What is presenting itself to you today?

Jun 2nd, 2011No Comments

One of the most powerful intentions or prayers to start your day is, “Help me see what is presenting itself to me today.” Everything you want will present itself to you- if you serious about having it. It may, however, be in a form that you do not recognize at first.

The first step is to ask for what you really want. I call this intention. Envisioning or creating a picture around it is inevitable and essential. It gives us motivation to walk toward it.

However, we need to be open to possibilities presenting themselves to us in a different form than we pictured it. Sometimes we have to see beyond the picture in order to recognize the possibility. This requires us to be open-minded. And a willingness to risk and explore- even if the thing presenting itself is a little off.

You might hear yourself saying, “That is so cool, too bad it is not what I am looking for.” Or, “That would be great for my friend- but would not work for me.” Or “I trust him, but his business seems really different.” This may be part of you recognizing the possibility- but it not matching the way you pictured it. It is essential to explore things like this. It may be a possibility presenting itself to you.

So go to the party you were invited to- even though you only know one person. Check out the business meeting you were invited to. Listen to the job offer in a different field of work. Go out with the type of guy that you would not normally go out with. Say, “Why not; what have I got to lose?”

It just me be the thing you want presenting itself to you- and you just do not recognize it yet.

About author:

Michael Hoffman’s passion is guiding people to connect with their natural gifts. He believes that we all have innate gifts that hugely benefit others and the world when we offer them. The purest example of these gifts is the Native American concept of medicine or the gift you offer your people. Michael defines your medicine or gift as the natural effect you have on other people when your heart is open. Unfortunately, the demands of our current culture to comply and fit in often distract people away from their inherent gifts and the natural expression of their being. Michael believes many of us have forgotten our dreams and what we are about. This sadly results in a loss of purpose, passion, and vitality. As an innate gift specialist, Michael offers retreats, classes, and individual sessions to allow people to reclaim their natural gifts. These venues allow people to identify, awaken, and offer their gifts. This experiential work incorporates Zen thought, Native American ceremony, rites-of-passage, and releasing limiting belief systems. Michael also maintains his meta blog to provide knowledge, skills, and awareness for unfolding your natural gifts. He is currently compiling this knowledge and research into a college class and book. Michael earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 1987 and Master of Social Work in 1996. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to his formal education, Michael studied and apprenticed with a Zen Master and spiritual teacher for 22 years to learn how to guide people to understand themselves. He has worked with people professionally since 1986 as a psychotherapist and teacher. Michael currently resides in Oceanside, California.
