It may seem that the two themes are not related to each other but
they are not only related but also mutually supportive. Hopefully by now
we are all more comfortable dealing with the unknown, as that theme
from November will continue to influence us over the next few months.
However this month we shift our focus to more of how we can actually
deal with the unknown by examining where and how we are RESPONSIBLE as
well as learning to identify and take advantage of OPPORTUNITY.
Let’s start with RESPONSIBILITY as that is the main theme that shows up first.
In defining RESPONSIBILITY, I like to include “the ability to
respond” as part of the definition. You should always be the first
responder to whatever is happening in your life. You should be the first
responder to your own issues. It helps if you can always come from the
place of accepting that you create absolutely everything and every
situation in your life. The power in that responsibility is that if you
created it, you can uncreate it, you can change it, and you can always
create something new.
This is not to say that you have to do it alone and can never ask for
help. You can have incredible support, cooperation and guidance, but
this month’s lesson is to really get that no one else can do it, heal it
or fix it for you. You can have all the guidance in the world, all the
meditations, visualizations, therapy, healing work, advice, financial
support and help, but if you do not RESPOND in a way that takes full
responsibility for your situation, you will not change anything in the
end.
