Lion's Gate, Part III: The 888 Portal

"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." 

-Galatians 6:9

The 888 Lion's Gate Portal is open!  We will feel its effects for the rest of the month.

When it comes to our goals, we need to remember to focus on the very next step ahead.  Once completed, go onto the next, and so on.  This keeps us from getting overwhelmed during this highly emotionally charged period; where on one hand, we may feel like we can accomplish a lot, and on the other, we may also feel like we are on the verge of collapse.  Also, while taking action, we must also be mindful to relax yet remain alert.  This is that "flow" state that many high performing professionals attribute to their success.  Stress and worry will only slow us down, while giving us a false sense of power.

AMOR FATI

Thank you and good night.

P.S. Let's continue to focus on what matters in our minds.  It's simply mind over matter; what we don't mind, doesn't matter!

Lion's Gate, Part II: You Cannot be Sirius!

"Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one."

-Bruce Lee

We are now experiencing growing pains leading up to the zenith of the Lion's Gate on the 8th (8/8/2024: 2+0+2+4 = 8 for 888); an event that only happens every nine years!  With the New Moon in courageous Leo that passed on the 4th, the dichotomy of positive creativity and seemingly negative interactions has surfaced.  This is with the understanding that there is always immense chaos before prominent order.  Keep in mind too that this period is the hottest part of the year.  We may feel drained physically and emotionally during this time.  We could also simultaneously undergo a surge in innovation and the drive to succeed.  The most important thing to do, is to focus on the step in front of us towards our goals.  After that, focus on the next step, and so on.  Everything else that is not aligned with enriching our lives is a mere distraction.  This is our key to manifestation.  How else do we plan to get to where we need to go?

AMOR FATI

Thank you and good night. 

P.S. I didn't misspell "serious" in the title.  :-)

Lion's Gate, Part I: A Quarter Century Mark

 “Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different." 

― Oprah Winfrey

Today is the birthday anniversary of Truffie, our family's beloved German Shepard.  He would have been a quarter century old or 25 years young.  While I do miss him from time to time, it's this day that my heart feels that void the most.  I couldn't have asked for a better friend in this lifetime.

Still, I made sure I did my best to make this day both productive and fun.  Going to the gym after long daily deep work sessions has been crucial, not just for my physical health but for my mental health as well.  So today, after the gym, I thought to go and visit my favorite local pub, as a regular on Thursdays.  

It was an enjoyable time, with great food and company.  I had a blast having a conversation about the rock group Rush with a German couple.  I didn't "connect the dots" to my GSD until just now!  In other words, what had happened was a cool and unusual synchronicity.

With the Lion's Gate portal open [about to reach its peak on the 8th (8/8/2024: 2+0+2+4 = 8 for 888); an event that only happens every nine years!], it truly is a good time to socialize.  Of course, we are to balance that with solid work.  I've noticed when I get into that deliberate extreme of only deep work, my mind isn't as effective as when I find a way to decompress and even have fun.  

In fact, I admittedly made that mistake of working too late last night, and my results suffered.  Not only that, it somewhat carried over to the next day, where I had find a way to regain my energies.  Luckily, that came in the form of those outlets described previously.  We also have a New Moon in courageous Leo on the 4th, that will boost our confidence to boldly move forward with what we want to achieve. 

AMOR FATI 

Thank you and good night.

P.S. Don't be too surprised if people from our past suddenly appear, and may even reach out to us.  Remember, it is our choice who we want and who we don't want in our lives!

P.P.S. Truffie is spelled T-R-U-F-F-I-E (The last two letters stand for "in essence").
