Words With Myself

You cannot have light without dark. This much is known, but when it comes to ourselves many people strive to convince themselves there is only light. By keeping ourselves blind to our own capacity of evil, we allow it to rule our subconscious.

A common theme, but an important one nevertheless. I am learning more and more that what is often needed from me is to set the intention, let it be known what I want to create, and trust that if it is meant for me then the universe will provide.

Just because it is simple, doesn't mean it is easy and just because it's hard, doesn't mean it is not right. We place our own limits upon ourselves, fear blinds us and after years of repeating that something is impossible, it soon becomes it. Change the narrative, re-convince yourself of the possibilities. 

Healing is not a constant fight to fix what is broken within us, healing is learning that we were never broken to begin with. Healing is acceptance, accepting what has been, what is and what will be. Healing is living in the present moment, not being distracted with fighting a lifelong war with ourselves. Sometimes it takes doing it wrong, to figure out how to do it right.

Fear can be seen as something to remove or to avoid, but fear reveals to us the very things we must do to move closer to our purpose. Fear is there to keep us safe, but in modern society fear has gone into overdrive and become a force for enabling us to escape and run away from our destiny. What was once a tool to provide healthy consideration for personal safety has now spread to all areas of life. Fear may have prevented our ancestors from eating a poisonous berry, but it didn't stop them from eating.

Anxiety or Intuition? How can you tell the difference? Often we can feel like our intuition is guiding us to somewhere and our anxiety is pulling us away, though it can be difficult to decipher which is which at times. A gut instinct telling you not to do something, or anxious doubts eroding your self-belief? If you pay attention you will notice that intuition arrives as a statement and anxiety arrives as a question.

The problem with comfort is that it pair with anxiety, as we know that the comfort will soon come to an end. When we make our whole life suited to comfort, we worry that when this time comes we won't be able to handle it. Those that are used to being in uncomfortable situation do not feel this worry, as they know that they situations are certain and they must deal with them as they arise. It gives nothing to fear a certainty.

Sometimes we can get fixed on obtaining comfort when what we truly are seeking, is peace.

Can you demand the universe to give you what you want? Who are you to be making demands? This is a limiting belief many of us suffer with, feeling like we are not worthy of the things we desire, but just by you being alive you have demanded from the universe that it is to be so. Though, you must be careful what you wish for...

The common way, isn't necessarily the right way. We have to embrace our individualism and trust that we know what is best for ourselves. Too many times do people convince themselves not to take action because the fear what others will say, their judgments and their criticisms. Only when we truly understand that the path is wherever we decide to walk, can we truly be free.
