Embrace Your Problems.
They’re On Your Side!
(No really, they are.)
The problems we face aren’t the root cause of our pain. They’re the result of it.
Don't get me wrong, it can be super challenging dealing with our problems!
But the underlying real pain we experience stems from not living the truth of who we really are…that’s what’s excruciating. That’s why, after much suffering, we may finally come to say things like, “I can’t take it anymore!", etc.
Perhaps, Anais Nin said it best...
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” ~Anais Nin
Ultimately, what will lead to our freedom and healing is to understand…that at the root of any human problem, we can find an aspect of ourselves…a part of our true selves…that we’ve been too afraid to embrace, and incorporate into our lives.
The "problem" isn’t the real problem…but rather, it points to the real issue…a true part of ourselves that we haven’t incorporated into our lives due to fear.
Within every problem, if we’re willing to look, there is a part of our true selves that is being asked, or invited, to show up.
For example, people may have experiences like the following:
PROBLEM: "Everybody takes advantage of me!”
INVITATION MAY BE: Stand up for yourself.
PROBLEM: "No one ever listens to me!”
INVITATION MAY BE: Connect to your worth. Speak clearly and effectively.
PROBLEM: I hate my job!
INVITATION MAY BE: See your value, worth and capabilities.
PROBLEM: "I’m always overlooked!
INVITATION MAY BE: Be willing to be seen. It is now safe to do so.
The good news is that we can pre-empt problems altogether by voluntarily stepping into our power, and embracing our true selves. (Answering...instead of ignoring or blaming...these invitations of life, like the examples listed above.)
We don't have to wait for a problem to convince us to do it! (Unless, we really prefer getting roughed up by the universe?)
So, are you ready for a direct pathway to freedom?
Not to mention joy, love, and peace?
Then...
When facing ANY CHALLENGE, there's just ONE QUESTION to ask yourself: "What part of my TRUE SELF is being CALLED forward here?"
Do that.
It's just better.
So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so much better.
Cheers!
