The Next Thing To Do by Dyan Garris
The Next Single Thing to Do
We are here to learn lessons in love no matter how things appear. Sometimes we have unpleasant experiences. When these things happen we must ask ourselves what this teaches us? What does it mean? What is the bigger picture? Where are we triggered? And why? The answers to these questions help you get directly to the root. And they also help you move forward. Any time you can get the bigger picture, you have opportunity to move forward.
The third thing to do to move forward now also seems very simple. It is. It’s to ask “What is the next single thing to do?” Isn’t that easy? Yes, indeed. To ask such keeps us in the present moment. And that’s where we are able to move forward. You can’t move forward while you are clinging to the past.
The next single thing to do is not what YOU want. It’s opening and allowing divine guidance to show you the way. Asking this question is very powerful and opens many doors that were previously closed.
So why is this so hard? Because the ego will tell you that you must do such and such. Remember that the ego is operating from the framework of the learned perceptions and the foundation of a set of experiences. So to ask “What is the next single thing to do?” involves getting out of what you “think” you should do and involves letting go of what you want long enough for that higher guidance to come in. Then, of course, you must be absolutely willing to do that next single thing, no matter how hard you perceive it to be. The human spirit is surprisingly resilient.
Often the next single thing to do is to let go of attachment to outcome and be willing to go on the journey, no matter where it takes you, knowing that all things work to the highest good.
