I know. I was there…there with you, dead in the thick of it the last five years. And just like you, I personally experienced all the insanity of the intense transitions, emotional roller coasters, and the crumbling away of all the personal stability, security, foundation, and structure.
I know. I was there and in no way was I given some special pass by the Universe that allowed me to somehow evade and transcend the beautiful chaos that ensued.
I was meant to experience it all just like you were.
The only difference is I’ve been given a gift which allows me to verbalize and convey these powerful messages, reiterating into words what collectively many of you intuitively feel. I feel blessed to be a conduit selected to receive these channeled transmissions, for it’s direct communications, such as this, which guide and direct me on this journey. But along with this incredible gift of insight, I also wind up enduring the weight of many, vastly different challenges that this “gift of gab” all too often presents.
I am in no way exempt from the intense energetic pressures and collective feelings surrounding us, in fact I’m more sensitive to it, but I’ve chosen to flow along with it. I bend when the wind blows. I don’t fight it anymore and that’s why I don’t break. For it’s once you stop trying to overcome what you think stands in the way, that you’ll finally understand that whatever’s in your way is all part of the way there.
I’m continually fine tuning my awareness.
I constantly observe with my inner eye how I react to situations, circumstances, people and events, and I’ve taught myself to become very mindful in not to place blame for how my life may feel on any externalities.
Life doesn’t control how you feel, you do, and I don’t suppress or push powerful feelings like rage and sorrow. I transform and channel them into positive forces of creative energy that drive me forward into creating the changes I seek.
These last five years weren’t punishment, they were leveling us up into something far greater and preparing us for the strong positions of leadership we are now capable of fulfilling. But it’s a choice, you can step into this new role and embrace your calling, or continue falling back, cowering in past experiences and remain stuck in your fear of the unknown.
This was never about being fearless, but your fear is only meant to be a temporary opening act in your lead play of courage.
There is no shame in feeling afraid, just don’t allow fear to run the show.
Once you’re fed up with being ensnared and entangled by fears snarling jaws you can choose to remove yourself from the exhausting energy and reminiscing over what once was and wondering why it’s now no longer. It’s about being afraid and choosing to move forward anyways. Courage doesn’t only apply to what’s done in the spotlight. often it’s a choice to finally let go of what is hurting your heart and soul.
This type of courage is required and truth be told we’re all capable of the sort of bravery to help us continue moving onwards. Blind faith, trust in your ability the unknown and intuition are the only requirements. But sadly many won’t even attempt it. They don’t realize it’s only their lack of faith in themselves and the doubt in their abilities to push through anything holding them back.
The choice to remain beaten and worn down, or instead arise from past ashes adorning battle scars to claim the victory that lays in plain sight before you is completely up to you.
Kickoff the life you want through conscious action.
Get shit done and live life like you own it, because when you do, life suddenly becomes like gift city and you’ll realize the abundance all around you. Keep in mind, this is impossible unless you ascend the stories you tell yourself about why you can’t do something and rise like the Phoenix over your own bullshit.
It’s about realizing you are tougher than your past to receive the new opportunities the universe is offering…and believe me when I say ‘I know, I was there.’
