What does My Future Hold?

Guest post by: Jennifer Longmore

Article Overview: If we spend the majority of our mental and emotional energy in the past looking for answers, for happier times, or for redemption, we will perpetuate that energy continuum into our future. Alternately, if we spend the majority of our energy in the future, we miss out on the divinity and clarity available to us in the present. Presence allows us to be aware of our life force, our beingness, our infinite potential, our vision, our divine mission and values, our unique gifts and talents and so on. In aligning with the energy of creation, we allow ourselves to fully embody our "creation" story which holds the unique frequencies of our soul, our purpose, our ancient wisdom and divine talents, our harmonic structure and our plan of divine evolution.

What does My Future Hold?

This is a question that most people have asked at least once in their lives, and is asked more frequently in light of these changing times. As we move through the New Earth paradigm shift, it is natural to sense a stronger need to know the future and given the various theories floating about regarding 2012 and beyond, many are left feeling a deeper sense of uncertainty about their future and the future of this planet!

The truth is that our future will always be a direct reflection of our current beliefs and thoughts!

If we spend the majority of our mental and emotional energy in the past looking for answers, for happier times, or for redemption, we will perpetuate that energy continuum into our future. Alternately, if we spend the majority of our energy in the future, we miss out on the divinity and clarity available to us in the present. It is common for some of us spend the majority of our energy focused in the past while others spend the majority of their energy in the future. Regardless of which direction we are consciously and subconsciously focusing our attention, we are most certainly not spending time in the present!

Presence allows us to be aware of our life force, our beingness, our infinite potential, our vision, our divine mission and values, our unique gifts and talents and so on. Presence allows us to expand our multidimensional channels of communication through all of our twelve energy bodies thus fully aligning to the love and light energies of the Creator and our infinite creative potential.

In aligning with the energy of creation, we allow ourselves to fully embody our "creation" story which holds the unique frequencies of our soul, our purpose, our ancient wisdom and divine talents, our harmonic structure and our plan of divine evolution. It also divinely connects us with our Oversoul, our soul family, and our "soul mates" thus providing us with the deepest sense of connection; connection to all that is and will ever be!

Hence, spending time outside of the present moment disconnects us on all levels, including: physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, sexually, socially, creatively, and financially. This disconnection often leaves us feeling isolated, alienated, and alone and leads to adopt an illusion of separation which forces the ego to go into self-preservation mode.

When we are in self-preservation mode, the ego (our mind) generates thoughts out of fear that usually begin with "what if....?" the more "what if" thinking we generate, the more anxiety we create. When we're feeling anxious, separate and fearful we often find ourselves looking to the future with the hope of happier times, thus generating questions like, "what does my future hold?" Yet, the more time we spend in the future, the more we expand the energies of fear and separation. The more that we expand these energies, the more fear and uncertainty we feel and the more we try to escape to the future with the false expectation that it will be the oasis that our present moment does not seem to be! This can leave us feeling like a hamster on a wheel; constantly spinning (our minds) but never getting anywhere!

So, when we ask, "what does my future hold?" we are really looking for our oasis. Our hearts know that our oasis is found through being fully connected in the present moment to the infinite energy of creation, yet our mind has misled us to believe that happiness, joy, abundance, connection, and balance are somewhere in the future.

The question, "what does my future hold?" is really a loaded question because there are so many questions and statements that lie beneath it. I invite you to explore what may be occurring for you when you find yourself looking to the future and what you may be looking for. Here are some examples of what you may really want to know when you ask this question:

Is everything going to be okay?

Am I going to be okay?

How can I create the life I deserve and wish to live?

What is my soul purpose?

How can I be at peace with myself and/or my situation?

How can I live a life free of fear and anxiety?

How can I create a sense of belonging and overcome loneliness?

How can I feel fully connected and alive?

How can I make peace with money and embrace abundance and prosperity?

How can I embrace opportunities rather than limitations?

How can I create hope?

As you can see, these are just some examples of what you may really wish to know. When asking the question, "what does my future hold?" we already know the answer. We know in our hearts that our future is a manifestation of our current beliefs. We know that our future will align itself to the energies and expectations that we attach to it.

If we see limitation in our future, that is what we will experience. If we see joy, peace, harmony, ease, abundance, and love in our future, then so it will be. So, it is important for us to know what we want our future to be so that we may begin answering this question ourselves.

A more exalted version of this question would be, "I want to create____________ in my life, what do I need to clear from and/or invite into my life in order to create this?" This makes us active participants in our journey! Asking “what does my future hold?” invokes a passive energy which reflects a lack of ownership over our lives. It implies a false assumption that our future is out of our control, when in fact, we are (and have always been) powerful co-creators. The more active we are in co-creating, the more our future will align to our vision.

When consulting with our guides for answers about our future, they can only guide us on the most joyous path versus the least joyous path; the path that we choose to walk is up to us! They may provide guidance about our future path, but it is their sacred contract and duty to honour the Universal Law of Free Will and love us through guidance rather than action. It is still up to us to put one foot before the other and walk our path; the Creator works with us, not for us!

When we align to the energy of presence we are tapped into the full and infinite power of creation. Imagine the limitless possibilities of what we may create in our lives? Moreover, this is a time of rapid acceleration of creative energy in the universe, so I invite you to be mindful that whatever intentions you send out through the power of creation will expand exponentially! What are your intentions for your future?

I also invite you conduct an interesting experiment with yourself. Perhaps, you may wish to experiment with replacing the question, "what does my future hold?" with, "what does my present moment hold?" This allows you to return to your divine state of innocence and wonder as you experience the essence of you. Being an observer of your life can yield very interesting insights and opportunities! Enjoy!

Re: How do you back up your computer? - Seems like backup has definitely hit a nerve. Evan, thanks for sharing your experience with the Backblaze service. Regarding the time it takes to backup: * The initial backup will take a little while (one to two weeks for most users) depending on your Internet upload connection and the amount of data you have. You can click the "How long will my first backup take?" link to find out the estimate for you. * Future backups will be very quick as Backblaze will only backup new files and the pieces of those that have changed. Thanks! Gleb
Patent Walk-Through - Hello everyone! My name is Alex, I'm 18 years old and I'm constantly drawing up new ideas and inventing stuff. I sketch stuff down everywhere I go and on anything I can write on. I'm a big member of our local Future Business Leaders of America chapter (FBLA). In the future I hope to work my way up to being a Venture Capitalist. I think of myself as a pretty creative person who is very motivated. Some of the ideas and inventions I come up with are pretty far out but others I consider marketable and to have great potential. Being 18, I have little to no connections and no resources. I've been surfing this site pretty frequently for the last year and have finally decided to join the forum group. Anyway, here's my question... Basically, I have no idea how to get a patent together the costs and the overall process. As of now, I think I have a great idea that, as far as I know has not, ever been done before. I'm really excited about this idea. I'm a total novice at this and am willing to learn all that I can. Any information that you can provide me with would be great. Again the main things I want to know are: 1.Overall Process. 2.How Long It Takes. 3.Costs. 4.Anything That You Think I Should Know. 5.Tips/Experiences. 6.Confidentiality. 7.Must I Make A Physical Model of My Idea? Thanks guys! -Alex
Re: your personality type? - Hi Zac, If you're on the fence about 2 and 3, I'd think more about them. Big picture people tend to be oblivious to the detail of what is happening NOW -- the colors on a restaurant wall, the layout of someone's apartment, the color of people's shirts at a party, etc. They instead notice the "theme" -- an upscale restaurant (who knows what color), casual shirts at a party (not sure what style), etc. A "trendy" apartment, but who knows where the bathroom was. Gut feeling people tend to act w/o all the facts, and are comfortable following that instinct. "Thinker" people will choose something even if they HATE it, just because it "makes sense." Where as that makes no sense to a gut person. Thinkers are more "black and white" where as gut instinct feelers are more "gray area" people. But going with your selections... 1. Within 2. Big Picture 3. Gut Feeling 4. Spontaneous The Reflective Seeker of Truth. You are a passionate searcher of big-picture meaning and strive to help others with your empathetic listening skills. Socially, you are usually quiet, but can be a social butterfly when you feel like it, though it can be draining to do so for too long. You have a very silly and goofy side, enjoy people and need time to quietly reflect #1 Strength: Predicting Future Likelihoods #2 Strength: Expressing Social Feeling Predicting Future Likelihoods Predicting what is likely to happen, based on past events, themes, or what has historically been true. Deciding what will happen, based on past events. These predictions are usually spoken with con?dence and certainty. A thread or common idea is drawn from the past, and these ideas are used to decide what will happen in the future. Authorities and past situations are extremely important for deciding what will happen in the future. Expressing Social Feeling Setting an emotional tone, vibrant, energetic, or serious, etc. Concerned with the emotional environment as it?s happening -- the vibe of people at a party, the tone of a situation, other people?s responses. Setting the tone -- dramatic and serious, or lighthearted and a celebration. Emotional displays are important for knowing how others are feeling, whether bad or good. Someone talking in a monotone about feelings seems insincere. Feels should be shown, so they can be read by others. If that is your type, your #1 match would be... The Strong-Willed Go-Getter. You are a bold sculptor of the here-and-now in order to achieve immediate results following a logical system for making decisions. You add a fun, upbeat vibe to social events and are often the most gregarious person in the room. #1 Strength: Commander of Physical Space #2 Strength: Systematic/Rule Logic
