Had you told me a few years back that there is a gift to be had in suffering, I may have questioned your reasoning... however I now know that is a truth.
If we choose to do some personal development in order to enhance the quality of our life, to live our purpose and follow our passion, it is pretty much a sure thing that we will undergo some uncomfortable moments, and even some painful ones as we drop the veneer and become our authentic selves.
Yet, the relief, the feelings of freedom, the boost in energy, and the creativity and productivity that will follow, is worth it all. You will even start to wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
Twelve days ago, I chose to go through what has proven to be one of my most painful life moments. At the time I was did not know how things would unfold, but my intuition had been telling me that the inevitable needed to be dealt with, if I was to move forward anchored in my Essence, to follow my purpose, and honor my own truth.
Since the moment that the so called balloon got royally burst, and through the many tears shed, the Universe has now delivered gifts and synchronicities that it was unable to deliver, prior to my getting clear on what I wanted, why I wanted it, and making a DECISION.
Those couple of hours have led to the following (please know that I am not sharing this to impress you but rather to empress upon you, that once we listen to our inner voice, life begins to change). I could not have accomplished this even if I had planned for it.. in the last week and half...
- I terminated a job, cleaned out all related files
- cleaned out the files in my computer
- cleaned out every drawer, and closet I have
- was able to donate 3 van loads of stuff
- got supplies and painted 3 bedrooms
- had all carpets and upholstery in the house cleaned
- took time for lunch with some business friends and was then offered a wonderful opportunity to speak this fall on my passion, and at this same meeting had a chance to get housing arrangements dealt with
- went into the office where I will be working this fall, and followed through on the hiring process for a new employee
- listened to a core members call - which I believe what the absolute BEST yet
- had a coaching call
- gained further clarity on what my sacred gifts are, what my purpose is and what my next step is
- actually cooked some great healthy meals,
- even shed a couple of pounds
- by working on myself, my partner of 29 years decided to get some professional help and do what is right for himself
- had a quality conversation with each of my sons who are currently out of town
- was able to assist my brother find a translator for his business
- attended friends 25th anniversary party
- found time to journal and get quiet twice a day
and yes I did sleep every night and even had an afternoon nap - which I never do.
I feel more grounded and I have been told that I look like a huge weight has been lifted and that despite the suffering I appear "happier".
Furthermore, through the "core" members call I came to realize that to create our own path - our own legend - we need to go on our journey on our own, and those who love us will follow us.
I know that the suffering is not complete - but now I can embrace it and look for the gifts within it. I am in total gratitude for this entire life experience and the wonderful people alongside me, on my path.
Learn to Tap Within and Be Your Own Wizard.
Blessings to You in all ways, always.
