The Truth is Beneficial to You

The truth is utterly beneficial to you, but at first it can be quite shocking and disappointing to your other plans and goals. This you must risk if you wish to have the certainty and the empowerment that the truth will bring to you. The truth always brings resolution of conflict, always provides an experience of self, always gives you a sense of current reality and always provides direction for you to move forward. Steps to Knowledge

 We cannot un-see what we have seen.
We cannot un-know what we have become to know.
What we can do is make a choice or decision on what to do with the knowledge.
What scared me about accepting the truth was the thought that I had to make a decision and a quick one as well. Many times after seeing, knowing and accepting truth, my life changed drastically. It got easier but, trust me in the early stage it was a bit of a torture.
When I denied the truth, I found all manner of reasons and justifications for staying in denial. And there were people who were willing to enable me in this state of denial. I also found that when I accepted the truth, many of these people who encouraged the lie or the denial fall out of my life. Some of them leave no matter how much I look to keep them as a part of my life.

 I also learned that I do not have to make a decision immediately. Sometimes it is a process. The truth will wait on me. The truth will wait on us. It will not change, but it will be there waiting. Life is so good to us, we will be given signs and signals when it is time to move, shift, pivot or change. If we choose to ignore the signs that is on us. There are consequences for ignoring the signs.

 The truth will not only set you free, it will make you stronger. It will build your courage muscles and take you to a place where you will rest easy that after the discomfort or pain that you will be AOK.

What is being of service?

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  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...
