T.O.T. #2: Sometimes "That One Thing" has an irresistible draw, but once you move in its direction, opposing forces show up. Fueled by inspiration, you jumped on board with the OBVIOUS next "One Thing" only to find you have a crew of conscientious objectors in your back pack!  They're all so dang eager to tell you why that one thing isn't "necessary, affordable or wise."

 I used to instantly fall for this hoopla--ruminating how I could get out of my decision or if I couldn't, berating myself for my choice. Somewhere along the line, I realized something: all my best decisions were made this way--not from the mind, but from the heart-shaped gut. Often the irresistible draw of something life-shifting doesn't pass the "sense and sensibility" test the next day. That's why we needed its magnetism to choose it!

T.O.T. #3 - Sometimes "That One Thing" is a challenge in itself. So much so that you find yourself asking, "If I'm supposed to be doing this, why is it so much work?" This was my feeling many years ago when a friend urged me to make an appointment with the astrologer she'd just seen. Her experience was compelling and my curiosity thermometer was hot, hot, hot! But one attempt after another to reach the astrologer and schedule an appointment failed. Was I supposed to conclude that this experience just wasn't for me or continue my Dial-a-thon? I really didn't know. I mentioned it to a friend who suggested that some of the most important steps we take require persisting past the initial veil of fear. After 15 years of making my living as an astrologer, I'd have to agree with her. My work with the planets has been one of the brightest "One Things" in my historical sky.

What "One Thing" is calling you today? Has been calling you for awhile? Is waiting for your response? Is just on the other side of your resistance? Move toward it and see what happens.
