People seem to find themselves in all kinds of dilemmas.
These dilemmas are personal, financial, work, and relationships. At some point in your life, these become dilemmas. Is a dilemma something you must figure out? … something you must question? … something you think you can’t avoid? It could be all of these depending on your situation, which is the basis for how big you will perceive any one of these dilemmas to be.
We can tell you that the dilemmas you will face are caused by overextension.
You overextend yourself by wanting too much, and having too much, as things get out of control. You can no longer keep up with the demands associated with all the stuff, causing more dilemmas. So, how do you fix this? Where do you start? Where do you want to go?
Do you want to accept these dilemmas and live with them for the rest of your life? Or would you like to do something about them, maybe even eliminate them. Since dilemmas are caused by overextension you must learn how to let go of the things causing the dilemmas. We are not talking about losing anything. We are talking about releasing them. This is a huge difference.
People discover that their home has become a big dilemma in their life. They can no longer afford it, let alone all the expenses associated with ownership. They justified paying on a mortgage rather than renting but failed to consider the maintenance, insurance, taxes, utilities, HOA fees, improvements, unexpected repairs, and all the time and energy it takes to manage all this. Worst of all it keeps you stuck.
The American Dream has become a huge dilemma even in good times. People keep themselves in this situation because they desire freedom. Freedom from being told what they can’t do with the property since they don’t own it. Additionally, it promises security, both personally and financially.
However, if you decided to sell your home you will soon discover many dilemmas associated with that … before, during, and after, taking up more of your time and stress. After this experience, you may reconsider buying another home.
So what are the consequences of not buying another one? … would you see yourself as homeless? Of course not. You could always find a place to rent where you felt at home but didn’t have to own it.
We see you gaining something – not losing anything.
If you rented a place near where you work, or shop, would you even need a car? How much money would you save by not owning a car? You would no longer have to pay insurance, fuel, maintenance, and unexpected repairs, while the car drops in value every year? What if you could walk or ride a bike to work, or even carpool to go shopping and pay for their fuel. You would certainly pay much less than owning an automobile.
Does this mean you’ve lost something? Of course not. It means that you have gained another new freedom in your life. Once you begin looking at all the things you have accumulated through mindless overextension, you will then see how your thinking was flawed before you got yourself in those dilemmas. You create your dilemmas and you can back out of them just as easily as you got into them.
CALL TO ACTION: Start your Self-Examination
- Your dilemmas are all self-made.
- By eliminating these dilemmas in your life, you are not losing anything – you have a new appreciation for the freedom you got back.
- Your desire to own things has now turned a table because now they own you.
HOW IT WORKS: People have been programmed to consume. Without all the consumption the corporations could have never achieved what they have. They gained tremendous control, while you willingly forfeited your freedoms.
With freedom comes your inner peace and ability to do the things you’ve put off for years. It’s not about having things but doing and experiencing things. You won’t know how good it feels until you do it. The harder it is to release the things in your life causing the dilemmas, the better you will feel once it’s behind you. ~ Linda Deir

I imagine this insight working in my … life by following my guidance, I’ll have fewer dilemmas!!!
The guidance of clearing space of things that rob energy is pertinent to my life. One year ago I decided to move and I had 3 weeks to get packed and make arrangements. We had a 2000sq foot house and 3 car garage packed to the gills. It was the most stressful thing I have ever done in my life–packing and just throwing away or donating a minimum of 50% of what I owned. Most of the pain came from getting rid of things I spent a lot of money on. In my mind, they had value because in many cases they still had tags on them or I had never used them for the reasons I had bought them. In many cases, I had charged them to a credit card and had ultimately paid for them over years. I had been exerting energy for years in storing and trying to remember where these items were. Now with the guidance to continue to rid my life of energy-sucking excess, I feel that I must continue purging. I still have many boxes I have not yet unpacked in the garage that are making the garage unusable for anything but a storage unit. I will follow council and unpack and rid myself of items that are not serving me. How wonderful it will be to use the garage to put a car in! Next time I move it will not be as painful. I will pack my necessities and be on my way. No more worrying about how am I going to get all of these things somewhere where they will not fit anyway!!!
For those of you who feel this same urge to release all the stuff you have accumulated in your lives, this is guidance moving you in a different direction. You have more important things to do. Once you release what feels like a burden to you now, guidance will show you where to go. However, because you have free-will, even though you will be guided to go in a certain direction you must walk that way.
