Don't you love those days? You have an epiphany, and see things so clearly. Things that, before this day, you could see shapes and forms through the haze, you could even almost reach out and touch it. Like the word that teeters on the tip of your tongue, it's there, you just..... can't....quite....get it! Then, suddenly, it approaches you like a steady, 40 mile an hour Northerly wind, tearing through your mind and your thoughts, clearing the haze, bringing it close enough to reach. You sit there amazed at what you've known all along, yet couldn't quite express to yourself. Yet here it is.....in front of your face, figuratively, yet as real and solid as a photograph.
An idea is great. An epiphany is a REVELATION! An idea makes you happy, especially if everything works out and it either makes you money or brings satisfaction through family, friends, an event well thought out...BUT, an epiphany is like the Heavens opening and the angels singing! The rainbow emerges, showing you light and promise from a Higher Being, shining down, turning everything in sight to golden hues! A bit dramatic, but if you've ever had a true epiphany, you can relate. You can say "YES!!! YES!!! I know EXACTLY what you are talking about!" Because a good idea can change a situation, make things a little better. An epiphany changes your life!
If you've been to my blog site then you know that I've been slacking off in my journey. I haven't been moving in the direction I should be in my new adventure. I've lost sight of the goal, and began to give in before ever really getting started. What changed? Why am I writing this today? Why am I moving on, with force and more zeal than I realized I had, more energy and determination than I started with when all this began? One word: Epiphany!
I happen to have a lap top on the table in our dining room, where I sit to write and surf, which overlooks my husbands 20" computer screen on the desk in the corner. I was sitting there this morning, doing my own thing, while he did his, and suddenly something appeared on his monitor that I could spot from a room away. A boulder, 50 times the size of the boy standing beneath it with arms outstretched, pushing against it in a fashion where the photo actually made it look like he was preventing this large rock from tumbling down upon him. Suddenly, the epiphany!
Was the boy really holding the stone up? Of course not, but it really gave me encouragement and made me see things a bit more clearly and much more positively. Something as simple as that, with my mind actually on a silly computer game, suddenly opened my eyes, cleared my mind, and made me see things that I know have been there all along, but was keeping in my sub-conscience. BAM! Hit me like a ton of bricks!!
My website may not be the greatest literary masterpiece of all the ages. I may not make hundreds of thousands of dollars from it, or become the next Julie & Julia movie of the year. But truly, that's not what I'm in it for. I need to keep sight of the real purpose, keep in touch with my actual goals, and through this process, become the healthy human being I'm striving for, and hopefully help some other people along the way with their weight loss goals. If I make a few dollars for groceries or something...wonderful!
My epiphany has helped. It's encouraged and inflamed my desire to move ahead. It's shown me exactly what I need to do. This morning, after my great "discovery", I can see the direction I need to go. I can see the steps I need to take to accomplish my goals. And I can understand the attitude I truly need to be able to accomplish this. If you'd like to come with me and experience an adventure that can change your life completely, come see what I have to say in my blog. This morning I actually got pretty emotional, telling thoughts from deep within. Leave some of your own thoughts.....I'd love to hear from you. And look for a new video in a few days. I'm finally back on track.
