Life is a Maze

… and consciousness is your map.

Do you want to succeed through life? Pay attention.

Don’t sleep walk your way through the maze. Every twist and turn has something for you. Every person you meet, every situation you encounter is quite purposefully planted in your path for your growth.

Open your eyes and get to know the terrain. Notice when you have gone down the same corridor and make another choice – don’t get looped into the same trap over and over again. If it looks familiar to you, chances are you’ve been down that path before.

Open your eyes and practice conscious awareness of the path you are on. You are always in charge of the path you take, but if you are not awake and conscious of the choices you are making, the maze will run you in circles.

Pick your head up. Stop running into dead ends. Be more strategic about your life. Learn when certain corridors lead you down darker paths and learn to look for the light.

But at the same time, don’t be afraid to explore and make mistakes. You might think that you know the direction that your path is taking you, but you may not. It may lead you towards a different outcome completely and believe it or not, that outcome would be for your highest good.

Practice consciousness towards your life. Pay attention to what is going on along your path – what are others saying to you and how others are treating you? The seeds of your life lessons are happening every day if you are conscious enough to watch them play out and learn the rules of the engagement. After all, it is the game of your life, and it is a maze which can be successfully navigated by waking up.

Your life is too short to run yourself around in circles. Do you want to be in a better place in your life? Wake up and find the nature of the path you have been following and if you realize that it hasn’t been serving you, it’s time to take another path.

Do YOUR Work

… and let others do theirs.

You can’t do it for them. And they won’t appreciate your efforts if you try.

All relationships require work on both parts to make it a true partnership. But NOT everyone is conscious enough to own what their part of that work is.

You can only do YOUR work. You cannot do the work for other people. If you try to, you will be enabling bad behavior in the relationship and it will make you an accomplice to their ignorance. It also forces you to make up the imbalance yourself which only creates resentment on your part.

Where there is NO AWARENESS, there is NO GROWTH. If you try to do the work for them, you rob them of their own opportunity for growth. You cannot remedy that situation by continuing to try and do the work for them. Nothing will change and after awhile, you will grow extremely frustrated because you are not getting your needs met and they will become frustrated because they will not understand what their work is – because you have been doing it for them all along. You cannot get upset with a situation that you condoned from the start.

Doing people’s work for them gets you nowhere. Do your work and let others do theirs. Nobody wins by your trying to do the work for both of you.  If you do not do the work, and just step back… you will give your partner space to recognize that there is a need for that work to be done and then you can start the dialogue towards healing. What options do you have?

Time to Wake-up

… or you will sleepwalk your way through life.

Most of us are not consciously living our lives, we are unconsciously making our way through a maze of daily distraction. Unfortunately we exist in a state of continual anxiety and organized chaos to which we have managed to desensitize ourselves. Today generally we live our lives on automatic pilot and we’ve trained ourselves to proceed with blinders on as a means of protecting ourselves. There are some things that we just do not want to see and so we turn a blind eye to them. We think this psychological cocooning keeps us safe but in actuality, it creates much bigger problems for us. 

If you are not awake, you will miss your life. It’s as simple as that. You will miss all the subtle signs that the universe is bringing you if you are not conscious. You will miss the opportunities for growth and happiness as they present themselves.

Wake up and see what is happening right in front of you. Do you want to know what is going on in your life? Look at your landscape. Your landscape and everything around you is a reflection of what is going on inside of you. So when you can see what is clearly playing out in front of you, you are in a better place to make decisions that will help you live a better life.

Life is too short to walk it in the dark. Put the lights on. Shed the light of consciousness on your life and start to put the pieces together. Once you can see where you are going, the road ahead will always be much smoother. Time to wake up.

Know Who You Are

… so you can become even better.

Know who you are – know all your issues, baggage and insecurities. Know absolutely everything about yourself – the good, the bad and the indifferent. Be brutally honest with yourself. The more work you do on becoming aware of who you are and how you show up in life, the better of a life you create for yourself. 

Awareness creates growth – lack of awareness creates negative patterns. Do you want to move forward in your life?  Become cognizant of your behaviors and your reactions to others. Ask yourself how you are showing up? Are you being the best version of YOU? Or are you unconsciously spewing venom at others?

Know who you are… know your issues, baggage and your insecurities and never throw them on anyone else. Remember who you are is YOURS, it is not anyone else’s fault that you feel a certain way or that you have a certain situation going on.

When you can practice awareness and see yourself objectively, you can make better choices for yourself – one’s that will allow you to grow and become the best you can be. When you don’t have a clue as to who you are and how you prefer to show up in life or what behaviors you prefer to engage in, you will find yourself at the mercy of whatever mood swing is on deck. Who you are is greater than any mood swing/anger outburst. Never give your power over to any volatile emotion to define who you are.

There are none so blind as those who just will not see. Wake up, open your eyes and recognize how you are comunicating. Your life experience is directly proportional to the behaviors you put out there. Time to learn who you are and start becoming even better.
