Patience in the face of the dragon.
We all know life can have its ups and downs, right?
As individuals we tend to go through phases; sometimes the ups and downs are little mini moments throughout a day, and other times they are big chapters of upheaval and then contentment.
What if I told you that you shouldn’t want it any other way?
What if you knew that those ups and downs are what carve out your unique human experience throughout this lifetime, and that it wasn’t a matter of pass or fail in terms of your own personal happiness?
Do you think you would be able to navigate those ups and downs in a different way?
Often it seems, humans are navigating life as though they are going to reach some assessment at the end of their life, and if they haven’t done a “good enough” job, someone up in a metaphorical sky is going to tell them that they can’t pass through.
Like a game of unforgiving Monopoly – Do not pass Go, Do not collect $200. Straight to jail, or in this case, purgatory for you.
These beliefs have been so heavily indoctrinated into our psyche that even if you don’t believe in the teachings of religion, you are likely to still carry some of the dogma that influences your everyday wellbeing.
This month, the invitation is for you to place a reframe over the way you view the obstacles in your life.
Yes, they can be frustrating, painful and sometimes feel really unfair…but they are also part of the wonderful and vast experience of your human life.
The more you accept them as part of your everyday – the macro and the micro – the less affected you will let yourself be by the circumstances that they bring with them.
Whenever you are presented with an obstacle this month, approach it with patience and an elevated perspective.
Allow yourself to view things from the viewpoint of your soul, like a bird soaring high above the situation, being able to see every element of what is playing out – past, present and future.
The more you invite this curious perspective and trust in divine timing and guidance, the more easily you will see life unfolding for you in all it’s perfection.
Feel any feelings that arise, let them pass through you, then remind yourself that you are not involved in a life game of pass or fail, and you have the time and patience to ride this wave out.
The Universe has always got your back.
Never forget that.
