Elephants in an Approaching Storm

Elephants are so powerful and magnificent.
They have tremendous hearts and compassion.
Elephants symbolize strength, wisdom and prosperity.

In this picture, although a storm is approaching, the elephants take life step by step,
always moving forward toward their destination or goal.
They do not let the fear or concern of the approaching storm affect them and their actions.
They are a family and stay together, helping one another.

Life gives you lessons for your greatest growth and development every moment.
It is all around you…..opportunities for your success are all around you.
You have to be open, aware and ready for it.
You have to want it.

In today’s world, so many people want success instantaneously.
They want things right now without being willing to follow natural laws or proper principles.
Many want the rewards without being willing to do the work.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well and it requires time….. one step at a time.

No great achievement was built overnight or instantaneously.
All success requires a proper foundation which can sustain the effort or creation of a powerful structure.
There is an expression that it takes a village to raise a child.
Similarly, it takes a great deal of time, effort and dedication to create success.

Becoming a true success requires being a successful person.
Developing qualities of honesty, integrity, service, compassion, kindness, leadership and sincerity are important. Humility, acceptance, acknowledgement, discernment and appropriateness go a long way.
As does doing the right thing for its own sake and being an example when no one is watching.

Success must also be measured properly, as it is not just a function of money.
Health (spiritual, mental, emotional & physical), joy, quality relationships, time in nature, perfect self-expression are all fundamental components of true success along with financial wealth.

Give yourself the opportunity to actualize your full, creative potential……your divine design.
Look at what your most wonderful and magnificent life would be and create your game plan for success.
Write out all of the details of what you want your life to be.  Live your dream one step at a time.
You are here to do great things and most often that means taking many small steps in a positive direction.

One year ago a good friend, Laurie Sue Brockway asked me to write a blog for daily inspiration for BeliefNet.com. Laurie Sue is a gift and has always believed in me and encouraged me to fly.
My first blog was on the solstice, June 21, 2010.  I was thankful for the opportunity to help others.

Thanks to you, thousands of people read my inspirations and messages every month at BeliefNet.
I want to thank everyone for this wonderful opportunity to share, create and touch people’s lives.

What matters most is the love, care, encouragement and acknowledgement that we give.
 
May you manifest the divine plan of your life, under grace and in perfect ways.

prosperously yours,
🙂 Lee
