Be glad. Be very glad.

We love to see people making dramatic career changes in order to explore a newly discovered talent. It helps us believe that we have potential to do something that will astound us.

Well, believe it. You are one locking yourself into that mental image of yourself as a left-brain or right- brain person. The rest of us believe in your limitless talents, so why don't you?

My hero, Leonardo Da Vinci, was fortunate that nobody pegged him early on as an accountant (he planned to become one, but alas, as an illegitimate child, he was not considered suitable for that career). It's lucky for all of us that he ended up dabbling--in art, engineering, music, geology, and everything else he encountered. He was free to dive into many subjects because he never labeled himself as a certain type.

Keep in mind that thoughts become things. Whatever you tell yourself you can't do, you won't be able to do--either because you have convinced yourself you have no skill or because you never give yourself opportunity to try. You’ve put deadbolts on your own doors!

Go seamless. Erase that line between left and right. Visualize wholeness and all that it implies. Stop with labels, and start with lessons, rekindled interests, tentative new directions.

Explore those rooms in your mind, and you'll be on your way to becoming fully integrated human you were born to be.

Now if only I could find that extra room in my house.

The truth revealed was yes, I strive to be in a similar position. Yes, I was somewhat frustrated I had not achieved some of my goals yet. Time to take a closer look at my goals, then.

The next, logical, forward-thinking step is to turn this learning situation into a positive, present tense affirmation. I needed to find gift to be grateful for in situation, which I did. I desired to let go of jealousy, knowing it had served it's purpose, which I did.

An important point in this lesson was in acknowledging my feelings - so called 'good' and 'bad'. In actual fact, they are neither good nor bad, they simply just are. Adopting this attitude leads to total acceptance of self. A total acceptance of self is acceptance of spirit, acceptance of Universe, allowing you to open to more.

It's what you DO with those feelings that matter. One can be FEELING jealous and not ACT jealous. Notice your feeling of jealousy or whatever other commonly perceived negative emotion that occurs. Simply notice. Hold it in forefront until truth/purpose of it has been revealed. Feeling angry? That's okay. Do nothing. Sit with it. Listen and learn from it.

And be grateful for lesson! As painful as it may be at time. It's grand and exciting to come to new conclusions about yourself, adding to faith that you can overcome any challenge presented to you.

For record, I AM grateful to have been given this lesson. Without feeling of jealousy, I may not have taken a closer look at my goals and asked myself if plan is working for me. I chose to use situation to fuel my vision, turning it into a positive experience. Who could ask for anything more?
