FLAWS~FAILURES~FEARS

2006

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: teaches us about the importance of love and how having it in balance can greatly affect the overall quality of life.  Long before we are in search of the perfect partner we must first become the perfect partner within ourselves.  This does not mean a life without flaws, failures and fears . . . but one where we honour and respect what those qualities have to teach us and contribute to our level of wisdom.

Once we can embrace our own flaws, failures and fears as part of what makes us special and unique, our tolerance for others and their special blend of the same is so much richer. We tend to attract someone who will embody the same traits that we have but from the opposite side of the pendulum.  Where we are strong they will be weak and where we are weak they will be strong.  This helps us not only maintain our own sense of uniqueness, but to also assist our significant other to do the same. This requires compassion.

When we do not reflect our truth or our beliefs in an open hearted way, there will be a static energy between us and the outside world.  This static energy is a reminder that we are not being authentic or real in our expression of self.  The sparks will fly inevitably and we usually see this as a sign if incompatiblilty, when the truth is we are so much alike we have amplified, magnified and intensified our shared life lesson so we can’t miss it!

FLAWS= the cracks we have identifyed in our character or lifestyle
FAILURES= the outcomes of our lack of self worth or self esteem
FEARS= the reflections of ways we are unloving or unfair to ourself

OWN IT~ACCEPT IT~ALLOW IT

2005

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

BROKEN~BENT~BAD

2004

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
