don't give up when you hit a ceiling, break through it!

choosing growth means choosing discomfort. but within this discomfort, you find comfort.
it is both ironic and paradoxical. getting uncomfortable to be comfortable. nothing in life comes without a price. we try to evade the price, literally and figuratively. but life costs. things require an exchange of energy and growth costs... a lot.
it costs you all of your lies. it costs you all of your pretenses and defenses. it leaves you cracked open and this can be perceived as a very painful process.
why go through with something that causes you pain? well, it isn’t growth that causes you pain but the years of false conditioning that you have to grow out of that causes you pain.
you can’t decide to do something different with your life and not have to face the consequences your previous lifestyle created.
you will be confronted with karma. all the actions that you have committed against others and yourself are programmed into your body. you don’t get to change your mind and everything disappears.
no, healing/transformation/growth doesn’t quite work like that. you have to move energy that has been stuck for a long time. it is like turning a valve that is stuck, it takes a lot of energy but once it is open, it is easy to open again.
it is very tempting to give up once you hit the ceiling. our job is to keep breaking ceilings. and the beautiful thing about growth is also the thing that makes it annoying at times, there are no limits. you can keep breaking ceilings and there will be more ceilings to break.
you become a millionaire and you have to learn how to be the kind of person who is a billionaire and so on.
this applies to all aspects of life.
the key is being content at the level you are on. not getting frustrated when you hit the ceiling moment. this only means we are ready for the next level.
most of us take it as a big fuck you from the universe. however, it is not.
and i know this feeling so well. we are on the journey and everything is going well and then all of a sudden we hit a stopping point.
things get unclear and foggy.
life starts to feel like a valve that is stuck. we can’t quite get it open. we feel out of flow.
we can choose to look at these moments as defeat or opportunity.
right now, with 2020 approaching it feels like these moments of opportunity are more available than ever.
growth feels like it is accessible at an accelerated pace.
meaning the number of ceilings you are able to break through are higher than ever.
ceilings are presenting themselves because the veil is thinner than ever. and to become something you have never been you must do something you have never done.
so what does that mean for you? stepping into a new career? moving to a different space/city? leaving a relationship that no longer fits?
whatever it may be, it is not a punishment from the universe. rather an opportunity for you to reach your next level.
anytime you hit a ceiling, it just means you are ready to move to the next level of your life. take it as a sign from your higher self. a green light. GO!
