Angel of
Success
Success means
so many different things to many different people. For some people,
success is earning a great deal of money, living in a big house and
driving an expensive car. For others success is being able to stay at
home with their children. Learning another language. Being able to
coax an Orchid into reblooming. Or just getting along with a
sibling/spouse/parent day after day. Success comes in many forms and
has many meanings. What success are you seeking in your life right
now?
This Angel has appeared to you today to help you first understand what
success means to you as an individual. Though many of us are led to
believe otherwise, not all of us want the same things. For some,
success might mean being able to hike their way around the world,
exploring many different cultures and environments with little money
in their pockets but feeling rich with experience. Another may wish to
head a large business, successfully interacting with other business's
on a national as well as international level. Unfortunately, many of
us feel that we are not as successful as someone else if we don't have
all the supposed symbols of success that we think we are supposed to
have. Do you even really want those things? If so, fabulous and
believe me you have this Angel's blessing and support in reaching
those goals! If not, don't beat yourself up over it, instead allow
yourself to formulate a new concept of success for yourself. This
Angel will be delighted to help you with this too!
It may be that you have spent a great deal of time and energy pursuing
things that you thought you wanted only to find that they stay just
out of reach or have not brought you the happiness you thought they
would. It may be that even though you have some or even all of the
symbols of success, your life still feels empty, relationships with
others strained and worst of all, your relationship with yourself may
feel battered and broken. Success needs to be courted both on the
physical and the spiritual levels. This Angel has come to tell you
that its not too late to redefine what success truly means to you yet
you must be very honest with yourself. Can you find the courage within
to let go of those symbols of success that have no real value for you
and replace them with symbols that do? Mind you, the symbols that you
may need to release at this time may have nothing to do with money or
material objects. Perhaps it is the constant demands on your time and
attention when you would rather be spending time with your family. You
may have felt that success involved having many people rely on you or
that success meant that you would have little time to spend away from
your work. Right now, sit down with this Angel and ask to be shown
what symbols of success you are holding onto that are in reality,
keeping you from true success in your life. Maybe you even feel that
some of the material trappings of success no longer speak of who you
have become as a person. The big house and expensive car may be taking
more time, money and energy than you had expected, and now you wish to
devote more of those energies to other areas of your life. This
Angel's message to you is this; only those things, what ever they may
be, that help you feel happy, fulfilled and thrilled to be alive have
a place in your life. You never have to hold onto anything because
someone else expects it of you! This is YOUR life and YOUR success! If
the success you have right now is not fulfilling, its time to begin
the quest for the type of success that does. Every step of the way
this Angel will be guiding you along, just listen to your heart and
you will hear what is right and good for you.
You may have been pursuing something that you hoped would bring you
the symbols of success you have been seeking only to find that you
never quite get there. You may feel very frustrated and alone right
now and wondering if you will ever have your "share of the pie". This
Angel says to you that great abundance and prosperity, which includes
an abundance of success, is the birthright of every person on the
planet! The Universe in all its entirety is FOR you, not against you.
What may be blocking your own version of success is that what you are
doing that you hope will bring you what you desire is not your true
calling, your dharma. It may be that you have something very special
to share with the world through being a writer, an actor, an artist, a
teacher, a scientist or humanitarian. You may know already that there
is that one thing you would really love to be doing with your time and
energy, something that makes your heart sing with joy each time you
think of doing it. You may also believe that what ever that thing is,
it could not possibly bring you the aspects of success that you desire
in your life. Perhaps other people have told you that your dream is
impossible, impractical. You would be lucky indeed to make a living at
it, eventually, so in the meantime expect to starve and struggle.
Sighing, you shelved what it was you really wanted to do and went into
what someone else thought "best" for you. If there is any real "sin"
in the world it is this: The denial of who you are as an individual.
No amount of material success will ever make you happy if you are not
being true to who you are. If you don't believe me, there are plenty
of stories in the world about folks who gained great material success
and fame at the expense of their true selves only to live miserable
lives. The ideal is to believe that you can have both the material
success and the spiritual success that comes from trusting in and
believing in the urgings of your own Soul. You will attract far more
money as well as happiness by going for what you truly love rather
than buying into someone else's concepts of what success is and what
road you need to take to get there. This Angel believes in you. Please
believe in yourself! For by pursuing that which your own Soul is
urging you to do, you will find you attract more of the success you
really desire in your life in amounts that far exceed what you could
ever have dreamed of!
It may be that you really are not sure what you would really love to
be doing. Maybe your dreams and goals were so squashed from childhood
that they have been deeply buried and appear to be inaccessible to who
you are now. This Angel comes to you now to help you remember what it
was that you as Soul wanted to accomplish in this life when you came
to this planet. This Angel asks you to think about what you enjoy
doing in your free time, what do you think about doing when you
retire, what is it that when you hear of other people doing it, you
even feel a twinge of envy. These are all clues that will help you
define what it is that you love that would bring you the success that
you deserve. And its never too late so don't set up excuses such as "I
am too old, I can't afford to go back to school and properly learn how
to do this thing, I don't have the time or energy, what if others
think I am just being stupid or selfish!" I once read a story about a
woman in her sixties who all of her life wanted to be an actress. I
think this Angel must have touched her on the shoulder along with a
few others for one day she rang up an agency and asked if it were
possible for someone of her age to become an actress. She now does
advertisements for television and has even appeared in a movie or two.
She found her success by trusting in herself, trusting in that little
voice that whispered in her ear and said "there IS a place for you
with what you desire to do". This is real success! No matter where you
are right now in your life, no matter what you think you may face in
terms of opposition from others or obstacles such as financial, if
there is something that feels like Soul success to you, this Angel
will help you reach it! Ask for this Angel's help, ask the Universe to
move on your behalf! Goethe says it so beautifully "Until one is
committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always
ineffectiveness. 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 favor all manner of unforeseen
incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could
have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you do, or dream you
can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it
now." I know that Providence does indeed move too. Even as I began
working on this oracle for my website I found that the words seemed to
just flow when I trusted and believed in the direction it was moving.
I struggle with my writing, its both the deepest pain and the highest
ecstasy I have ever known in my life. Yet as soon as I committed to
successfully completing the first 18 pages that made up the first
edition of this oracle, then Providence moved to assist and support
me. Every article, every newsletter, every single bit of writing that
I complete is a huge success to me. As to how it is received by
others, I hope for the best and I am thrilled when I hear from people
that something I have written has helped them or served them in some
way. That is the icing on the cake! Yet truthfully, the real success
to me is that I did complete it. I wrote it. It is done and my soul
feels at peace until the next urge to write strikes. If you are still
wondering what it is that this Angel is guiding you towards, don't
feel the answers will never come! It has taken me 43 years to accept
that my true dharma in life for better or worse is my writing. I do it
because I cannot help but do it, no matter what! Even if no one ever
read these pages, even if no one ever wrote to me again and said that
the loved something I had written, I would still have to write because
I feel compelled to. It is an all encompassing passion! That is
Dharma. That is true Success. That is this Angel moving through me and
my life. What's your passion in life? What do you feel you must do no
matter how anyone else receives it? What would you do in your life if
you never had to worry about money or feel you had to "work to earn a
living"? Once you can answer these questions, then you will hold the
seeds of your own Dharma and true success in your hands. Now go plant
them and ask this Angel to watch over and nurture them. You will be
astounded at how Providence will move in your own life!
What to watch for with this Angel's presence:
You find yourself feeling compelled to pursue something you felt would
be difficult or even impossible to achieve. Yet you know within your
heart that you must move on what ever this may be and feel that
"something" is watching over you and supporting you along the way.
You begin to question if the success you already have in your life is
really all there is. You may feel that something vitally important is
missing from your life and you are ready to try and find what those
missing pieces may be.
You start to connect with people that have widely varying concepts of
what true success means to an individual. You find that the mass
concepts of success and the road to get there no longer hold any real
appeal for you or you finally accept that they never did. Instead you
wish to redefine success in your own terms and you find that there is
an abundance of support coming to you from the world as you move on
this.
You suddenly wake up one morning with an epiphany about what it is you
really want to do and be in your life. This is this Angel speaking to
you, so listen!
You begin to define success in spiritual terms. Does the success you
are seeking support your spiritual growth and awareness? Does it give
you time to explore your own inner worlds? Does it help you feel
plugged in and turned on to the Universal Flow?
You begin to sense that all the material success you could ever desire
will be provided for you as long as you pursue that which helps you to
feel successful and joyful at a soul level. Cultivate this feeling,
ask the Universe to prove to you right here and now that this is truth
for you!
You find it much easier to ignore other's opinions about what is true
and right for you and begin instead to listen to the still, small
voice within that knows your true life success and is guiding you
straight to it.
Opportunities to experience true success on every level start to
become available to you. You may not be able to see clearly at the
start how something may lead you straight into your true success, so
follow through on those things that you feel at a heart and soul level
are right for you to do!
Other ways to work with this Angel include asking for it to bring you
symbols of those things that mean true success to you at a soul level.
What starts to appear in your life? Is it recognition for something
that you love to do and do well yet never considered as possibly being
your Dharma? Do you suddenly find that your normal work load decreases
and you finally have more time to pursue activities that speak to your
heart? It may even be that a new relationship, or a child or even a
material object somehow inexplicably enters your life when you least
expected it. Rejoice in what ever does appear in your life through
this Angel's auspices and know that it is rightfully yours! Claim your
true success right now!
