  | | Shifting into Gratitude |
We all know what it's like to finally get something we want, only to find ourselves feeling as if we don't deserve it. Whether it's a car, a new job, or a date with someone wonderful, we suddenly feel as if we are not up to it. Something in us wants to reject this gift from the universe, perhaps because it requires that we think of ourselves in a new way or makes us question why we should have something that others don't have. If these feelings of unworthiness are not consciously acknowledged, they can lead us to sabotage ourselves out of the gift being offered. Perhaps the best way to avoid rejection and sabotage is to simply shift into a state of gratitude, bypassing the question of worthiness altogether.
The question of whether we or anyone else deserves something is not really in our jurisdiction. These themes play themselves out in ways we can't fully comprehend--on the level of the soul, over the course of many lifetimes. What we do know is that the universe has its own way of shifting the balance over the course of time so that all things are ultimately fair. We can trust in this process and understand that when a gift comes our way, it is because we are meant to have it. Otherwise, it would not be available to us. Accepting the gift with gratitude and using it to the best of our ability is true humility.
When we receive a gift and find that feelings of unworthiness crop up, we can simply acknowledge the feelings and then remind ourselves that they are beside the point. We might say to ourselves, "I am meant to have this." As we allow ourselves to accept the gift, we might feel tenderness in our hearts that naturally shifts into a deep feeling of gratitude. As we sit for a moment, consciously holding the gift in our hands or in our hearts, we say "yes" to the universe's many blessings, and we also say "thank you." |

 | | Firm And Forthright | Cancer Horoscope December 29, 2020 Your passion for your path can cause you to react forcefully today when others stand in the way of your purpose. However, while you may feel that those in a position to fulfill your needs are actively resisting you, it may simply be the case that they do not understand the importance of what you aim to accomplish. While coming on strong will likely get you nowhere, you may be surprised to realize that others are quick to grant your requests when they are cognizant of your reasons for approaching them. Should you find yourself facing opposition today, try dialing back your intensity and posing your demands in a respectful manner.
It is possible to be firm without resorting to forcefulness in situations where we are endeavoring to see that our needs are met against the wishes of those who do not immediately perceive the importance of our requests to our continuing well-being. Conveying the vital nature of our requests is not a matter of asserting ourselves through tone of voice or body language but one of thoughtfully articulating the nature of our need, conversationally and respectfully. Others will generally be more willing to do what we ask of them when they understand why we are making requests of them. Our openness and sincerity become significant elements of our quest to attain what we want through peaceful and considerate means. Your assertiveness will come through in your determinedness today when you are fluent in your explanation of your individual needs. |

 | | Acknowledging Your Growth |
Evolution of your soul is a natural fact of life and becomes a potent motivational force when celebrated. /i>
Since personal evolution is most often a slow and gradual process, it can be difficult to recognize the scope of the changes taking place in our lives. Yet it is important that we regularly acknowledge our ongoing growth and reward ourselves for the many wonderful feats of self-improvement we have accomplished. When we intentionally contemplate our progress, we need never feel that we are languishing between past achievements and the realization of future goals. If we look closely at our lives, we may see that much of what brings us pleasure in the present is representative of the ambitions of our past that we worked so hard to attain. At one time, the abundance we enjoy currently likely seemed like a far-off dream. Now it is simply reality -- a reality we created through our diligence, passion, and unflagging determination. Whether our progress is fast or slow, we deserve to congratulate ourselves for our successes.
To remind yourself of the insights you have gained with time, temporarily adopt an outsider's perspective and carefully consider how your life in the present differs from the range of experiences you lived through in the past. Creating a written list, in a journal or otherwise, of those strengths, aptitudes, and inner qualities you now attribute to yourself can help you accept that you are not the same person you were one year ago, five years ago, or 10 years ago. Your attitudes, opinions, and values were likely markedly different, and these differences can be ascribed to your willingness to accept that you still have much to learn. If you have difficulty giving yourself credit for these changes, think about the goals you realized, the lives you touched, the wisdom you acquired, and the level of enlightenment you attained over the past years.
Recognizing growth is neither boastful nor immodest. Evolution is a natural fact of life and becomes a potent motivational force when celebrated. Knowing that you are brighter, stronger, and more grounded than you once were, you can look forward to the changes to come. In acknowledging your growth, you build a sturdy foundation upon which you can continue to blossom well into the future. |

| | Vision Quest | Cancer Horoscope December 28, 2020 You may feel dreamy or imaginative and want to mentally travel to faraway places today. Perhaps you are seeking more excitement in your life or are in a relaxed mood and simply want to enjoy a few minutes to daydream. Creative visualization can be a powerful tool, whether you are trying to improve your circumstances or escape your daily routine. Simply close your eyes and envision the scene you wish to see today. An important aspect of visualization isn't only what you see but how you feel. If you can allow yourself to feel the way you would if your vision were happening on a physical level, your experience will feel real.
We can use the power of creative visualization to manifest beneficial circumstances and improve any aspect of our lives. Our imaginations are very powerful and are capable of creating nearly anything we want on the physical plane. While manifestation is a gradual process, visioning what we want to create is the first step. When we imagine what we want, we feed energy to our dreams and goals. If we can allow ourselves to feel what it would be like to already have what we want, the next step becomes bringing our physical reality in alignment with our inner world. The world is our mirror and will reflect whatever it is we are holding within. You can create nearly anything you desire today by simply tapping into the power of your imagination. |
