September 2010   * Daily Affirmation *

The Fool Card

Today my true potential can be realized. All I have to do is take a risk and know that my Faith is in operation. My future is very bright and offers me a promise of things to come. Today is a day of destiny. I have chosen this day to determine a DESTINY PROMISE I MADE TO MYSELF BEFORE I CAME INTO THIS LIFE. All that is required of me is to move out of my comfort zone and take a risk. I am aware that Faith cannot be determined without risk, and I will take the risk to move into the next space of creation in my life. I release fear and move into faith, knowing full well that my logic and reason are part of the fear that keeps me stuck. I am reminded that the kingdom of heaven is open to the child. I find the child within me today, to embrace what life has for me with open arms and a spirit of adventure. I know my true potential lives inside my magical child and she/he is willing to play and go for the gusto. I am here in this life to fulfill my promise to experience life to the fullest and release the fear of judgment that has hounded me and kept me from playing full out. I remember that when I experience, I gather a knowledge base within my soul and keep my agreement with myself and the Universe. I connect to my super-consciousness and take on the bigger view of my life and all that it has to offer me when I risk reason and take a leap of faith. I know in the depth of my awareness that, if I jump off the diving board, there will be water in the pool. I am willing to risk reason for an experience. Everything I ever wanted is one step outside my comfort zone. I go for the GUSTO today! I release my fear and turn it into faith. I trust in the promise of things to come. I know my potential is realized; all I have to do is say, "YES" to LIFE!

The FOOL Card:

Oh, the joy of having the FOOL as the card for the month of September! The FOOL asks us to take all things lightly and to not make a big deal out of the little things that might upset us on a daily basis. The attitude here is one of open abandon, a carefree spirit that enjoys life's journey - even with the bumps. It is the card of having the ability to see the cosmic joke in all of life. When we take things too seriously, we lose our perspective and become narrow-focused and rigid. It is not the card of the "bliss ninny" or "Pollyanna" - an attitude of blind optimism. Rather, it is the card that says, "When you no longer take anything or yourself too seriously, then you are not a fool." Additionally, the FOOL asks us to be willing to take chances and step outside the box from time to time. It is a reminder of the old adage, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Step lightly and happily and move forward with a joyful heart. The universe is always there to support you.
