Overcoming Indecision And Procrastination

Blessings and welcome to the path to freedom and this beautiful journey that we are on in forever allowing forever greater and grander expressions of who and what we are in forever setting ourselves free to begin ever expanding love and joy and peace and harmony and wholeness and beauty abundance creativity intelligence and in doing this we're also simultaneously setting ourselves free from the small and the limited the fears the worries the doubts the sense of not being enough the sense of not having enough the sense of lack scarcity separation gradually incrementally we're setting ourselves free my name is Daniel Roqueo and I'm very happy and I'm very grateful that you're choosing to tune in that you're choosing to join me on this beautiful path of setting ourselves free so that we may soar shine and glow beyond anything that we've ever imagined so that we may walk through life and move through life with ever increasing and ever expanding poise and confidence shining the light that we are in ways beyond anything that we've ever imagined in ways beyond anything that we've ever experienced in ways beyond anything that anyone has ever experienced before and this is what we're here to do this is our charge this is our calling this is our mandate so I'm happy and I'm grateful that you're choosing to say yes to this that you're choosing willingness to release and let go of the small the limited that which no longer serves so the topic for today is about indecision and how to transcend indecision and this topic has come about as I was recently asked to do a talk on indecision an individual that apparently is experiencing challenges around making choices and so they asked me to speak into that and I responded that of course I'll do a talk on it but I have never really contemplated the idea or the topic of indecision so it's going to be very interesting to hear what spirit has to say in us and through me and it truly is I'm very curious to see or to hear as I edit this and as I listen to it what will come through and I'm trusting that spirit as always comes through in a beautiful way so indecision the inability to make decisions the inability to make choices and in and of itself not making a choice is a choice and the way I see it the way I see is that the only thing that ever stands in between us and moving forward in allowing for these ever greater and grander expressions to emerge is fear underneath fear obviously is ignorance unawareness unconsciousness and fear obviously arises out of a perception that something bad will happen or that something bad is happening if we proceed along a particular path something bad is going to happen that's the ego's job to keep us from moving into unknown territory from uncharted territory and it projects fear projecting into the future to keep us from moving forward to keep us where we are so as always which is a continuously expanded realization that I'm having is that every single challenge every single issue that we have every single seeming quote-unquote problem that we have it arises out of a sense of not trusting so indecision the inability to make a choice as to how to move forward if we're faced with different options or different alternatives indecision arises out of the fear of either something bad happening or us missing out on something if I make this choice and move in this particular direction what if I miss out on what perhaps lies along the other path what if I make a mistake and we always want to come back to the three pillars of trust the first pillar being the spirit god the universe higher power energy life whatever we want to call it it is all there is meaning it is our very life it is our very being we're not ever separate from this omnipresent present loving presence benevolent loving presence and actually benevolence is the second pillar because this presence that is all there is that is the alpha the omega that is every single space and place and being an object moment that is fully and evenly present everywhere that is the all in all that is the one mind the one intelligence the one source the one life this loving presence it is benevolent it is always for itself this is the second pillar it is always for its own expansion god's deepest desire and highest intent is to forever come into greater and grander expressions in us and through all of creation as we are one with this loving presence a unique perfect whole complete expression of this loving presence so this loving presence it wants to express itself in greater ways in ever more expanding ways expansive ways in us and through you in us and through me which means that not only are we eternally guided and moved and led toward that next iteration that next version of who and what we are we're also beautifully and magnificently sourced fueled and funded so that we're not ever lacking anything we're not ever missing anything but we're always having all of our needs met so that we can continue to grow so that we can continue to unfold so that we continue to move forward and this is sort of the foundation for how to overcome indecision or the inability to make decisions so we have the first pillar the wholeness of spirit we have the second pillar the benevolence of spirit and then we have the third pillar which is that spirit god the universe is always expressing itself perfectly wherever we are whoever we are whenever we are is just perfect for us to be so that we may continue to be prepared and so that we can continue to be pruned and fine-tuned to allow for the next iteration of who and what we are to emerge so there's there are no mistakes in god there are no random acts in god there are no meaningless acts in this benevolent loving presence but everything has a purpose everything has a meaning to it and it is just perfect the design is perfect this benevolent loving presence it knows absolutely what needs to happen and how it needs to happen and when it needs to happen for the highest possibility for any possibility of us in our lives to come into being to come into form to realize itself right so now that we've laid the foundation from which we always want to move when we stand on this foundation we absolutely know that all is well we absolutely know that something wonderful is always happening we absolutely know that everything is working for our highest good and we absolutely know that perfect preparation and unfolding is always happening if we see it if we believe it if we feel it that is inconsequential it doesn't matter it's irrelevant because our ability to perceive what is happening our ability to see the full picture it is non-existent with our finite senses in this finite form that having a human incarnation is right so let us have a moment before we move deeper into the exploring how to overcome indecisions let us have a moment of resetting our minds of coming back to this feeling tone that all truly is well and where we make ourselves open and available to be guided which is what we'll be moving into in a brief moment but for right now we're invited to take a couple of deep breaths but before we take the first breath we're invited to put a smile on our face to inform our bodies to inform ourselves to inform our hearts to inform every aspect of our being that all truly is well so let's put a smile on our face and let's take that first deep and conscious breath breathing in another deep breath in can you feel the peace that arises that emerges from within as we reset the mind as we interrupt the incessant mental activity the mind is involved in from this space of peace and calm i invite you to repeat or say with me in affirming declaring decreeing that all is well that something wonderful is happening that everything is working for my highest good and that perfect preparation and unfolding is happening now always and forever so now that we've laid the foundation which is always trust we always want to come back to trust when there's trust there's peace when there is trust there is joy when there is trust there's harmony it is when we slip away from the trust that stress worry fear and doubt begin to well up from within us it is when we are hijacked by the minds or the egos incessant and futile attempts to try to figure out how to move forward so the remedy the way to transcend indecision is by not listening to the ego is by turning our attention away from the ego and turn it toward the still small voice call it intuition call it the still small voice call it whatever but that inner nudging that is beckoning us that is calling us that is pulling us forward and this still small voice it speaks in different ways for some it is audible for some it is like a feeling tone for some it is visual for some it's a sort of kinesthetic sensation for some it's just an inner knowing like that is how it is for me mostly i just know it i don't even know how i know and sometimes oftentimes i don't even know what it is i know i just know when to move when to stop when to make a right when to make a left when to speed up when to slow down and i'm oftentimes asked not oftentimes i'm sometimes asked if i ever make a mistake and honestly hand to heart no i don't absolutely things do not always turn out the way i expected them to or wanted them to or thought they should or would but making a mistake no for the number of years that i've been on this path i've never ever made a mistake in the sense that i ended up failing in the sense that i ended up having to retrace my steps and go back but every single time that i've tuned into that still small voice and it is it is a practice of mine and it has become habitual to the point where i'm not even aware of it and i'm gonna give two examples that are coming to mind and this is beautiful because i just yesterday had a beautiful conversation with a dear friend about just this about the importance of tuning into that still small voice and the immense benefits to be gained and gleaned from listening to it and i was sharing with this friend a number of years ago and i believe i've shared this before a number of years ago actually there are three examples many years ago i woke up it was an early summer morning i believe it was june or something like that and i woke up and i just knew from out of nowhere i just knew that i was to start a website to begin to offer my spiritual insights and realizations i had never run a website before i didn't even know how to start a website i knew nothing about the technology i didn't even know where to start but i just knew that i was this is what is mine to do and oh all right so we'll get to that later and so i did and it beautifully moved me into the space of teaching that laid the foundation for who and where i am today sure as heck that there were doubts and worries within me i mean as i don't even know how to start a website or have a website or even where to begin what is this i mean where's this coming from and second of all who am i to believe that i have anything to offer to the world those were obviously thoughts that the ego blasted into my consciousness but for whatever reason i gave them no heed i gave them no attention and i went ahead and started the website so it was beautiful and these are like major turning points in my life major turning points the next story i want to share it's from a few years ago and i was a part of a group of individuals teachers that were beta testing this new app and this app the idea with this app was to unite people in having live conversations around any topic and i was invited as a spiritual teacher to have conversations around spirituality meditation and prayer and how to find inner peace and the sacred laws that govern our universe and those kind of things and so i joined this this group of beta testers and eventually the app went live and i had one afternoon i was having i was doing a talk on meditation mindfulness and this one individual tuned in and had some questions about meditation and so we began to have this live conversation about meditation and it was a beautiful conversation and we signed off and the next day she sent me an email thanking me for the responses i had given and for the insights that she had gained from our conversation and there was something about her email address that caught my attention and i felt compelled to go visit her website i didn't know why and as i was browsing her website i was i was looking at it i remember asking the question why am i here because there was i mean it was a beautiful website but there was nothing in particular that caught my attention so i i remember asking why what am i doing here why did i feel that inspiration to go visit this website and just as i was about to leave the website i just caught at the corner of my eye at the bottom right of the page of the particular page i was on there was this tiny little box saying something like come meditate with me on this other particular app and this other particular app i had never heard of it i didn't even know it existed but that little invitation caught my eye and i felt inspired to go check that out which was absolutely beautiful and checking that app out and ultimately partnering with that app has brought so much good into my life in terms of how i am to be of service and also in terms of the way i move through life but hadn't it been for and this is the point that not the point but the sort of rule of thumb that i was getting to hadn't it been for me listening and obeying those are the key words listen and obey hadn't it been for me listening and obeying that still small voice calling me to go visit her website i wouldn't maybe i would have but my life would have turned out completely different because i would have kept moving in a particular direction but by partnering with this app my life took on a completely new direction and little did i know and little do i still know where this direction is gonna take me right the last example i want to give is from just a few days ago so at the end of last week i was i don't know what i was doing but i saw this ad from tony robbins i have nothing absolutely nothing against tony robbins but i'm not resonating with his teachings and his messages so i i have never followed him i've never signed up for anything with him i've never participated in any of his events but he was offering a three-day free event and for whatever reason i signed up for it and i i didn't even know again i remember asking why am i signing up for this i don't even like this man i mean i don't dislike him but as i said i i'm not resonating with his teachings but i did sign up for it and it turned out the event was like friday saturday sunday obviously news times which is in the evening for me here in europe and the first day of the event came and it went and i got all these emails reminding me to tune in to zoom in i just deleted them and then saturday came and the emails began to show up again it's only an hour left it's only 20 minutes left the event begins now tune in come join us all these different emails and i deleted these and in my family we usually have this friday and saturday routine that we we prepare our dinner and then we have it while watching a movie or something enjoyable together and obviously the event was during that dinner and i paid no attention to i mean i was enjoying the time with my family and then there was a moment when everyone left but me and so i was alone in the living room for about 10 minutes and once again i heard that still small voice just whispering tune in go check that live event out and so i retrieved one of the deleted emails and i clicked the link and there is tony robbins and he's speaking and he's speaking about being clear on what it is that we do or whatever and he invited into the hot seat a young man who had his own business and he asked this man he was like so what is it that you do and this young man began describing his business or first he began describing the background to him starting the business in the first place and then he went on describing what it is that describing articulating his offer kind of vague kind of a blurry answer and when he was done speaking tony goes wow that's beautiful that's so inspiring thank you so much for sharing that but to me it is very unclear what it is that you're offering and he went on to speak about how we need to be very clear long story short because this is not about the event that gave me a beautiful key those five or six minutes gave me a beautiful key to allow me to be even more clear on how i am to serve and what are the odds i mean the odds are beautiful as spirit this omniscient being absolutely knows what it is doing but like my mind afterwards were like oh my god what a coincidence i'm tuning in for five minutes maybe six or seven minutes and it just happened to be these five minutes obviously knowing god there was no mistake there was no happenstance there was no chance no luck this was divinely designed and orchestrated i was called because i listened and obeyed i tuned in at the exact right moment to get what i needed to get from that whole event right and this is this is how we transcend the inability to make decisions by first of all coming back to trusting that god never makes a mistake god never drops the ball wherever we are guided it is always us moving forward i'm reminded of how mr bob proctor used to always say that no one has ever failed until they stop trying so we're on this eternal journey where we're always moving forward granted we're not always moving forward along the paths that we perhaps thought we would and i remember in one of my courses i catch an analogy of standing on the shores of a huge lake and we want to get to the other side of that lake so we're standing on one side and we want to get to the other now there are infinite ways for us to get to the other side we can walk around the lake we can get into the boat that is right on the beach and we can take that boat and there are infinite ways for us to get across the lake to wherever we want to get there is not one path you know that whole expression opportunity knocks but once in a lifetime that's so far from the truth every step we take forward is a step as taking forward and we may be guided to a new space yes there will be new challenges but at least we're moving forward so we need to move forward and the way to move forward is to tune in to become still to listen to that still small voice and if we're not in the habit of listening we're very wise to begin to cultivate the habit of listening to that still small voice however it speaks to us inspiration a sense of being pulled towards something being compelled to do something joy i want to do this i don't want to do that i want to do this so that's one way that the intuition speaks to us but tuning in not questioning not second guessing what it is that we're catching but listen and obey to be very very obedient trusting that whatever comes whatever will be is just perfect for me and it will position me in a beautiful way to move forward to make a new decision or to continue to move along the same path these sacred laws they need us to be in motion for them to be able to guide and lead and move us if we are at a standstill if we're not moving if we are what's the word when we are incessantly postponing i remember it doesn't matter but unless we make a choice there is nothing for these sacred laws to work with and if we're not feeling that pull if we're not feeling that inner tug then we're wise to become still tune in lean into gratitude open ourselves up have a casual conversation a conscious connection with spirit saying help me god i'm i feel as though i'm lacking clarity i need some clarity use me move me guide me lead me forward until we feel that tug until we feel the inspiration we're wise to not move because we do not want to move out of fear we do not want to move out of worry we want to move in spite of fear we want to move in spite of worry but not out of not from when we're moving in spite of we're affirming the good that we wish to experience oh and that's one other aspect of all of this we need to be very clear this turns out to be very long talk covering a whole bunch of things which is beautiful we need to be very clear on what it is that we wish to experience if we're standing on the shore of that lake and we don't know where we want to go then going out on the lake getting into that boat and start rowing or going across the lake if we don't know where we want to go chances are that we'll just wind up anywhere but the moment we know what it is that we wish to experience the moment we know our visions our intentions for life in that moment we can make these informed decisions in that moment we can make the choices that are in alignment with the good that we wish to experience and being inspired that is god's way of moving us even when we cannot see the path forward when there is inspiration when there is that inner tug that inner knowing that inner pulling that is god's way of moving us in the direction that we need to go that we want to go to come into that ever greater and grander expression all right so i i could absolutely go on and on and on and on and on and talk about this i absolutely love this but i'm not so let us end with once again coming back to the breath putting a smile on our face taking a deep and conscious breath breathing in releasing now the deep breath in and now that we have reclaimed our minds now that we have reset our minds now that we have a level of stillness and silence within now is the time for us to ask for guidance god show me forward show me the way give me a sign lead me what do i feel inspired to do what do i want to do questions like these are beautiful in getting us in tune moving us in tune with that still small voice so the invitation for us today is to really be mindful of listening i'm really setting an intention to tune into that still small voice to cultivate the habit of listening to cultivate the habit of becoming still if we are not ever becoming still if we're always moving chances are we'll not be able to hear that still small voice because we are so busy moving so we need downtime we need time to be still to be silent so that god can move us forward beingness before doing this oh my god there's so much i want to talk about being this before doing all right and the questions we've already covered the questions so thank you so so much for tuning in for participating until we meet again as always as always as always i bless bless bless our days and i bless bless bless our ways in the absolute knowing and feel free to say this with me in the absolute knowing that all is well that something wonderful is happening that everything is working for our highest good and the perfect preparation and unfolding is always happening with much love many blessings
