It’s Not WHAT You Go Through

… it’s HOW you go through it —

that makes ALL the difference in the world.

You always have a choice as to how you show up in life. It’s important to remember that everything is interrelated. Every action you take, every decision you make determines your NEXT experience.

Think before you act. Think before you put energy into motion. If you react negatively towards a situation, you’ll only succeed in drawing more negative circumstances to you. Whereas if you consciously react positively towards a situation, you’ll increase the likelihood of attracting more positive circumstances to you. It is the way the universe works.

We all go through difficult times, the question is HOW do you get through them? You always have a choice. You can either play the victim and blame others for your misfortune and become angry, resentful and jaded OR you can become the master of your life and learn to dance in the rain with acceptance, grace and trust.

All storms need to be weathered. How do YOU show up in the rain? Do you get soaked or do you learn to laugh your way through it? Crying in the rain ONLY gets you wet. Laughing your way through it ensures that the sun will come out again.

You Are Always in Control of Your Life

… it is never in control of you.

The story of your life is always in the pen you are holding. But how many of us realize that?

No one has control over your life unless you give it to them. You are co-creating every experience you have. If you are not enjoying the experience, it is up to you to make another choice.

Although there is a destiny in place, you have free will and can write/rewrite any chapter you like. But many of us suffer through situations because we have given our power over to other people or situations to feel powerless and trapped. Know that feeling that way is a choice. If you have had an experience and decide that it does not work for you/does not make you happy, then make another choice and change the situation. Life will NOT change it for you. If you sit back and allow yourself to wallow in the pain and confusion, the universe reads that as your choice to do so.

Learn to own your power and learn to understand that when a situation or thought form is no longer working for you, it is up to you to create a new ending for yourself. You are the author of your life and you hold the pen, why would you give it to someone else to write your story? They do not know what you need to be happy so take back that pen and continue to write.

The choices you make in this moment ALWAYS determine your next experience. You are in control of your life, no one else is. Honor that and live it to the fullest, then you will see that what you thought was such a problem in your life was just a thought form waiting to be rewritten. Life is just that simple.

Wanting What You Don’t Have

… makes sure you’ll NEVER get it.

It’s the wanting that creates all our problems. It’s OK to strive for more, but it is not OK to allow yourself to feel less than whole because of the absence of something in your life.

When you feel as if something is missing in your life, you create a state of lack and that state of lack has a very low vibration and that low vibration will continue to attract more low vibrational outcomes. If you focus on what it is you do not have instead of focusing your energy on appreciating all that you do have, then you are sacrificing your vibrational output.

And why is that vibrational output so important? Because the universe can only read the vibration that you are putting out there and send it back to you as your next experience. So if you are sending out “lack” and “wanting” and “needing,” then the universe can only take a picture of all that and send it right back to you as your next experience. So when you feel needy and want more, you only create a situation where you attract more “needing” and more “wanting” for yourself. This process unfortunately does not create more “having.” Having is considered “abundance” and thus a positive vibration.

Again, it is fine to strive for more in life – to achieve greater heights, but do so from a place of empowerment. See your life as already rich and exercise gratitude for all that you do have and from that positive vibration is the place where MORE will be given to you. Remember lack does not produce abundance. Gratitude and abundance create more abundance. Which state would you prefer to cultivate in your life?

When the Burden Gets Too Heavy

… learn to lighten your load.

Not every issue has direct relevance on your life. Yet as humans, we tend to carry every burden on our shoulders as if it was our own. Maybe we are empathetic, maybe we are sensitive to other’s plights, maybe we are just kind people – whatever the excuse, we do not need to carry others’ issues, struggles or negative behaviors upon our shoulders. Life gets much simpler and easier when we learn to own what is ours and give the rest back.

Your work in life is to get yourself to the “top of the mountain” with as much ease and enjoyment as possible. You cannot get to the top of the mountain with ease if you are carrying bags upon bags of other people’s traumas and opinions and judgments. In order to succeed in your own life, you have only to carry what you need in order to make yourself happy. When you have what you need, you have enough to share with others, but when your bags are full of what isn’t serving you, you take yourself down, exhaust yourself and leave yourself feeling hopeless and filled with despair.

Decide today that you are not going to hold onto anything in life that doesn’t serve you – whether it may be a certain person or other’s opinions of you, or other’s dysfunction with themselves or with their peers, etc… Whatever drama or nonsense is going on around you, learn to let it pass through you. Don’t pack it up and take it up the mountain with you. If the situation doesn’t have a direct bearring on your life in a POSITIVE WAY, learn to not take it on as yours. The work in life is in learning to streamline your baggage, not in carrying everyone else’s up the mountain. Carrying other’s burdens does not make you the superhero, it makes you the fool. Afterall, your carrying their baggage doesn’t help them learn their lessons and by doing so, you have just made life harder for yourself. Who wins here? No one.

Give your back a rest. Give others their own baggage to carry up the mountain. Everyone will get there in their own time and with their own learnings and comfort level. Let the journey to the top begin.
