Determination

This week's message comes from an Animal Spirit Guide, Salmon ~ Determination.

"You know where you are going and YOU WILL GET THERE."

Sometimes it seems easier to just give up in the face of adversity, especially when the struggles you face feel overwhelming and insurmountable.  Yet these trials and tribulations are all part of your spiritual path, and are necessary to make you stronger and more capable at dealing with life's unpredictability.  The ordeal you're faced with now is not necessarily a light one; and to succeed, it will take a clear intention, a commitment to purpose, and a willingness to stay with it until you've reached a calmer part of the river.

Even if you're not sure of your purpose or why you're faced with these challenges, follow your path in absolute faith, and the reasons will reveal themselves within the process of your journey.  Sometimes your actual goal isn't apparent, even when the direction you must go is.  You must trust that your direction is being inspired by the deepest sense of your innate knowing, align your intention with Spirit's intent, and let nothing stop you from moving ahead.

Resourcefulness

This week's message comes from an Animal Spirit Guide, The Racoon. The message is ~ Resourcefulness.

"You have all the resources you need."

Everything you need is right in front of you if you only look. There's no need to be fussing about this and that, creating drama and turmoil, worrying about whether you'll have enough the next hour, the next day, or the next week. Whatever you need will be there. You might have to forage a little, but it will. Trust that. There's nothing to fret or worry about. Not really.

Use your brain and your intuition in partnership to not only help you solve the problem, but actually solve the problem. At first, it may not be obvious where to look; that's why you have to poke around a bit until you turn up what you need for this or any other situation. Sometimes when you follow your hunch and look under the couch for your lost wallet, you find the wallet. And don't get tweaked if all the steps you take don't lead to an immediate solution. Don't proceed blindly or out of anxiety or fear. It's impossible to hear your intuition or your brain when you're jumping around randomly. So relax. Trust that what you need will turn up.
