Facing Challenges

​

This next idea is a great example of empowered assertiveness to not run away from life’s problems. To use the challenges life presents, the emotional reactions, and hardships to shine you up. Having the courage to go through the ring of fire, over and over again, yet coming out new, more and more awakened, enlightened… more deeply connected to your Divine Heart, the One Heart of the Universe. It is about having the self-awareness, the self love and confidence in knowing what you truly are and stepping into your power as a creative Master. A Master lives on this planet in wide open, unstoppable love, joy, and present moment peace. You need to graduate spiritually in order to make it down to what may appear its opposite. Yet God has no opposites, therefore what you may have interpreted as challenges come into your experience to help you grow and learn and live as if you already are in Heaven.

​

When we turn away from or avoid responsibility for our inner demons and egoic tendencies we miss that opportunity to deepen our joy and become freer. When we avoid the hard conversations and grit in our lives, we miss out on many opportunities to heal a part of our minds and expand into a more expansive Identity. This Identity is your soul power, your eternal nonphysical True Identity. We miss opportunities to grow when we are in denial, absent, unconscious and in some sort of mental disturbance, negative thought pattern, pain loop, stressful thoughts… innocent confusion. When we hide from the skeletons, we believe we hold in the closet of our mind, we give them more power. They are powerless when we have the courage to face them.

It is nothing more than finally being free to be completely authentic, self-expressed and alive. Live as our true selves rather than hiding in fear. Shining bright for the mere joy of it, why not?

​

We wake up by noticing those moments we are sleeping… unconscious. We become mindful when we notice when we are mindless. Those moments we are not fully present and dwell in sensations less than deeply peaceful, and we choose to gently and kindly awaken by bringing the mind back to the present moment. Over and over feeding the wolf of love rather than fear. Bringing the mind to mindful presence rather than unconscious complaining.

​

The disturbing thoughts within the mind are the only thing keeping you from peace. In times of challenge, we have the opportunity to learn and grow from the challenge, get the lesson. We also have the opportunity to be committed to sanity and peace and not engage in low vibrational or stressful thoughts. We become more mature with overcoming the challenges in our lives. There is no depth to an adult who has been fed the silver spoon, still acting like a teenager and knows nothing of responsibility, service to others, or hardship.

​

We have power over our minds, no one can ever take that power away from us. Often during challenges in our lives, we get to remind ourselves how empowered we are. We forget that our vortex is within, our peace is not determined by the external circumstances or anything others say or do, how our body looks or feels, what our financial situation is, the state of our world… nothing external can affect our inner state of being unless we allow it to. We can choose peace at all times, we can be the calm amidst the storm.

​

Empowered people don't complain about their problems and challenges, they may share and unload to a close friend or partner who is aware and will help guide them to a clear and balanced perspective. You don’t want to share with someone who engages the drama and feeds the negativity. We need someone at times we can vent with, however, we are conscious that complaining isn't a way of being. Someone who also sees challenges as learning opportunities and who is humble enough to always continue to learn and grow. They take problems as challenges to take responsibility for healing their own consciousness… consciousness creates… and remain at peace even amidst the apparent chaos. 

​

Live life fully; not afraid of challenges but facing them bravely. Committed to seeing all the grit as opportunities to shine you up, while having the blessed opportunity to be an eternal Soul living this temporary physical life play.
