Busy Being Fabulous (Manifesting Potential)
(by Susan James)

Thanks to the Eagles latest CD , I’ve had the theme for
this story for a few weeks. Meaning before the current
news of Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s split. Most people
who know me, know that I’m a pure Madonna fan. That’s
not changed at all, nor is it changing the direction of this
essay, in fact, it may enhance it.

The song by the Eagles, ‘Too Busy Being Fabulous’ is
about a fellow who’s unhappy with the direction of his
wife’s life. He’s unhappy that she, from his perspective,
has chosen her career over family.

Let’s look at this from her perspective and from the place
of personal expansion. Human judgement and adherence
to ‘should and should not’ rules designed by humans
based on various religious guidelines from long ago,
would judge the girl as being ‘not a good person’ for
splitting up her home in pursuit of her own so labeled
selfish desires.

We can use the same Biblical guidelines to support her
‘going for it’ in her choice of livelihood; The Parable of
The Talents (Matthew 25: 14-30), that is unless we also
adhere to the voice of ‘the man is head of the household
and what he says is what IS to happen’. No matter his
place or interest in his own personal development.

The Bible is full of wonder..both wondering and
wonderment. It’s a basis for many of us on  various
potential paths. Many of us begin with in-depth study of
it, and it leads some of us to new places.

New places is where personal expansion takes us. Success
is woven in and out of personal expansion. The ups and
downs of life are there. The carrot and the gold ring, as
well at the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow are all
found within personal expansion.

We won’t get there by burying our talent and gifts. We
won’t personally expand into higher places, higher
vibrations, higher and more dynamic spirituality, by
burying our talent.

Do our talents and reaching our potential have to tear
apart our relationships? The answer is, of course not.

The question may come down to our understanding of
why we may be driven in one way or the other. How that
answer affects the direction of our relationships then
becomes a result of our choice. This is until we teach
ourselves the higher skill of  rising above ‘cause and
effect’.

Is it a bad thing, are we bad people if we choose to go for
something that enhances us personally in some way, but
appears to affect others in ways that don’t make them
happy?

No, it’s not a bad thing. It’s a ‘thing’.
It is what it is.

In my own life, I am very busy being Fabulous. Just ask
anyone who’s in my space. Why am I busy being
Fabulous?

I have this one life, currently.
I choose to be the best I can be and offer the best to others
that I can. Some choose to come along for the ride with
me. Some do not.
We all have our own path to follow.
Somewhere along the line in our expansion, we come to
know ‘that’ is our main responsibility to this life and to
others on a more subtle level.

Does this have to tear apart our relationships?
Of course not.

When we reach the place that we know how to design our
lives as we prefer, then all that we ever want, and more,
including our relationships remain in tact and prosper
along with our own Busy Being Fabulous Selves.

Have you buried your Fabulous Self?
If so, never mind, why….
Get the shovel!
