A few days ago my horoscope said “…keep in mind that you’ll be happier if you can enjoy the rainbows without needing to find a pot of gold at the end of each one”. That statement was interesting to me because of the reading requests that have come in seemingly fast and furious about the pot of gold! 🙂 Now of course there’s nothing wrong with wanting that pot of gold BUT what happens when all your attention and focus is on winning the prize vs. living a miraculous life in the present?! When the future prize becomes more important than what’s going on in the here and now you could actually be missing an opportunity of a lifetime!
I want to be clear that what I’m talking about here has nothing to do with not having dreams, hopes or creating something new. It’s not about all the wonderful work you are doing spiritually. It is not about creating and manifesting all that you want for your life. What I’m referring to is when the pot of gold becomes THE ONLY THING and becomes so specific that you are not living the full spectrum of your rainbow life from the inside out! 🙂 Living life “in the body” in present time is an amazing experience! When you focus on ONE particular person place or thing and it consumes your thoughts, not only is your attention outside yourself but you are probably in effort. Not only that, you have consciously or unconsciously created a limit and what is called a perfect picture.
If your quest has become specific to a person, place or thing instead of the bigger picture and being open to what comes in you may find yourself a bit unhappy. It’s easy to figure out because very simply…it doesn’t feel good! You are attached to something, someone or a specific future outcome and not the present time experience. Life is a process and when you allow that process to happen you can live the rainbows every day! If the pot of gold becomes a perfect picture, and you will only accept that as your reality, you are limiting your life experience. Would you give up a date with an amazing person because you are waiting for George Clooney or Jennifer Aniston to call? Would you give up $50,000 because you are waiting for 1 million? OK those are a stretch but I’m betting you can think of something in your life that you’ve made a perfect list of what it is, what it should look like or what needs to happen before something else can happen!
The universe works in very mysterious ways and when you have a full spectrum of experiences, like the colors or the rainbow you may decide to change what your pot of gold looks like! So while it is true that an experience might not lead to the pot of gold, it is growth and will certainly allow you the freedom to re-create what that pot of gold IS and what it means for you! 🙂 Check in with yourself and see if you have inadvertently placed any limits on yourself. If you are in a place where you are feeling frustrated that you are not getting EXACTLY what you want and you dismiss other possibilities, it’s a sign you’ve created a perfect picture! You have the freedom and choice to change and heal…if you choose to.
There is a rainbow of light that lies in the very core of your being! Tune in to it! Tune in to YOU! Turn on from within! Tuning in to your very unique vibration is like turning on a light switch! Perhaps the particular pot of gold you seek is already there just waiting to have a light shine on it! Once you tune in the healing begins! Clearing limits and perfect pictures allows you to live all the colors of the rainbow and the world is your oyster! When you are in TUNE, grounded and in the flow of your own energy you live from your truth and can create or re-create your reality! You open yourself up to limitless possibilities and with limitless possibilities, there is choice and freedom! So what colors of the rainbow do you want to experience? Shine your Light~Debbie Taitel

Hi Debbie,
I really found value in your post. I’m enjoying my day immensely, silent and peaceful with only the birds’ singing in the garden for company. I’m putting my Vision Board together for my 2010 goal :
Tuscany ~ walkabout / working holiday / live (my circumstances are about to do a 180 so the possibilities are endless). Your post has opened up my heart and mind. Whilst I’m confident in my chosen path, I’m now more aware of the importance of enjoying the scenery along the way and availing myself of the opportunities that present themselves on the journey. I’m about to add a picture of a rainbow to my board to remind me that it’s the rainbow that I really want – the full spectrum of possibility and experience… thank you Debbie, with love, Alice x
What a lovely comment Alice, thank you! I’m so glad you found value in the post:) I’m delighted you are adding a rainbow to your vision board as a reminder…never thought of that myself! Much love & light to you! Debbie
Very Nice. Thanks for sharing. We will check each and every day!
Keep up the good work, posting vital information is necessary. Light and Love!
Thank you Elliott!:-) Light & love to you as well!
