The Good In Goodbye


by Rev. David Ault
Finding the good in goodbye - almost sounds like the beginnings for a country song lyric doesn’t it? Yet lately I’ve come to terms with just how important the intention of those words really are.


If goodbye is the soufflé, then change is the kitchen it is prepared in.


We are told that change is good, to embrace it, that it is inevitable but as much as we tend to accept these concepts mentally, I’ll be darned if there aren’t times that I’d simply like to burn that kitchen down.

Yet everyday, the experience of change extends its cordial invitation to me to come and participate, to celebrate in saying goodbye to the things, the people, the choices that are not in alignment with what I’m declaring I want.


Everyday.

Everyday, I am asked to find the good in that change, to hug it to me as faithfully as I may have been hugging my troubles and to come to the awareness that hugging change makes for a much more satisfying partner.


Marianne Williamson wrote in The Gift of Change, “I am God’s creation and in this moment I ask the universe to reflect back to me the greatness of God that is within me.”


I felt such power and comfort when reading that affirmation. I felt I had found a tool – actually more like a confidante - the butler of my soul – to help me escort some unwanted guests from my thoughts and to tell them goodbye.


I call on my butler a lot these days to be my voice in the internal world. In fact I have employed him 24/7 because some of these alliances which I formed and subsequently broke can be incredibly resistant in honoring the change – in taking my goodbye seriously. He knows exactly what to say.


Self Doubt – I tell you good-bye. I know that your presence within me has caused my intuition to have to sleep on the couch. Doesn’t work anymore. Intuition is moving into the suite in which you somehow were mistakenly assigned. I need you to pack your things now and leave. Be sure and take every shred of second guessing with you cause we won’t be using it.


Lack – I know you’ve held one of the prime rooms with a view in my world but we are now in the process of extensively remodeling and your beliefs no longer fit into the new décor. I have to let you go. Resilience, unlimited possibility and the experience of thriving have all teamed up to do my Extreme Soul Makeover. On your way out, please don’t forget to take any and all unworthiness with you sense it doesn’t go with any of the new choices.


Blame – Gosh, it’s been fun not taking responsibility and all but you know, that is just so last paradigm. I’ve really discovered that the light in others and in the world does exist. It’s just that with you, the drapes were always drawn. Personal responsibility and owning my projections have given me the vitality I had as a child. I really need room for them to grow now and get reacquainted with their original surroundings. Part of me would like to keep in touch but I feel it’s best to make a clean break. Ciao.


Illness – You’ve been so faithful, showing up season after season – the only one who could really get me to stop. But now, I think I’ve found a better companion to spend my time with – Balance. I adore the permission you gave me to slow down - but I’m ready to try it without all the congestion, diagnosis and emotional despair. I believe Balance is healthier for me and I feel like I’m ready for a long term commitment.


Disappointment – Ah, you and I, well, we’ve certainly been around and back. You were the one who tried to first protect me from how awful the world can be and how undependable people are. It was you who sat while I had my first good cry. Yet, I have to say, I’m just not feeling it anymore with you. Since you pal around with Blame and Self Doubt so much, I don’t see how we can continue seeing each other. How do I know you won’t try to bring them along? Besides, I hear there’s a new world out there – one that gives you what you focus on and I’d like to go exploring with a new friend named Fulfillment.


Auf Wiedersehen.

Shame – What are you doing here? I told you to get out years ago. Well, aren’t you the sneaky little devil. Security!!!!


Resentment – Gosh, can I be honest? You have GOT to go on a diet. You are simply too heavy for me to tote around – especially when you want to hang out in my heart. I’m impressed by all the names, dates and events that you have meticulously catalogued inside of you but it’s simply getting to be too much. I hear Forgiveness is in – light, breezy, almost zen-like and it just seems to appeal more to my new found sensibilities.


Despair – We’re sorry. You have reached an attitude that is no longer in service. Please check the owner of the attitude and try again. We’re sorry. You have reached an attitude that is no longer in service. Please check the owner of the attitude and try again. We’re sorry…….


David Ault
Visionary Vocalist, Author & Motivational Speaker
David Ault is highly regarded as one of the finest visionary vocalists and motivational speakers within the New Thought/transformational movement.


His focus on remembering the Divine within and reclaiming that connection has empowered hundreds of thousands on their spiritual journey. The union of David’s charismatic message and heartfelt singing has elevated him to guest speaker of choice in many nationwide churches and global organizations.


As a licensed minister and practitioner through Religious Science International, as well as author, songwriter/recording artist, David has traveled and shared his gifts for well over fifteen years.


Working closely with notables Louise Hay and Marianne Williamson and sharing the stage with many cherished mentors ranging from the late Og Mandino to Dr. Barbara King, Jerald Jampolsky, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Father Leo Booth and Mary Manin-Morrisey, David harvested that experience and developed his own unique style of teaching. His compassionate presence, warmth and humor continue to be an unforgettable guidepost for audiences as they rediscover and reawaken to their personal magnificence.


Starting out as a professional actor and singer, David worked extensively in Broadway tour shows, film and television winning critics awards in both New York and Los Angeles.


Throughout the 1980’s, David, along with the late Jerry Florence and Keith Kimberlin made their mark in New thought history by helping pioneer an unexplored musical genre—visionary vocal music. Known as Alliance, their remarkable blend became legendary, helping establish them as one of the most successful vocal groups in the Spiritual recording field.


David continues this musical path with the release of his critically acclaimed recordings, The Healing Bridge, Travelin’ With The Angels, All Is Calm, All Is Bright, And Then It Is Morning, all distributed through his Los Angeles based organization, The Conscious Company. Now, his highly anticipated literary debut, Where Regret Cannot Find Me, is heralded as “a fresh and exciting discovery in Spiritual literature ... a work of pure heart!”


“I feel extremely blessed and grateful in following this path”, says David. “It is my ongoing intention to create a message in word and music that assists us all in reawakening to our personal magnificence!”
