My purpose & passion is to inspire humanity to live their dreams, and to live mine. Which on a deeper level is truly about meeting our potential and living from our hearts, embodying our Souls on Earth. Given that, I have a lot of experiences & thoughts about how we unravel our conditioning and step into our dreams.
The biggest obstacle to truly living the life we love and meet our potential is thinking something is wrong with us. This “belief” is perpetuated everywhere we look in today’s World.
Check your Social Networks and oh, look! There’s someone doing something really fun & brilliant, but you’re not. What a complete loser you are.
Have an ache or pain? Check Google, look it up. Oh, you’re about to die from a stomach ache. Your life truly is a disaster.
Of course, none of that is true :)
I had an experience recently where I had a body ache, and I was looking for a remedy. While reading the description on the box of my possible solution to my “ailments,” it hit me: I’m thinking something is “wrong” with me, but it wasn’t true. I didn’t need what I thought I was looking for, I needed to relax. My body was full of tension from stress, and all I needed was...a good nap :)
As a healing artist, I saw the doubt & fear that comes up in one’s ability to heal. Everyone wants a “fix” because they think something is “wrong” with them. Victim hood takes over. We want our Momma & homemade Chicken Soup. This is not to say pain isn’t real. It is. But it doesn’t mean there’s something WRONG with us.
"Our minds can fool us, but our bodies never lie..." is what I used to say as a massage therapist.
What it means is...you’re up for a growth spurt. It's time to own it. You have an opportunity to evolve, and step into the mastery of your life. (By the way, this is an ongoing thing...it never ends. Circumstances change, the learning is a little different each time. Like an onion, there are layers...all happening for our inner growth & awareness.)
That said…
I’d like to invite us all to pay attention to what we say to ourselves when something’s “up” in our life. It could be as simple as getting triggered when reading someone else’s post on a Social Network, or maybe something deeper emotionally is happening in our lives. These feelings are taking to Us, and initiating some kind of change within.
Perhaps it’s...
A relationship loss.
A job change.
Financial woes.
A physical dis-ease or challenge.
These are the big ones. What we face are opportunities to step UP in life. It’s absolutely paramount we go through the pain by owning it. Let it rip through us, cry, scream, fall down to our knees...whatever it takes to surrender to the suffering. After that, there’s room for the “new” to come in. New awarenesses of who we truly are. New ideas & inspirations that lead to our dreams, our purpose...our destiny.
This is the real deal in life every human is challenged with: how we accept or deny what “happens to us.”
Deep inside, we know our true path. Yet the World will try to tell us differently, keep us in a box in order to control us, manipulate us into thinking we’re crap, not good enough...that something is “wrong” with us. That we don't know our own hearts and have our own answers inside.
By paying attention to how self doubt & fear enter us through our daily activities as well as the big things in life, we take our control back. No longer playing victim. We truly heal.
We stand tall with authentic confidence.
We feel more purposeful & free.
The world around us begins to change.
We win ♥
