A reminder on keeping our word because energy flows both ways.  The universe expects us to keep our word too.  Last week we talked a lot about trusting ourselves and we learn to trust ourselves through honesty and through keeping our word.  We establish the credibility of follow through and we know that we can do anything we say.  I’ve struggled in pity land for a few days now because I’ve been waiting for a particular outcome to come through and I’ve been waiting for a significant amount of time for this.  I’ve constantly heard encouragement that it’s coming and to keep my expectations high but I have yet to see this “promised” result.  It has become discouraging to not see the result.  That’s when this thought hit me.  I still need to keep my word even when it gets hard.  If I want to receive something then I need to be ready for it energetically as well as physically.  I need to keep my word no matter what is happening and continue to move forward. 

Energy speaks volumes.  It speaks louder than our thoughts alone.  Energy is determined by how we feel, yes, but it’s also determined by what we do.  When we do things in conflict, the universe doesn’t know how to respond.  So if we say we trust but then flinch back from challenges, that’s a mixed message.  The universal energy operates on clarity, consistency, and determination.  So if we build our lives on the concept that we get what we give, then that applies to our thoughts as well.  We can’t think one way and act another.  We can’t say we have faith that something will happen but keep running back to how it used to be.  That isn’t to say there aren’t times to play it safe, rather, as an overall energy, there comes a time when we put aside the fear and keep going anyway.  The universe speaks in energy, so we need to show that we’re keeping our word as well by continuing to follow through.

This is we get what we give on the most basic level as it applies to goal setting.  For example, you can’t lose any amount of weight if you don’t evaluate your intake and exercise habits.  We can’t say something and not take action and expect it to happen.  Jump in and commit to what we say we will.  It’s simply that the universe knows how to respond and what we are ready to receive based on how aligned our thoughts are with our actions.  The integrity, knowing who we are and acting from that place.  And sometimes even acting from who we want to be when we can’t quite see the result yet.  It isn’t always easy to have unwavering faith especially when the odds don’t’ seem to be in our favor or when things continually seem to fall apart.  It can be really difficult to pick up and keep going when things turn to rubble.  But knowing the goal and our purpose gives us the strength to keep moving forward.  That’s when the energy aligns.  That’s when the universe can deliver.
