It's Never Too Late for This

Over the last week, I took a dip into the pools of fear, self-judgment, and mental agony. 

It's funny how after years of being on the path to self-mastery, I still fall flat on my face sometimes!

Besides being a lesson in humility, it's a lesson in deepening my awareness and working the muscles of living intentionally.

My go-to reaction to these “flare-ups,” as I call them, is to RESIST.

My resistance takes the form of the following thoughts (thoughts in the conscious mind and thoughts I'm embodying):

• This shouldn't be happening.

• I should be beyond this.

• I'm not transformed enough.

• I'm too weak.

• This is too much.

• I don't know what to do.

• Etc.

Pushing as hard as I can against a solid wall is exhausting! A wall is only standing there, and without me pushing against it, there’s no energy needed from me.

Likewise, the emotional and mental challenges that arise for me, the ones that I still sometimes resist, don't require any energy from me to manage as long as I don't push up against them.

This time around, as is usually the case, the feelings and experience began to shift for me the moment I authentically said, "Thank you. Thank you for the gift you’re here to give. I don’t yet see what the gift is, but I know you’re here to give me one."

It shifts for me when I authentically say, "Thank you, I love you." And I say it repeatedly.

What I most want in my life is to experience and live from being unconditionally in love with all of life. So the moment I stop resisting and instead turn towards the feeling, thinking, or sensation with gratitude, love, and interest, everything begins to shift.

This post is a reminder to future me - a reminder to turn towards my experiences in life with gratitude and love, even when life seems really hard. That’s my access to creating miracles.

It’s never too late to turn towards my feelings with gratitude and love.

It’s never too late to turn towards my thinking with gratitude and love.

It’s never too late to turn towards my body with gratitude and love.

It’s never too late to turn towards peace.

It’s never too late to turn towards love.

It’s never too late to turn towards curiosity. 

It’s never too late to say, “I’m sorry.”

It’s never too late to say, “Thank you.”

It’s never too late to say, “I love you.”

It’s never too late to awaken gratitude for anything. 

It’s never too late to take action consistent with what I really want.

It’s never too late to turn, with love, towards anything.

Much Love. ❤️
