OWN IT~ACCEPT IT~ALLOW IT

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: has us looking inside ourselves for the keys and clues to better health and wellbeing.  As long as we are searching outside of ourselves for the answers or reasons for our state of being, we will encounter endless excuses, challenges, attitudes and disappointments as a reward.

The truth, the answers, the way and the means to achieve our best self are always hidden deep within our own heart for safe keeping.  When we are done with all the karmic research and adventures, the hardest thing for us to do is make the pilgrimage inside ourself.  These hidden treasures will reveal all of the wisdom we have acquired during our lifetimes of experience and exploring.

In order to access that wisdom, first we must own it – then accept it – then allow it to be the source of our own guidance for the remainder of our journey.  This takes courage and faith as every single point of our wisdom was gained through hurtful or harmful challenges.  Letting go of the hurt and harm allows us to grow stronger and wiser as we surrender all that we went through to become who we are now.  This is the IT factor that signals we are fully awake and aware of who we are!
IT= I TRUST

OWN IT= I trust my own intuition, instincts and intentions guides my way
ACCEPT IT= I accept everything I have been through has contributed to who I am.
ALLOW IT= I allow myself to embody a heart full of love by forgiving what I went through

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: challenges us to seek the inner wisdom of our own intuitive self as we are facing more aspects of ourselves that need to be loved.  We are very quick to judge ourselves and others when the broken pieces of our heart are still floating around in the ethers waiting for us to discover them.  What we don’t want to see or embrace in ourselves, we enlist others to bring them to our attention in ways we cannot ignore or  resist.

The level of resistance we hold inside is in direct proportions to the importance of what we are being asked to accept and love about ourselves.  These qualities tend to show up in ways that we are quite adamant are ‘not our problem’ or ‘someone else’s stuff’.  When we are in this place of denial of self the messages get louder and stronger . . . until we recognize them and own them.

Take some time today and think of the person who triggers you, or annoys you the most.  Somewhere in their starring roll of enemy or adversary is the answer to your mystery of self love that is disguised as rejection or loathing. In the spirit of fairness – be thankful and grateful to the one who plays your mirror and set them free from further obligations.

Broken pieces= the parts of ourselves that we do not love or accept
Bent perception= a distortion of truth that keeps us from being loved
Bad feelings= illusions that love is absent within us or unavailable around us

 

FAMILY~FRIENDS~FOES

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: Long before we arrive here on the planet of transformation and change, we make contracts and agreements with other souls who are on a quest for similar growth and knowledge.  These contracts are the blueprints for our souls journey and help facilitate the direction our life will go.  They are a general map of the challenges and choices we will make and are subject to completion once we have explored all of the variations these trials and tribulations can bring.

Karma is the complex game of balance.  For everything we choose and experience in the shadow side of ourselves, we will also create the sunny side as a full spectrum of understanding and compassion that inevitably comes from playing both sides of the pendulum.  These difficult challenges come with a built in support system that is offered by our family, friends and foes . . . they all play an equal roll.

Although most of us would be quick to select the hero or the benevolent characters to portray as our true self, we must also be willing to play the villain, the victim and the victor in every way.  It is important to remember in the middle of ‘the game’ or ‘the show’, that we VOLUNTEERED to do this for each other.  More can be learned from controversy than from complacency.

FAMILY= the full range of support for our learning requirements from happy to harmful, to hurtful and hateful
FRIENDS= those that challenges us to grow by acceptance, rejection or total denial
FOES= our most feared and judged qualities showing up as reflections of what we hold inside such as fears, phobias and belief in failure.
