LISTEN~LEARN~LAUGH

Posted on by Ascensials

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: inspires us to take a closer look at how we process our information and determine what direction we will take as a result of how we react.  It is so easy just to instinctively reject what is being said or heard because it makes us uncomfortable.  But when you realize that within that discomfort there is a truth trying to surface into your awareness  that can help you resolve some of your inner battles, it is worth taking an extra moment to engage in seeing it differently.

We do not react to things that are not the truth.  We are clearly able to dismiss it and not let it rock our world, or mess with our mind.  When there is an element of truth to something, our inner reactor can go off and it becomes a point of focus or conversation.  The true art of listening allows us to take the comment in and turn it around in different ways to see what part of it is ringing our bells or triggering our reactions.  The gift is always worth the effort and once you realize this, our conversations can become a wonderful source of enlightenment for ourselves.  Just don’t expect others to be excited about your discoveries or ahaha moments.  Usually when we are in a place of waking up to a new truth, there is someone who has been the source of the trigger that will be somewhat upset or offended that we took things the way we did.

Every conversation has the potential to gift us with a deeper understanding, or a higher awareness of ourselves in how we hear things, how we learn things, and how we ultimately have the choice to respond with gratitude and compassion or resentment and rejection.  The old way is to react and act ‘as if’ we have been offended or hurt.  That is and always will be a choice. The outcome of that choice will lift us up, or tear us down . . . either way we learn, but one is so much nicer to work with than the other.  Learning to laugh at ourselves and the situation instead of being offended and hurt is a sign of mastery.

LISTEN= truly hearing what is said without reacting inappropriately
LEARN= honouring what is said as a gift of wisdom being shared
LAUGH= the release of energy that sets our soul free from our inner reactor

THANKFUL~GRATEFUL~HOPEFUL

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON:  encourages us to take the time to review our moments with a heart that is open to the blessings all around us.  As we venture further into our higher vibrations, it is important to acknowledge the sum and total of our source of supply and life force.  Each moment reflects the extent that we are able to do that, and shows us how much love we have embodied that we have access to.

The journey to enlightenment is long and expansive in its challenges.  We choose those moments and all that comes with them in order to accomplish what we are needing to learn, know and ultimately understand.  These challenges can be at times overwhelming in their depths and intensity but at the end of the day, in the core of our being, at the depth of our soul, we know we are contributing a priceless level of awareness to the collective  that blesses each and everyone.

In order to achieve these levels and goals, we must be ready to surrender to the moment we are in by being thankful, grateful and hopeful in our intentions, perceptions and directions that we take to bring it into being. This level of alignment is not for the faint of heart or the unawakened soul.  It is truly the most difficult and challenging stage of a souls development as they reach enlightenment . . . the journey back to who we are at the conscious level of unconditional love.

THANKFUL= acknowledging  responsibility for what we have created and experienced
GRATEFUL= accepting how we feel about participating in our choices and challenges
HOPEFUL= allowing ourselves to trust that all is what it is meant to be and will be

COURAGE~COMMITMENT~COMPLETION

Posted on by Ascensials

Today’s Life Lesson: encourages us to take a very close look at the things we are committed to.  Whether it is people, things, outcomes or goals, none of it matters if you do not have the courage it takes to complete it.  The simple act of having a good idea is enough to inspire us to create something our heart is passionate about.  But the process itself can be quite time consuming and exhausting as we dive into the logistics of making it happen.

Commitment takes courage . . . there is no doubt that we must draw from every part of our being in order to create something that feels worthwhile, satisfying or inspiring.  To only dream the dream and not live the life it brings is what makes us feel unhappy, sad or incomplete until we get to the place where we make a choice.  Facing the inner dragons of destruction, disillusionment and distraction are all a part of what we must face in this manifestation journey.  Each of them will challenge you to look more deeply at your perception, your intentions and your self worth as you go through the process.

Courage takes commitment . . . you can’t start something and not finish it and feel like you are accomplishing something worthwhile.  Most of us are great starters, but when the challenges come we fall down and give up, or walk away and follow another idea the floats by which ends up in the same file of incomplete goals and dreams.  This is the most frustrating and disheartening thing we repeatedly do to ourselves and then wonder why we are unhappy!

Completion of a goal or a dream, is very empowering.  It is where we begin to trust that we are not only capable of imagining great things for ourselves, but that we are also quite capable of manifesting them.  This takes practice, time and effort, but is well worth the sweat equity when the moment finally arrives and we see our dream in action or in reality.  There is no greater feeling for the soul to experience when it comes to living in a state of empowered, conscious creation.  That is what we are designed and destined to do. When we don’t complete our dreams and desires, we end up living in a world of chaos and pain that challenges us to finish what we started.

COURAGE= the inner strength we each have to draw from in every moment
COMMITMENT= the desire to stay the course and not get distracted or disillusioned along the way
COMPLETION= the moment when it all comes together and reveals your deepest desire to manifest your dreams
