I’m going to share something that I haven’t written about publicly, because many people will think it’s unbelievable. This is 100% true.
These experiences might help you to consider that other possibilities exist, even when circumstances in your life might be challenging or look hopeless.
At the time, I’d just moved to New York City from Washington, D.C. for a position in an aloe vera company. I hadn’t even unpacked.
I was preparing for my grand opening, which was attended by over 700 people in the Starlight Room at the Waldorf Astoria. While the company was international, it was ranked as a top 10 performer on the Inc. 500 list, a list of the fastest growing private companies in the U.S.
Although this management position was usually only given to couples, I was the only single female in the world that held this leadership role. Add to this, I was hired to open the Big Apple and New York State. Previously, I’d been a distributor for a couple of years.
In other words, this opening was a big deal for the company and me.
However, my mother couldn’t attend, and I couldn’t visit her (as I was getting over a cold, in addition to everything else). She was three hours away in the hospital.
My mother was scheduled to have her foot amputated because it had been black from diabetes for several weeks.
As soon as I could after a successful opening, I returned to my hometown and arranged for her to drink one quart of a high quality aloe vera gel daily for four days. That’s how many days we had before the surgery.
While she was in the hospital, we snuck in the drink for her without getting permission. She trusted me, and this was worth the chance. The only thing she had to lose was her foot!
On the morning the doctors prepared to amputate, they unwrapped her bandages.
They saw pink for the first time, which let them know there was circulation. They cancelled the surgery!
She had both feet when she was laid to rest years later,
The knowledgeable team of experts considered the amputation as an inevitable given.
For myself, though, having heard countless, powerful testimonials about how this aloe gel positively affected diabetes, I felt confident there was a good possibility we could turn it around. And we did.
You can use the limitation of so called “reality” as a springboard on your way to greater renewal. You know it’s there, but don’t let it block the creative force that’s speaking to you, guiding you, whispering other possibilities.
You don’t have to accept limitations, your own or those that others put on you. No matter who they are.
There might be alternatives to beliefs that even authority figures hold dearly.
You become the story you tell yourself.
You can change your habitual way of thinking. Change your story, what you tell yourself.
Once, I met a woman who was driving a golf cart to take friends and myself around an entertainment facility. The day was very hot, and it seemed that this work would interest someone a lot younger, not a woman her age.
I inquired how she got the job. Turned out that she was actually the manager of this fairly large business, and she was filling in for an employee who didn’t show up.
She told us that she’d been without a job for a while when she noticed an ad for help, and she called and left a message. To her surprise, she got a call back and quickly got the job.
After hearing her recount her story in detail, she said words that pierced me. Many years have passed, and I’ve neither forgotten them or the emphasis she gave them upon speaking:
“Your whole life can turn on a dime.”
When the business more than doubled in size, her job grew along with it.
In short, at her age and jobless, opportunities didn’t look promising.
Nevertheless, she took action in directions that many would have considered improbable. In the merry-go-round of life, with multiple iron rings within reach, she grabbed her brass ring that created an opening beyond her imagination.
Since then, especially when I didn’t see a way out of dire situations, I’ve leaned on her words, sometimes for days. It worked for her. Why not believe they might work for me? Given time, something would happen where my life suddenly turned on a dime.
Your inner Essence is guiding you even as you’re reading this. As long as you don’t put a ceiling on what’s possible, new solutions can reveal themselves to you.
Be willing to follow through on your inner nudges and new ideas that come to you. They may hold your life-turning dime.
Be open to renewal.
Allow yourself to resurrect possibilities where you thought there weren’t any.
When you change your story about yourself and what’s possible, miracles can happen.
You’re more likely to see them if you let go of your past burdens and see your bright present with fresh vision.
A new way of seeing things can move you forward more quickly with grace and ease, without going any faster. It’s like taking an express train instead of the local, which makes many stops and can be more exhausting because it takes a lot longer.
Both trains will get you to your destination. Which do you choose? Your answer will match the story you tell yourself about your life and what’s possible.
Don’t settle for what you’ve been told, even for what you’ve always believed is true.
Be willing to explore different ways of seeing and doing things.
Anticipate receiving miracles.
