From Doubt to Belief: Embracing Possibilities and Letting Go
As we step into the first Friday of June, let's take a moment to explore our desires and what we want to create in the second half of the year.
During my Pursue Your Purpose workshop last week we had a splendid conversation about defining success. It got me thinking about what it means to find deep fulfillment. In that spirit, a few thoughts to share with you today.
Awareness:
I find my ego often clings to specific titles, people, places, or ways of being, wanting them to be "the only way” or “the answer” or “what will make me happy”. However, the soul whispers a different truth – no external thing can possible fulfill me. It’s an inside job. This isn't about surrendering all we desire externally; it's about being open and creating even more possibilities. Possibilities beyond what you could imagine for yourself. Being open and trusting.
Patience:
Life is not a vending machine that delivers our desires at the push of a button. Yes, we create our lives with our intention, vibration, and action. And, there's also such a thing as divine timing. Divine timing, often beyond our comprehension, unfolds at its own pace. Cultivating patience and trust is a vital skill in this journey.
A quote to think about...
“Slow down to speed up.”
All of life is a process of deciding who you are and then experiencing that. Slow it down.
Moments of Doubt:
During the quiet moments when nothing seems to be happening, resist the urge to fill the void with worry or doubts about the future. Worry creates more worry. Instead, use this time to go back to awareness. Be so in the present moment that you don’t let a negative thought pass you by. Often, doubt stems from negative self-talk. Challenge these thoughts by questioning their validity. Are they based on facts or assumptions? Usually they are assumptions and totally off base. Combat this by taking small, manageable steps towards your goals. Each step you take builds confidence and diminishes doubt. Remember, progress is progress, no matter how small.
Beliefs:
Examine the beliefs that may get in the way of your dreams. Are they empowering or limiting? Recognize that our beliefs shape our reality, and sometimes, we are living in a self-imposed prison that we are unaware of. We believe we have obstacles in our way. Is that even true? Challenge your perceptions and choose to believe in a life without obstacles. Everything in this adventure on planet Earth is for your growth and the realization of your desired life.
Attachment:
Release the tight grip of attachment. Identify what you are holding onto and question its importance. Letting go doesn't mean giving up on your dreams but rather embracing the present moment as equally significant.
Detach from the idea that what you want is more important than where you are right now.
Embrace the dance between desires and acceptance, and may the rest of the year bring us closer to the lives we authentically wish to live.
A life filled with fun, abundance, meaning, and purpose!
Wishing you a patient, present-filled weekend ahead!
