As we celebrate this very special Blue Moon, it seems like the perfect time to share this piece I wrote as a gift to a group of Malcolm Shabazz City High School seniors. Enjoy!
What If….
What if…. every person on the planet was born with a
special gift to share? Then….you have a gift to share too.
What if….each person’s gift is like a puzzle piece and
when all the pieces are in place, we will have heaven on earth? Then….you can help change the world
just by being you.
What if….everything that happens to you is somehow
preparing you to share your special gifts?
Then….there would be no shame in where you came from, what you’ve
done, what you haven’t done, or what’s been done to you. Even mistakes would be perfect because there
are no mistakes.
What if….your special gifts are the things you love to do
most? And to find those gifts all you
have to do is listen to your heart? Then….your special gift is within
reach.
What if….you can’t feel or hear your heart? Then…. it is probably clouded with doubt,
anger, regret, disappointment or hurt.
What if….all you have to do to clear the clouds from your
heart is forgive? Forgive the people who
hurt you. Forgive life for disappointing
you. Cry out the hurt…scream out the
anger…breath out the doubt … let go of the past….take deep breaths. Then….a
clear heart is within reach.
What if….your soul had a plan all laid out for you before
you were born? And the plan guides you
to your favorite dreams? Then….all
your dreams can come true.
What if… all you have to do to follow the plan is AGREE,
then look for signs telling you which way to go? Then….creating
your dreams is simple, but takes commitment.
What if…..you started each day saying, “I AGREE to the
next steps on my plan”? Then….you
would know that you are always making progress toward your dreams.
What if….you don’t know where to begin? Then….you
should begin where you can. Do what you
already know how to do. Start anywhere
and follow it everywhere – remember, the whole universe is helping you get
there.
What if….you discover what it is you love the most, but
fears get in the way? Then….you
will call on the faith and courage inside you.
And you will remember that you are never alone.
What if….you get stuck along the way? Then….you will ask for help and the
universe will send it. It might be a
person, an idea, an experience, or a sign, but if you ask for it, help will appear.
What if…. getting stuck, failing, losing, and getting
disappointed all happens on purpose so that when you are ready to share your
gifts, you will be wise, strong, and compassionate toward others who are
struggling? Then….getting
stuck, failing, losing and getting disappointed would be worth it.
What if….your beliefs, feelings, and thoughts are creating
your moment-by-moment reality? Then….you will choose empowering
beliefs, good feelings, and positive thoughts on your own behalf. Sometimes fears or doubts will come up, but
you will breathe deeply and send them on their way.
What if….doing what you love attracts everything you need
– money, love, wisdom, joy? Then….you
have no excuses for not doing what you love.
What if….all of this is true? Then….you have everything you need to
live your dreams. What are you waiting
for? . Start creating heaven on earth!
What if…. you are reading this
because your gifts are calling you?
