Good Morning loves...
Lets face it, a lot of us have walked some pretty rough roads, where we stumbled often and every now and again, fell flat on our asses. It seems to be the common theme for those who have come here to shake things up and create change in this world. But sometimes we can get stuck within all that mire and muck, allowing where we have been to influence the way we feel about ourselves and where we are today. The more painful the fall, the more strenuous the climb back to our power and love for self.
Sometimes it can feel overwhelming having to go in and sort through what is true about ourselves and what is simply beliefs we picked up along our journey; things that others have somehow convinced us we are, or are not. And if we're not careful, we can let these misconceptions rule our lives, swallow us up whole, weigh us down and keep us sitting amongst the debris for years, resolute in our own suffering.
Now, I want to tell you something that I hope will make you smile and perhaps have you looking at your life with renewed optimism. The only thing keeping you from fulfilling your dreams and living a life of passion and pure joy is your beliefs about who you are (or who you are not). That critical voice in your head, that loves telling you how you don't quite measure up, that life is hard, that you can't succeed so don't even try, that you're worthless, that your life has no meaning and never will, that there's no-way-in-hell you will ever be anything more than you are right now, (among a infinite array of other ridiculous commentary) is a master fabricator of illusion! It's all hogwash! Yes, I said it, HOGWASH, poppycock, horse-feathers, hooey, balderdash, bull crap, rubbish, twaddle, nonsense! (Are you smiling yet?)
The truth is, all those rough roads you walked had a distinct and divine purpose and it wasn't to keep you face-planted in the dirt. They were developing your strength, formulating your wisdom, generating enough challenge to instigate a fury so passionate you would finally scream, "ENOUGH" and walk on with all the skills and tools necessary to complete your life's ambitions. Yup, it was all for YOU.
Now get up, there's work to be done and adventures to be had!
Happy Sunday! I love you all so much!
