Remember You

Guest post by Shiloh Sophia McCloud, for the Soul Paths series

Born This Way by Shiloh Sophia McCloud

Remember that no one can do what you do,
the way you do.
What you do is needed and wanted.
Remember that you have a unique purpose
that has always lived within you.
And that it will continue 
to call on you until you say YES!
Remember that saying YES
will call upon you to become more than you are.
And that this is part of the bliss of life,
to become the most YOU that you can.
Remember that the key

is to keep going no matter what.
And that you can start and stop
as many times as you need to.
Remember that unless you do this
you may always wonder “What If?”
And that to try to live a dream changes how we dream,
even if we don’t reach it.
Remember that living a dream, is the journey, is the process,
is the dream itself.
And that we are not waiting for a destination,
but living each moment truly.
Remember that it will sometimes seem
as if forces are against you.
It is just that to get up enough speed to break through,
we often encounter obstacles.
Remember that a true vision will have a combination of you, and “them.”
It is the “them” that you work with or serve, or both,
that will inform your process.
Remember that each step leads to another step.
So that is why we have to step up!
It is more important than we can even know,
how each flow flows into the next.
When we move forward in our vision
an energy flows towards us at that moment.
And it opens up the next action, the next door,
the next opportunity.
When we take a leap of faith,
new territory opens up that we did not see before.
And we have access to information that was not previously available.
When we risk believing in ourselves
we will be amazed at the support that comes.
And we will recognize that doing this work is what we were born to do.
When we remember that a life not lived
is not the life we want, then we choose.
And we choose powerfully not to turn back again.
We may fail. We may fall. We may even disgrace ourselves.
But what if we didn’t?
Remember to remember you
and what you are all about.
Go Forward Now!
And live the life you were born to live!
