YOU ARE EXACTLY WHERE YOU NEED TO BE

You are exactly where you need to be. Because in every moment you can choose love over fear. And change your life.

Whether you are flying high right now or feeling despair, it is all perfect because the universe brings up and lines us up with whatever we need to grow and expand even more into the fullness of who we really are. Growing pains are real!

The closer we get to our dreams, our heart’s desires, the more painful it is for the ego and the old fear-based stories that it held onto so closely, because it knows that it’s losing its grip and it will have to fall away completely as we move forward. Resistance is part of the process. How we handle this resistance, which can appear to be a backwards motion, a regression to old patterns and habits, or just frozen in fear, is how we shift up to the next gear and experience another growth spurt. This is how we grow in leaps and bounds.

When I hit my rough patches, if I had known what was on the other side of them, I never would have suffered–not even for a moment.

Trusting the process and knowing that it was never going to be a straight linear line of growth, but rather one that ebbed and flowed, because sometimes the ego would come in and other times it would sit quietly in the backseat where it belonged, was something I started to learn as I came out of my biggest challenges. I came to realize that no matter how hard the current circumstance seemed, if I showed up differently for this spiritual assignment that was given to me, I could turn it all around–and fast. The universe will give to us a lesson as many times as it needs to in order to teach us what we need to learn–it’s not punishment, it’s for the purpose of our soul’s evolution (Click to tweet)–and a pattern within us will reappear until we finally release it with our sincere desire and willingness to let it go.

The freedom and flow of life right on the other side of fear, pain, and struggle is unimaginable and it’s the reward that awaits us for pushing past the illusions that kept us stuck for so long. When we slay our dragons, we realize we were also the creators of them; the story that we were a victim and powerless over any of it drops and we begin creating our happy dream from the clarity of love and empowerment.

The idea now is to become very conscious of what we’re thinking and how we’re feeling so that we can begin to float above the drama and the tantrums of our ego and watch and observe what is coming up for us, but not be a part of its story anymore. When we know that only love is real, we can watch the ego rather than let it aggressively pull us back down into the trenches. And now is the time to look at everything courageously, leaving no dark corner untouched by the light of your loving perceptions.

Recognize your limiting patterns, look your fears in the face and any feelings of lack and unworthiness, and choose to see and do things differently–from love rather than fear this time. This is the spiritual teaching applied and brought into action in your life–intellectual understanding without experiential understanding is nothing. We show up for ourselves every day and in every moment in our lives and have a choice to do it the old way or try the new way because the old way clearly isn’t working, by which we pioneer our new path. We can’t take everything with us. We have to travel light because this time we are free of our burdens and we’re going to fly.

Love,

Jennifer
