Exceeding Expectations

This is your card reading for Friday, January 2nd/15.  Your card glided out of the 'Gateway Oracle' card deck, authored by Denise Linn.  Your card is 'Exceeding Expectations', and Denise's message for the card is this:
"I soar into excellence!
Card meaning:  This is the time to dream big and stretch yourself.  Exceed your own expectations...and definitely exceed the expectations that others have of you.  Envisage that in the days ahead, you will stepping beyond what others anticipate for you, and so it shall be.
The Universe wants you to know:  You may have been playing small, but now is your chance to dream big.  Expect miracles.  Believe that the best will occur for you, and it will. Make plans---big plans---for the future.  Do not act as if you're inadequate in order to make others feel secure.  In the months ahead, you'll be exceeding inner and outer expectations Get ready to fly!
Questions to ask yourself:  Have I been playing small so that others wouldn't feel insecure?  Am I ready to exceed my own expectations?  What are my true expectations in my life, and am I satisfied with them?"

My message for you today is this:
As we transition from the energy of 2014 and into the possibilities and potentials of 2015, today you are being asked to simply FEEL THE POTENTIAL!  Don't get all caught up in trying to determine all the 'where's and why fors' or the 'hows' of fulfilling your dreams...simply reside in the excitement energy of DREAMING.  Believe it or not, this is a necessary aspect of fulfilling any dream or of bringing it to realization...being in the ENERGY of DREAMING, and fully embracing that.  This is embracing the ENERGETIC VIBRATION of potential and possibility and of OPTIMISM.  Be THERE now.  
I have already alluded to 2015 being an 'action year', but in order to take 'conscious action' (this is going to be the 'buzz phrase' you will see here time and again, as I feel that it best defines the energy of this year), you must make a conscious connection and align your vibration with what you wish to draw in.  Dream BIG and reside in the excitement of that dreaming, knowing that by doing so, you are drawing to you the perfect circumstances; people; situations; and vibration to make it so.  Remember that, in your reading yesterday you were also advised that you will be learning about balancing 'surrender' with 'action'...know that you cannot orchestrate (nor should you) exactly how your dreams will come to fruition, so relax about that.  At this time, your task is to DREAM, and then to be open to what the Universe presents you with.  Know that in the previous two years, you laid a lot of groundwork for what you will achieve in 2015, even if you are unable to consciously 'see' this right now---trust me, you DID!  Let go of any self-judgment about not having gotten to where you thought you should be at this time---that energy only holds you back. Just for today, allow yourself the pleasure of being in the energy of your unique, beautiful POTENTIAL!  LET GO NOW OF LIMITING THOUGHTS!  Allow optimism and excitement to be the guideposts of your day...
Blessed be...
