I was originally struck by the concept of “Out of the Blue” a few years ago while reading a brief passage from one of my favorite authors, Marianne Williamson.
Now, it’s a little heavy. So, stay with me. I will simplify it in the following paragraphs.
“The miracle of illumination does not come from rational evidence; it comes literally from ‘out of the blue,’ a consummate visual symbol for the realms of pure potentiality. The potential for infinite breakthrough emerges when our proactive embrace of the light is even greater than our fear of the dark.”
Whew! I originally read that paragraph three times and each time “Out of the Blue” hit me hard. But I had to make the words my own. I had to personalize Marianne’s powerful thoughts. So here is what I wrote in my journal after I posted her paragraph:
“The miracle of my illumination, my willingness to light my world and see things differently, does not come from the way things are or have always been in my life; it comes effortlessly ‘out of the blue,’ and into my life as I purposefully and courageously shine light on my unlimited potentiality.
“My potential for infinite breakthrough becomes my reality when I proactively turn to my light and away from my fear. When I simply turn from fear to light – anything is possible and can show up in my life ‘out of the blue.’”
POWERFUL, right?
I think each one of us would love to experience our own Miracle of Illumination that effortlessly turns our fears into insight, hope and confidence.
With regard to your Direct Selling business, I’d say the most empowering kind of illumination – or breakthrough of the light – is being able to see the potential for the highest and best in the circumstances of your business, and see it so clearly and brightly in the center of your attention that fear recedes to the edges and eventually drops out of the picture entirely.
It may be hard to believe, but the less fear you have running through your mind, sapping your energy and attention, the more energy you have to move into your unlimited potential.
When you simply turn from fear to light, anything is possible and can show up in your life “out of the blue.” We’ll keep exploring this idea as the world re-opens and new opportunities start to appear for you.
