Keep Going! Posted Apr 28, 2009 10:00 PM
1 Attachment Keep Going!.jpg (93.7 K) A dear friend sent me an encouraging message the other day. One of the things she said was ‘KEEP GOING’. The next day when I was relaxing on the train in New York, seemingly out of nowhere I was reminded of her message and it struck a chord deep within my Soul. In that moment I felt immense Joy and Gratitude and my Spirit cheered! I could not contain my favorite kind of tears. You know the happy kind that just flow like a drizzle from a faucet, couldn’t stop them if you tried. The kind where you’re crying and smiling and laughing all at the same time while your Soul is saying Yes!! Yes!! Yes!! It’s truly one of my favorite experiences in Life because I feel magically Alive! So why did I feel that way? Because in my Heart I Knew I would Keep Going… finally!! In the past… whenever I would get excited about something new… some new project… a new interest… a new creative endeavor… whatever. My pattern was: Go * Go * Go * Go * Go * Go * Go * Stop * Go * Go * Go * Stop * Go * Go * Stop * Go * Stop * Go * Stop * Go * Stop * Stall… * Quit I use to call myself all kinds of unpleasant names because once again I didn’t finish what I started. I could never figure out why. Instead of asking the right questions I just labeled myself as weak or lazy or stupid. Yet what if I did do the right thing? What if I did make the right choice? What if I intuitively knew that that thing actually wasn’t my passion and that’s why I moved on? What if I was drawn to something temporarily simply to learn a Lesson? What if Everything I did or didn’t do was perfectly orchestrated to bring me right here… Now… What if all of those experiences were part of my Journey to Remember my Passion & Purpose in this Life? I would have to say… YES… I Believe so! I Encourage YOU to Keep Going!! Whatever Journey you’re on at the moment… whether it be to Learn to Love Your Self… to Attract Your Soul Mate… to Remember Your Passion… to Allow Your Self to Express Your Passion…. Whatever it may be…. KEEP GOING! And, when you feel like you may have given up on yourself… ask your Self the Right question. If you really Listen you will Hear and you will Know. Be Good to Your Self! We ALL have Unique & Valuable Gifts… We ALL have an Authentic Message to share… that comes from our Soul. When you discover it… when you Remember… you will know… the feeling is indescribable. Now I’m on a new journey… a Journey to Fulfill my Passion & Purpose in this Life. I will always be Grateful to my friend for sending me that message because I am a human being… I know there will be challenges… yet since that message is now ingrained in my Soul… whenever I have a human moment that just for a moment feels like I might want to give up… I’ll lovingly hear… Keep Going!! lots of LOVE to YOU* ~Amy LIVE ALIVE!

I know that "indiscribable feeling" you are talking about. Amazing!!! It is such an adrenaline rush and addiction. It makes me want to live continuously in that moment or find another one very quickly. For me it is when another person who is struggling has an "aha" moment because I have asked the right question or provided the means for them to explore it, perhaps for the very first time. The same type of feeling comes when I have painted something that I am very proud of. My adrenaline rises to a level of almost ecstasy. These are reasons I KEEP GOING!!!

Thank you so much for this truth today. There are so many times when not seeing immediate results, or any type of result at all, can be so discouraging - and when you feel like you're alone, the fight can be that much harder. So, I join all of you in our walk to Keep Going! Or as I have said often, Press on girl - Press on! Anita

I needed to read this. I've been feeling like giving up, letting go of what I started, tired of the wait but reading your blog reminded me, it's journey, a process - somehow as I keep moving, things will work out as they should. Thanks for this. Sarah

How often do we judge ourselves in the middle of what we are creating rather than, as you write, keep going? While in my mind, I can see the furthest outcome of the smallest idea, it is only in the moment to moment inner guidance, that I see my roadmap. It's often just a few feet ahead. And far short of my original thinking.
I am often many years down the road before I see the value of the many small and 'unfinished' pieces of my living.

Thank my Dear Amy,

I love you dearly. I am at work so I only have but a second......I love this post......I too would berate myself when I quit something even though if I asked myself questions about it.....I know it is because it just wasn't my passion....when I am passionate about something I am like the energizer bunny....I ahve alot of energy so when I start something I am always energized and full of life...which I like about myself....I have decided its cool....then when I let something go I truly know it just isnt for me....I have given it my all.

I love this new journey we are on together and I love you. You are truly amazing and such a blessing in my life....a confirmation that I am on the right path for me

Miss you and talk to you soon

Love,

Debra

Thank you so much,Amy,
Sometimes this is the hardest thing- and a 'leap of faith' is needed to keep going , especially when everything around seems negative - and the 'night' is long and dark, -but hope comes in the 'morning'- and all the peices of life's jigsaw begin to form a meaningful picture.

I love that feeling when we suddenly get it!

I have had that experience many times and I think that it is very helpful to investigate the thoughts and beliefs that are there when we hear ourselves say the things that make us want to give up, or feel like a failure. Those are negative judgments that affect the way we create our reality as thoughts and judgments are the underpinnings of our creations in the physical world. Thoughts and beliefs structure emotions. retune.wordpress.com

I enjoyed reading every comment added! After reading the last one...the movie Finding Nemo popped into my head...the part where Dori sings "just keep swimming swimming swimming...." even though she was faced with the challenge of a bad memory...she didn't let it dampen her positive outlook on life...and she changed the life of Marlin in the process..without really trying - she was just being herself - and she was true to herself. So...just keep swimming! or going..it's all the same, and you will have a positive effect on those around you, even if you don't realize it. That's the beauty of positive living, and it comes back to you when you need it most -just like all these wonderful postings that went along with the message to keep going. It came to me when I needed it most, today. Thanks! I'm going.......to keep going!

Thank you for your insight...I keep forgetting that quitting something is not necessicarily a failure to launch but a lesson learned on the way to the best. Thank you for such an eloquent reminder.

thank you for the EXCELLENT reminder, amy!!! that made my day. and those are my favorite kind of happy tears too. they are showing up more and more frequently in my life these days as i KEEP GOING on the path of bliss. not to reach a destination, but to enjoy the ride of bliss itself. what an adventure.

i love being reminded that all those self-sabotaging behaviors were actually in my best interest, because those goals were not what was best for me at that time, and that it is okay to "quit" when you're moving toward something that may be great but isn't your perfect match. i love knowing i can trust myself!!!

and YES i fully agree that everything i do and don't do and that comes my way is perfectly orchestrated to bring me to this perfect moment, right here, right now. i actually have a statement worded almost exactly that way in my current daily affirmations! we are truly kindred spirits. thank you for the inspiration, girlfriend. keep it up! :-x

aloha,

Amy, my dear sister,

Can I just say welcome home! I had that 'drippy faucet' cry recently. Each day I feel closer and closer to my self. What I mean by that is I have finally stepped into the light of my true identity in the world, the spirit world and in the universe. I realize that I have been afraid of nothing.

Those feelings of joy is the message of freedom. We cannot be free until we are joyful. When we are joyful we are being our authentic self and it feels sooo good! Doesn't it Amy?

This morning when I got up I was overwhelmed with Joy. My son asked me, "What are you so happy about? I told him that I was happy so he could be happy. And he went on to say that he was happy because I was happy.

On my journey I learned that we truly cannot experience wholeness within until we want to share what we want for ourselves. I wanted to be happy so the world can be happy with me. I know that each of us carry within ,the power to change our world by wishing for others what you would like to experience.

I am so happy that you had your joyful cry.

Welcome Home

Thanks Amy,just what I needed to hear. Isn't it great to have firends,who can touch us at the right moment.
By sharing this you touched me too and reminded me that it's always forward.NEVER backwards.
Thanks.

Amy when I was growing up we dranked the real "original" Coca Cola" to feel great that day, but when I look on the blog page and see a new blog posted with your name, I know I am getting ready to get a boost for today and feel really great with your wisdom. Thank you for another boost. :-x

Are You busy?

Hi Amy,

thank you for your post and I totally agree with you.

I decided to be good and kind to my self from now on, so today I began with my a new method for clearing up old worn out negative thinking patterns and untrue beliefs.

I started writing a workbook where I wrote my new positive affirmations about this years' achievements that I want to manifest. I've cut photos and pasted them in to it and now it looks like a treasure map. I can look at and read aloud my affirmations as often as I want, I will definitely keep going on rereading it and rewriting if better ideas pop in my head until I accomplish my goals.

With best wishes,

I have to tell you, as much as I do not wish to admit, all the things happened to me have brought me to where I am now. So I "keep going" no matter what!
and am learning to be good to myself, nurture myself, be kind to myself. it is the hardest things I have ever done. it is easy to ignore self worth, and our value. Honor ourselves. I am learning, keep going.
