The Work That We Do

Hey friends!  Welcome to August's Blog and it's a doozy!  I was driving back from a client's private party and I was thinking about all the obstacles that we place in front of ourselves when it comes to looking after ourselves.  To find our perfect balance (actually screw that!  There is no perfect balance - let's just take any balance).   Sometimes the obstacles are big like mountains and other times small like mole hills.  But they are obstacles just the same that we don't need in our lives....or do we???

 

Here it is.  The mindset of everything is a lesson in truth.  Straight up, undeniable truth.  Everything that we do, experience, achieve, conquer however you look at it is something that enlightens us and clears a path to the next part of our journeys.  Everything that we experience, the good, the bad and the ugly has purpose.

 

  I believe that we (in our human state) spend too much time trying to figure out and understand the why's of what we experience.  Especially when it is an uncomfortable or traumatic experience we fall back to the why's.  What did I do wrong?  What did I do to deserve this?  When in fact, I feel that Spirit wants us to look at it, validate the experience and simply learn from it in the present.  Not going back to the past with what did I do to?  Because more likely than not, it isn't about what you did to deserve (in some serious cases it may be) it is about what can I learn from this as most lessons that we learn are to help us move forward.  It is how we perceive them that makes all the difference.

 

What if for every lesson that we fall back to the way of thinking of (negative) what did I do wrong, what could I do better, we instead said - what have I learned to use in the present and in the future?  What can I pull from this experience that will better me, heighten me, enlighten me to a higher vibration so not only do I not have to experience that again but also I have validated that lesson and accepted it as learned.  Period.  How quickly we would be able to move through adverse energies and into the positive outcome!  Easily moving positively forward!

 

And let's take that a step further into how about if the experience is a positive one!  We as humans of course tend to completely jump in and be all in with the joy, happiness, maybe even surprise of a good outcome.  We tend NOT to look at the whys it happened but instead just celebrate it happening at all!  But again, what if we took a moment and sat with it.  The event, circumstance, outcome.  What if we acknowledged the work that we did to achieve it.  In whatever way!  Maybe you came into some financial abundance unexpectedly and you are like wait! I didn't DO ANYTHING to achieve this, but I say STOP!  You did.  Maybe it was opening the door for someone, helping an elder crossing the road.  Donating to a cause maybe once or monthly.  Being a shoulder for someone to cry on or lending an ear.  We don't have to be absolutely perfect in the things that we do to reap the rewards from the Universe.  It is much more likely that the little things count more than the big things.  How we are overall in our humanness is more important than our ego being stroked by doing one or two good things..  So when something good, kind, fabulous happens to you, take the time to reflect lovingly on who you are as a person.  Pat yourself on the back for the little things and that gratitude leads to filling your cup and your healthy ego!

 

Point of my message.  When something transpires that is empowering for you, don't look to the past for why things have gone wrong.  Take what you have learned from the moment and apply it to the present.  Reflect on how you got to this moment but don't sit in anger, sadness etc.  Remember that sometimes what occurs to us has nothing to do with us.  It is out of our hands and there is nothing we could have done differently to achieve different results.  When something amazing, positive, good happens - do take the time to look back and remind yourself of the goodness you bring to all that is around you.  That you are without a doubt worthy of it.  This is important and this IS how we fill our cup.

 

We are all deserving of greatness.  What that looks like to you is on you.  Be your authentic self.  Live in your truth.  Get rid of the baggage.  Truly let go!  Unabashedly celebrate your unique you!  Yasssss!    

 

Live, Laugh and Love is for real!
