“just show up and the message will come”
i’ve gotten the download a million times -- show up for life so that life can show up for you.
i never fully understood it though, there was too much resistance and self-doubt in the way.
it’s all part of the process.
learning to get out of my own way has been one of the most difficult things i have learned (and am still learning) to do.
i thought it would get easier in time. i thought that one day i would wake up and be as confident as my teachers - that it happened naturally.
but the more i observed, the more i recognized that no one ever feels 100% certain of themselves, 100% of the time.
even the most successful people continue to deal with their nerves (shocker, i know).
this is what allowed me to realize that it isn’t about not having any fears, its about feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
sure, it gets less scary over time.
things get easier.
you learn more about your own patterns and what works for you as you go.
but you never get to the point of being able to control everything and uncertainty will always create a little anxiety or fear and that is okay.
we learn to accept that.
we learn to trust that even though we are jumping, we are jumping into the hands of God and will be caught and cared for.
this way of thinking allows us to stop being so critical of ourselves and accept that we have a purpose that isn’t about us - it allows us to get out of our own way.
which of course, is step 1 of getting out the trap.
p.s. watch as I live this out in real life - i mean, we do have to practice what we preach :)
p.s.s happy full moon :)
