Monday 28th April 2003 Inspired Writing Through Susan Summers
There are those who think that we should only act when we are fully awake to spirits influence.
However, how can we learn if we have to wait until we have perfected the act of mediumship.
Part of our apprenticeship is the learning through our mistakes. If we are not allowed to try out our
new skills how are we to grow and improve them for greater skills.
Nobody is perfect at what they do, some appear to be better at it than others but that is just a matter
of perception of the individual. You can only do the best that you are able at any given time, always
looking for ways to improve your mediumship through experience, using what skills you have knowing that
practice brings a greater awareness of our short comings and an understanding that we continue to learn
whilst we work.
Never think you have learnt it all, the learning never ends the mind should continually strive for greater
understanding of the spirit, especially the spirit within. Each day should bring new ideas, new thoughts
of spiritual learning. The depth of knowledge available to the open mind and willing spirit is infinite.
Always look within yourself for answers to the problems that face you in your material life for there is an
abundance of knowledge within each one of us, that we fail to tap into when we are unsure of our decision. There is also the knowledge that has come from past experiences use this knowledge to help you decide what to do and how to deal with difficult problems. Don't be afraid to use your own initiative when dealing with these situations, you know what can be done if only you remain calm and think logically about the problem. Don't let your emotions control your mind, stay focused on what needs to be done and do it.
Have faith in yourself, if you cannot trust yourself and your decisions, how can you expect others to
trust them. Life is not about who is right or wrong but of finding you own way through life,
doing the best you can. Situations occur, its how we deal with them that is important.
Try not to over react to them, see them for what they are, an opportunity to learn about
life and yourself. Be prepared to try different ways to overcome obstacles, they are a learning in
themselves. We must not limit ourselves with outmoded ideas, try new ways of getting over life's
hurdles.
