How sticking to your truth gets you your dreams

I had an interesting thought today.  A dear friend said to me how last year, for me, was a real time for clearing to make way for creating the success of this year.  I really feel that.

Clear intention.  I had something that I really wanted so much.  I was hell bent on getting it and then everything fell apart and it seemed like I would never have my heart’s desire.  I gave up hope, well mostly.  There was an iota, a minuscule tad of glimmer of a spark of hope left in me.  Just may be, maybe it will work out, I thought.  But I didn’t give it energy, I had given up on my dream.

However, it seemed that all the energy I had put in previously get the thing I wanted had built up so much momentum, so much force and will.  Things were moving forth towards me attaining my goal, that I didn’t need to be  adding my energy to it.  It had taken a life of its own. Like that amazing quote by Goethe (see below) I felt providence moving.  I had committed and providence had moved too. Things did seem to issue forth from the decision and material events conspired to help me.

After I left my partner because he didn’t want a child, I was alone, not knowing what would happen.  I had given up hope he would ever change his mind.  I stuck to my truth of wanting a to be a mother even though it meant leaving the love of my life.  It was the most frightening thing I ever did – to leave someone so precious to me to go after something I wanted deeply.  But I wanted it with him yet I couldn’t have it.  What a choice.

So I left, took a leap.  It took me two years to do it, but I eventually connected with my courage and made the move into the unknown and held on tightly to my truth.  A bit like the Fool in the Tarot , leaping off the cliff to who knows where but somehow knowing I will be helped and guided.  I felt like the embodiment of that archetype at that time of my life.

Interestingly, the power was in sticking to my truth because the essence of the whole experience is, in me sticking to my truth wholeheartedly, with clear intention and power, the other person got to reflect on his choices.  A space was created by me acting on my truth.  My action was a mirror for my partner.

He realised how much I and our relationship meant to him.  He was able to consider his own choice of not wanting to be a father and go through his own process by himself and for himself, all the while creating his own committments and dreams.

I feel like these words of Goethe came alive in my life and I will live by my experience.

We are now pregnant with our first child and because of the work, decisions and reflections we both made, we are happier than previously.  Our relationship is like a rock, there is love, clear and deep communication and true respect.

My hope is that this blog will inspire others to share about their experiences too.  Have you been afraid to commit, to act, to take action but done it anyway, knowing it was your truth and had the experience turn out for the better?  Please share below.

Here is the quote by Goethe.  It’s a real treasure.

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”

This is true magick – we all have it in us.
