It's a lot of work pursuing our goals, isn't it?  Manifesting our dreams.  Water it now; cover it later; feed and nurture and think this way and move that way and…  I'm tired!

Sometimes, just contemplating the energy output required to achieve happiness can feel overwhelming and exhausting!  And we wonder, is it all worth it?  Do I really want to finish this journey?  Do I really want to reach the shore?  What am I really going to have to show for all of my work?  Wouldn't it be easier to just let go, sit down right here and go no further? 


The answer is no.  It really wouldn't be easier to stop now.  Really, it wouldn't.  We have the forward momentum, we have all those skills we've been practicing.  We have the shore in sight!  So really, stopping would be soul shattering.  It might feel good for a moment, but then would start the recriminations and the regrets.

No to regrets.

No to all the fears.

No to the doubts trying to steal energy from the dream.  

Making dreams come alive is work, yes, but it's fun, fueling, passionate work.  If we're tired, we take a break, and then we're itching to get up and get going again.    We feed our dreams, which feed us, so we can feed the dreams that feed us…  It's a big happy, rejuvenating circle.

And for anything that doesn't fit in that circle, "Just say no!"  A doubt comes up, squash it.  A thought of failure?  Release it.  Fears have no place in our dreams.  We don't need to fight them, beat them, conquer them or overcome them.   They have no power at all.  They do not exist.

The rune for June is Naihwaz R off the mat.  Way off the mat.   We let the happiness of our manifestation feed us.   There is NO room for anything else.

I hope you have a great month!
