 As human beings we are highly motivated to avoid pain. However, choosing to step up and recognise our uniqueness, have a voice, and own our true value, is how we make the difference in our life when we are seeking positive change. After all, no-one else can live our life for us.
To avoid feeling shame or emotional pain, we tend to side-step, deny and cover up our true self so we are not visible to the world. When change comes knocking on our door, we tend to avoid the perceived discomfort, rather than celebrate the opportunities it may bring. When we are faced with our inner truth and we have not yet experienced the safety and expansion of true love (unconditional love), all we know is how to avoid being hurt. We build walls around our heart, and we steer our conversations to topics that feel safe. We engage in activities that allow us to feel somewhat confident, and we associate with people who will not threaten our sense of security. We even choose careers, jobs and relationships that will not challenge us too much for fear of failing or having to deal with situations that will leave us feeling vulnerable or inadequate. In short, we minimise our existence and the opportunity to shine by being our best self. The pain of living a life that is mediocre or like ground-hog day, is not the experience most of us want to have. Nor do we want to feel a lack of fulfilment or that we are not growing to our potential. The fear of failure or rejection is often a huge motivator to shift ourself into high gear to create change in our life by making different choices. Our new awareness that we are perhaps living only as a shadow of our best version, can feel soul-destroying over time. However, having courage to express and be our true self is how we align with our soul-purpose and experience freedom within. As we give voice to our truth, we give life to our ‘reason for being’. The Universe then responds by providing opportunities and situations that match our energy and our intentions. When we are in flow with our soul-purpose, we are no longer blocking our potential, and we become magnificent creators in our life - powerful magicians! Whatever you do, don’t waste your life or the opportunities to be your best. Sing, dance and live your life now. As Wayne Dyer says “Don’t die with the music still in you”. Your awareness today is your invitation to choose differently, so you can live a life you truly love. ~~~ "The Power of Soul Loving - A Spiritual Guide to Love and Freedom" by Rebecca Gabrielle (Balboa Press, 2019, Ch12) https://www.thepowerofsoulloving.com/
