thriving right now and continue to ask the question, “what recession?” I guess it’s where we choose to look. We create our own news really. The news that permeates from that square box in our living rooms is one place to find it but potentially dangerous. I don’t believe world news is any worse than it was 200 years ago. Because technology is so fast now, we tend to receive it all at once. 200 years ago we it might have taken weeks to reach us. At least it came in small amounts for us to process or it faded before anyone could find out. These days nothing seems to fade when things move at the speed of light through cables and airwaves. Back in the day you could guarantee that the news would have been BIG news given the effort to deliver it. Today, we seem to get mundane fillers like “grandmas cat up a tree, the loudest scream competition or how many pegs you can stick on ya face.” Anything and everything is news now.
Great what you said there Zeenat about keeping that conversation alive with our Maker. I like to dream about my goals in life as I believe they were given to me from something or someone bigger than me.
Great to see you building your internet business Wilma. I’ve just started mine too hehe. I would love to catch up with you guys too by the way.
I agree with you whole-heartedly on this. Living in fear–of the economy or anything else, is brutal on our spirits–and it attracts desperate, negative things into our life. It’s a vicious cycle! I say turn off the news, be present and mindful in all that you do, be grateful, and love everyone you are with like there’s no tomorrow!
Yes, I think this climate of fear is such a problem. I don’t know if you are familiar with Gangaji, but I recently interviewed her, and she had just gotten back from Europe, and talked a bit about how much more anxiety there is here, and how it clouds our judgment and response to each other and social issues. It becomes all about self-protection. And of course the initial instinct that got us into this mess, of needing more and more and more, is a problem too. It’s like we are seeing all our worst egoic instincts made manifest.
newspapers to television, so many negativity is thrown at us from the time we wake up to when we go to bed.
Good thought provoking post.
@Blair. As always thanks for your valuable musings.
@Zeenat. Falling in the trap, of course we get effected if we are not careful. But I do agree, it is all in the company we keep and the Maker is sure a great one to be with.
@Jodi. Yes, limiting what can get through and be with your thoughts where it really counts, with you with whatever you do in the moment. Lovely to see you here and Joy Discovered is what it is all about, I so relate to that.
@Lisa. Yes, friends of ours love Gangaji and amazing that you had a chance to interview her. Self protection is so leading to separatedness. If only we could really get that there is always enough for all of us and that moderation is the key here, we will eventually all live in peace within ourself in a peaceful world. It is lovely to have you commenting, thank you.
@Shamelle. Luckily for us there are off buttons. Thanks for visiting.
What recession?
I love this post. I have come to accept the “world’s boom and bust way of operating,” but I like the way you challenge it.
@ Ralph, hahaha, precisely.
@Vered. Yes, the world around us and how it operates can become invisible. I loved how you made us see Las Vegas on your post Sin City.
You speak straight to my heart with this post. Well thought out, and well written. The world is full of “chicken little’s telling us the sky is falling”. We must believe there is a spirit within us that is never poor. And you are so correct that we are co-creators of our destiny. Thanks.
Hi Erin.
There are so many view points out there that can scare us to death when we let them override our view point that is within.
Isn’t it great once you kind of know that your view point from within is a lot more generous and uplifting than the view point from outside.
Once you know that it is a matter of carefully choosing and carefully checking from which view point your choices stem.
From the negative scarey outside one or from the uplifting, heart generated one.
Thanks Erin, for taking the time to add your view point to this dialog. Love Wilma
