Someone is cracking open their joyous nature


Right now, Someone has recently cracked open their joyous, genuine nature because they did the hard work of hauling years of oppression off of their psyche Danielle La Porte, author

One doesn’t just wake up one morning and is suddenly enlightened! Sorry it just doesn’t work that way! It is not by magic that your life is changes, it’s by choice! One has to be willing to do the work, it is really just that simple. Doing the work takes responsibility, it takes self love, and compassion, it takes you telling the truth to yourself every single time!

Denial and blame becomes things of the past! As soon as you find yourself denying and playing the same blame, you are off track, get off that bus and take another one

You got to be willing to do the work and accept some good home truths about yourself and your life and trust me it ain’t pretty or fun at most times.

I am telling you in my case, I was deep in denial, in a cave really, a deep dark one! I kept telling myself that I was fine! That was a big fat lie! I wasn’t fine at all I was in a hot stinking mess! But then, the penny dropped and the remarkable Universe put me on a self correcting path. It said listen to me now, you have been ignoring me AND your feelings, your truth for too long sista! Get this, shift is about to hit the fan whether you like it or not! And boy did the shift hit! And taking responsibility now is great, it allows me to own my stuff and to make decisions based on love not on fear!

So what or where in your life do you need to take responsibility?

 So what did I learn today?

(One of my absolute favourite lessons)

If I want to be enlightened be prepared to give up the old ways, there is no way that I can remain the same at the same time.

If I want transformation how can I cling to my existing forms. If I  want transcendence  why would I think that I can remain planted in the quicksand of my perceptions of myself as victimized. If I want to be free, I need to stop getting  busy trying to make peace with my old shackles, chains, limitations and boxes. The power surging within me that is so potent should not frighten me.

I am signing up for a journey that, from a human standpoint, is unpredictable. I must be ready to accept the truth that just because I am not in control does not mean that things are out of control.

Peace!

Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
