- Where am I truly being led?
- How can I serve in a bigger way?
- And who do I want to hang with on this journey?
You see, I was not fully coming from a place of trusting the universe’s plan. I had a strong case of controlitis and it was all about “getting the show on the road, crossing my T’s and dotting my I’s, getting stable and manifesting abundance as fast as I could! Sound familiar?
Fear can do that. It can make us figure shit out quickly and make us act before we have all the information. Maybe before we are truly ready to make a move.
Don’t get me wrong, I have listened with my heart for Spirit’s guidance, like when I knew to make my “Shed the Shame” film. That message was clear as could be and I am so grateful I heard it and acted (over 8500 people have seen it and I still can’t believe the amazing impact it continues to have).
But I have also allowed my mind to take me for strolls that led me astray because I felt afraid. All good because I have learned a lot. But now… the white board.
Have you ever taken some good solid time to reflect on what’s next for you? Have you sunk in deeply to assess what is for your highest and best and acted accordingly? I have given myself this precious gift.
As I enter the Fall season I have chosen differently.
I have a bunch of cool events planned but I also have a lot of white space for the mystery to unfold. It’s thrilling, like getting on a new ride at Disney and you don’t know what magic is coming.
The thing is, when you allow the mystery to unfold, sometimes human emotions kick in and your mind can freak a bit… And that can cause some anxiety, doubt and even physical pain…my back has been hurting and I hear its calling.
What to do?
Support! I looked to my team. My wise friends, my body workers, my coach, and the quiet of my home to stop and sit in meditation.
A dear friend encouraged me to write one word on the board…
! Interesting choice from my seat in the audience, primarily because I twice commented on the implications of the word just yesterday.
I believe that Trust is dependent to a certain degree on expectations we have in relationships, even with regard to Spirit.
A limitation of language perhaps, and a need to understand that the word has different connotations, depending on context.
Either way, the limitations placed on our selves if we try to live life without Trust (and re-Trust) can be debilitating.
Trust is required for Faith.
Thank you for all you share, and the energy with which you share it, Junie!
Gosh Matthew, I missed your comment. Thanks so much and hell yeah!!!
