Getting Out of Your Own Way

… helps life to flow MUCH EASIER.

But somehow we’re always getting in the way of ourselves. We make things harder then they need to be.

You’ll know that you’re in your own way because you’re trying to FORCE AN OUTCOME which is currently unavailable to you. In other words, there’s something in your life that you are trying hard to secure (a relationship, job, housing situation, etc… ) but unfortunately it’s NOT materializing with ease.

So what do you do? Most of us naturally try HARDER, it’s human nature to do so and that’s an appropriate response, but to what end? If you find yourself in a situation where you’re continually trying and trying to force an outcome and it’s still eluding you, BACK OFF and recognize that there’s a reason why you are being held back from that outcome. Accept that in this moment, there’s a better outcome for you that hasn’t yet been discovered.

Continually pushing past resistance doesn’t bring you what you want faster, it just exhausts you. That resistance we run into is very purposeful. It’s in place to safeguard us from achieving a desired outcome that isn’t right for us.

Be careful what you wish for. If you push hard enough, you just might get it. And if it isn’t the right thing for you, you’ll soon realize that you didn’t really want it after all.

Get out of the way of yourself and let what’s right for you, find it’s way to you. Stop thinking you have all the answers. We seldom do. Stop fighting to make something happen and let life bring you what is meant to happen. You may be pleasantly surprised.

When Life Poses More Questions Than Answers

… you’re in the RIGHT place.

But we never like uncertainty. We feel as if we need to know the answers to everything in advance. When you’re faced with many questions and uncertainties, it means that you are in a phase of personal growth where you are learning about yourself and the world around you is subsequently changing to fit your needs.  In other words, you are in a period of transformation. Transformation never comes about with great ease, it comes about through questioning and trial and error.

If you are not questioning the world around you, then you are not growing and evolving. Questioning your world pushes you to open up to new directions and new opportunities that you might not have otherwise discovered. Contentedness breeds mediocrity. Uncertainty breeds discovery.  

It’s time to ask more questions and discover more of the world around you. We all seek to find a world where we can feel comfortable and make a difference. If you do not question your role daily, how can you grow to expand yourself and find where you need to be? Life is a process and asking questions is the ignition key to success. Stop thinking you have all the answers. No one has all the answers. If we did, there would be no reason to be here. Start questioning your life, it can only bring you to a much better place.

Releasing Your Grip

… allows things to BREATHE.

Trying to hyper-control situations strangle-holds them.

We hold so tightly to what it is we think is right for us. In fact, we continually push our agendas forward even in the face of adversity. But to what end? Where do we stop and realize that resistance is a form of protection. If you are finding it hard to continue on in a given direction, it might be because you are not meant to. Resistance is a universal sign to back-off.  There is something there that you might not be seeing.

We are conditioned to think that if we work hard enough and push hard enough that we can alter any situation to our advantage, but that is using force to drive your life. A better way of living your life is to STOP pushing when you hit a wall and step back. Give yourself some space and time to breathe and allow what is meant to make its way to you, to get to you. Your future might need a bit of course-correction.

Your life is divine. There is an order to it. There is fate and destiny already in place. You can always use your free will to alter any and all of it, but note that you will absolutely encounter resistance if you are pushing towards the wrong conclusion. Take that as a sign to stop exhausting yourself. Take that step back so you can see more clearly. That step back will free up the energy to allow what is really meant for you to catch up with you. Time and space is the ultimate neutralizer.

You want to learn to breathe your way through your life. Controlling doesn’t secure your future, allowing does. When you are ready to release your grip on what you thought you wanted/needed, you will be able to make room for something even more beautiful. Clarity comes from releasing your grip, letting go of control and learning to trust in the process of your life to bring you to exactly where you need to be. Where else would you want to go?
