Feeling scattered lately?

Can't seem to finish what you start?

Seduced by "shiny object syndrome" more often than not?

Being creative is a powerful gift, that comes with an infinite amount of inspiration and innovation.

The downside, however, is that we creative types end up with an abundance of half-done tasks, and not enough closure.

Watch this week's 7-minute Love Letter to learn what's more important: starting or finishing.

"I have a million ideas!"

This week Source wants to talk to you about starting versus finishing -- which one is more important in life, at least right now.

Then the energy, the message that I'm getting from the guides for you is:

Finishing is actually more important than getting started right now.

Let's explain and let's explore this for a little bit.

Chances are, if you've pressed play on this or are reading this article, you are a highly creative, intuitive and sensitive person.

Perhaps you bring that creativity and intuitive nature to your relationships or perhaps you even bring it to your business.

Either way, you're pretty good at getting inspired, feeling emotion, and really having things lift you up. You're comfortable following the energy, following intuitive guidance. 

Even if you don't follow it 100% of the time per se just yet, you do hear it; you hear that still, small voice that comes from down from above you or whispers in the back of your mind, wherever yours is, but it's quiet, and always tells you to do something really important.

It tells you to something important that you know that you should do, but then there's louder voices or louder impulses that say: "Hey, shiny object! Oh my God, look at this new initiative, new class, new certification. Look at this shiny new pretty purse, let me go talk to them instead!" 

Because we're creative and sensitive, sensual beings, that louder voice of impulse often gets the best of us.

But I've been told to tell you that this week in particular you have got to focus on finishing. It's not about getting started, it's about getting finished.

You are already working on 10 billion different things right now that are really wonderful ideas that you came up with before, or projects that you've started before, or relationships that you've began before. Right?

There's so many things that you've started momentum on and haven't finished.

With all due love and respect, I have to be the one to tell you: you've got to be a finisher.

High on the upstart, great with ideas, or when we come to meetings and masterminds you're the one that's, "Oh, we got a million ideas." But when it comes to implementation...crickets.

I feel you, I feel you on that.

This is also an entrepreneurial predicament. The issue here is the entrepreneur's wonderful journey of shiny object syndrome.

Know this: Let this be your mantra this week: "It's not about starting, it's about finishing."

Know this:Let this be your mantra this week: "It's not about starting, it's about finishing."

When we say that to you, finish what you've started already, what comes to mind?

What's coming up for you emotionally when you think about finishing?

This is a really powerful topic.

I'm hearing the Oracle cards coming forward in the energy.

I'm using Doreen Virtue's oracle cards deck "Angel Answers". Bright, rainbow, awesome. (It's as if they were designed by Lisa Frank except it's Radleigh Valentine and Doreen Virtue!)

Asking: Angels, what do we need to know right now about starting versus finishing? Do we really need to finish what we've started? What's going on?

This is a good one! Ask Your Angels. 

 

 

This weeks #oracle card is "Ask Your Angels" - in order for you to #achieve that next level or goal, you'll need to actively ask for #help this week. Watch the full readings on #YouTube at https://youtu.be/ELTktreJYYQ ???????? #empath #angels #doreenvirtue #spiritual #health #faith

They're telling me to actually read to you what's written here:

"Your angels are always with you. However, you must ask for their assistance in order for them to provide you with the help that you're seeking because heaven respects your free will choices. State your questions to your angels clearly. You can do so either out loud or silently in your own mind.

Your angels will instantly help you according to God's will. Your angels may also have special messages for you about the situation you're asking about. Sit quietly in a peaceful place, indoors or out in nature, and ask for advice and guidance. Notice what messages come to you. It's possible the answers will come to you through your feelings, hearing or sight or perhaps you will just know the answer. You can also ask the angels for signs during the day to guide you onto the right path."

Here's where we're going to end.

In the energy, they're saying that at this point in time, in order for you to finish, you must honor the fact that you're going to have to ask for help.

Quit white knuckling! (I see white knuckles!)

Let it go. Let it go and offer it up for help. Open it up for receiving help.

Start by asking spiritually as a preparation for asking the energy.

Focus on finishing this week.

The post Love Letters | Starting vs. Finishing appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Have you lost track of how many certifications and degrees you've gotten, yet still feel like it's not enough for what you want to do?

Constantly reading more books and articles on personal development and happiness, and feeling frustrated that you still feel like you're always starting at square one?

Wondering when you'll be prepared or qualified enough to finally go for your dream?

In school and in the media they tell us that "knowledge is power." But it seems like the more we learn, the less we know, and the more inadequate we feel.

If that's how it works, then how can we get to feel powerful and adequate?

Watch the above video to explore why knowledge by itself is NOT power!

"Congrats grad! Now on to the next thing..."

In grade school we would have rites of passage ceremonies to commemorate certain levels of learning.

Having these graduations helps to anchor the feeling of self-worth and achievement in our energy, so we know we are worthy of taking our next steps.

The power in the ritual of graduation ceremonies is not just the celebration, but the sense of closure they bring.

Otherwise, we feel like we are not enough.

How do you know you've had enough middle school? Eighth grade graduation. How do you know you've had enough high school? High school graduation. How do you know you've had enough college? Again, college graduation.

But what happens after you've gotten your doctorate and still are looking for what's next? Or what happens when you stop getting recognized for all you've learned--like at work during the rest of your adult life?

Here's the thing: externally derived closure will never really satisfy you.

The desire  for more--to know more, achieve more, experience more, have more, etc.--is insatiable.

Now, in terms of your education this is all well and good--to have a healthy curiosity and thirst for knowledge--at first, but if we start using the search for knowledge as an excuse to put off taking action, that's where it gets problematic.

Maybe this post isn't for you. Maybe you're already clear on what you want  to do with your life, how you'll do it, and when you'll start.

However, if you feel like you're going to classes and getting degrees and certifications and don't still know why, or are still wondering when you're going to finally find and live your purpose, then keep reading.

The insatiable pursuit of more--specifically around information and knowledge--can turn from healthy curiosity to unhealthy addiction.

It's an addiction to consumption and preparation, because we are avoiding the big brown elephant in the room:

You have to take action.

And here's exactly where knowledge alone is not power.

That phrase is misleading. Sure, we all want to empower ourselves and "know" how to make our lives better.

But knowing alone isn't enough--to really see your life shift for the better, you have to actually apply the knowledge you've got.

Think of it this way: imagine that a storm is coming and you know it will knock out everyone's electricity for at least a week, if not several weeks.

So, to prepare for the storm, you start stockpiling candles, flashlights and lanterns. As many as you can grab. And it makes you feel safe and like you are doing good while you buy them.

The storm comes. The lights go out. And then you realize that in the rush, you forget to buy lighters and batteries.

And here you are, with hundreds of candles and flashlights, but no way to turn any of them on--surrounded by potential for so much light, but no way to actually use any of it.

You see that? You could have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don't take action, or "turn it on" so-to-speak, you're just hoarding potential energy.

Know this: Knowledge alone is not power; it's potential energy. Be the catalyst and take action! #success #selfhelp

Spirit this week is saying that you've been avoiding taking action on something you've been studying and preparing for over the years.

Perhaps it's a move, starting a business, teaching a class or giving a lecture, etc.

There's something in your heart that you keep telling yourself "I'm not good enough yet" just because you may not have a PhD or 30 years experience. Believe it or not, telling yourself that negative story is protecting you from changing your life.

Learning more and more is fun indeed, but it can turn into a delay tactic that enables you to avoid taking action on realizing your dreams and goals.

Why do we do this? Because we're searching for permission to graduate.

You can give yourself permission now and become the Catalyst for all that potential energy you've stored up. Now's the time!

Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which shows how we hide from taking action and what to do about it!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.
