When we encounter tough times in our life it is often extremely difficult to see the positive aspect of it. This is the same for everyone until you learn to retrain your mind to seek out the "little bit of silver lining" in the situation.
Consider the old saying "What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger". It is one of those sayings we use as platitudes, but it is one of the truest sayings you may encounter in life. When we are faced with yet another obstacle in our life, we are given the opportunity to find ways to overcome them. We are challenged to step out of our comfort zone, and at times they are very important life lessons we desperately need to learn.
One of those lessons may be that we can not do everything by ourselves. We need help from time to time and asking for help - dealing with the fear of rejection - is difficult for most of us. Life often has taught us through a series of events that the only person you can really count on is yourself. When we get that type of mindset, we are usually thrown into a situation that is so overwhelming that we do not have a choice but to reach out to others for support. Be that support emotionally, mentally, physically or financially.
At the same time our need for aid maybe at the same time a lesson for someone we encounter in seeking the momentary help we need to teach them a lesson in sharing, compassion, tolerance and more.
The universe is limitless and unending. The only limitations set on the spirit which is our spark of life are the ones we our self place upon us. We, the little fleeting sparks of humanity, create those limitations by our fears, self doubt, drama seeking ways. When we stop for a second and accept that there is always help available to us if we just reach out, ask for it and more importantly accept it when it is given, our life becomes a lot easier.
One of my biggest obstacles I had to overcome and learn is that I was worthy. Worthy of what? Just worthy! Worthy period. I had to learn that I was worth a lot just by merit of being a human being with the universal right for love, living my life to the best possible. I was worthy of receiving help when I needed it etc.
I was brought up for many years as a child having the thought that I was worthless, had no right to live, should never have been born drilled into me. When you hear such notions as a child over and over again, the mind attaches itself to those things. They eventually become your "truth". Remember what I said about truth before? Truth is individual! We each have our own perception of what "truth" is. Mine had become that I was worthless, had no right to anything and would have been better of dead.
Now don't feel sorry for me, that is not why I am telling you this, nor do I want you to be angry on my behave at those who knew no better. This was an obstacle I had to overcome. It was an entire set of lessons I was brought into this lifetime with.
I had to learn that some people speak out of their own misery only and can not function unless they make someone else hurt.
I had to learn to forgive them and to move beyond that pain it brought.
I had to learn not to accept blindly and at face value what I would be told by other human beings over the years of my life, but to put up a fine filter that would allow me to see what was good to keep and what had to be instantly rejected.
I had to learn to find my own truth, my own sense of self. I had to learn that I have worth, that I am worthy and that in the course of my life it was important that I was born and grew in spirit and wisdom.
Aside from that it came with a huge gift as well, something that did not become apparent until several years later when I was already a full grown woman in body if not in spirit and mind.
It had given me the gift of tolerance and the need to be a gentler spirit. The need to reach out to help others who had went through this. To be able to listen to others worries and help them overcome their emotional scares in a way that would be suitable to them. These years of inner rejection and pain, where essentially my initial hands on training lessons from the universal store of knowledge which would later on in life give me the prerequisite it would take to become a lifecoach and counselor to other broken vessels called human beings.
I never went to university and got a degree for it. I do not have a pretty little document hanging on my wall that declares I have been trained to counsel others. My diploma came from everyday living in the real world from the Universal school of living. My testing came everytime I was down on my knees and cried my eyes out in silence and solitude thinking I couldn't get past this, only to get up a few minutes later with my back squared, my head held high and a determination that I was not going to be kept down.
You know what my friends? Everytime I said I can not handle this anymore and I have no clue how I am going to get through this, I was wrong. The answers were there for me all along, I had just not opened the right box or looked in the right corner yet to uncover them. I reacted as most human beings would at first. With a feeling of being overwhelmed and at times even hopeless.
The wonderful part of me at least is so that which each obstacle in life I did overcome I also gained the knowledge that almost nothing is impossible to overcome or endure. I gained more and more confidence in myself and my inner strength. I gained courage to step up and step out of the limitations I had accepted as real and turned them around to expand my life and my world just a little bit more each time. The great news is that you can do the same thing.
You are awesome already!!! Yes, you are, don't shake your head at me! You are a wonderfully awesome human being with an immense store full of great qualities, talents and personal potential. You deserve to be loved, to love, to forgive and be forgiven. You deserve to receive help when you really need it and you deserve the pleasure of helping others when they come to you for help and being in the position to give that help without a question or thought of what it may do for you.
There is such wonderful pleasure, such a warming of the spirit when you can do something special for someone else. There is nothing like watching the glow on someone elses face when you gave of yourself or from what you had extra simply to keep the universal cycle of abundance going.
That too is a life lesson I learned - the lesson of abundance. I am going to talk about that one with you next week so. It is time for me to wrap this up and to wish you all happy holidays and love, peace and happiness.
Yours always
