I was dreaming. It was a big room full of people. They were asking me questions about raising children.
A man asked about his daughter. He said she was filled with ideas and desires to do things, all of which were different from what he wanted for her.
I answered, “Support her and get out of the way.”
This answer works for all ideas. Support them and get out of the way.
Most ideas that run themselves are part of our day. What to wear, what to eat? What time shall we leave? These are all ideas.
What about the ideas that demand more from us?
>Ideas that demand we learn something new.
>Demand that we grow up.
>Demand that we let go of what we think and think differently.
When these ideas speak, we must support them and get out of the way.
We support them by learning what needs to be learned.
>We do our homework.
>We practice. Just as we did when we were kids.
And then we get out of the way.
>We step away from our prejudices.
>We lay down our belief systems.
>We stop trying to control the outcome.
>We let the intelligent love that is the underlying force of the universe do what it does.
Here’s the deal. It always does. The force is always running the show. But we miss it because we are busy supporting our theories of how things work.
“Be one with the force, Luke.” Get yourself out of the way.
Like Luke, we train. We become skilled.
Where does your idea want you to go? How can you support your idea? Take action. Learn what needs to be learned.
Practice it. Get good at it. Follow up. Ask questions. Answer the questions.
And then get out of the way. Let it evolve and grow the way it was meant to grow.
We can’t force a daisy to be a rose, so we don’t support them in the same way.
We give them what they need and get out of the way. We watch the universe unfold its purpose, which we see as a rose, daisy, or child.
Whether we call this idea a child, a garden, a business venture, or a way to love and share, it follows the same rules.
Share support. Give it love and devotion. And then show your faith by getting out of the way.
What about bad ideas? Oh yes. They exist.
We appear to be drowning in a sea of bad ideas, many of which are backed by individuals who seem to lack the ability to distinguish between good and bad.
The principle remains the same.
And remember the force? Good will always, always, always overcome bad. But, it needs support. And it needs us to get out of the way of how we think it will happen.
When we fight evil ideas with evil ideas, we are part of the problem.
Bad ideas always contain a grain of truth, or we would never listen to them.
But are they filled with good?
Do they benefit everyone? Are they based on intelligent love?
Too many aren’t.
However, we can choose to be warriors for the truth.
Whether it is a truth for a child we love, an idea we cherish, or a country, we stand for the truth that good is the only power.
We support it. We take action. And we get out of the way as the force of infinite love resolves it. Because where love is, there can be nothing else.
This is not passive. It is active. Support. Take Action. And get out of the way. Repeat.
And do it now!
