For about seven years, I wrote a blog everyday. I stored them all at https://consciousnessondemand.blogspot.com/?q=gratitude+is+a+feeling

During that period, every day, I would get up and ask myself, “What do I need to know?” Then, I’d place my fingers on the keys and type. What came out was exactly what I needed to hear that day. I wrote as if no one would ever read it. There were mistakes and typos, but I didn’t care. I corrected them to the best of my ability and then simply pressed “publish.”

Why am I thinking about this now? Because I’m feeling a sense of waiting—a sense of needing everything to be perfect before I make my next move. But that’s not how the Universe unfolds. It responds only to feeling and action.

What do I need to know today? I need to know that it’s all right to move forward as if I have all the support in the Universe—because I do. I can start that project and complete it. I can sing that song, even if it doesn’t feel perfect. I can give my tithe, even when I feel tempted to hold onto my money. The Universe responds to action.

Do you see what can happen when you ask, “What do I need to know today?” The Universe will answer—just as it did for me, just now. I never would have known if I hadn’t asked the question. I never would have known if I hadn’t listened for the answer. Not the answer I wanted, but the one that comes from the unlimited field of possibility. It doesn’t always make logical sense, but you know when it’s right.

So, what do you need to know today? What’s happening in your world, your life?

Ask—and you will receive.

Love and Aloha,
