Face it. This past five years we’ve endured (2012-2017), while incredibly transformative, have admittedly been anything but easy.
Currently, it feels like we’re all being prepped to quickly shift into a new phase of our lives and this energetic space we’re in now is calling us supportively to close out or sever anything and anyone no longer serving the greater good of our advancement.
This means consciously choosing to release any and all elements in your life that previously held you back, left you frustrated, discouraged, disconnected, and made you feel small.
This applies to any and all romantic relationships, friendships, jobs, family members or any other aspects in your life that have left a gnawing sensation in your gut, caused stress, or unnecessarily weighed you down for far too long.
It’s time to literally, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually CLEAR THE DECK and allow this painful cycle of the past five years to end.
So how do you go about doing this you ask? Because according to the restrictions of your own limited mind there is no simple solution, but really it is as simple as deciding to release any and all elements in your life that have long since grown stale and then consciously choosing to walk away from them, allowing yourself to head in a new direction toward your heart’s desires.
Stop allowing present and past circumstances to lay hold of you. Quit settling, people pleasing and playing small.
Stop wasting your precious life force and energy on being in a state of constant anger or upset over what is obviously no longer working and has clearly shown you it has run its mark and is now finished.
Stop driving yourself insane by trying to understand why things in life are the way they are.
The simple fact of the matter is that whatever it is, is not working, and isn’t that enough? THAT IS what’s happening. So save yourself the hassle of attempting to discover treasure in the same old pile of dog shit and MOVE ON.
Come home to your true center, remember what it is that lights you up at your core, reignites your passion and returns you back to your true AUTHENTIC self.
Relationships, jobs, family members, and friends don’t make you who you are, and no one can do this for you. YOU create your reality and what you’re seeking doesn’t come from external validation. None of those things can make you happy if you’re never happy with yourself, and happiness is not something that’s determined by your surroundings, but something that resides within you.
This especially applies to LOVE. Love is something that can never exist outside of you if it doesn’t exist inside within you first.
Here’s a little secret and one that could potentially save you a ton of time and money:
The solutions within the ENTIRE self-help section and where ALL the spiritual practices eventually lead you to is:
EVERYTHING YOU ARE SEEKING ALREADY RESIDES WITHIN YOU.
And while the future may be on your mind and the reality of where you’re at now has really set in, you can ALWAYS choose to either continue fixating on how hard the last five years have been, or instead actually look in the mirror and acknowledge the beautiful butterfly you’ve become.
Clear the deck.
Allow the past five years to end. Caterpillar time is now over. Transformation has taken place when you decide to stop looking behind you at the doors that are now shut. You’ll actually realize that what you’ve just undergone was a process you never believed possible, but “TA-DA!” It is and it has HAPPENED.
Stop fixating on your marks and scars and realize the beauty of your own courage and strength. You are capable of moving through life differently now. You’ve become intuitively more self-aware with the inept ability to look inside your soul like never before.
Identify your inner truth and rise up and claim your true value.
Discover all the treasures leading to your deepest desires by embracing your fears rather than resisting the cave you have terrifyingly dreaded to explore.
Yeah, sure there is a probability that things could go wrong, but don’t forget there’s also an equally if not greater probability EVERYthing could go RIGHT. Embracing fear brings growth, and by moving towards fear’s salivating, snarling jaws instead of running away from them, you realize fear cannot bite you, fear can ONLY POSITIVELY TRANSFORM YOU.
Stop fearing your vulnerability. Vulnerability creates real freedom and once there’s nothing left to hide, there’s nothing left to lose and this only means there’s everything left to gain.
Stop worrying about all the fucking potholes in the road and just celebrate life’s journey. Seriously…Have a little faith.
While you may not have chosen where you come from, the truth is you can always choose where you’re going now. The past can only continue to define you with your consent.
Clear the deck! Allow the cycle of the past five years to end.
